A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:12.41\00:00:13.78
Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:30.06\00:00:32.06
My name is Evita Tezeno,
00:00:32.09\00:00:34.30
and you know
everybody has a sweet tooth
00:00:34.33\00:00:37.47
and I am the
biggest fans of sweet.
00:00:37.50\00:00:41.17
I know this friend of mine
and he calls it sweet meat.
00:00:41.20\00:00:44.91
Every time he
wants dessert, he says,
00:00:44.94\00:00:47.34
"Can you make me
some sweet meat."
00:00:47.38\00:00:49.24
So, yes, I love
dessert, and today,
00:00:49.28\00:00:52.41
I'm gonna be sharing a
wonderful recipe with you.
00:00:52.45\00:00:55.88
It's a Pecan
Cranberry Tart and it's creamy,
00:00:55.92\00:01:00.79
it resembles a cheesecake.
00:01:00.82\00:01:02.89
But it's a little more creamier
and it's all plant based.
00:01:02.92\00:01:06.83
And let's see the recipe.
00:01:06.86\00:01:09.03
For the crust you would need:
00:01:09.06\00:01:10.87
So we're gonna use
the Cuisinart today,
00:01:25.51\00:01:29.15
the processor,
00:01:29.18\00:01:31.49
and we'll start with almonds
00:01:31.52\00:01:33.46
that have been
soaked and dehydrated.
00:01:33.49\00:01:37.16
And we want to grind
them into a fine powder first.
00:01:37.19\00:01:41.03
Once they've have been
grounded into fine powder,
00:02:03.52\00:02:05.89
you want to add
your carob powder.
00:02:05.92\00:02:08.66
And we use carob
00:02:08.69\00:02:10.63
because chocolate
has caffeine in it
00:02:10.66\00:02:16.80
and I...
00:02:16.83\00:02:18.17
And chocolate also is not sweet.
00:02:18.20\00:02:20.87
It's, it is bitter to the taste
00:02:20.90\00:02:23.97
and they put a lot
of milk and sugar in it
00:02:24.01\00:02:26.54
to make it sweet
00:02:26.57\00:02:28.01
but carob powder
is naturally sweet.
00:02:28.04\00:02:30.21
So that's why I use carob.
00:02:30.25\00:02:32.71
And then we want to
add the maple syrup.
00:02:32.75\00:02:36.95
And we put a little salt in
it just to balance the taste.
00:02:36.99\00:02:42.12
And then we want to process it.
00:02:42.16\00:02:45.96
And then we're
gonna add our coconut oil.
00:02:52.67\00:02:56.14
And if you notice it's
like a cookie dough consistency.
00:03:25.40\00:03:30.84
So we're gonna take this mixture
00:03:30.87\00:03:32.94
and I have already
started one in our tart pan.
00:03:32.97\00:03:37.38
And we're gonna take the mixture
00:03:37.41\00:03:40.95
and we're just
gonna pad it around
00:03:40.98\00:03:44.35
and fill up...
00:03:44.39\00:03:46.65
the tart pan.
00:03:50.19\00:03:53.83
You know desserts
00:03:53.86\00:03:57.17
that are plant
based are very, very easy.
00:03:57.20\00:04:00.77
And a lot of people
asked me, they said,
00:04:00.80\00:04:04.21
"I have a sweet tooth.
00:04:04.24\00:04:06.37
And I just don't want
to give up my desserts."
00:04:06.41\00:04:09.24
But you don't have to.
00:04:09.28\00:04:11.31
You can have wonderful desserts
00:04:11.35\00:04:14.58
that are sugar free and
they are very good for you,
00:04:14.62\00:04:20.46
like this one for instance
00:04:20.49\00:04:23.66
because of the cranberries
is high in vitamin C.
00:04:23.69\00:04:26.26
So I have placed
all the mixture around
00:04:31.50\00:04:35.64
the tart pan
00:04:35.67\00:04:37.01
and now we are
ready for the filling.
00:04:37.04\00:04:41.14
And the recipe
for the filling is:
00:04:41.18\00:04:42.91
Okay, so we're gonna
start with the filling
00:05:10.51\00:05:14.24
and these are cashews
00:05:14.28\00:05:15.91
that have been soaked overnight.
00:05:15.94\00:05:19.11
And one reason why I
love to soak my cashews
00:05:19.15\00:05:22.28
because it makes
desserts and dishes more creamy
00:05:22.32\00:05:27.82
and we're gonna do the water,
00:05:27.86\00:05:29.19
the salt.
00:05:33.86\00:05:35.20
And I always like to put a
little salt in sweet things
00:05:35.23\00:05:37.53
because it balance the flavor.
00:05:37.57\00:05:39.73
This is the lemon juice.
00:05:39.77\00:05:42.70
The lemon juice
makes it have that
00:05:42.74\00:05:44.27
kind of cream
cheese kind of taste.
00:05:44.31\00:05:48.98
We have agave.
00:05:49.01\00:05:50.35
If you don't want to use agave,
00:05:50.38\00:05:51.71
you can use
honey or maple syrup.
00:05:51.75\00:05:54.88
And then our coconut oil,
00:05:58.25\00:06:00.82
and this coconut oil
makes the dessert solidify
00:06:04.56\00:06:10.03
when it's cold.
00:06:10.07\00:06:11.40
And then we want
to blend this up.
00:06:18.77\00:06:21.04
Now once it all have blended up
00:06:44.90\00:06:48.50
and this top just
didn't want to come off.
00:06:48.54\00:06:51.57
We want to pour
this into a bowl.
00:06:51.61\00:06:53.81
And then put the cranberries in
00:07:00.55\00:07:02.52
and then the pecans.
00:07:08.66\00:07:09.99
You guys are really
gonna love this dessert.
00:07:13.29\00:07:15.56
It is sweet and
tart at the same time
00:07:15.60\00:07:18.70
that what's gives it that
extraordinary kind of flavor
00:07:18.73\00:07:25.17
because the tartness
is from the cranberries
00:07:25.21\00:07:28.58
and then the
sweet from the custard,
00:07:28.61\00:07:30.58
it's amazing.
00:07:30.61\00:07:33.65
And then you want
to just gently pour.
00:07:33.68\00:07:37.82
Now this recipe
recalls for a larger tart pan,
00:07:37.85\00:07:41.99
I'm using a
smaller tart pan today.
00:07:42.02\00:07:44.49
And then you want to
stick this into fridge.
00:07:48.53\00:07:51.53
And if you really are in a hurry
00:07:51.57\00:07:55.14
and you want to eat it now,
00:07:55.17\00:07:56.74
you can stick it in the freezer.
00:07:56.77\00:07:59.11
And it needs
about maybe a good...
00:07:59.14\00:08:01.34
In the freezer you
need about maybe six hours,
00:08:01.38\00:08:05.81
but in the refrigerator
it needs to be overnight
00:08:05.85\00:08:09.25
and it will solidify
and I made one beforehand,
00:08:09.28\00:08:13.79
so let's see.
00:08:13.82\00:08:15.16
Check this out.
00:08:20.26\00:08:23.00
This is so festive looking
00:08:23.03\00:08:26.03
and I'm telling
you it's delicious.
00:08:26.07\00:08:28.87
I made one a
couple of nights ago
00:08:28.90\00:08:31.04
and we devoured it.
00:08:31.07\00:08:34.58
This is been Evita with
another fabulous recipe,
00:08:34.61\00:08:38.05
and remember to live life fresh.
00:08:38.08\00:08:41.38
Never Settle for Less!
00:08:48.56\00:08:50.16
Only Eat Grandma's Best.
00:08:50.19\00:08:51.83
Y'all remember when
grandma used to tell you,
00:08:51.86\00:08:53.46
"Son, never settle for less!"
00:08:53.50\00:08:56.03
When you do something
do the best that you can.
00:08:56.06\00:08:58.63
And so, I will
start this program today
00:08:58.67\00:09:01.17
with the best apology I can.
00:09:01.20\00:09:03.34
Many years ago and
seasons way before,
00:09:03.37\00:09:06.34
we made
something called cornbread.
00:09:06.37\00:09:08.81
I actually call it corn rocks
00:09:08.84\00:09:10.71
because it came out so hard
00:09:10.75\00:09:12.08
like you have to
eat it immediately
00:09:12.11\00:09:13.95
or else it would
like hit you back,
00:09:13.98\00:09:15.78
and so I said, no,
we have to do better.
00:09:15.82\00:09:18.15
We got to step it up
00:09:18.19\00:09:19.52
because I remember
that still small voice,
00:09:19.55\00:09:21.62
I know it was the
Holy Spirit of course,
00:09:21.66\00:09:22.99
but Grandma's saying,
"Son, never settle for less,
00:09:23.02\00:09:26.03
only do the best."
00:09:26.06\00:09:27.40
And so we said, you know,
00:09:27.43\00:09:28.76
we have to search and find out
00:09:28.80\00:09:30.17
what is the
best cornbread recipe
00:09:30.20\00:09:33.03
that we can use,
00:09:33.07\00:09:34.54
that we can eat,
because we all love it.
00:09:34.57\00:09:36.74
Matter of fact sometime ago,
00:09:36.77\00:09:38.31
I was at a program
00:09:38.34\00:09:39.67
and they were
serving this cornbread,
00:09:39.71\00:09:41.04
it was so tasty,
00:09:41.08\00:09:42.84
one of our special chefs,
her name is Juanita Gonzalez,
00:09:42.88\00:09:45.81
you know, this little,
little Spanish lady there
00:09:45.85\00:09:48.75
and she made it and I
said, "I need this recipe."
00:09:48.78\00:09:51.69
But I'll tell
you a little secret.
00:09:51.72\00:09:53.05
She gave me the other one too.
00:09:53.09\00:09:54.42
So I think she
tried to sidetrack me
00:09:54.46\00:09:55.89
but anyway it was so
good, it was so good.
00:09:55.92\00:09:58.73
Don't worry,
she's not a grandma.
00:09:58.76\00:10:00.10
But I said,
00:10:00.13\00:10:01.46
let us try this one more time
00:10:01.50\00:10:02.83
and give people
something better.
00:10:02.86\00:10:04.60
Matter of fact
that recipe was so good,
00:10:04.63\00:10:06.40
we had it once a week
for the next 13 weeks.
00:10:06.43\00:10:08.87
Pray for me,
00:10:08.90\00:10:10.24
I need to be tempered, I know.
00:10:10.27\00:10:11.61
But now, we're
gonna share with you that.
00:10:11.64\00:10:13.38
We're gonna make some cornbread,
00:10:13.41\00:10:14.98
some good old cornbread,
00:10:15.01\00:10:16.34
and we're gonna
make some collard greens,
00:10:16.38\00:10:18.48
you've got to have the greens.
00:10:18.51\00:10:19.85
And we're gonna look at some
of the beneficial properties.
00:10:19.88\00:10:21.95
Matter of fact when
you think of greens,
00:10:21.98\00:10:23.32
anybody think,
00:10:23.35\00:10:24.69
they only think
of spinach or kale
00:10:24.72\00:10:26.32
or something of that nature,
00:10:26.35\00:10:27.69
but today we're gonna look
at some good old collard greens.
00:10:27.72\00:10:30.23
So we're gonna make
some good cornbread,
00:10:30.26\00:10:32.36
healthy cornbread
00:10:32.39\00:10:33.73
without the
aluminum baking powder
00:10:33.76\00:10:36.23
and all of this other stuff,
the good one from scratch.
00:10:36.26\00:10:39.13
And we're gonna go
through this recipe
00:10:39.17\00:10:40.50
because we've got
to get that in the oven
00:10:40.54\00:10:41.87
so we can get roll in.
00:10:41.90\00:10:43.24
All you need for
Grandma's Best Never Settle
00:10:43.27\00:10:44.87
For Less Cornbread is:
00:10:44.91\00:10:46.54
And literally
that's how easy it is.
00:11:10.90\00:11:14.04
There's no reason,
no excuses we can make.
00:11:14.07\00:11:16.71
I need to put baking
powder or whatever like that.
00:11:16.74\00:11:19.64
No, because that
aluminum in there
00:11:19.67\00:11:21.91
as we learned
over and over again
00:11:21.94\00:11:23.71
is gonna cause other problems,
00:11:23.75\00:11:25.08
that's why they
have that aluminum free
00:11:25.11\00:11:26.65
but then aluminum free still has
00:11:26.68\00:11:28.55
what is known as
sodium bicarbonate
00:11:28.58\00:11:30.42
which interrupts some of
the digestive processes there.
00:11:30.45\00:11:33.25
So we're gonna go with
the Featherweight here,
00:11:33.29\00:11:34.62
very simple, easy and tasty,
00:11:34.66\00:11:36.56
so let's get this thing moving.
00:11:36.59\00:11:37.93
What we're gonna do,
00:11:37.96\00:11:39.29
we're gonna just
take our mixing bowl.
00:11:39.33\00:11:40.66
We're gonna get the
other ingredients going.
00:11:40.70\00:11:42.33
You have to have,
00:11:42.36\00:11:43.70
you have to start
with some cornmeal.
00:11:43.73\00:11:46.47
This is a crucial,
crucial ingredient,
00:11:46.50\00:11:50.37
foundational ingredient.
00:11:50.41\00:11:52.24
So we're gonna
take that cornmeal,
00:11:52.27\00:11:53.84
we're gonna poor
that in, nice, simple.
00:11:53.88\00:11:56.18
Preferably if you
can get organic one,
00:11:56.21\00:11:57.95
you're in good shape
but work with what you have,
00:11:57.98\00:11:59.75
is that all right.
00:11:59.78\00:12:01.12
We're gonna put that
flour in there as well.
00:12:01.15\00:12:03.22
We're gonna get
those items slowly
00:12:03.25\00:12:04.72
but surely mixing up.
00:12:04.75\00:12:06.65
Then we're gonna
take this one here,
00:12:06.69\00:12:09.99
we're gonna have some of that
evaporated cane juice crystals,
00:12:10.03\00:12:12.96
this is the secret ingredient.
00:12:12.99\00:12:14.43
You didn't get the first time,
00:12:14.46\00:12:15.80
now you're gonna
get it all right,
00:12:15.83\00:12:17.17
so we have the evaporated
cane juice crystals there.
00:12:17.20\00:12:21.10
We're gonna add some now.
00:12:21.14\00:12:22.77
We're gonna take the salt,
00:12:22.80\00:12:25.21
make sure you put
that in the above,
00:12:25.24\00:12:26.81
make sure please mix it properly
00:12:26.84\00:12:29.71
because I remember one
time I was having cornbread
00:12:29.74\00:12:32.21
and I don't know what happened.
00:12:32.25\00:12:33.72
I just got a salty bite.
00:12:33.75\00:12:35.88
Yes, a salty bite
00:12:35.92\00:12:37.25
if sometimes we
don't mix it properly.
00:12:37.29\00:12:38.62
So you're gonna mix
00:12:38.65\00:12:39.99
all of the dry
ingredients here together,
00:12:40.02\00:12:42.16
and then we're gonna
hold on a featherweight,
00:12:42.19\00:12:44.36
though we're gonna
leave that one for last
00:12:44.39\00:12:45.79
because that
gets, that gets rolling.
00:12:45.83\00:12:47.73
It may act like a featherweight
00:12:47.76\00:12:49.23
but it hits like a heavyweight.
00:12:49.26\00:12:50.87
Then we're gonna
take some of that soy milk
00:12:50.90\00:12:53.84
or any kind of milk you have,
00:12:53.87\00:12:55.54
nut milk, rice
milk or almond milk,
00:12:55.57\00:12:58.41
enjoy we're gonna mix those up
00:12:58.44\00:12:59.77
and we're gonna add
that oil in there also.
00:12:59.81\00:13:02.58
This is, this is
crucial this gonna give it
00:13:02.61\00:13:04.41
that nice
fluffiness that we all want
00:13:04.45\00:13:07.15
and it's gonna taste amazing.
00:13:07.18\00:13:09.15
So we have the salt
00:13:09.18\00:13:11.02
and evaporated
cane juice crystals.
00:13:11.05\00:13:13.82
Now this is that all crucial.
00:13:13.86\00:13:15.99
Look at this, this thing
don't even want to get out.
00:13:16.02\00:13:17.93
As it is just use a spoon,
00:13:17.96\00:13:19.69
so I'm gonna go ahead and
get this out of here even,
00:13:19.73\00:13:22.33
even a mixer wants to
hold on to this recipe,
00:13:22.36\00:13:24.73
I don't, I don't...
00:13:24.77\00:13:26.10
Yeah, I better get it
00:13:26.13\00:13:27.47
or somebody
else will, all right.
00:13:27.50\00:13:29.00
And so we're gonna add this
00:13:29.04\00:13:30.37
but we're gonna make one more
00:13:30.41\00:13:31.94
because you see
it's nice and thick,
00:13:31.97\00:13:33.31
I just want to
mix that up properly,
00:13:33.34\00:13:34.68
then we're gonna add
that coconut milk this,
00:13:34.71\00:13:38.18
this right here,
this changes it all.
00:13:38.21\00:13:40.98
We call the coconut
milk, the game changer.
00:13:41.02\00:13:43.65
All right.
00:13:43.69\00:13:45.02
So we're gonna have that going.
00:13:45.05\00:13:46.39
Matter of fact
00:13:46.42\00:13:47.76
if you just take
coconut milk and cornmeal,
00:13:47.79\00:13:50.13
and you put it in
a pot or sauce pan
00:13:50.16\00:13:53.60
and you mix it up
and you leave it there,
00:13:53.63\00:13:56.90
you mix it up and you
boil it for a little while,
00:13:56.93\00:13:59.93
you can even make butter.
00:13:59.97\00:14:02.00
Yes, you can make
butter from scratch here,
00:14:02.04\00:14:05.27
just by using the what?
00:14:05.31\00:14:06.68
The cornmeal and the,
00:14:06.71\00:14:09.38
and the coconut milk
with a little bit of sauce,
00:14:09.41\00:14:11.05
so you can make your
own butter from scratch
00:14:11.08\00:14:12.88
because you ever
try to go to the store
00:14:12.91\00:14:14.25
and buy those healthy butters,
00:14:14.28\00:14:16.38
their price was healthy too.
00:14:16.42\00:14:18.55
So now you can do
it yourself, all right.
00:14:18.59\00:14:20.59
So we're gonna
mix those items there.
00:14:20.62\00:14:22.42
Look at that, it's looking good.
00:14:22.46\00:14:24.76
All right.
00:14:24.79\00:14:26.13
I'm shaking up
the whole place here.
00:14:26.16\00:14:28.26
Oh, man, that's
how that cornmeal...
00:14:28.30\00:14:29.73
Matter of fact, grandma,
00:14:29.76\00:14:31.10
her cornmeal was so good
00:14:31.13\00:14:33.13
that we were eating it
before it was even done.
00:14:33.17\00:14:35.47
You know what I'm
talking about, right,
00:14:35.50\00:14:36.84
where you go and you get it.
00:14:36.87\00:14:39.27
Then here it is
the heavyweight that,
00:14:39.31\00:14:41.31
it's called the featherweight.
00:14:41.34\00:14:42.74
We're gonna add the
featherweight to that.
00:14:42.78\00:14:45.75
And we're gonna get
that going nice, look at it,
00:14:45.78\00:14:48.38
it's all up in the air
00:14:48.42\00:14:50.02
so we're gonna
mix this in properly.
00:14:50.05\00:14:51.42
This is gonna give us that,
00:14:51.45\00:14:53.39
that body that we
want there for the cornmeal
00:14:53.42\00:14:57.13
so, get it going
nicely, whip it up there.
00:14:57.16\00:15:00.30
And all you're
gonna do now is take this,
00:15:00.33\00:15:03.43
put it in a little bacon dish.
00:15:03.47\00:15:05.37
I have a nice
little circular bacon dish.
00:15:05.40\00:15:07.14
We're gonna take this
now, we're gonna spread up.
00:15:07.17\00:15:10.24
If you don't
want to use a spray,
00:15:10.27\00:15:11.61
then just go ahead and
put some little olive oil.
00:15:11.64\00:15:13.27
This is what I have,
00:15:13.31\00:15:14.64
I'm gonna work with it
and put some olive oil,
00:15:14.68\00:15:18.38
or you could put some of that
00:15:18.41\00:15:19.81
maybe your
homemade butter or something
00:15:19.85\00:15:21.48
or even coconut milk probably
00:15:21.52\00:15:23.22
because it has a nice good
amount of oil or fats there.
00:15:23.25\00:15:28.42
Then we're gonna
take this, all right.
00:15:28.46\00:15:30.46
Let me switch
this up a little bit.
00:15:30.49\00:15:32.36
Now, here's the
time for my spatula,
00:15:32.39\00:15:34.16
I'm just gonna
pour this in nicely.
00:15:34.20\00:15:37.83
All right.
00:15:37.87\00:15:40.07
Look at this, even a
bowl doesn't want to let go.
00:15:40.10\00:15:42.27
Everybody wants some
of grandma's cornbread.
00:15:42.30\00:15:45.31
Oh, nice thick.
00:15:45.34\00:15:47.91
Oh, man, this is
gonna be ready in no time,
00:15:47.94\00:15:50.28
and we pour that in there.
00:15:50.31\00:15:51.98
Oh, man,
Thanksgiving, Christmas,
00:15:52.01\00:15:54.35
we're gonna celebrate
early whatever time Easter,
00:15:54.38\00:15:57.42
I don't know, I'm not
really big into the holidays
00:15:57.45\00:16:00.06
but I'll be making up holidays
00:16:00.09\00:16:01.72
so I can make some of
this or invite my friends,
00:16:01.76\00:16:04.69
so they can make it for me.
00:16:04.73\00:16:06.06
I'm tired of cooking.
00:16:06.09\00:16:07.43
And we're gonna go ahead.
00:16:07.46\00:16:08.80
Now, we're gonna take this,
00:16:08.83\00:16:10.17
we're gonna put
this in oven 300-350
00:16:10.20\00:16:12.33
but keep an eye on it,
because it's done in no time.
00:16:12.37\00:16:15.30
So we're gonna take that
and I have a nice little cool
00:16:15.34\00:16:17.97
finished product for
you all and here it is.
00:16:18.01\00:16:22.94
This is how it
should come out looking.
00:16:22.98\00:16:25.01
This is what I'm
talking about here.
00:16:25.05\00:16:27.05
This is the
cornbread that people,
00:16:27.08\00:16:29.18
I'm not gonna say, die for it,
00:16:29.22\00:16:30.59
but they would if they could.
00:16:30.62\00:16:32.35
This is very tasty delicious.
00:16:32.39\00:16:34.46
Matter of fact,
00:16:34.49\00:16:35.82
we shared it
already with so many people
00:16:35.86\00:16:37.39
and they're asking for a recipe.
00:16:37.43\00:16:39.03
Just call A Taste of Paradise,
they will take care of you.
00:16:39.06\00:16:41.80
We need to put it in our
book or something like that
00:16:41.83\00:16:44.50
because this is
a moneymaker here.
00:16:44.53\00:16:46.37
All right, so,
that is your cornbread,
00:16:46.40\00:16:48.57
very simple and easy.
00:16:48.60\00:16:50.07
Can you do that or what?
00:16:50.11\00:16:51.44
A couple of
ingredients and it's over.
00:16:51.47\00:16:53.68
As simple as that,
00:16:53.71\00:16:55.04
but you can just have cornbread
but with cornbread alone.
00:16:55.08\00:16:58.21
I know it's good,
00:16:58.25\00:16:59.58
but we're gonna
add a little extra.
00:16:59.61\00:17:01.48
We're gonna have some greens.
00:17:01.52\00:17:02.92
And what kind of
greens are we talking about?
00:17:02.95\00:17:04.75
We're talking about
that good old collard greens.
00:17:04.79\00:17:07.82
This here is a
Southern favorite.
00:17:07.86\00:17:09.69
Everybody loves it.
00:17:09.72\00:17:11.06
Everybody wants it.
00:17:11.09\00:17:12.43
It's like, it's like
00:17:12.46\00:17:13.80
the cornbread is the left,
00:17:13.83\00:17:15.60
but then you got
to get the right,
00:17:15.63\00:17:16.97
hook right there
with the collard greens,
00:17:17.00\00:17:18.80
so now we're gonna
make Never Settle for Less!
00:17:18.83\00:17:21.20
Grandma's Best.
00:17:21.24\00:17:23.27
Grandma's Best
Never Settle for Less,
00:17:23.30\00:17:24.64
Collard greens.
00:17:24.67\00:17:26.01
All you need is about:
00:17:26.04\00:17:27.38
Woo!
00:18:06.51\00:18:07.85
Now, that was a mouthful there,
00:18:07.88\00:18:09.22
but don't worry, it's
gonna be worth it all.
00:18:09.25\00:18:11.05
I know y'all are trying
to write this thing down
00:18:11.09\00:18:13.09
or keep up but
just follow along.
00:18:13.12\00:18:15.22
If you get it, for
me this is how I learn.
00:18:15.26\00:18:17.73
I just need to watch
people do it properly one time,
00:18:17.76\00:18:21.63
and by God's grace
I'll learn how to do it.
00:18:21.66\00:18:24.53
You ever noticed
00:18:24.57\00:18:25.90
especially in a life of
Jesus with the disciples,
00:18:25.93\00:18:27.27
they were like,
"what should we do."
00:18:27.30\00:18:28.64
He's like what?
00:18:28.67\00:18:30.01
"Come follow me."
00:18:30.04\00:18:31.37
So you don't need no
numbers and stuff like that,
00:18:31.41\00:18:32.74
just follow me
00:18:32.77\00:18:34.11
and I'm gonna
show you how to do it.
00:18:34.14\00:18:35.48
So just try to
follow, I watch others do it,
00:18:35.51\00:18:37.01
and I'm gonna try to
do it myself, all right.
00:18:37.05\00:18:38.61
So we have the collard greens.
00:18:38.65\00:18:39.98
We're gonna take about
two to three cups of water.
00:18:40.02\00:18:41.92
Let me get this
stove running first.
00:18:41.95\00:18:45.22
All right, so I got that,
00:18:45.25\00:18:46.59
I already have
the water in there.
00:18:46.62\00:18:48.49
Then I'm gonna take my about...
00:18:48.52\00:18:51.43
Let's see how much we have here.
00:18:51.46\00:18:53.33
We have about two pounds.
00:18:53.36\00:18:54.70
This is literally two
pounds of collard greens
00:18:54.73\00:18:56.56
ready for you to go,
and we're gonna take this,
00:18:56.60\00:18:58.83
we're gonna put this into
the pot a little bit there.
00:18:58.87\00:19:01.90
And this has been
washed, it says, triple wash
00:19:01.94\00:19:04.71
but sometimes I guess
you can never be too sure.
00:19:04.74\00:19:07.21
So if you're unsure
00:19:07.24\00:19:08.74
then what I want to
encourage you to do is
00:19:08.78\00:19:10.88
just wash it again, all right.
00:19:10.91\00:19:12.91
And I'm gonna put as
much as I can in there
00:19:12.95\00:19:17.05
without making a mess.
00:19:17.09\00:19:18.42
As you know with collard
greens it takes a little,
00:19:18.45\00:19:21.02
a little while there,
it's gonna work its way down.
00:19:21.06\00:19:23.93
All right so for rest
I'm gonna hold over here.
00:19:23.96\00:19:27.20
And here's a simple little tip
00:19:27.23\00:19:29.40
because we have to add
the rest of the ingredients
00:19:29.43\00:19:31.17
so I have my coconut milk,
00:19:31.20\00:19:33.10
I have my tomatoes
and all that stuff.
00:19:33.13\00:19:35.40
You see my pot,
00:19:35.44\00:19:36.77
I'm squeezed here
for space on my pot,
00:19:36.81\00:19:38.24
so I'm just
gonna take these items,
00:19:38.27\00:19:40.28
especially the
small dry ingredients
00:19:40.31\00:19:43.35
like the onion
powder, garlic powder.
00:19:43.38\00:19:44.75
I'm just gonna mix
this all up in advance
00:19:44.78\00:19:46.58
before I pour it
over the top there
00:19:46.61\00:19:49.88
and then we should
be, we should be good.
00:19:49.92\00:19:51.69
We're gonna have
the salt, all right.
00:19:51.72\00:19:54.49
And remember I said about
two to three cups of water.
00:19:54.52\00:19:56.29
So I'm gonna mix all
of these items in advance.
00:19:56.32\00:20:00.60
We have all of this stuff here.
00:20:00.63\00:20:03.57
All right.
00:20:03.60\00:20:05.33
We have some...
00:20:05.37\00:20:07.14
So we want the Braggs
00:20:07.17\00:20:08.50
but we'll work
with what we have,
00:20:08.54\00:20:10.01
all right.
00:20:10.04\00:20:11.37
So we got that going there.
00:20:11.41\00:20:12.74
We have some nice turmeric.
00:20:12.77\00:20:14.11
Oh, turmeric is amazing.
00:20:14.14\00:20:15.91
Matter of fact
turmeric is so good
00:20:15.94\00:20:17.28
especially for the ladies
00:20:17.31\00:20:19.08
that has what is known
as Cox-2 or 3 inhibitor
00:20:19.11\00:20:21.68
which kind of
stifles or hinders,
00:20:21.72\00:20:24.45
you know tumors and
those items from growing.
00:20:24.49\00:20:27.29
You know, a lot of
people dealing with fibroids
00:20:27.32\00:20:29.42
or cyst or you know
00:20:29.46\00:20:32.13
it's just all over
the place and watch this,
00:20:32.16\00:20:33.66
a lot of people ask,
00:20:33.70\00:20:35.03
"What do we do
about fibroids, cysts,
00:20:35.06\00:20:36.60
or tumors or whatever."
00:20:36.63\00:20:37.97
Now, did you know that fibroids
00:20:38.00\00:20:39.33
or these growths are
not like some random thing
00:20:39.37\00:20:42.20
that just comes from
the air and goes into ear.
00:20:42.24\00:20:44.37
You know from
the air in your ear
00:20:44.41\00:20:46.61
and make its way
down to the uterus
00:20:46.64\00:20:48.34
or to the stomach or something.
00:20:48.38\00:20:49.71
These are normal cells in a body
00:20:49.74\00:20:51.18
that have just overgrown.
00:20:51.21\00:20:53.05
Maybe it could be,
00:20:53.08\00:20:54.92
you know, people
going through stress,
00:20:54.95\00:20:56.45
the estrogen
increases a little bit.
00:20:56.48\00:20:58.92
It's just sometimes
unfortunately common in ladies
00:20:58.95\00:21:01.72
as they move
into their, in their,
00:21:01.76\00:21:03.83
you know,
latter moments in life,
00:21:03.86\00:21:05.23
we call those tropical moments,
00:21:05.26\00:21:06.86
you know, it's not hot or cold,
00:21:06.90\00:21:09.76
it just switches up,
00:21:09.80\00:21:11.13
and one second
it's a warm breeze
00:21:11.17\00:21:12.93
and they're like this,
00:21:12.97\00:21:14.30
the next second is a cold breeze
00:21:14.34\00:21:15.67
and they kind to try to warm up.
00:21:15.70\00:21:17.04
So when they move
into this point there,
00:21:17.07\00:21:20.08
they show that
turmeric is actually acts like
00:21:20.11\00:21:22.38
because it
stifles those fibroids
00:21:22.41\00:21:24.71
or those cysts or
those items from growing,
00:21:24.75\00:21:27.48
but you remember to
keep with all diseases.
00:21:27.52\00:21:29.72
I'm gonna have to say it
again is please try your best
00:21:29.75\00:21:33.46
if you can hold off on distress,
00:21:33.49\00:21:35.92
never settle for less,
00:21:35.96\00:21:37.56
only ask the Lord
for the best, all right.
00:21:37.59\00:21:40.46
So what can you use?
00:21:40.50\00:21:41.83
Turmeric, however do
not use this thing...
00:21:41.86\00:21:44.93
Some people find
out turmeric is good.
00:21:44.97\00:21:46.57
So what do they do?
00:21:46.60\00:21:47.94
They go on a turmeric binge.
00:21:47.97\00:21:50.17
Turmeric in a salad,
turmeric in their green.
00:21:50.21\00:21:53.11
They're drinking
turmeric, taking turmeric pills.
00:21:53.14\00:21:55.74
Too much, too much I better cry.
00:21:55.78\00:21:57.95
Use it for its intended purpose
00:21:57.98\00:21:59.81
and other than
that hold off on it.
00:21:59.85\00:22:01.72
And if you can check out
some of our other recipes,
00:22:01.75\00:22:03.39
we've done Curry in a Hurry,
00:22:03.42\00:22:04.75
we use a little
turmeric there as well.
00:22:04.79\00:22:07.66
So enough of the whole
turmeric story, all right.
00:22:07.69\00:22:10.39
Here we go,
we're gonna go ahead,
00:22:10.43\00:22:11.76
we're gonna mix those items up.
00:22:11.79\00:22:13.13
If you notice here,
00:22:13.16\00:22:14.50
my greens are
making its way down.
00:22:14.53\00:22:17.53
So there shall be enough
room to receive it, all right.
00:22:17.57\00:22:20.60
Then I'm gonna take this along.
00:22:20.64\00:22:23.91
I'm gonna put in,
00:22:23.94\00:22:26.04
but I should have
put that one in first,
00:22:26.07\00:22:28.24
but this is just a
all natural earth balance,
00:22:28.28\00:22:30.68
earth balance like, don't worry,
00:22:30.71\00:22:32.05
it's gonna make its way down.
00:22:32.08\00:22:33.42
I'm gonna take my
onions and stuff here.
00:22:33.45\00:22:36.22
I'm gonna pour
that over as well.
00:22:36.25\00:22:39.79
We're gonna mix those
items up here shortly.
00:22:39.82\00:22:41.96
And then you remember,
00:22:41.99\00:22:43.59
you remember the
nutritional yeast flakes,
00:22:43.63\00:22:47.13
we're gonna pour that there,
00:22:47.16\00:22:48.93
and we're gonna
get our tomatoes going.
00:22:48.96\00:22:51.80
This is serious business, y'all.
00:22:51.83\00:22:54.47
I hope you are ready.
00:22:54.50\00:22:56.24
It may look a little funny,
00:22:56.27\00:22:58.14
but it's gonna and then you,
00:22:58.17\00:22:59.51
oh, man, oh man.
Somebody help me here.
00:22:59.54\00:23:04.15
This is what grandma was doing
00:23:04.18\00:23:05.51
while we were
outside playing around.
00:23:05.55\00:23:07.48
She was making some good food.
00:23:07.52\00:23:10.25
Then we're just gonna go ahead
00:23:10.29\00:23:11.69
and get that going
there nicely, all right.
00:23:11.72\00:23:15.69
And what you want to do is
00:23:15.72\00:23:17.23
you want to cover
this up a little bit.
00:23:17.26\00:23:19.36
It's gonna take a
little while there,
00:23:19.39\00:23:20.90
but it actually
moves quite, quite rapidly.
00:23:20.93\00:23:24.10
And in the process,
00:23:24.13\00:23:25.47
I'm just gonna
clean up a little bit.
00:23:25.50\00:23:26.84
Let's talk about
those, those greens.
00:23:26.87\00:23:28.80
Now when we think of greens,
what do we normally think of?
00:23:28.84\00:23:31.74
We think of kale.
00:23:31.77\00:23:33.58
We probably think of broccoli.
00:23:33.61\00:23:35.41
We think of...
00:23:35.44\00:23:36.85
What are some other ones?
00:23:36.88\00:23:38.21
Spinach, all of
these are excellent,
00:23:38.25\00:23:40.42
excellent, excellent.
00:23:40.45\00:23:41.78
But did you know
that out of all of them,
00:23:41.82\00:23:45.85
collard greens is one
of the most effective.
00:23:45.89\00:23:50.79
Most effective greens to use...
00:23:50.83\00:23:53.90
Who can guess, are you ready?
00:23:53.93\00:23:55.70
On three, one, two, three,
00:23:55.73\00:23:58.13
one of the most effective greens
00:23:58.17\00:23:59.87
at lowering your cholesterol.
00:23:59.90\00:24:02.30
Yes.
00:24:02.34\00:24:03.81
Lowering your cholesterol,
00:24:03.84\00:24:05.17
collard greens is one
of the most effective.
00:24:05.21\00:24:06.61
Now, let's explain why?
00:24:06.64\00:24:07.98
Now, let me you something
with all I explain and why.
00:24:08.01\00:24:10.65
When you heat that then
you eat it, what it does,
00:24:10.68\00:24:13.35
it naturally by God's grace,
00:24:13.38\00:24:15.38
it binds to what is
known as bile acids,
00:24:15.42\00:24:18.82
okay, what do we say bile acids.
00:24:18.85\00:24:21.29
So it binds to the bile acid.
00:24:21.32\00:24:23.56
As a result of binding to it,
00:24:23.59\00:24:25.89
it helps with the
excretion of the what, Bile who?
00:24:25.93\00:24:29.66
Acid.
00:24:29.70\00:24:31.03
Now let's go back,
00:24:31.07\00:24:32.40
I don't know if you all
have been paying attention.
00:24:32.43\00:24:33.77
Season one,
season two, season three,
00:24:33.80\00:24:35.90
that when we went over
bile, bile is not a bad thing,
00:24:35.94\00:24:39.74
bile is
actually good, all right.
00:24:39.77\00:24:41.48
Bile is necessary, is
stored in a gallbladder
00:24:41.51\00:24:43.88
and is excreted
to breakdown what?
00:24:43.91\00:24:46.01
Who remembers to
breakdown to what?
00:24:46.05\00:24:48.28
The fats, it helps
to break down fats.
00:24:48.32\00:24:50.89
So as a result
however you have acids
00:24:50.92\00:24:53.12
that are produced
00:24:53.15\00:24:54.49
now because collard
greens binds to the bile acids,
00:24:54.52\00:24:58.46
it pulls it out of
the system but let's now,
00:24:58.49\00:25:01.33
here's a trivia
question of the day.
00:25:01.36\00:25:03.26
If you can get this,
we have a gift for you.
00:25:03.30\00:25:05.17
I don't know what
the gift is called,
00:25:05.20\00:25:07.44
A Taste of Paradise,
00:25:07.47\00:25:08.80
maybe they'll work something out
00:25:08.84\00:25:10.17
but was it a gift.
00:25:10.21\00:25:11.54
Bile is manufactured where?
00:25:11.57\00:25:14.11
In the what?
00:25:14.14\00:25:15.48
In the liver and
cholesterol is necessary
00:25:15.51\00:25:18.21
for the production of bile,
00:25:18.25\00:25:20.45
so by default when
you get rid of bile acids,
00:25:20.48\00:25:24.25
then you have a lower
level of what in the blood?
00:25:24.29\00:25:27.19
Cholesterol.
00:25:27.22\00:25:30.03
You got quiet on me.
00:25:30.06\00:25:31.39
Yes, it's that simple.
00:25:31.43\00:25:33.03
I know y'all came
to learn about the,
00:25:33.06\00:25:34.76
you know, grandmas,
00:25:34.80\00:25:36.13
you know, Never Settle for Less.
00:25:36.16\00:25:37.50
But did you know
collard greens is helpful
00:25:37.53\00:25:40.57
in lowering your what?
00:25:40.60\00:25:42.70
Your cholesterol.
00:25:42.74\00:25:44.41
I'm so excited now,
00:25:44.44\00:25:45.77
because now I can enjoy it
00:25:45.81\00:25:47.24
and it's actually
doing good for me.
00:25:47.28\00:25:49.04
So my greens is cooking,
take a quick look at that.
00:25:49.08\00:25:51.95
That is almost,
00:25:51.98\00:25:53.65
it's on its way but I wanted to,
00:25:53.68\00:25:56.38
I wanted to share
00:25:56.42\00:25:57.75
because I know y'all are hungry,
00:25:57.79\00:25:59.12
I'm hungry.
00:25:59.15\00:26:00.49
Oh, man, that looks
amazingly delicious, okay.
00:26:00.52\00:26:02.99
I wanted to share
what it would look like
00:26:03.02\00:26:05.06
when it's all set and done.
00:26:05.09\00:26:07.83
This is that right there,
that is your greens tasty,
00:26:07.86\00:26:11.93

00:26:11.97\00:26:14.17
Let me get something to eat.
00:26:14.20\00:26:15.54
Man, this is amazing.
00:26:15.57\00:26:16.91
Look at that,

00:26:16.94\00:26:19.74
Matter of fact, go
ahead and have seconds.
00:26:19.77\00:26:22.24
I won't tell anybody
00:26:22.28\00:26:23.61
because I'm about
to have seconds myself,
00:26:23.65\00:26:25.65
you know, I had to keep
a little taste to close by
00:26:25.68\00:26:28.62
so we have our greens there.
00:26:28.65\00:26:30.79
Let's look at
this grandma's best
00:26:30.82\00:26:32.95
Never Settle for Less Cornbread.
00:26:32.99\00:26:35.12
Here is my finished product
there with the cornbread.
00:26:35.16\00:26:37.79
Whoo!
00:26:37.83\00:26:39.16
Matter of fact, who's
asking for turkey now.
00:26:39.19\00:26:42.00
If you just have a good tandem,
00:26:42.03\00:26:44.40
a dynamic duo of good
tasty melting in your mouth.
00:26:44.43\00:26:49.87
For matter I got to show

00:26:49.90\00:26:52.57
Somebody check this out with me.
00:26:52.61\00:26:54.34
Look how spongy
that is, look how tasty.
00:26:54.38\00:26:57.31
Man, this thing,
this is not cornbread,
00:26:57.35\00:26:59.31
this is a corn cake,
00:26:59.35\00:27:00.95
I have the show this for you all
00:27:00.98\00:27:02.32
'cause the last time
like I said, I apologize,
00:27:02.35\00:27:04.55
I made some corn rocks
00:27:04.59\00:27:06.39
and those things were
heavy headers literally.
00:27:06.42\00:27:08.92
It hit heavy in the mouth
00:27:08.96\00:27:10.43
and you know when you
have to use the restroom
00:27:10.46\00:27:11.96
but that's
actually a good thing,
00:27:11.99\00:27:13.33
all right.
00:27:13.36\00:27:14.70
So you can have now
cornbread and it's so tasty.
00:27:14.73\00:27:17.97
It can even dub or substitute
as a cake but delicious,
00:27:18.00\00:27:22.77
healthy and tasty.
00:27:22.80\00:27:24.14
Now, when you take
those two, you ready.
00:27:24.17\00:27:26.27
When you take those
two, you join them up,
00:27:26.31\00:27:28.98
you get that nice
sweet cornbread flavor.
00:27:29.01\00:27:31.48
Then you come back
00:27:31.51\00:27:32.85
as you know my favorite is what?
00:27:32.88\00:27:34.22
My favorite is savory food.
00:27:34.25\00:27:35.78
Then you come
with that savory food
00:27:35.82\00:27:37.85
and don't
worry, take those fist,
00:27:37.89\00:27:39.45
put them down and you
just want to hug this food
00:27:39.49\00:27:42.39
and whoever made it for you.
00:27:42.42\00:27:43.76
You remember when
grandma cooked those good foods,
00:27:43.79\00:27:45.59
what did she do, you came
00:27:45.63\00:27:46.96
and you said come and she said,
00:27:47.00\00:27:48.33
"Come sugar, give me some love."
00:27:48.36\00:27:49.86
She was talking about
evaporated cane juice crystals,
00:27:49.90\00:27:51.23
I'm sure.
00:27:51.27\00:27:52.60
And as you come, and
she'll give you some love
00:27:52.63\00:27:54.67
and you can enjoy.
00:27:54.70\00:27:56.04
So I don't know about
