Have you ever wondered exactly
how to prepare healthy food that
00:00:01.36\00:00:04.27
actually tastes good. Well
stay tuned while Evita Tezeno
00:00:04.30\00:00:07.94
and yours truly, Nyse Collins,
show you just how to do it
00:00:07.97\00:00:10.87
and give you something
better. A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:10.91\00:00:14.08
Welcome to A Taste of
Paradise My name is Evita Tezeno
00:00:29.66\00:00:34.46
And today we're going to
be making an Eggplant Bacon
00:00:34.50\00:00:40.94
And I have a special
guest today. I have my friend
00:00:40.97\00:00:44.94
Yvonne Lewis. Hey
Evita, Hi, how you doing?
00:00:44.97\00:00:49.28
I'm so glad to be here. I'm
not the queen of the kitchen ok
00:00:50.25\00:00:53.38
Ok. So to observe how you do
the raw food thing, I'm excited.
00:00:53.42\00:00:58.19
And I bought some
eggplant recently. Really?
00:00:58.22\00:01:01.46
And I don't know what
to do with it. So show me.
00:01:01.49\00:01:03.29
Well a lot of people don't
know what to do with eggplant
00:01:03.32\00:01:06.06
So this is a quick and easy way
to get eggplant in your diet.
00:01:06.09\00:01:11.50
Because you know I
teach "Eat the Rainbow"
00:01:11.53\00:01:15.20
So here you get a
chance to eat a purple item
00:01:15.24\00:01:19.31
Purple food item.
What does that do?
00:01:19.34\00:01:21.48
It has Vitamin E, Vitamin K
00:01:23.24\00:01:27.75
And also it has
the white flesh as well
00:01:27.78\00:01:32.15
It has Vitamin C in it. Oh good!
00:01:32.19\00:01:35.92
We're going to start
off by peeling our eggplant
00:01:35.96\00:01:41.20
And do you always peel it or...
00:01:41.23\00:01:44.07
do you sometimes
leave the peel in on it?
00:01:44.10\00:01:46.30
When you're doing raw you
have to peel it because it gets
00:01:46.33\00:01:49.57
like leather. Oh ok. Because
we're gonna dehydrate the recipe
00:01:49.60\00:01:53.14
So you have to peel it in
order to use the flesh inside
00:01:53.17\00:01:58.88
It's kind of a stubborn
thing to peel. So we gonna just
00:01:58.91\00:02:05.12
peel it like so.
00:02:05.15\00:02:08.76
Is there anything you do
with the peel or discard it?
00:02:08.79\00:02:12.09
Just throw it away. Oh ok.
00:02:12.13\00:02:13.46
Yeah, there's nothing
you can do with the peel.
00:02:13.50\00:02:15.76
So we gonna, we're almost done
peeling it and we gonna take
00:02:17.90\00:02:21.50
the top of it off.
We're gonna discard that.
00:02:21.54\00:02:25.24
And we're using the tool,
this is called the Mandolin
00:02:25.27\00:02:30.68
Ah. Oh I've
seen you use it. Yes.
00:02:30.71\00:02:32.91
And it gives you even slices.
00:02:33.72\00:02:38.82
And you just do it like that
and you see the slices there?
00:02:44.26\00:02:47.20
Yeah. This is pretty amazing.
00:02:47.23\00:02:49.26
This eggplant is a
little stubborn. Uh huh.
00:02:51.93\00:02:55.27
You've got to coax it along.
00:02:55.30\00:02:57.67
I don't know recently I've been
kinda craving eggplant. Really?
00:03:01.88\00:03:05.61
Yeah I love it, and
cook some with onions, garlic
00:03:05.65\00:03:11.52
Oh yeah. I love that.
00:03:11.55\00:03:14.99
And of course you
can make a vegan cheese
00:03:16.32\00:03:18.79
and eggplant parmesan. Of
course we're talking raw now
00:03:18.83\00:03:21.83
Yes, let me go back to raw
00:03:21.86\00:03:24.20
Let's come back to raw please.
00:03:24.23\00:03:26.50
Well we have
our eggplant. Uh huh
00:03:27.04\00:03:29.37
And it's real
thin. It's very thin.
00:03:29.40\00:03:32.37
And you know I
forgot my cutting board
00:03:33.51\00:03:38.41
So I'm gonna use
this. Sure, sure.
00:03:38.45\00:03:42.75
So we have to
improvise. We're gonna improvise
00:03:42.78\00:03:46.76
We're going to use the container
we're going to marinate it in
00:03:46.79\00:03:52.83
Okay. So we just take
the eggplant and we stack it
00:03:52.86\00:03:57.50
and we cut it in halves.
00:03:57.53\00:03:59.13
Because we want
it to resemble bacon.
00:03:59.17\00:04:02.00
Oh ok. Yeah. We
want it to resemble it.
00:04:02.04\00:04:05.64
So we put the eggplant in here
00:04:05.67\00:04:09.14
And you said bacon,
you have a recipe for this?
00:04:09.18\00:04:12.11
Oh yes. The ingredients
for the eggplant bacon
00:04:12.15\00:04:15.22
Now we're gonna use my
favorite tool the Vitamix
00:04:45.65\00:04:48.82
If you don't have a
Vitamix you can use a blender
00:04:48.85\00:04:53.29
but you have to
blend it a little longer
00:04:53.32\00:04:56.09
Now the chipotle
pepper, what does that do?
00:05:00.20\00:05:02.30
Does it make it hot, or
It makes it hot and smoky
00:05:02.33\00:05:06.03
Oh. This is uh...because
I use some ingredients
00:05:06.07\00:05:10.91
that are not raw, this is one
of the ingredients that is not
00:05:10.94\00:05:14.44
This is a smoked,
red jalapeno pepper.
00:05:14.48\00:05:17.65
And it has been smoked and dried
00:05:19.15\00:05:21.82
I'm going to salivate (laughter)
00:05:21.85\00:05:24.25
We should get a
tissue or something...
00:05:25.72\00:05:28.59
And we have maple syrup and this
gives it a kinda sweet taste
00:05:28.62\00:05:33.96
Right. So you have the
sweet smoky thing going on?
00:05:34.00\00:05:37.07
Sweet and salty, just like bacon
00:05:37.10\00:05:40.47
Ok, ok. But an
animal didn't have to die.
00:05:40.50\00:05:43.47
And we use this chipotle pepper
00:05:46.07\00:05:49.88
Can you get that
from just a regular store?
00:05:49.91\00:05:52.45
Yes you could get dried chipotle
peppers from a regular store
00:05:52.48\00:05:56.42
We have olive oil
00:05:57.65\00:05:59.85
This is cumin, mmm
00:06:01.39\00:06:03.56
smoked paprika
00:06:09.16\00:06:11.63
And garlic
00:06:11.67\00:06:14.07
Can't forget the garlic, uh huh
00:06:14.10\00:06:16.00
It's a great, great ingredient
00:06:16.04\00:06:20.88
Now this is a real quick
recipe. You see we just blend it
00:06:33.12\00:06:36.93
You just pour the marinade over
00:06:36.96\00:06:41.36
And I always like to
get my fingers in the food
00:06:43.57\00:06:47.94
So you want to make
sure it's all distributed
00:06:47.97\00:06:54.28
Just in case the viewers don't
know, you always wash your hands
00:06:56.01\00:06:59.91
Yes, you always wash your hands
00:06:59.95\00:07:02.28
I keep soap and water
and always wash my hands.
00:07:04.52\00:07:08.89
Because you know some
viewers are kind of...yeah, yeah
00:07:09.96\00:07:13.50
I guess you can use some tongs
if you don't wanna put your hand
00:07:13.53\00:07:18.23
But you know I love to
put my hands in the food.
00:07:18.27\00:07:22.24
So you want to make sure that
you marinate, you cover every
00:07:22.27\00:07:28.48
slice with the chipotle mixture
00:07:28.51\00:07:33.18
and you want to cover this and
put it in the fridge overnight
00:07:34.55\00:07:37.25
So good right now. Yes, okay
00:07:37.29\00:07:39.72
You stick this in
the fridge overnight
00:07:39.75\00:07:44.49
The next day you
get a dehydrator sheet
00:07:49.10\00:07:54.24
and then you lay,
one strip at a time. Okay
00:07:54.27\00:07:59.01
on the dehydrator sheet. You
want to dehydrate it overnight
00:07:59.04\00:08:03.28
So let me get it straight in
my head. So you put it in the
00:08:04.38\00:08:07.35
refrigerator one
night. And then the next night
00:08:07.38\00:08:10.75
And the next day you dehydrate
it. So you could do it in the
00:08:10.79\00:08:15.02
evening before you go
to bed and make sure that
00:08:15.06\00:08:19.79
you put it in the refrigerator
and when you wake up in the
00:08:19.83\00:08:23.33
morning, right before you
go to work you can stick this
00:08:23.37\00:08:26.63
in the dehydrator. Ok. And
it can dehydrate all day while
00:08:26.67\00:08:30.31
you're at work. Ok,
good. If you can you do that
00:08:30.34\00:08:33.07
Because the energy with
the dehydrator is very low
00:08:33.11\00:08:36.34
Very very low. The
energy usage is very low.
00:08:36.38\00:08:40.15
And it doesn't pull
a lot of energy. Okay
00:08:41.18\00:08:43.99
So after it has been
dehydrating overnight
00:08:44.02\00:08:46.72
Look at that! Does
that look like it or what?
00:08:47.79\00:08:51.33
Okay. Can you taste this?
00:08:52.13\00:08:54.16
Now, come on you know me
You know I do want to taste
00:08:54.20\00:08:58.03
Here you go, taste it, taste it
00:08:58.07\00:08:59.70
Mmmm, and its chewy.
You're gonna like that.
00:09:04.44\00:09:11.21
Now guess what I
made? What did you make?
00:09:12.91\00:09:15.18
Come on, made a sandwich
00:09:15.22\00:09:19.05
Oh this is good. I can
see me snacking on this
00:09:19.95\00:09:24.49
When you want a
little spicy snack
00:09:24.53\00:09:26.49
If you're traveling,
because it's dehydrated
00:09:26.53\00:09:31.87
it doesn't have to be
refrigerated. So you could put
00:09:31.90\00:09:34.04
it in a zip lock bag
and it could be like jerky.
00:09:34.07\00:09:36.81
Like jerky, like jerky
00:09:36.84\00:09:38.17
This is, you know what?
The viewers need to know
00:09:38.21\00:09:41.18
that the crew, after we do all
these segments the crew comes in
00:09:41.21\00:09:46.18
alright so I'm
getting first dibs at this.
00:09:46.21\00:09:48.48
Laughter. I just
want the crew to know.
00:09:48.52\00:09:50.75
I get first dibs.
00:09:50.79\00:09:52.52
Oh this is so good.
I want another piece.
00:09:52.55\00:09:55.79
I've made a sandwich. In
one of our previous episodes
00:09:57.29\00:10:01.30
I made some raw bread
00:10:01.33\00:10:03.26
and so I made it
ELT instead of BLT
00:10:03.30\00:10:07.27
I love it, I love it. An ELT
00:10:07.30\00:10:10.01
Oh that is so neat.
You can put a cashew mayo
00:10:10.04\00:10:15.04
on here, or you could put some
raw cheese that I made in the
00:10:15.08\00:10:18.61
previous episode
and you have a sandwich.
00:10:18.65\00:10:21.58
That's awesome.
This is all plant based
00:10:21.62\00:10:24.29
Gluten free and it's delicious
00:10:24.32\00:10:29.02
It's delicious. I'm
telling you it's delicious.
00:10:29.06\00:10:32.43
I know, I'm so excited
00:10:33.73\00:10:36.06
Oh yeah, me too. Me too.
00:10:36.10\00:10:37.70
Well thank you
Evita for showing me this.
00:10:37.73\00:10:39.83
Well thank you for
coming to help me. This is good
00:10:39.87\00:10:41.80
This is Evita Tezeno.
Remember to live life fresh!
00:10:43.07\00:10:48.34
Breakfast, never
leave home without it.
00:10:55.98\00:10:59.42
You know there's a lot
of credit cards out there
00:10:59.45\00:11:01.09
they say you
shouldn't leave without them
00:11:01.12\00:11:02.76
That's maybe because they want
you to eat breakfast out there
00:11:02.79\00:11:05.13
and use your money.
But you should eat at home
00:11:05.16\00:11:07.66
Breakfast is the most
important meal of the day.
00:11:07.70\00:11:10.37
We already know that.
It's nothing new but many times
00:11:10.40\00:11:12.93
what do we do? We skip breakfast
and as a result we suffer
00:11:12.97\00:11:16.97
throughout the day. So none of
that anymore. Today we gonna do
00:11:17.01\00:11:19.64
something special.
You've already seen a fantastic
00:11:19.67\00:11:22.04
recipe. No more of this
you need to go and buy bacon
00:11:22.08\00:11:26.51
some use Turkey Bacon I
know what you talkin about
00:11:26.55\00:11:28.98
But today we gonna do something
special to add on to that
00:11:29.02\00:11:32.35
Evita did the ELT or the
bacon the eggplant bacon. Now we
00:11:32.85\00:11:40.23
gonna go ahead. You just can't
have the bacon alone, you need
00:11:40.26\00:11:42.60
some eggs to go along with that
00:11:42.63\00:11:43.97
So we have a special recipe.
But let me get back to this
00:11:44.00\00:11:46.43
breakfast thing. Because this
is crucial, crucial, crucial
00:11:46.47\00:11:49.20
A lot of times we wonder why
we can't balance our blessing
00:11:49.24\00:11:53.88
Y'all know what that means.
We don't say nobody is fat
00:11:53.91\00:11:56.38
or skinny. Some are over blessed
and some are under blessed
00:11:56.41\00:11:59.21
And we try this diet and
we're good for two weeks and we
00:11:59.25\00:12:03.79
crash and we're in the same
situation probably if not worse
00:12:03.82\00:12:06.96
Then we try this, we buy
this new machine and we do this
00:12:06.99\00:12:10.29
and we do that and
nothing seems to work.
00:12:10.33\00:12:12.46
Well you know what
the information is free
00:12:12.49\00:12:14.93
Like I said you already know it.
00:12:14.96\00:12:16.30
If you just
start having breakfast
00:12:16.33\00:12:19.07
Everything will be
added or taken away from you
00:12:19.10\00:12:23.41
You know what I'm
talkin about, right?
00:12:23.44\00:12:24.77
So what we wanna do is focus
on that and why is breakfast
00:12:24.81\00:12:27.98
so crucial. It's almost
like when you're about to drive
00:12:28.01\00:12:30.85
your car to work.
Let's say the car is on empty
00:12:30.88\00:12:35.05
When do you put gas in the
car? Do you put it when you
00:12:35.08\00:12:37.89
get to work or do you
put it on your way to work?
00:12:37.92\00:12:41.79
Now everybody's like come
on Nyse are you kidding me
00:12:41.82\00:12:43.99
what kinda question is that?
It's like the worst question
00:12:44.03\00:12:45.59
around town. Because if we don't
put it in on our way there, we
00:12:45.63\00:12:49.93
may never make it there.
Hello. That means we're actually
00:12:49.96\00:12:53.50
taking better care of our
cars then we're taking care of
00:12:53.54\00:12:56.47
this body. At least if I go,
if I don't put gas in the car
00:12:56.50\00:13:01.01
y'know some of y'all. You live
kinda on that E line whatever
00:13:01.04\00:13:05.41
and I'm talkin about
myself to be honest with you
00:13:05.45\00:13:07.35
I just keep drivin. For some
reason I think like I'm just
00:13:07.38\00:13:10.29
gonna, I guess it's a challenge
for me. How long can I drive
00:13:10.32\00:13:13.36
on E, you know what I mean?
00:13:13.39\00:13:14.72
And a lot of us are
driving on E all the time.
00:13:14.76\00:13:17.43
Well let's say we did
run out of gas in our car
00:13:17.46\00:13:19.66
We'll call up Roadside Service
or something of that nature
00:13:19.69\00:13:22.73
or your friend, your
buddy. Hey come and get me.
00:13:22.76\00:13:24.93
Yes they will be inconvenienced
a little bit but you'll get
00:13:24.97\00:13:27.54
right back and rollin. Now
let me tell you something here
00:13:27.57\00:13:30.41
When this runs out of gas
there's no call roadside service
00:13:30.44\00:13:35.44
call a friend
anymore. It's call 911.
00:13:35.48\00:13:39.25
And unfortunately that
body doesn't work like the car
00:13:39.28\00:13:43.79
Let's say the car was messed up
00:13:43.82\00:13:45.59
You can always buy
another one and replace it.
00:13:45.62\00:13:47.46
But this here, you
can't buy another one.
00:13:47.49\00:13:49.92
It's already been paid for you.
But what we need to do is take
00:13:49.96\00:13:52.89
care of it. And how do
we do that? Let's focus
00:13:52.93\00:13:56.46
You know how we're like
supposed to spend time with God
00:13:56.50\00:13:58.37
every morning? Spiritual
food is the most important thing
00:13:58.40\00:14:00.90
If you don't do that what's
gonna happen? You find yourself
00:14:00.94\00:14:03.10
angry at people, no patience,
no love or anything of that
00:14:03.14\00:14:05.77
nature. It's the same thing
with breakfast. You miss out on
00:14:05.81\00:14:08.11
on breakfast and all of a sudden
donuts seem like the best thing
00:14:08.14\00:14:11.21
around town. You miss breakfast
you're livin by the vending
00:14:11.25\00:14:14.05
machine. You miss breakfast,
you're stopping by every
00:14:14.08\00:14:15.75
fast food spot on the road.
And so as a result we need to
00:14:15.78\00:14:20.59
we need to focus on this.
Also what happens because you
00:14:20.62\00:14:24.43
miss that energy in the morning
you're gonna start doin this
00:14:24.46\00:14:27.26
all throughout the day. You
know eatin all the time a lot
00:14:27.30\00:14:30.13
of snacks and
stuff of that nature.
00:14:30.17\00:14:31.67
One of my friends shared this
with me. He says, there's only
00:14:31.70\00:14:34.74
one or two animals that
eat and snack all day and they
00:14:34.77\00:14:37.71
hang out on the farm. He says
if you snack all day you end up
00:14:37.74\00:14:40.74
looking like a what? Did I hear
somebody say cow? No I didn't
00:14:40.78\00:14:44.81
say it, you all said that.
But what happens is, as a result
00:14:44.85\00:14:48.28
if you look to balance your
blessings what you need to do
00:14:48.32\00:14:51.05
is have set meal
times, especially breakfast
00:14:51.09\00:14:54.22
put the gas in properly,
you know what I'm talkin about
00:14:54.26\00:14:56.99
the fuel for the day,
and then space out your meals
00:14:57.03\00:15:00.60
5-6 hours, some say 4 but
just follow the principles
00:15:00.63\00:15:04.00
there and do not eat in between
the meals. Drink what? Water
00:15:04.03\00:15:08.27
But the key is breakfast
again We need to do this.
00:15:08.30\00:15:11.37
So what're we gonna do?
We gonna add a little extra
00:15:11.41\00:15:14.11
we're gonna add some protein
to that there. We already got
00:15:14.14\00:15:17.08
the eggplant bacon and so we're
gonna do a fantastic recipe
00:15:17.11\00:15:20.88
And it's called
Scrambled T'eggs.
00:15:20.92\00:15:24.29
Y'all know what I'm
talkin about? Scrambled T'eggs
00:15:24.32\00:15:26.32
Yes, not eggs but
scrambled T'eggs. Tofu
00:15:26.35\00:15:29.12
And it's real simple. Everybody
can do this. You can knock it
00:16:07.36\00:16:10.20
out in several minutes but
I know some people like, what?
00:16:10.23\00:16:13.17
Tofu? I'm just tired of this
Tofu stuff. As a matter of fact
00:16:13.20\00:16:17.14
I just read this thing and some
body said, it's no good for you
00:16:17.17\00:16:20.38
it's causing this problem
and it's causing that problem
00:16:20.41\00:16:22.74
Well I'm going
to call a time out.
00:16:22.78\00:16:24.48
I'm done with this
'he said, she said' stuff
00:16:24.51\00:16:27.08
Everybody's sayin
somethin these days
00:16:27.12\00:16:29.02
Why don't we start studying for
ourselves because as a matter
00:16:29.05\00:16:31.39
of fact you'll find out that
soy is one of the best beans
00:16:31.42\00:16:36.22
we call it a super legume.
That means it is like fantastic
00:16:36.26\00:16:40.56
like nothing could mess
with it. This thing is amazin
00:16:40.60\00:16:43.50
And so tofu is actually pretty
good for you. But there's an old
00:16:43.53\00:16:47.97
sayin, when in doubt leave
it out and I'm gonna explain
00:16:48.00\00:16:50.14
and as we start cookin
here I'm gonna tell you a little
00:16:50.17\00:16:52.21
bit about tofu to get rid of
these myths and different items
00:16:52.24\00:16:57.31
then don't even take my word
for it go and study for yourself
00:16:57.35\00:17:00.28
But let's at least
get the recipe going
00:17:00.32\00:17:02.65
I know we'll talk a little
bit more. All you wanna do
00:17:02.68\00:17:04.99
is get your nice, good tofu
here and you wanna kinda dry
00:17:05.02\00:17:09.79
it out a little bit and you all
know how to do this. You can do
00:17:09.82\00:17:12.19
with this, you can do it with a
nice clean cloth. You wanna get
00:17:12.23\00:17:15.73
as much of the
moisture out as you see.
00:17:15.76\00:17:19.60
And this will actually cut down
your cooking time cause a lot
00:17:19.63\00:17:22.54
of the time that it takes
to make the scrambled t'eggs
00:17:22.57\00:17:25.57
Yes scrambled
t'eggs not scrambled eggs
00:17:25.61\00:17:27.81
A lot of times we've been
using the regular names and
00:17:27.84\00:17:31.35
I fool people. People
don't like to be fooled
00:17:31.38\00:17:33.31
Tell 'em it's different alright?
00:17:33.35\00:17:34.68
And what you do is you take this
and you see this is extra firm
00:17:34.72\00:17:39.15
one. Extra firm tofu, look at
that. I could even do a little
00:17:39.19\00:17:42.79
exercise with it here. I
know y'all don't want my hands
00:17:42.82\00:17:45.49
all over your food but that's
alright, this is mine today.
00:17:45.53\00:17:47.70
you make your own at home.
What you do is you take that and
00:17:47.73\00:17:51.87
you crumble it ok? We gonna
crumble it over and eventually
00:17:51.90\00:17:56.84
I'll go ahead and
turn on the fire here
00:17:56.87\00:17:59.24
So you get what you crumbled
that over so it's nice and
00:17:59.27\00:18:03.95
look at me havin a
blast, have the kids in here
00:18:03.98\00:18:06.51
They're gonna love this.
You're gonna have tofu all over
00:18:06.55\00:18:08.95
the place but that's alright,
as long as they're having fun
00:18:08.98\00:18:12.05
So you go ahead, you get
that nice and, ah here's my item
00:18:12.09\00:18:17.53
then we gonna get this fire
going because this is crucial
00:18:17.56\00:18:21.80
what you wanna do, get
the heat a little high.
00:18:21.83\00:18:24.20
If you can have a non stick pan.
If you don't have one no problem
00:18:24.23\00:18:27.50
What you do if you don't have
that non stick pan, you just
00:18:27.54\00:18:29.80
go ahead and take that nice
little oil, this is olive oil
00:18:29.84\00:18:33.11
you put that right there
00:18:33.14\00:18:34.94
uh you get that rolling. What
you want is to get the excess
00:18:35.84\00:18:40.05
moisture out. Now because I've
squeezed, as you see, most of
00:18:40.08\00:18:43.52
that liquid out you don't have
to worry about it, this is gonna
00:18:43.55\00:18:46.89
actually cook pretty fast. Who
knows maybe even before we're
00:18:46.92\00:18:49.69
done. But I already did one
in advance for you all, so you
00:18:49.72\00:18:52.69
gonna get that goin. Then a
quick little tip that we can
00:18:52.73\00:18:56.30
start usin, as you know, people
will say, well tofu don't have
00:18:56.33\00:19:00.17
no taste. Well obviously it's
just tofu. But that's actually
00:19:00.20\00:19:04.11
a good thing. Why
is that a good thing?
00:19:04.14\00:19:05.64
Because you could give
it whatever flavor you want.
00:19:05.67\00:19:08.21
If you know a lot
of foods that we use
00:19:08.24\00:19:10.68
they have their own flavor
and now you don't have to worry
00:19:10.71\00:19:14.02
about this because if you want
something sweet, if you want
00:19:14.05\00:19:16.89
something savory, if you
like it this way or that way
00:19:16.92\00:19:19.39
Tofu is fantastic because
it takes on whatever flavor
00:19:19.42\00:19:22.76
you give it. And so what
we gonna do, because it takes
00:19:22.79\00:19:27.36
a little time to, how can
I put it? Because it takes a
00:19:27.40\00:19:31.97
little time to take that flavor
what you gonna do is just add
00:19:32.00\00:19:36.10
a little pinch of salt ok,
so I'm gonna put a pinch of salt
00:19:36.14\00:19:38.87
just to get that going so it
can soak and saturate into it.
00:19:38.91\00:19:43.48
I know I could give you, say 1
teaspoon or whatever, we already
00:19:43.51\00:19:46.38
said how much it needs
but just get that going early
00:19:46.41\00:19:50.79
ok? You wanna get that goin
early so it can start to soak in
00:19:50.82\00:19:55.19
Another thing that we
wanna do gettin it rolling early
00:19:55.22\00:19:58.16
is the other seasonings,
ok? What we've done is
00:19:58.19\00:20:02.26
I've just taken all the
seasonings and just mixed it all
00:20:02.30\00:20:04.97
up in advance. You
could separate seasonings
00:20:05.00\00:20:08.74
But what happens is, how can
I put it, if you don't add it
00:20:08.77\00:20:13.88
properly you're gonna get like
a bunch of nutritional yeast
00:20:13.91\00:20:16.61
in one spot. So I like to
mix all of my dry ingredients up
00:20:16.64\00:20:20.78
first, these are dry ingredients
so I mix that up, if you notice
00:20:20.82\00:20:24.69
I went ahead and left out the
turmeric cause I wanna put that
00:20:24.72\00:20:28.16
in early so I can get that color
00:20:28.19\00:20:30.36
Here's a quick little
item if you noticed. Sometimes
00:20:30.39\00:20:33.09
you know you're
rushin and you're cookin and
00:20:33.13\00:20:36.20
it's like the, the, the
air is like comin up and the
00:20:36.23\00:20:41.10
moisture is comin up, so
here's a little quick thing I do
00:20:41.14\00:20:43.54
when I add it I just go
around and spin a little bit
00:20:43.57\00:20:46.61
now why am I doin that? Because
when the humidity gets in
00:20:46.64\00:20:51.78
so your bottle you know
next time you go back for the
00:20:51.81\00:20:54.88
turmeric or you go back for the
salt it's all stuck and you're
00:20:54.92\00:20:57.62
like bangin it and doing all
these crazy stuff. It's because
00:20:57.65\00:21:00.32
that air went in. So as I moved
around now don't do this at home
00:21:00.36\00:21:03.53
but it's just a
little thing that I do.
00:21:03.56\00:21:05.59
Quick fun, a little
item that you can try as well
00:21:05.63\00:21:08.73
Just make sure the kids
are not around. You don't wanna
00:21:08.76\00:21:10.50
knock anybody and
burn them neither.
00:21:10.53\00:21:13.37
So get that going.
00:21:13.40\00:21:15.94
As you see there this
is gonna be delicious.
00:21:17.27\00:21:20.24
And then you take the
rest of the dry ingredients
00:21:20.28\00:21:23.04
and we're gonna add that. As a
matter of fact these ingredients
00:21:24.88\00:21:28.72
are so good. I'm
gonna put some in right now
00:21:28.75\00:21:30.82
Cause I'm gonna add, I
want the onion and bell peppers
00:21:31.55\00:21:35.72
to get in there nicely. As you
see it's quite a bit, I'm not
00:21:35.76\00:21:38.16
actually gonna put all of it
00:21:38.19\00:21:39.53
You don't have to. You can eve
save that. What that basically
00:21:40.13\00:21:43.73
that nice little
seasoning that we just did there
00:21:43.77\00:21:45.77
that's basically almost
chicken style seasoning.
00:21:45.80\00:21:49.14
So you can keep some of
that. Then I'm gonna add onion
00:21:50.34\00:21:54.18
and enjoy it. As a matter
of fact add garlic if you want
00:21:54.21\00:21:57.85
red bell peppers,
really simple, really easy.
00:21:57.88\00:22:02.48
and you get that goin there.
Now the key is you have to let
00:22:03.45\00:22:06.32
this dry out quite a bit ok?
So I'm gonna mix it there nicely
00:22:06.35\00:22:10.19
And you have to keep
an eye on it of course
00:22:10.23\00:22:12.86
Then I'm gonna add a
little extra seasoning there
00:22:12.89\00:22:16.23
Now this is my scrambled t'eggs.
Let's get back to this whole
00:22:18.13\00:22:22.00
subject of the tofu and stuff
00:22:22.04\00:22:25.24
Lot of people crying and
complaining, ah the tofu has
00:22:25.27\00:22:28.74
this related to female problems
it's worsening menopause
00:22:28.78\00:22:34.32
it's causing
this or causing that.
00:22:34.35\00:22:36.25
Watch this. Lots of times I
have to watch out for different
00:22:37.29\00:22:39.65
studies because the people that
they're studying yeah they gave
00:22:39.69\00:22:42.42
them tofu but they're also
eatin other animal products
00:22:42.46\00:22:44.79
which have hormones in it as
well, the estrogen and different
00:22:44.83\00:22:48.26
items of that nature. But also
let's look at what its actually
00:22:48.30\00:22:52.77
good for. It's good for female
situations such as menopause
00:22:52.80\00:22:59.17
and the mensies, you know the
little monthly situation there
00:22:59.21\00:23:03.41
it's good for the males as well
for the prostate, good for heart
00:23:03.45\00:23:07.88
helps a person with arterio
sclerosis, high cholesterol
00:23:07.92\00:23:13.59
So this is good for all of those
also good for the little ones
00:23:13.62\00:23:18.63
as well but however, you don't
want to use soy milk or somethin
00:23:18.66\00:23:21.46
of that nature in place of
formula. Lot of people are doin
00:23:21.50\00:23:25.40
that. The best formula is
one from the Lord, you know
00:23:25.43\00:23:28.47
you know what I'm talkin
about, cover up of course
00:23:28.50\00:23:30.71
that's the best formula a child
can have. But it's good for all
00:23:30.74\00:23:35.41
these items. But what we don't
wanna do is to say, Oh it's good
00:23:35.44\00:23:38.45
for everything. Let's look
at some of the drawbacks it may
00:23:38.48\00:23:40.68
have. Because of its protein
content different items of that
00:23:40.72\00:23:44.42
nature, a person who has gout
they may not want to use excess
00:23:44.45\00:23:48.46
amount of soy or tofu because of
uric acid that can be built up.
00:23:48.49\00:23:53.63
What else maybe a drawback?
Sometimes people may have a
00:23:53.66\00:23:58.83
little intestinal situation,
you have a little flammable
00:23:58.87\00:24:02.17
situation happening, you
know I'm talkin about flatulence
00:24:02.20\00:24:05.14
So some people may find that
if they use soy or tofu it may
00:24:05.17\00:24:08.34
cause that problem. So this
is true. What else could be, it
00:24:08.38\00:24:12.21
doesn't have Vitamin B12, let's
see that usually comes from
00:24:12.25\00:24:15.55
animal products, we're a kind of
animal family. So we have micro
00:24:15.58\00:24:18.95
organisms that produce it in
our oral cavity, in our mouth
00:24:18.99\00:24:21.69
and our digestive tract. So
that's pretty neat. You can get
00:24:21.72\00:24:25.86
that from somewhere else.
Vitamin C. Hello I just put
00:24:25.89\00:24:28.56
some red bell peppers in here.
Red bell peppers have up to four
00:24:28.60\00:24:31.97
times the amount of Vitamin
C than an orange. So that's
00:24:32.00\00:24:35.04
covered as well. But many
people say, soy causes allergies
00:24:35.07\00:24:39.64
Let me explain this whole
allergy situation real quick
00:24:39.67\00:24:43.91
Now what happens is I'm gonna
lower down the flame just a bit
00:24:43.95\00:24:48.72
cause it's cooking nicely here
for me. What happens with that
00:24:48.75\00:24:53.02
this is how allergies in general
develop. You bring in a foreign
00:24:53.99\00:24:57.79
item and the body develops
what is known as immuno globulin
00:24:57.83\00:25:03.00
ok, and so it attaches to that
and the next time it sees it
00:25:03.03\00:25:06.53
you have an inflammatory
response, you get congested
00:25:06.57\00:25:09.14
you break out in hives and items
of that nature. Which nut most
00:25:09.17\00:25:13.17
people have an allergy
to? Peanuts, right? Ok.
00:25:13.21\00:25:16.21
Peanuts are like, some people
the allergy is so bad all they
00:25:16.24\00:25:20.22
have to do is smell it
and they're like breakin out
00:25:20.25\00:25:23.55
sometimes they have a really
bad they have anaphylaxic shock
00:25:23.59\00:25:26.99
and they have to get the epi-pen
matter of fact one time I was
00:25:27.02\00:25:28.96
flyin from Johannesburg back
to Atlanta, Georgia and we got
00:25:28.99\00:25:32.79
on the plane, everybody was
sittin down in the big jumbo jet
00:25:32.83\00:25:36.16
and the flight attendant
said, hey everybody on the plane
00:25:36.20\00:25:40.64
somebody seated in 32C,
obviously we don't know who,
00:25:40.67\00:25:44.67
that is so everybody looked
back, has allergy to peanuts
00:25:44.71\00:25:49.18
so what we gonna do,
every body 5-10 rows around them
00:25:49.21\00:25:53.08
5-10 rows around them,
we're not gonna allow you to use
00:25:53.11\00:25:55.78
peanuts ok? Look at that. Just
take a quick look, turnin nice
00:25:55.82\00:25:59.55
and brown there and it's
startin to cook properly ok
00:25:59.59\00:26:05.33
So they said, the flight
attendant got on, so that person
00:26:05.36\00:26:09.03
in 32C has peanut allergy so
everybody 5-10 rows around them
00:26:09.06\00:26:13.17
don't use it. Now why did
they say 5-10 rows because that
00:26:13.20\00:26:16.20
person probably has peanut
allergies so bad that if they
00:26:16.24\00:26:18.84
just smell it
they're in trouble.
00:26:18.87\00:26:20.21
So then everybody's click.
Ok poor person. Now we can't eat
00:26:20.24\00:26:24.15
peanuts in that area,
right? Here's the funniest thing
00:26:24.18\00:26:26.51
The flight attendant got
back on the mic, check this out
00:26:26.55\00:26:30.69
for 10-12 hours we're gonna be
over the water, so you know what
00:26:30.72\00:26:35.19
we can't do emergency landing
peanuts are banned on the plane
00:26:35.22\00:26:39.13
Everybody's like, oh man, no
peanuts cause we're on the plane
00:26:39.16\00:26:42.10
for 15 hours right? So here's
the thing that came to my mind
00:26:42.13\00:26:45.67
The reason why a lot of people
have peanut allergy is because
00:26:45.70\00:26:48.50
they have been overexposed
to peanuts back in the day when
00:26:48.54\00:26:52.11
they were doin candy bars
they either buy peanuts for
00:26:52.14\00:26:54.68
a dollar a pound or they can
use almonds for $7.99 a pound
00:26:54.71\00:26:58.85
which did they use? Peanuts.
Same thing with olive oil
00:26:58.88\00:27:01.65
They could use olive oil
for $10 an ounce or peanut oil
00:27:01.68\00:27:05.49
for 50 cents an ounce. Watch
closely. This is what happened
00:27:05.52\00:27:08.52
with tofu or soy. They find out
soy is so good that they use it
00:27:08.56\00:27:13.36
in everything. And now people
are startin to develop allergy
00:27:13.40\00:27:15.96
to it. Let me explain. You wake
up in the morning you have bread
00:27:16.00\00:27:18.80
with what kind of butter
do you put on it? Soy butter
00:27:18.83\00:27:21.30
You have some scrambled t'eggs
made from tofu, then you take
00:27:21.34\00:27:24.51
a smoothie made from soy, then
you go to work and have a what
00:27:24.54\00:27:28.51
a soy burger, what kinda cheese
do you put on that, soy cheese
00:27:28.54\00:27:30.88
what kinda
mayonnaise, soy mayonnaise
00:27:30.91\00:27:32.25
You come home and
you have rice with what?
00:27:32.28\00:27:35.18
soy chunks. And then you
finish off with a scoop of what?
00:27:35.22\00:27:38.92
Scoop of soy ice cream. So
your body says, too much what?
00:27:38.95\00:27:42.99
Soy, I don't want anymore
00:27:43.02\00:27:44.56
So what we need to do is
find a balance and moderation
00:27:44.59\00:27:47.50
in everything. And I have a nice
finished product for you all
00:27:47.53\00:27:50.70
And this is done and I
know you all will enjoy
00:27:50.73\00:27:53.67
some nice scrambled
t'eggs. Enjoy, give it a try
00:27:53.70\00:27:57.41
and make sure you eat
your breakfast every day.
