Have you ever wondered exactly
how to prepare healthy food that
00:00:01.33\00:00:04.23
actually tastes good. Well
stay tuned while Evita Tezeno
00:00:04.27\00:00:07.87
and yours truly, Nyse Collins,
show you just how to do it
00:00:07.90\00:00:10.81
and give you something
better. A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:10.87\00:00:14.04
Welcome to A Taste of
Paradise My name is Evita Tezeno
00:00:29.59\00:00:34.36
And today we're going to
be making an Eggplant Bacon
00:00:34.40\00:00:40.87
And I have a special
guest today. I have my friend
00:00:40.90\00:00:44.84
Yvonne Lewis. Hey
Evita, Hi, how you doing?
00:00:44.87\00:00:49.18
I'm so glad to be here. I'm
not the queen of the kitchen ok
00:00:50.18\00:00:53.28
Ok. So to observe how you do
the raw food thing, I'm excited.
00:00:53.35\00:00:58.09
And I bought some
eggplant recently. Really?
00:00:58.12\00:01:01.42
And I don't know what
to do with it. So show me.
00:01:01.46\00:01:03.26
Well a lot of people don't
know what to do with eggplant
00:01:03.29\00:01:06.03
So this is a quick and easy way
to get eggplant in your diet.
00:01:06.06\00:01:11.43
Because you know I
teach "Eat the Rainbow"
00:01:11.47\00:01:15.14
So here you get a
chance to eat a purple item
00:01:15.17\00:01:19.24
Purple food item.
What does that do?
00:01:19.27\00:01:21.41
It has Vitamin E, Vitamin K
00:01:23.18\00:01:27.68
And also it has
the white flesh as well
00:01:27.72\00:01:32.09
It has Vitamin C in it. Oh good!
00:01:32.12\00:01:35.86
We're going to start
off by peeling our eggplant
00:01:35.89\00:01:41.10
And do you always peel it or...
00:01:41.13\00:01:44.00
do you sometimes
leave the peel in on it?
00:01:44.03\00:01:46.20
When you're doing raw you
have to peel it because it gets
00:01:46.23\00:01:49.47
like leather. Oh ok. Because
we're gonna dehydrate the recipe
00:01:49.50\00:01:53.04
So you have to peel it in
order to use the flesh inside
00:01:53.07\00:01:58.78
It's kind of a stubborn
thing to peel. So we gonna just
00:01:58.81\00:02:05.09
peel it like so.
00:02:05.12\00:02:08.72
Is there anything you do
with the peel or discard it?
00:02:08.76\00:02:12.06
Just throw it away. Oh ok.
00:02:12.09\00:02:13.43
Yeah, there's nothing
you can do with the peel.
00:02:13.50\00:02:15.70
So we gonna, we're almost done
peeling it and we gonna take
00:02:17.83\00:02:21.44
the top of it off.
We're gonna discard that.
00:02:21.47\00:02:25.17
And we're using the tool,
this is called the Mandolin
00:02:25.21\00:02:30.61
Ah. Oh I've
seen you use it. Yes.
00:02:30.65\00:02:32.85
And it gives you even slices.
00:02:33.68\00:02:38.75
And you just do it like that
and you see the slices there?
00:02:44.19\00:02:47.13
Yeah. This is pretty amazing.
00:02:47.20\00:02:49.16
This eggplant is a
little stubborn. Uh huh.
00:02:51.83\00:02:55.17
You've got to coax it along.
00:02:55.20\00:02:57.57
I don't know recently I've been
kinda craving eggplant. Really?
00:03:01.84\00:03:05.58
Yeah I love it, and
cook some with onions, garlic
00:03:05.61\00:03:11.49
Oh yeah. I love that.
00:03:11.52\00:03:14.96
And of course you
can make a vegan cheese
00:03:16.29\00:03:18.76
and eggplant parmesan. Of
course we're talking raw now
00:03:18.79\00:03:21.76
Yes, let me go back to raw
00:03:21.80\00:03:24.13
Let's come back to raw please.
00:03:24.17\00:03:26.43
Well we have
our eggplant. Uh huh
00:03:27.00\00:03:29.30
And it's real
thin. It's very thin.
00:03:29.34\00:03:32.31
And you know I
forgot my cutting board
00:03:33.44\00:03:38.35
So I'm gonna use
this. Sure, sure.
00:03:38.38\00:03:42.68
So we have to
improvise. We're gonna improvise
00:03:42.72\00:03:46.72
We're going to use the container
we're going to marinate it in
00:03:46.76\00:03:52.76
Okay. So we just take
the eggplant and we stack it
00:03:52.79\00:03:57.40
and we cut it in halves.
00:03:57.43\00:03:59.03
Because we want
it to resemble bacon.
00:03:59.07\00:04:01.97
Oh ok. Yeah. We
want it to resemble it.
00:04:02.00\00:04:05.61
So we put the eggplant in here
00:04:05.64\00:04:09.11
And you said bacon,
you have a recipe for this?
00:04:09.14\00:04:12.08
Oh yes. The ingredients
for the eggplant bacon
00:04:12.11\00:04:15.18
Now we're gonna use my
favorite tool the Vitamix
00:04:45.58\00:04:48.75
If you don't have a
Vitamix you can use a blender
00:04:48.78\00:04:53.22
but you have to
blend it a little longer
00:04:53.25\00:04:56.02
Now the chipotle
pepper, what does that do?
00:05:00.23\00:05:02.26
Does it make it hot, or
It makes it hot and smoky
00:05:02.30\00:05:06.00
Oh. This is uh...because
I use some ingredients
00:05:06.03\00:05:10.91
that are not raw, this is one
of the ingredients that is not
00:05:10.94\00:05:14.41
This is a smoked,
red jalapeno pepper.
00:05:14.44\00:05:17.65
And it has been smoked and dried
00:05:19.11\00:05:21.78
I'm going to salivate (laughter)
00:05:21.82\00:05:24.22
We should get a
tissue or something...
00:05:25.69\00:05:28.56
And we have maple syrup and this
gives it a kinda sweet taste
00:05:28.59\00:05:33.93
Right. So you have the
sweet smoky thing going on?
00:05:34.00\00:05:37.03
Sweet and salty, just like bacon
00:05:37.07\00:05:40.40
Ok, ok. But an
animal didn't have to die.
00:05:40.44\00:05:43.41
And we use this chipotle pepper
00:05:46.01\00:05:49.81
Can you get that
from just a regular store?
00:05:49.84\00:05:52.38
Yes you could get dried chipotle
peppers from a regular store
00:05:52.41\00:05:56.35
We have olive oil
00:05:57.59\00:05:59.79
This is cumin, mmm
00:06:01.39\00:06:03.56
smoked paprika
00:06:09.13\00:06:11.60
And garlic
00:06:11.63\00:06:14.04
Can't forget the garlic, uh huh
00:06:14.07\00:06:15.97
It's a great, great ingredient
00:06:16.00\00:06:20.88
Now this is a real quick
recipe. You see we just blend it
00:06:33.09\00:06:36.93
You just pour the marinade over
00:06:36.96\00:06:41.30
And I always like to
get my fingers in the food
00:06:43.53\00:06:47.87
So you want to make
sure it's all distributed
00:06:47.90\00:06:54.24
Just in case the viewers don't
know, you always wash your hands
00:06:55.94\00:06:59.85
Yes, you always wash your hands
00:06:59.88\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\00:07:13.53
I guess you can use some tongs
if you don't wanna put your hand
00:07:13.56\00:07:18.20
But you know I love to
put my hands in the food.
00:07:18.23\00:07:22.20
So you want to make sure that
you marinate, you cover every
00:07:22.24\00:07:28.44
slice with the chipotle mixture
00:07:28.48\00:07:33.15
and you want to cover this and
put it in the fridge overnight
00:07:34.52\00:07:37.22
So good right now. Yes, okay
00:07:37.29\00:07:39.69
You stick this in
the fridge overnight
00:07:39.72\00:07:44.46
The next day you
get a dehydrator sheet
00:07:49.03\00:07:54.20
and then you lay,
one strip at a time. Okay
00:07:54.24\00:07:58.94
on the dehydrator sheet. You
want to dehydrate it overnight
00:07:58.97\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
00:08:10.82\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\00:08:23.30
morning, right before you
go to work you can stick this
00:08:23.37\00:08:26.60
in the dehydrator. Ok. And
it can dehydrate all day while
00:08:26.63\00:08:30.31
you're at work. Ok,
good. If you can you do that
00:08:30.34\00:08:33.04
Because the energy with
the dehydrator is very low
00:08:33.07\00:08:36.31
Very very low. The
energy usage is very low.
00:08:36.34\00:08:40.12
And it doesn't pull
a lot of energy. Okay
00:08:41.15\00:08:43.99
So after it has been
dehydrating overnight
00:08:44.02\00:08:46.69
Look at that! Does
that look like it or what?
00:08:47.76\00:08:51.29
Okay. Can you taste this?
00:08:52.09\00:08:54.10
Now, come on you know me
You know I do want to taste
00:08:54.20\00:08:57.97
Here you go, taste it, taste it
00:08:58.00\00:08:59.63
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\00:09:31.83
it doesn't have to be
refrigerated. So you could put
00:09:31.87\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\00:09:41.14
that the crew, after we do all
these segments the crew comes in
00:09:41.18\00:09:46.15
alright so I'm
getting first dibs at this.
00:09:46.18\00:09:48.45
Laughter. I just
want the crew to know.
00:09:48.48\00:09:50.72
I get first dibs.
00:09:50.79\00:09:52.49
Oh this is so good.
I want another piece.
00:09:52.52\00:09:55.76
I've made a sandwich. In
one of our previous episodes
00:09:57.26\00:10:01.23
I made some raw bread
00:10:01.26\00:10:03.20
and so I made it
ELT instead of BLT
00:10:03.23\00:10:07.20
I love it, I love it. An ELT
00:10:07.24\00:10:09.97
Oh that is so neat.
You can put a cashew mayo
00:10:10.01\00:10:14.98
on here, or you could put some
raw cheese that I made in the
00:10:15.01\00:10:18.55
previous episode
and you have a sandwich.
00:10:18.58\00:10:21.52
That's awesome.
This is all plant based
00:10:21.55\00:10:24.25
Gluten free and it's delicious
00:10:24.29\00:10:28.96
It's delicious. I'm
telling you it's delicious.
00:10:28.99\00:10:32.36
I know, I'm so excited
00:10:33.66\00:10:35.96
Oh yeah, me too. Me too.
00:10:36.00\00:10:37.60
Well thank you
Evita for showing me this.
00:10:37.63\00:10:39.73
Well thank you for
coming to help me. This is good
00:10:39.77\00:10:41.70
This is Evita Tezeno.
Remember to live life fresh!
00:10:42.97\00:10:48.24
Breakfast, never
leave home without it.
00:10:55.88\00:10:59.32
You know there's a lot
of credit cards out there
00:10:59.35\00:11:01.06
they say you
shouldn't leave without them
00:11:01.09\00:11:02.72
That's maybe because they want
you to eat breakfast out there
00:11:02.76\00:11:05.09
and use your money.
But you should eat at home
00:11:05.13\00:11:07.60
Breakfast is the most
important meal of the day.
00:11:07.66\00:11:10.33
We already know that.
It's nothing new but many times
00:11:10.37\00:11:12.87
what do we do? We skip breakfast
and as a result we suffer
00:11:12.90\00:11:16.91
throughout the day. So none of
that anymore. Today we gonna do
00:11:16.97\00:11:19.57
something special.
You've already seen a fantastic
00:11:19.61\00:11:21.98
recipe. No more of this
you need to go and buy bacon
00:11:22.01\00:11:26.45
some use Turkey Bacon I
know what you talkin about
00:11:26.48\00:11:28.92
But today we gonna do something
special to add on to that
00:11:28.95\00:11:32.29
Evita did the ELT or the
bacon the eggplant bacon. Now we
00:11:32.79\00:11:40.16
gonna go ahead. You just can't
have the bacon alone, you need
00:11:40.20\00:11:42.50
some eggs to go along with that
00:11:42.53\00:11:43.90
So we have a special recipe.
But let me get back to this
00:11:43.93\00:11:46.33
breakfast thing. Because this
is crucial, crucial, crucial
00:11:46.37\00:11:49.10
A lot of times we wonder why
we can't balance our blessing
00:11:49.14\00:11:53.81
Y'all know what that means.
We don't say nobody is fat
00:11:53.84\00:11:56.28
or skinny. Some are over blessed
and some are under blessed
00:11:56.31\00:11:59.11
And we try this diet and
we're good for two weeks and we
00:11:59.15\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\00:12:10.26
and we do that and
nothing seems to work.
00:12:10.33\00:12:12.43
Well you know what
the information is free
00:12:12.46\00:12:14.86
Like I said you already know it.
00:12:14.93\00:12:16.23
If you just
start having breakfast
00:12:16.26\00:12:19.00
Everything will be
added or taken away from you
00:12:19.03\00:12:23.37
You know what I'm
talkin about, right?
00:12:23.41\00:12:24.74
So what we wanna do is focus
on that and why is breakfast
00:12:24.77\00:12:27.91
so crucial. It's almost
like when you're about to drive
00:12:27.94\00:12:30.81
your car to work.
Let's say the car is on empty
00:12:30.85\00:12:34.98
When do you put gas in the
car? Do you put it when you
00:12:35.02\00:12:37.82
get to work or do you
put it on your way to work?
00:12:37.85\00:12:41.72
Now everybody's like come
on Nyse are you kidding me
00:12:41.76\00:12:43.93
what kinda question is that?
It's like the worst question
00:12:43.99\00:12:45.53
around town. Because if we don't
put it in on our way there, we
00:12:45.56\00:12:49.83
may never make it there.
Hello. That means we're actually
00:12:49.86\00:12:53.40
taking better care of our
cars then we're taking care of
00:12:53.47\00:12:56.37
this body. At least if I go,
if I don't put gas in the car
00:12:56.40\00:13:00.98
y'know some of y'all. You live
kinda on that E line whatever
00:13:01.01\00:13:05.38
and I'm talkin about
myself to be honest with you
00:13:05.41\00:13:07.32
I just keep drivin. For some
reason I think like I'm just
00:13:07.35\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\00:13:19.63
We'll call up Roadside Service
or something of that nature
00:13:19.66\00:13:22.66
or your friend, your
buddy. Hey come and get me.
00:13:22.70\00:13:24.87
Yes they will be inconvenienced
a little bit but you'll get
00:13:24.90\00:13:27.50
right back and rollin. Now
let me tell you something here
00:13:27.54\00:13:30.37
When this runs out of gas
there's no call roadside service
00:13:30.41\00:13:35.38
call a friend
anymore. It's call 911.
00:13:35.41\00:13:39.18
And unfortunately that
body doesn't work like the car
00:13:39.21\00:13:43.75
Let's say the car was messed up
00:13:43.79\00:13:45.52
You can always buy
another one and replace it.
00:13:45.55\00:13:47.42
But this here, you
can't buy another one.
00:13:47.46\00:13:49.86
It's already been paid for you.
But what we need to do is take
00:13:49.89\00:13:52.83
care of it. And how do
we do that? Let's focus
00:13:52.86\00:13:56.36
You know how we're like
supposed to spend time with God
00:13:56.40\00:13:58.27
every morning? Spiritual
food is the most important thing
00:13:58.30\00:14:00.87
If you don't do that what's
gonna happen? You find yourself
00:14:00.94\00:14:03.07
angry at people, no patience,
no love or anything of that
00:14:03.10\00:14:05.74
nature. It's the same thing
with breakfast. You miss out on
00:14:05.77\00:14:08.08
on breakfast and all of a sudden
donuts seem like the best thing
00:14:08.11\00:14:11.18
around town. You miss breakfast
you're livin by the vending
00:14:11.21\00:14:14.02
machine. You miss breakfast,
you're stopping by every
00:14:14.05\00:14:15.72
fast food spot on the road.
And so as a result we need to
00:14:15.75\00:14:20.56
we need to focus on this.
Also what happens because you
00:14:20.59\00:14:24.39
miss that energy in the morning
you're gonna start doin this
00:14:24.43\00:14:27.23
all throughout the day. You
know eatin all the time a lot
00:14:27.30\00:14:30.07
of snacks and
stuff of that nature.
00:14:30.13\00:14:31.60
One of my friends shared this
with me. He says, there's only
00:14:31.63\00:14:34.67
one or two animals that
eat and snack all day and they
00:14:34.70\00:14:37.64
hang out on the farm. He says
if you snack all day you end up
00:14:37.67\00:14:40.68
looking like a what? Did I hear
somebody say cow? No I didn't
00:14:40.74\00:14:44.75
say it, you all said that.
But what happens is, as a result
00:14:44.78\00:14:48.22
if you look to balance your
blessings what you need to do
00:14:48.25\00:14:50.99
is have set meal
times, especially breakfast
00:14:51.02\00:14:54.16
put the gas in properly,
you know what I'm talkin about
00:14:54.22\00:14:56.93
the fuel for the day,
and then space out your meals
00:14:56.99\00:15:00.63
5-6 hours, some say 4 but
just follow the principles
00:15:00.66\00:15:03.97
there and do not eat in between
the meals. Drink what? Water
00:15:04.00\00:15:08.24
But the key is breakfast
again We need to do this.
00:15:08.27\00:15:11.34
So what're we gonna do?
We gonna add a little extra
00:15:11.37\00:15:14.08
we're gonna add some protein
to that there. We already got
00:15:14.11\00:15:17.05
the eggplant bacon and so we're
gonna do a fantastic recipe
00:15:17.08\00:15:20.85
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\00:15:26.29
Yes, not eggs but
scrambled T'eggs. Tofu
00:15:26.32\00:15:29.09
And it's real simple. Everybody
can do this. You can knock it
00:16:07.36\00:16:10.17
out in several minutes but
I know some people like, what?
00:16:10.20\00:16:13.13
Tofu? I'm just tired of this
Tofu stuff. As a matter of fact
00:16:13.17\00:16:17.11
I just read this thing and some
body said, it's no good for you
00:16:17.14\00:16:20.38
it's causing this problem
and it's causing that problem
00:16:20.41\00:16:22.71
Well I'm going
to call a time out.
00:16:22.74\00:16:24.45
I'm done with this
'he said, she said' stuff
00:16:24.48\00:16:27.05
Everybody's sayin
somethin these days
00:16:27.12\00:16:28.98
Why don't we start studying for
ourselves because as a matter
00:16:29.02\00:16:31.35
of fact you'll find out that
soy is one of the best beans
00:16:31.39\00:16:36.19
we call it a super legume.
That means it is like fantastic
00:16:36.22\00:16:40.53
like nothing could mess
with it. This thing is amazin
00:16:40.60\00:16:43.43
And so tofu is actually pretty
good for you. But there's an old
00:16:43.47\00:16:47.90
sayin, when in doubt leave
it out and I'm gonna explain
00:16:47.94\00:16:50.07
and as we start cookin
here I'm gonna tell you a little
00:16:50.11\00:16:52.14
bit about tofu to get rid of
these myths and different items
00:16:52.17\00:16:57.25
then don't even take my word
for it go and study for yourself
00:16:57.31\00:17:00.28
But let's at least
get the recipe going
00:17:00.35\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\00:17:15.70
as much of the
moisture out as you see.
00:17:15.73\00:17:19.57
And this will actually cut down
your cooking time cause a lot
00:17:19.60\00:17:22.50
of the time that it takes
to make the scrambled t'eggs
00:17:22.54\00:17:25.54
Yes scrambled
t'eggs not scrambled eggs
00:17:25.57\00:17:27.78
A lot of times we've been
using the regular names and
00:17:27.81\00:17:31.31
I fool people. People
don't like to be fooled
00:17:31.35\00:17:33.28
Tell 'em it's different alright?
00:17:33.31\00:17:34.65
And what you do is you take this
and you see this is extra firm
00:17:34.68\00:17:39.12
one. Extra firm tofu, look at
that. I could even do a little
00:17:39.15\00:17:42.76
exercise with it here. I
know y'all don't want my hands
00:17:42.79\00:17:45.46
all over your food but that's
alright, this is mine today.
00:17:45.49\00:17:47.66
you make your own at home.
What you do is you take that and
00:17:47.66\00:17:51.80
you crumble it ok? We gonna
crumble it over and eventually
00:17:51.83\00:17:56.77
I'll go ahead and
turn on the fire here
00:17:56.81\00:17:59.17
So you get what you crumbled
that over so it's nice and
00:17:59.21\00:18:03.98
look at me havin a
blast, have the kids in here
00:18:04.01\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\00:18:17.56
then we gonna get this fire
going because this is crucial
00:18:17.59\00:18:21.76
what you wanna do, get
the heat a little high.
00:18:21.80\00:18:24.17
If you can have a non stick pan.
If you don't have one no problem
00:18:24.20\00:18:27.47
What you do if you don't have
that non stick pan, you just
00:18:27.54\00:18:29.77
go ahead and take that nice
little oil, this is olive oil
00:18:29.80\00:18:33.07
you put that right there
00:18:33.11\00:18:34.91
uh you get that rolling. What
you want is to get the excess
00:18:35.81\00:18:40.02
moisture out. Now because I've
squeezed, as you see, most of
00:18:40.05\00:18:43.49
that liquid out you don't have
to worry about it, this is gonna
00:18:43.52\00:18:46.86
actually cook pretty fast. Who
knows maybe even before we're
00:18:46.89\00:18:49.66
done. But I already did one
in advance for you all, so you
00:18:49.69\00:18:52.66
gonna get that goin. Then a
quick little tip that we can
00:18:52.69\00:18:56.23
start usin, as you know, people
will say, well tofu don't have
00:18:56.26\00:19:00.17
no taste. Well obviously it's
just tofu. But that's actually
00:19:00.20\00:19:04.14
a good thing. Why
is that a good thing?
00:19:04.17\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\00:19:14.05
about this because if you want
something sweet, if you want
00:19:14.08\00:19:16.92
something savory, if you
like it this way or that way
00:19:16.95\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\00:19:31.93
little time to take that flavor
what you gonna do is just add
00:19:31.97\00:19:36.07
a little pinch of salt ok,
so I'm gonna put a pinch of salt
00:19:36.10\00:19:38.84
just to get that going so it
can soak and saturate into it.
00:19:38.87\00:19:43.45
I know I could give you, say 1
teaspoon or whatever, we already
00:19:43.48\00:19:46.35
said how much it needs
but just get that going early
00:19:46.38\00:19:50.79
ok? You wanna get that goin
early so it can start to soak in
00:19:50.82\00:19:55.16
Another thing that we
wanna do gettin it rolling early
00:19:55.19\00:19:58.13
is the other seasonings,
ok? What we've done is
00:19:58.16\00:20:02.20
I've just taken all the
seasonings and just mixed it all
00:20:02.23\00:20:04.90
up in advance. You
could separate seasonings
00:20:04.93\00:20:08.67
But what happens is, how can
I put it, if you don't add it
00:20:08.70\00:20:13.84
properly you're gonna get like
a bunch of nutritional yeast
00:20:13.88\00:20:16.54
in one spot. So I like to
mix all of my dry ingredients up
00:20:16.58\00:20:20.72
first, these are dry ingredients
so I mix that up, if you notice
00:20:20.78\00:20:24.62
I went ahead and left out the
turmeric cause I wanna put that
00:20:24.65\00:20:28.09
in early so I can get that color
00:20:28.12\00:20:30.29
Here's a quick little
item if you noticed. Sometimes
00:20:30.33\00:20:33.03
you know you're
rushin and you're cookin and
00:20:33.06\00:20:36.10
it's like the, the, the
air is like comin up and the
00:20:36.13\00:20:41.00
moisture is comin up, so
here's a little quick thing I do
00:20:41.04\00:20:43.44
when I add it I just go
around and spin a little bit
00:20:43.47\00:20:46.51
now why am I doin that? Because
when the humidity gets in
00:20:46.54\00:20:51.68
so your bottle you know
next time you go back for the
00:20:51.71\00:20:54.78
turmeric or you go back for the
salt it's all stuck and you're
00:20:54.82\00:20:57.52
like bangin it and doing all
these crazy stuff. It's because
00:20:57.55\00:21:00.29
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\00:21:05.56
Quick fun, a little
item that you can try as well
00:21:05.59\00:21:08.66
Just make sure the kids
are not around. You don't wanna
00:21:08.70\00:21:10.43
knock anybody and
burn them neither.
00:21:10.47\00:21:13.30
So get that going.
00:21:13.34\00:21:15.87
As you see there this
is gonna be delicious.
00:21:17.21\00:21:20.18
And then you take the
rest of the dry ingredients
00:21:20.24\00:21:22.98
and we're gonna add that. As a
matter of fact these ingredients
00:21:24.81\00:21:28.65
are so good. I'm
gonna put some in right now
00:21:28.68\00:21:30.75
Cause I'm gonna add, I
want the onion and bell peppers
00:21:31.49\00:21:35.66
to get in there nicely. As you
see it's quite a bit, I'm not
00:21:35.69\00:21:38.09
actually gonna put all of it
00:21:38.13\00:21:39.46
You don't have to. You can eve
save that. What that basically
00:21:40.06\00:21:43.63
that nice little
seasoning that we just did there
00:21:43.70\00:21:45.67
that's basically almost
chicken style seasoning.
00:21:45.70\00:21:49.04
So you can keep some of
that. Then I'm gonna add onion
00:21:50.17\00:21:54.11
and enjoy it. As a matter
of fact add garlic if you want
00:21:54.14\00:21:57.75
red bell peppers,
really simple, really easy.
00:21:57.78\00:22:02.45
and you get that goin there.
Now the key is you have to let
00:22:03.42\00:22:06.29
this dry out quite a bit ok?
So I'm gonna mix it there nicely
00:22:06.32\00:22:10.16
And you have to keep
an eye on it of course
00:22:10.23\00:22:12.83
Then I'm gonna add a
little extra seasoning there
00:22:12.86\00:22:16.16
Now this is my scrambled t'eggs.
Let's get back to this whole
00:22:18.07\00:22:21.94
subject of the tofu and stuff
00:22:21.97\00:22:25.17
Lot of people crying and
complaining, ah the tofu has
00:22:25.21\00:22:28.68
this related to female problems
it's worsening menopause
00:22:28.71\00:22:34.28
it's causing
this or causing that.
00:22:34.32\00:22:36.18
Watch this. Lots of times I
have to watch out for different
00:22:37.25\00:22:39.59
studies because the people that
they're studying yeah they gave
00:22:39.62\00:22:42.36
them tofu but they're also
eatin other animal products
00:22:42.39\00:22:44.73
which have hormones in it as
well, the estrogen and different
00:22:44.76\00:22:48.16
items of that nature. But also
let's look at what its actually
00:22:48.20\00:22:52.67
good for. It's good for female
situations such as menopause
00:22:52.70\00:22:59.07
and the mensies, you know the
little monthly situation there
00:22:59.11\00:23:03.38
it's good for the males as well
for the prostate, good for heart
00:23:03.45\00:23:07.85
helps a person with arterio
sclerosis, high cholesterol
00:23:07.88\00:23:13.56
So this is good for all of those
also good for the little ones
00:23:13.59\00:23:18.59
as well but however, you don't
want to use soy milk or somethin
00:23:18.63\00:23:21.40
of that nature in place of
formula. Lot of people are doin
00:23:21.43\00:23:25.33
that. The best formula is
one from the Lord, you know
00:23:25.37\00:23:28.40
you know what I'm talkin
about, cover up of course
00:23:28.44\00:23:30.67
that's the best formula a child
can have. But it's good for all
00:23:30.71\00:23:35.34
these items. But what we don't
wanna do is to say, Oh it's good
00:23:35.38\00:23:38.38
for everything. Let's look
at some of the drawbacks it may
00:23:38.41\00:23:40.62
have. Because of its protein
content different items of that
00:23:40.68\00:23:44.35
nature, a person who has gout
they may not want to use excess
00:23:44.39\00:23:48.39
amount of soy or tofu because of
uric acid that can be built up.
00:23:48.42\00:23:53.56
What else maybe a drawback?
Sometimes people may have a
00:23:53.60\00:23:58.73
little intestinal situation,
you have a little flammable
00:23:58.77\00:24:02.14
situation happening, you
know I'm talkin about flatulence
00:24:02.17\00:24:05.11
So some people may find that
if they use soy or tofu it may
00:24:05.14\00:24:08.31
cause that problem. So this
is true. What else could be, it
00:24:08.34\00:24:12.18
doesn't have Vitamin B12, let's
see that usually comes from
00:24:12.21\00:24:15.52
animal products, we're a kind of
animal family. So we have micro
00:24:15.55\00:24:18.92
organisms that produce it in
our oral cavity, in our mouth
00:24:18.95\00:24:21.66
and our digestive tract. So
that's pretty neat. You can get
00:24:21.69\00:24:25.83
that from somewhere else.
Vitamin C. Hello I just put
00:24:25.86\00:24:28.50
some red bell peppers in here.
Red bell peppers have up to four
00:24:28.53\00:24:31.90
times the amount of Vitamin
C than an orange. So that's
00:24:31.93\00:24:34.97
covered as well. But many
people say, soy causes allergies
00:24:35.00\00:24:39.57
Let me explain this whole
allergy situation real quick
00:24:39.61\00:24:43.85
Now what happens is I'm gonna
lower down the flame just a bit
00:24:43.91\00:24:48.65
cause it's cooking nicely here
for me. What happens with that
00:24:48.68\00:24:52.95
this is how allergies in general
develop. You bring in a foreign
00:24:53.92\00:24:57.73
item and the body develops
what is known as immuno globulin
00:24:57.76\00:25:02.96
ok, and so it attaches to that
and the next time it sees it
00:25:03.00\00:25:06.50
you have an inflammatory
response, you get congested
00:25:06.53\00:25:09.10
you break out in hives and items
of that nature. Which nut most
00:25:09.14\00:25:13.14
people have an allergy
to? Peanuts, right? Ok.
00:25:13.17\00:25:16.18
Peanuts are like, some people
the allergy is so bad all they
00:25:16.21\00:25:20.22
have to do is smell it
and they're like breakin out
00:25:20.25\00:25:23.52
sometimes they have a really
bad they have anaphylaxic shock
00:25:23.59\00:25:26.96
and they have to get the epi-pen
matter of fact one time I was
00:25:26.99\00:25:28.92
flyin from Johannesburg back
to Atlanta, Georgia and we got
00:25:28.96\00:25:32.76
on the plane, everybody was
sittin down in the big jumbo jet
00:25:32.79\00:25:36.10
and the flight attendant
said, hey everybody on the plane
00:25:36.13\00:25:40.60
somebody seated in 32C,
obviously we don't know who,
00:25:40.64\00:25:44.61
that is so everybody looked
back, has allergy to peanuts
00:25:44.64\00:25:49.11
so what we gonna do,
every body 5-10 rows around them
00:25:49.14\00:25:53.01
5-10 rows around them,
we're not gonna allow you to use
00:25:53.05\00:25:55.72
peanuts ok? Look at that. Just
take a quick look, turnin nice
00:25:55.75\00:25:59.49
and brown there and it's
startin to cook properly ok
00:25:59.52\00:26:05.33
So they said, the flight
attendant got on, so that person
00:26:05.36\00:26:09.00
in 32C has peanut allergy so
everybody 5-10 rows around them
00:26:09.03\00:26:13.13
don't use it. Now why did
they say 5-10 rows because that
00:26:13.17\00:26:16.17
person probably has peanut
allergies so bad that if they
00:26:16.20\00:26:18.81
just smell it
they're in trouble.
00:26:18.84\00:26:20.18
So then everybody's click.
Ok poor person. Now we can't eat
00:26:20.21\00:26:24.15
peanuts in that area,
right? Here's the funniest thing
00:26:24.18\00:26:26.48
The flight attendant got
back on the mic, check this out
00:26:26.51\00:26:30.69
for 10-12 hours we're gonna be
over the water, so you know what
00:26:30.72\00:26:35.16
we can't do emergency landing
peanuts are banned on the plane
00:26:35.19\00:26:39.09
Everybody's like, oh man, no
peanuts cause we're on the plane
00:26:39.13\00:26:42.03
for 15 hours right? So here's
the thing that came to my mind
00:26:42.06\00:26:45.60
The reason why a lot of people
have peanut allergy is because
00:26:45.63\00:26:48.44
they have been overexposed
to peanuts back in the day when
00:26:48.47\00:26:52.04
they were doin candy bars
they either buy peanuts for
00:26:52.07\00:26:54.61
a dollar a pound or they can
use almonds for $7.99 a pound
00:26:54.64\00:26:58.78
which did they use? Peanuts.
Same thing with olive oil
00:26:58.81\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
00:27:13.43\00:27:15.93
to it. Let me explain. You wake
up in the morning you have bread
00:27:15.96\00:27:18.77
with what kind of butter
do you put on it? Soy butter
00:27:18.80\00:27:21.27
You have some scrambled t'eggs
made from tofu, then you take
00:27:21.30\00:27:24.47
a smoothie made from soy, then
you go to work and have a what
00:27:24.51\00:27:28.48
a soy burger, what kinda cheese
do you put on that, soy cheese
00:27:28.51\00:27:30.85
what kinda
mayonnaise, soy mayonnaise
00:27:30.88\00:27:32.21
You come home and
you have rice with what?
00:27:32.25\00:27:35.15
soy chunks. And then you
finish off with a scoop of what?
00:27:35.18\00:27:38.89
Scoop of soy ice cream. So
your body says, too much what?
00:27:38.92\00:27:42.96
Soy, I don't want anymore
00:27:42.99\00:27:44.53
So what we need to do is
find a balance and moderation
00:27:44.56\00:27:47.50
in everything. And I have a nice
finished product for you all
00:27:47.50\00:27:50.63
And this is done and I
know you all will enjoy
00:27:50.67\00:27:53.60
some nice scrambled
t'eggs. Enjoy, give it a try
00:27:53.64\00:27:57.37
and make sure you eat
your breakfast every day.
