Have you ever wondered exactly
how to prepare healthy food
00:00:01.36\00:00:04.00
that actually tastes good?
00:00:04.03\00:00:05.83
Well, stay tuned
while Evita Tezeno
00:00:05.87\00:00:07.77
and yours truly Nyse Collins
show you just how to do it
00:00:07.80\00:00:10.74
and give you something
better, A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:10.77\00:00:14.31
Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:32.43\00:00:34.40
My name is Evita
Tezeno and, you know,
00:00:34.43\00:00:37.93
I have a great
recipe, but I need some help
00:00:37.97\00:00:40.74
and I have my
friend, Nyse Collins,
00:00:40.77\00:00:43.34
today helping me
out in the kitchen.
00:00:43.37\00:00:46.27
Amen, amen.
Evita, what's going on?
00:00:46.31\00:00:48.58
Nyse, you got a haircut.
00:00:48.61\00:00:49.98
Oh, well, you see
what happened was,
00:00:50.01\00:00:53.45
you know, I had to take it
down a little bit, you know,
00:00:53.48\00:00:55.98
Taste of Paradise
has just been blowing up,
00:00:56.02\00:00:57.79
people have been
calling us all across the globe.
00:00:57.82\00:01:00.49
Yes.
00:01:00.52\00:01:01.86
And I can't keep up, no
time for fixing hair and stuff.
00:01:01.89\00:01:03.59
If I'm gonna mirror
more than 30 seconds
00:01:03.63\00:01:05.66
something ain't right.
00:01:05.69\00:01:07.03
You know, what I mean?
00:01:07.06\00:01:08.40
So I went ahead, I just
took it all off hair and I said,
00:01:08.43\00:01:11.70
you know, let me just
focus and give a hamper.
00:01:11.73\00:01:13.87
You notice as
I've been traveling,
00:01:13.90\00:01:15.24
everybody has been
talking about the show
00:01:15.27\00:01:16.81
and how good it
is, and all that stuff.
00:01:16.84\00:01:18.67
And I keep asking them
which one of recipes they make?
00:01:18.71\00:01:20.81
And they never
make none of my recipes,
00:01:20.84\00:01:22.68
they only talk
about Evita's recipes.
00:01:22.71\00:01:24.85
So I said, let me come here,
let me come in a little early,
00:01:24.88\00:01:27.68
matter of fact, I cancel
my part, I cancel my part,
00:01:27.72\00:01:30.49
we're gonna focus on
what Evita is doing here
00:01:30.52\00:01:32.19
'cause she is
doing something good.
00:01:32.22\00:01:33.56
She is trying to help us
to live a fresh lifestyle,
00:01:33.59\00:01:36.86
you know, inside and outside
and so, I figured out, I said,
00:01:36.89\00:01:41.16
let me come and
hangout here a little bit.
00:01:41.20\00:01:43.26
I heard you've been
making some really good food,
00:01:43.30\00:01:45.17
some pizzas, some raw
stuff, you know that, you know,
00:01:45.20\00:01:47.64
and literally there is no
such thing as a raw pizza,
00:01:47.67\00:01:50.11
but Evita is
breaking the trend here
00:01:50.14\00:01:52.94
and showing us some simple ways
00:01:52.97\00:01:54.44
on how we can make these
things and healthfully as well.
00:01:54.48\00:01:57.41
Yes.
00:01:57.45\00:01:58.78
So I am truly
excited and it look like
00:01:58.81\00:02:00.88
we're gonna have
something sweet here today.
00:02:00.92\00:02:02.62
Yes. You know, we
all like desserts.
00:02:02.65\00:02:04.75
We all do, we all do.
00:02:04.79\00:02:06.12
What's one of
your favorite desserts
00:02:06.15\00:02:07.76
that you like?
00:02:07.79\00:02:09.12
Well, I make this amazing
cranberry torte and you had it.
00:02:09.16\00:02:12.83
You remember, yeah.
00:02:12.86\00:02:14.20
Yeah, that day was
dangerously good for me.
00:02:14.23\00:02:16.70
I mean, that was
very tasty and healthful
00:02:16.73\00:02:19.13
and you're making also
another dessert today as well.
00:02:19.17\00:02:21.24
I am making cookies.
00:02:21.27\00:02:22.87
Wait a second. Yes.
00:02:22.90\00:02:24.77
Evita, that
doesn't even sound right.
00:02:24.81\00:02:27.04
Now somebody who
tells us to live life fresh
00:02:27.08\00:02:30.05
is making a cookie.
00:02:30.08\00:02:31.41
Now, you know, a root
word, Evita, of cookie.
00:02:31.45\00:02:34.62
Sugar. All
right, all right, sugar.
00:02:34.65\00:02:36.89
But is this C-O-O-K?
00:02:36.92\00:02:39.59
Cook, oh, yeah. Now,
you see, she is busted.
00:02:39.62\00:02:42.09
We got her, we got her.
Evita is cooking a cookie.
00:02:42.12\00:02:45.29
No, no, no, of
course, it's a raw cookie.
00:02:45.33\00:02:46.96
It's a raw cookie,
it's gonna be dehydrated.
00:02:47.00\00:02:48.40
But, you use...
00:02:48.43\00:02:49.76
Okay, so she just
dehydrate it a little bit.
00:02:49.80\00:02:51.67
'cause you know when I
think of cookies cook...
00:02:51.70\00:02:53.64
Yeah, in the oven.
But you're doing it raw.
00:02:53.67\00:02:55.04
Yes. So, fantastic.
00:02:55.07\00:02:56.44
But this is gonna be
done at a low temperature
00:02:56.47\00:02:58.91
like 110 degrees
in a dehydrator, so...
00:02:58.94\00:03:01.24
Okay, so it's not
breaking anything up
00:03:01.28\00:03:03.68
and still saving all of
the vitamins and minerals
00:03:03.71\00:03:06.61
and stuff like that. Exactly.
00:03:06.65\00:03:07.98
Now, just if you
don't mind real quick.
00:03:08.02\00:03:10.09
When doing this raw foods,
what are some of the benefits,
00:03:10.12\00:03:12.79
I am sure you shared it
before with other people
00:03:12.82\00:03:14.56
but I need to hangout on
your show a little bit more.
00:03:14.59\00:03:17.09
Now why we're
doing some of these items
00:03:17.13\00:03:18.76
in raw per se? When you heat...
00:03:18.79\00:03:20.20
Yeah, when you
heat food... Okay.
00:03:20.23\00:03:22.00
You kill the enzymes. All right.
00:03:22.03\00:03:23.77
So you're preserving the enzymes
00:03:23.80\00:03:26.67
when you do it raw.
00:03:26.70\00:03:28.10
Okay, Okay.
00:03:28.14\00:03:29.47
And you keep all
the nutrients intact.
00:03:29.50\00:03:31.27
Okay. All right. Yes.
00:03:31.31\00:03:32.67
Now you see why
Evita is so smart
00:03:32.71\00:03:34.41
because she is keeping
all her nutrients intact here,
00:03:34.44\00:03:36.78
mine is, you know,
destroying them a little bit
00:03:36.81\00:03:39.01
but praise the Lord,
00:03:39.05\00:03:40.38
we find a nice
little balance here,
00:03:40.42\00:03:42.32
and I thank you so much
for having me on the show,
00:03:42.35\00:03:44.79
where we can make
some of these cookies.
00:03:44.82\00:03:46.32
Now, what kind of
cookies are these?
00:03:46.35\00:03:47.76
These are
oatmeal cherry cookies.
00:03:47.79\00:03:51.49
The raw ones
though? The raw oatmeal.
00:03:51.53\00:03:53.86
And you're using
oatmeal but you said,
00:03:53.90\00:03:57.07
you're gonna do it
from scratch, you know?
00:03:57.10\00:03:58.43
Yeah, I am using oat groats.
00:03:58.47\00:03:59.93
Oat groats and this is valuable
because a lot of times people,
00:03:59.97\00:04:04.07
they don't realize that oatmeal
00:04:04.11\00:04:06.47
it actually
comes from oat groat.
00:04:06.51\00:04:09.54
And when it grows,
there's something very similar
00:04:09.58\00:04:12.11
to that of, it
looks like a rice,
00:04:12.15\00:04:13.85
it looks like a whole grain.
00:04:13.88\00:04:15.22
It's basically a wheat.
00:04:15.25\00:04:16.58
you remember in our shows
throughout we've been talking
00:04:16.62\00:04:18.52
about how each grain should
have about three parts to it,
00:04:18.55\00:04:21.92
you know, the fiber, the bran,
then you have the endosperm
00:04:21.96\00:04:25.39
which is the white part
00:04:25.43\00:04:26.76
and at the bottom
you have that germ,
00:04:26.80\00:04:28.13
you know, many time they process
00:04:28.16\00:04:29.50
and they rip the germ off
and they take the fiber off
00:04:29.53\00:04:31.97
and they take the germ
and they put it in a glass jar
00:04:32.00\00:04:34.17
and then they take that fiber,
00:04:34.20\00:04:35.54
add a little bit of sugar to it
00:04:35.57\00:04:36.91
and put it in a box
called as wheat bran,
00:04:36.94\00:04:39.31
wheat bran flakes and they say
00:04:39.34\00:04:41.01
always get your
what, your fiber in...
00:04:41.04\00:04:42.44
Your fiber in.
00:04:42.48\00:04:43.81
And then they take the germ
off and put it in a glass jar
00:04:43.85\00:04:46.18
and then they always say,
00:04:46.21\00:04:47.55
add your wheat
germ to the bran flakes
00:04:47.58\00:04:51.19
and I am like, why don't
you just keep it all together.
00:04:51.22\00:04:53.82
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
00:04:53.86\00:04:55.46
I mean, it's great thing so,
00:04:55.49\00:04:56.83
you're taking us back
to the basics here today
00:04:56.86\00:04:59.43
of using the oat groats,
00:04:59.46\00:05:01.36
and we set up a
little something here.
00:05:01.40\00:05:04.43
A lot of people don't realize
what a oat groat looks like,
00:05:04.47\00:05:06.77
okay.
00:05:06.80\00:05:08.14
When we think of oats,
we think of this right here,
00:05:08.17\00:05:10.07
you see that's what is
known as a rolled oat, you see,
00:05:10.11\00:05:12.94
they squished up here for
you so that's a rolled oat,
00:05:12.97\00:05:16.71
they rolled it out for you.
00:05:16.75\00:05:18.08
So yeah, it cooks a
little bit different,
00:05:18.11\00:05:20.05
but if you notice here and here
00:05:20.08\00:05:22.08
this is what is
known as a oat groat,
00:05:22.12\00:05:23.95
this is how it's actually grown.
00:05:23.99\00:05:25.82
Exactly and what the oat,
the oat flakes are steamed,
00:05:25.85\00:05:30.83
they steam this and then
they put a roller through it.
00:05:30.86\00:05:33.70
Come on now, so somebody
is teaching us today here.
00:05:33.73\00:05:36.60
Yeah.
00:05:36.63\00:05:37.97
You know, you know,
because a lot of people say,
00:05:38.00\00:05:39.33
"Oh I eat my oat, rolled oats"
and they say, "I eat it raw."
00:05:39.37\00:05:43.47
But it's actually still been...
00:05:43.51\00:05:44.97
- Cooked. - Cooked a little bit.
00:05:45.01\00:05:46.34
It's been steamed.
00:05:46.37\00:05:47.71
Because if you just try to
squish this little oat groat,
00:05:47.74\00:05:49.74
you see the oat
groat almost look like,
00:05:49.78\00:05:51.28
right here we have
that brown rice, right.
00:05:51.31\00:05:53.31
So it almost look
like a big brown rice.
00:05:53.35\00:05:55.32
This is the huge brown rice.
00:05:55.35\00:05:56.69
If you just squish that there,
00:05:56.72\00:05:58.05
it will probably turn
into a flour or something...
00:05:58.09\00:05:59.42
Yeah, right.
00:05:59.45\00:06:00.79
So they have to
heat it as you mentioned.
00:06:00.82\00:06:02.16
They steam it. They
steam it a little bit.
00:06:02.19\00:06:03.53
So that makes it
what, a little soft.
00:06:03.56\00:06:04.96
Yeah, and then
they steam rolled it.
00:06:04.99\00:06:06.96
They rolled it.
00:06:07.00\00:06:09.03
They drive right over
00:06:09.06\00:06:10.40
that's what we see on
the highway and stuff.
00:06:10.43\00:06:11.77
So that's your oatmeal.
00:06:11.80\00:06:13.30
Not that per se
wrong with that I guess it,
00:06:13.34\00:06:15.97
it helps with the cooking time.
00:06:16.00\00:06:17.67
And what else,
00:06:17.71\00:06:19.41
so then they also
have that steel-cut stuff.
00:06:19.44\00:06:21.44
Yes, now that's this
and they just chop it up.
00:06:21.48\00:06:26.18
So watch this.
00:06:26.21\00:06:27.55
So they doesn't steam it
00:06:27.58\00:06:28.92
and then they
chop it up for you,
00:06:28.95\00:06:30.29
that's steel-cut.
00:06:30.32\00:06:31.65
Yeah, steel cut.
00:06:31.69\00:06:33.02
They don't chop, they
don't steam the steel-cut.
00:06:33.05\00:06:35.12
It's just this grain
and they just chop it up.
00:06:35.16\00:06:37.13
Right, so they take that
00:06:37.16\00:06:38.49
and then they
just chop that up here.
00:06:38.53\00:06:39.86
So that may be
an option as well.
00:06:39.89\00:06:41.23
It's a little
better. It's a little better.
00:06:41.26\00:06:42.60
Okay, so you can, you
can use different ones here.
00:06:42.63\00:06:44.63
So we have the brown
rice and you see the oat groat
00:06:44.67\00:06:46.97
looks similar to
that of the brown rice.
00:06:47.00\00:06:48.40
What we have here
is also, buckwheat.
00:06:48.44\00:06:50.87
You know, many times
people will say it's a grain
00:06:50.91\00:06:52.97
or whatever, it's
actually like a seed of a fruit
00:06:53.01\00:06:55.04
but they fall into that.
00:06:55.08\00:06:56.48
They put it into like
similar categories there
00:06:56.51\00:06:58.51
with the grain.
00:06:58.55\00:06:59.88
Now all of these are vital.
00:06:59.91\00:07:01.25
Now these are the
healthy grains for you
00:07:01.28\00:07:03.79
or as you said the
seed, the seed of the fruit
00:07:03.82\00:07:06.35
and this is very
good for diabetics also.
00:07:06.39\00:07:08.42
It's very good.
00:07:08.46\00:07:09.79
Because as we see,
it releases the sugar,
00:07:09.82\00:07:13.70
you know, the endosperm,
00:07:13.73\00:07:15.06
it releases that
glucose slowly but surely,
00:07:15.10\00:07:17.10
so then a diabetic,
00:07:17.13\00:07:18.47
their blood sugars
will increase a little bit
00:07:18.50\00:07:20.44
and then 3-4 hours then
it will come down again.
00:07:20.47\00:07:22.70
But when you use a
refined grain like white rice
00:07:22.74\00:07:26.21
or white flour
something like that
00:07:26.24\00:07:28.41
because it
doesn't have that fiber
00:07:28.44\00:07:29.78
when it go through digestion,
00:07:29.81\00:07:31.15
what happens,
Evita, it just goes.
00:07:31.18\00:07:32.78
And it shoots up and
then in about hour or two
00:07:32.81\00:07:35.48
what happens, it
comes crashing back down.
00:07:35.52\00:07:38.09
So who knew that these
cookies will be actually helpful
00:07:38.12\00:07:41.52
however in a recipe
00:07:41.56\00:07:42.89
and we'll look at that
in a little while here.
00:07:42.92\00:07:44.89
We do have some sweetness
here and so a diabetic,
00:07:44.93\00:07:47.10
you may have to just
take it easy a little bit
00:07:47.13\00:07:49.33
because we're
gonna use z some dates
00:07:49.36\00:07:51.20
which is very high in
the glycemic index as well.
00:07:51.23\00:07:53.94
So the oats is phenomenal.
00:07:53.97\00:07:56.14
We have the oat groat.
00:07:56.17\00:07:57.51
We have rolled
oats and steel cut oats
00:07:57.54\00:07:59.71
and so there's so
many different types of it.
00:07:59.74\00:08:02.21
Evita may even make up her
own oat or something like that.
00:08:02.24\00:08:05.08
Yeah.
00:08:05.11\00:08:06.45
So you have some of these items.
00:08:06.48\00:08:08.28
So this is gonna go
into our recipe today
00:08:08.32\00:08:11.92
and so what is
it called the raw?
00:08:11.95\00:08:14.89
It's raw oatmeal cherry cookies.
00:08:14.92\00:08:19.66
Raw oatmeal cherry cookies.
00:08:19.69\00:08:22.43
All right, that's a
mouthful and literally,
00:08:22.46\00:08:25.70
literally and so
let's take a look
00:08:25.73\00:08:27.94
at that recipe that
you're gonna make here
00:08:27.97\00:08:30.41
of the raw oatmeal...
00:08:30.44\00:08:31.77
Cherry cookies. Cherry cookies.
00:08:31.81\00:08:33.74
Here it is.
00:08:33.78\00:08:35.18
And this is gonna make
our raw oatmeal and cherry...
00:09:15.18\00:09:18.62
Cookie.
00:09:18.65\00:09:19.99
Cookies, so you see,
00:09:20.02\00:09:21.36
we see the word the
cookies in her mind.
00:09:21.39\00:09:22.82
There it is.
00:09:22.86\00:09:24.19
So where do we start
with this recipe here?
00:09:24.23\00:09:25.96
Well, I wanted
to show the people
00:09:25.99\00:09:27.33
how you take the
oat groats to a flour
00:09:27.36\00:09:29.96
because this is kind of
like a coarsely grain flour.
00:09:30.00\00:09:32.73
Okay, Okay.
00:09:32.77\00:09:34.10
So the oat
groats in its big form
00:09:34.14\00:09:35.90
that may take few hours to cook.
00:09:35.94\00:09:37.84
Yes.
00:09:37.87\00:09:39.21
So what we can do is as you said
00:09:39.24\00:09:41.21
you're gonna show us how to
break that down a little bit
00:09:41.24\00:09:43.14
so we're gonna make
that oat groat flour.
00:09:43.18\00:09:44.51
Now you can do it.
00:09:44.55\00:09:45.88
Yeah, if you're
doing a large amount,
00:09:45.91\00:09:47.25
you could do it
in your blender...
00:09:47.28\00:09:49.28
Yeah, all right.
00:09:49.32\00:09:50.65
But I have a
little coffee grinder here
00:09:50.69\00:09:52.12
to just show a
little small amount.
00:09:52.15\00:09:53.49
Okay, excellent,
00:09:53.52\00:09:54.86
so we're gonna
take this and grind.
00:09:54.89\00:09:56.22
Yeah. Just put a little in here.
00:09:56.26\00:09:57.59
Let me just move
this stuff out of the way.
00:09:57.63\00:09:59.09
Okay. All right.
00:09:59.13\00:10:00.50
And then we just put
that on, we're gonna zip it.
00:10:00.53\00:10:03.37
Just like that. Really chop off.
00:10:03.40\00:10:05.30
And it turns into a
coarsely grained flour.
00:10:09.00\00:10:13.78
Wow.
00:10:13.81\00:10:16.48
Literally no need
to go to the store
00:10:16.51\00:10:19.21
and like buy flour any more.
00:10:19.25\00:10:20.72
If you get it in
its natural form,
00:10:20.75\00:10:22.55
you just go ahead
00:10:22.58\00:10:23.92
and you just
grind it up real quick.
00:10:23.95\00:10:25.29
And anybody where, they can
get that at a local super market
00:10:25.32\00:10:29.42
or something like that,
this small little device.
00:10:29.46\00:10:31.83
Yeah, at the department store.
00:10:31.86\00:10:33.36
Department store? Yeah.
00:10:33.40\00:10:36.13
And you just grind it up.
00:10:36.16\00:10:37.50
Just real simple.
00:10:37.53\00:10:38.93
And so now we have
our oat groat flour.
00:10:38.97\00:10:43.24
Oat groat flour to make our...
00:10:43.27\00:10:44.81
I'll take that for you,
00:10:44.84\00:10:46.17
to make our
oatmeal cookies here.
00:10:46.21\00:10:47.84
Yes.
00:10:47.88\00:10:49.21
I had to do something in here,
00:10:49.24\00:10:50.65
you know what I mean,
I talk all the time so.
00:10:50.68\00:10:52.58
I forgot to
coarsely grind the almonds.
00:10:52.61\00:10:56.18
So we're gonna do
that really quick.
00:10:56.22\00:10:58.12
Hey, when we're in the kitchen,
anytime is good time to do it.
00:10:58.15\00:11:01.96
So I'm just gonna put it in here
00:11:01.99\00:11:03.32
and just we're gonna
just whistle real quickly.
00:11:03.36\00:11:05.19
Okay.
00:11:05.23\00:11:06.56
Just pop.
00:11:06.59\00:11:07.93
Okay, they're still
chunky but they went fine.
00:11:12.03\00:11:14.64
So you chop
that up a little bit.
00:11:14.67\00:11:16.17
Chop it a little bit more.
00:11:16.20\00:11:17.54
All right, so we chop
it up a little bit more.
00:11:17.57\00:11:18.91
Yeah.
00:11:18.94\00:11:20.28
Okay.
00:11:24.41\00:11:25.75
Watch it, you're
making bits over there, Evita,
00:11:25.78\00:11:27.68
I don't know if you're cooking
00:11:27.72\00:11:29.05
or you're making it
loose it in the kitchen here.
00:11:29.08\00:11:31.35
So we have the almonds there.
00:11:31.39\00:11:32.72
Now, we don't
want to do it too long
00:11:32.75\00:11:34.09
'cause then it will
probably turn into almond flour.
00:11:34.12\00:11:36.09
All right, we're
doing oat flour today...
00:11:36.12\00:11:37.86
We still want it chunky.
00:11:37.89\00:11:39.23
Not almond flour.
00:11:39.26\00:11:40.73
We want it chunky.
00:11:40.76\00:11:42.10
So we have the almonds
00:11:42.13\00:11:43.47
and almonds are
phenomenal for many individuals.
00:11:43.50\00:11:46.84
It's very good for the bones
00:11:46.87\00:11:48.30
actually when they look at
some of the comparisons there,
00:11:48.34\00:11:51.04
they show that almond is,
almond milk is just as good.
00:11:51.07\00:11:54.78
It has quite a bit of vitamins
00:11:54.81\00:11:56.14
and minerals as
even regular cow's milk.
00:11:56.18\00:11:58.85
Also the almonds
00:11:58.88\00:12:00.22
they're very good
for the nervous system,
00:12:00.25\00:12:01.78
they help to invigorate
and stimulate the brain,
00:12:01.82\00:12:04.29
you know what I mean, so
we can be as smart as Evita.
00:12:04.32\00:12:06.45
You're right.
00:12:06.49\00:12:07.82
And so almonds is good for that,
00:12:07.86\00:12:10.63
also it's very good
00:12:10.66\00:12:11.99
'cause it helps to
lower the cholesterol,
00:12:12.03\00:12:14.26
you know, so a
lot of individuals
00:12:14.30\00:12:15.96
who have like high cholesterol
00:12:16.00\00:12:17.40
and while the key is
of course to find out
00:12:17.43\00:12:19.43
what is causing that
cholesterol to do what?
00:12:19.47\00:12:21.20
Go up.
00:12:21.24\00:12:22.57
So if we can eliminate
00:12:22.60\00:12:23.94
what's causing that
cholesterol to go up,
00:12:23.97\00:12:25.31
whether it'd be stress
or whether it'd be like,
00:12:25.34\00:12:27.48
you know,
different things on a diet,
00:12:27.51\00:12:28.84
that's why we
want you all to cook
00:12:28.88\00:12:30.65
with the recipes
that we're making
00:12:30.68\00:12:32.01
'cause they're cholesterol free.
00:12:32.05\00:12:34.12
And so once we get that
out, then you can use almonds,
00:12:34.15\00:12:37.12
you can make the almond milk,
00:12:37.15\00:12:38.52
you just add some
water in a blender,
00:12:38.55\00:12:40.82
you can make cookies.
00:12:40.86\00:12:42.19
Who knew that cookies,
raw oatmeal cranberry...
00:12:42.22\00:12:45.56
No, cherry.
00:12:45.59\00:12:46.93
Oops, sorry... Our
raw oatmeal cherry.
00:12:46.96\00:12:49.53
Something,
something an apple cookies
00:12:49.56\00:12:51.77
but actually,
will actually be good.
00:12:51.80\00:12:53.74
Look at me, I'm
already getting dizzy
00:12:53.77\00:12:55.27
how tasty this
thing is gonna be.
00:12:55.30\00:12:56.97
All right, so...
00:12:57.01\00:12:58.34
So we're using
our whole apples...
00:12:58.37\00:12:59.71
Okay. So the whole apple.
00:12:59.74\00:13:01.08
As the base.
00:13:01.11\00:13:02.44
And I'm going to
kind of quart them,
00:13:02.48\00:13:05.61
just cut them up.
00:13:05.65\00:13:06.98
All right, so we're
gonna chop up the apples.
00:13:07.02\00:13:08.35
You know what they
say, "a apple a day
00:13:08.38\00:13:10.09
will keeps disease away."
00:13:10.12\00:13:12.69
We don't want to keep
the doctor away, all right.
00:13:12.72\00:13:14.32
No, we want to
keep disease away.
00:13:14.36\00:13:16.29
'Cause it's good to go get
yourself checked out and stuff
00:13:16.32\00:13:18.26
but now if you start
eating a little bit more apples,
00:13:18.29\00:13:20.13
then we could
keep the disease away
00:13:20.16\00:13:21.56
and when you go
to visit the doctor,
00:13:21.60\00:13:23.03
the doctor will say,
hey, whatever you're doing,
00:13:23.06\00:13:24.57
keep doing it, teach me,
00:13:24.60\00:13:26.67
teach me how I
can do that as well.
00:13:26.70\00:13:28.47
All right, so we have...
00:13:28.50\00:13:29.84
we're gonna chop
up those apples there.
00:13:29.87\00:13:31.71
Man, I'll tell
you a little secret.
00:13:31.74\00:13:33.38
Okay.
00:13:33.41\00:13:34.74
A little secret, those
nice little cores there.
00:13:34.78\00:13:36.11
Yes.
00:13:36.14\00:13:37.48
When I used to eat the apple,
00:13:37.51\00:13:38.85
I used to actually
eat the whole thing
00:13:38.88\00:13:40.22
a long time ago,
00:13:40.25\00:13:41.58
I'm putting out
my business here.
00:13:41.62\00:13:42.95
Okay.
00:13:42.98\00:13:44.32
I used to think that
if we ate the apple seed,
00:13:44.35\00:13:45.69
it will go down and
make a nice little tree,
00:13:45.72\00:13:47.06
and I will be, I
will live forever.
00:13:47.09\00:13:48.42
You know what I mean.
00:13:48.46\00:13:49.79
So it's so funny, I
was on the plane other day
00:13:49.82\00:13:51.59
and I was eating
00:13:51.63\00:13:52.96
and the flight
attendant keep coming by
00:13:52.99\00:13:54.53
and she's like you want
me to throw away the core.
00:13:54.56\00:13:56.26
I am like, no this is mine.
00:13:56.30\00:13:57.97
And I ate it all and
she was like what is that?
00:13:58.00\00:14:01.20
She says, are you hungry,
would you like some more food?
00:14:01.24\00:14:03.30
I said, no that's
just how I ate it.
00:14:03.34\00:14:05.41
I do the same thing.
00:14:05.44\00:14:06.78
Look at that, so...
00:14:06.81\00:14:08.14
Because there's a
lot of fiber in here.
00:14:08.18\00:14:09.51
Fiber as well.
00:14:09.54\00:14:10.88
Fiber as well.
00:14:10.91\00:14:12.25
And one person said the
seeds have cyanide in it.
00:14:12.28\00:14:13.62
I said, well, they
used it as medicine,
00:14:13.65\00:14:14.98
so I'm gonna
eat my medicine now.
00:14:15.02\00:14:16.35
You know what I
mean. Exactly. Exactly.
00:14:16.38\00:14:17.72
So we're going to take this
00:14:17.75\00:14:20.19
and we're going to grate it up.
00:14:20.22\00:14:22.66
We're just going
to drop that in there.
00:14:22.69\00:14:26.09
All right.
00:14:26.13\00:14:27.46
Load it up in there.
00:14:32.00\00:14:35.80
And this is cool.
00:14:35.84\00:14:37.17
I like this, because you don't
ever have to wash the thing.
00:14:37.21\00:14:39.04
It's all gonna...
00:14:39.07\00:14:40.41
it's gonna all
get together anyway,
00:14:40.44\00:14:42.01
so just keep it moving.
00:14:42.04\00:14:43.38
Exactly.
00:14:43.41\00:14:44.75
A lot of times, people
don't like to make recipes
00:14:44.78\00:14:46.51
because it
takes too much cooking
00:14:46.55\00:14:48.75
and this and that.
00:14:48.88\00:14:50.22
But that's why I'm on this show
00:14:50.25\00:14:51.59
because I cook,
00:14:51.62\00:14:53.46
but if I can make it
fast, I'm gonna do that.
00:14:53.49\00:14:55.72
Exactly.
00:14:55.76\00:14:57.09
And this is really quick...
00:14:57.13\00:14:58.46
the only thing that
takes time is the dehydration.
00:14:58.49\00:15:01.56
Okay.
00:15:01.60\00:15:03.80
Well, they say,
you eat fast food,
00:15:03.83\00:15:05.83
you live a fast life.
00:15:05.87\00:15:07.20
Here today going tonight.
00:15:07.24\00:15:08.67
If you eat slow
food, you live forever.
00:15:08.70\00:15:11.21
There it is, so.
00:15:11.24\00:15:12.57
And we want to live forever.
00:15:12.61\00:15:16.01
Okay.
00:15:16.04\00:15:17.38
We got them grated up,
00:15:17.41\00:15:18.75
so we gonna take
this out. Done deal.
00:15:18.78\00:15:20.12
Let me get a
little piece right here...
00:15:20.15\00:15:21.55
All right,
00:15:21.58\00:15:22.92
I don't know but I
want to lay it around it.
00:15:22.95\00:15:25.55
So we also did it with
the skin a lot of time,
00:15:25.59\00:15:27.56
fiber... Exactly, good fiber.
00:15:27.59\00:15:28.92
A lot of vitamins and minerals
00:15:28.96\00:15:30.53
are actually stored in the skin.
00:15:30.56\00:15:31.89
So what you do is
you just wash up nice
00:15:31.93\00:15:33.26
and properly.
00:15:33.29\00:15:34.63
Sometimes they
have little fruit spray,
00:15:34.66\00:15:36.00
I know everybody
is concerned about,
00:15:36.03\00:15:37.37
oh pesticides... Exactly.
00:15:37.40\00:15:38.73
And this and that.
00:15:38.77\00:15:40.10
Look, if you're
really concerned,
00:15:40.14\00:15:41.47
grow your own tree. Exactly.
00:15:41.50\00:15:42.84
Don't complain
00:15:42.87\00:15:44.21
and if you
don't have a tree yet,
00:15:44.24\00:15:45.57
it's gonna take a little
while, then what you can do
00:15:45.61\00:15:46.94
you can use some
of those fruit sprays
00:15:46.98\00:15:48.31
to clean that off nicely.
00:15:48.34\00:15:49.68
But may I eat the skin? Yeah.
00:15:49.71\00:15:51.18
You ready for this? Yeah.
00:15:51.21\00:15:52.58
I know people say,
well, it's too rough going in.
00:15:52.61\00:15:54.45
There's a little tip here.
00:15:54.48\00:15:55.82
If you eat
something and it's rough.
00:15:55.85\00:15:57.59
If it goes in rough, it
normally comes out soft.
00:15:57.62\00:16:02.42
You made that
sound delicious there.
00:16:02.46\00:16:05.09
Well, and if you
eat something softly,
00:16:05.13\00:16:07.13
it usually doesn't come
out or it comes out rough.
00:16:07.16\00:16:09.36
So I know we're
trying to cook here today.
00:16:09.40\00:16:10.83
Were not gonna talk
about digestion one on one.
00:16:10.87\00:16:13.00
But make sure you
get some good fiber
00:16:13.03\00:16:15.37
and just wash it
properly as well.
00:16:15.40\00:16:18.31
Okay, so we went ahead
and we, what do we do here?
00:16:18.34\00:16:20.94
We grated it up.
00:16:20.98\00:16:22.31
We grated it up. Okay.
00:16:22.34\00:16:23.68
So now we have
our medjool dates.
00:16:23.71\00:16:25.71
Medjool? Yes.
00:16:25.75\00:16:27.45
Watch it now.
00:16:27.48\00:16:28.82
And they have been pitted.
00:16:28.85\00:16:30.32
Very nice.
00:16:30.35\00:16:31.69
And soaked, makes them softer.
00:16:31.72\00:16:33.69
So they'd been
pitted and soaked.
00:16:33.72\00:16:35.29
Yeah, because normally in
the stores you'll see them
00:16:35.32\00:16:37.03
and they're little rough
and tough and stuff like that.
00:16:37.06\00:16:39.19
I was actually
in the Middle East.
00:16:39.23\00:16:40.90
I mean, these dates
you know, as we had them.
00:16:40.93\00:16:43.77
They were literally
melting in your mouth,
00:16:43.80\00:16:45.87
forget about those little
chocolate candies and stuff,
00:16:45.90\00:16:48.07
they talk about
melting in your mouth.
00:16:48.10\00:16:49.44
The dates over there
00:16:49.47\00:16:50.81
were literally
melting in my mouth.
00:16:50.84\00:16:52.17
I'm like what
happened to the dates
00:16:52.21\00:16:53.54
by the time they
got to the States,
00:16:53.58\00:16:54.91
I guess the travel time,
they got harder and stale.
00:16:54.94\00:16:56.64
But don't worry we have
access to the hard ones.
00:16:56.68\00:16:59.65
So what do you
do, you just pit it
00:16:59.68\00:17:01.02
and you just soak it.
00:17:01.05\00:17:02.38
Soak them and it makes
it, you see how soft they are.
00:17:02.42\00:17:04.32
Oh, yeah. Yeah...
00:17:04.35\00:17:05.69
It's actually looking like
it's melting already there.
00:17:05.72\00:17:07.89
Yeah.
00:17:07.92\00:17:09.26
Some people even use that
00:17:09.29\00:17:10.63
to make a nice
little paste out of it.
00:17:10.66\00:17:12.73
You can put that
instead of jelly and stuff,
00:17:12.76\00:17:15.43
you can keep that
on your bread as well.
00:17:15.46\00:17:17.03
So I just mix this up together
00:17:17.07\00:17:20.30
and make it into a paste.
00:17:20.34\00:17:23.67
All right.
00:17:23.71\00:17:25.04
That's it, so we're
making some headway here.
00:17:30.55\00:17:32.75
We made that into a
paste just real quick
00:17:32.78\00:17:34.62
as you were
talking about those dates.
00:17:34.65\00:17:36.32
Now real quick for diabetics,
00:17:36.35\00:17:38.39
it's probably not something
that is too recommended
00:17:38.42\00:17:40.76
that they use the dates
00:17:40.79\00:17:42.12
because it is very high,
has a high glycemic index.
00:17:42.16\00:17:46.46
All right, so,
I'm sorry about that.
00:17:46.49\00:17:48.70
But hurry up, and eat
some good healthy grains.
00:17:48.73\00:17:50.87
Let's get our blood
sugars back to normal
00:17:50.90\00:17:52.50
so we can enjoy
the dates. Enjoy that.
00:17:52.53\00:17:54.34
So don't be
eating all these dates
00:17:54.37\00:17:56.30
and then your
blood sugar goes up
00:17:56.34\00:17:57.71
and you're like, oh Nyse said,
00:17:57.74\00:17:59.41
so don't say Nyse,
say Evita, you know.
00:17:59.44\00:18:01.64
We don't want you to
have trouble here, all right.
00:18:01.68\00:18:03.41
So just be careful,
00:18:03.45\00:18:04.78
there's just a little
recommendation for people
00:18:04.81\00:18:06.21
dealing with the blood
sugar issues there, all right.
00:18:06.25\00:18:08.62
So we have the dates,
and what else we gonna have?
00:18:08.65\00:18:10.25
And then we have some agave.
00:18:10.29\00:18:11.62
Agave. Yeah.
00:18:11.65\00:18:12.99
Okay.
00:18:13.02\00:18:14.49
So that's a syrup, so...
00:18:14.52\00:18:15.86
That's a syrup,
you can use honey.
00:18:15.89\00:18:17.23
You can use honey.
Yeah. You can use honey.
00:18:17.26\00:18:18.59
I guess the honey
has that flavor...
00:18:18.63\00:18:20.16
Yes.
00:18:20.20\00:18:21.53
And the thing, or
what about maple syrup?
00:18:21.56\00:18:22.90
You can use maple syrup also.
00:18:22.93\00:18:24.27
Hey, look at that.
00:18:24.30\00:18:25.63
So you have all
the options to do this.
00:18:25.67\00:18:27.77
Now we're doing
the dates and the...
00:18:27.80\00:18:31.17
the syrup
because normally remember
00:18:31.21\00:18:33.41
as Evita said in the beginning,
00:18:33.44\00:18:34.81
when we cook cookies,
00:18:34.84\00:18:36.18
one of the main ingredients
00:18:36.21\00:18:37.55
that we put is sugar. Is sugar.
00:18:37.58\00:18:38.91
So, now let's go
with the all natural item.
00:18:38.95\00:18:40.62
Yes.
00:18:40.65\00:18:41.98
And the dates and the
agave together kind of gives it
00:18:42.02\00:18:45.59
that kind of brown
sugar kind of taste.
00:18:45.62\00:18:47.62
Hmm.
00:18:47.66\00:18:48.99
Watch it now. Yeah.
00:18:49.02\00:18:50.36
You know what she said,
kind of like that brown sugar
00:18:50.39\00:18:52.13
because normally what
brown sugar is only white sugar
00:18:52.16\00:18:54.13
and they throw some molasses.
00:18:54.16\00:18:55.50
It's a wolf in sheep clothing.
00:18:55.53\00:18:57.73
A wolf in sheep
clothing. All right.
00:18:57.77\00:18:59.60
That's what it is.
So stay away from that.
00:18:59.63\00:19:00.97
But you can use your own,
your own natural one as well.
00:19:01.00\00:19:03.27
Yeah.
00:19:03.30\00:19:04.64
And a little salt to
balance the sugar and the sweet.
00:19:04.67\00:19:07.18
Yes.
00:19:07.21\00:19:08.54
That's vital. Yeah.
00:19:08.58\00:19:09.91
Just do that all together.
00:19:09.94\00:19:14.62
You over here mixing.
00:19:14.65\00:19:15.98
Yes, we are,
that's what we're doing.
00:19:16.02\00:19:17.59
All right. And then we put...
00:19:17.62\00:19:20.19
Now we get the oat groats going.
00:19:20.22\00:19:22.02
But this is the oat groat.
00:19:22.06\00:19:23.39
This is the oat groat flour.
00:19:23.43\00:19:24.76
Oat groat flour.
00:19:24.79\00:19:26.13
And we're making our batter.
00:19:26.16\00:19:27.50
This is where we're
gonna make our batter.
00:19:27.53\00:19:29.20
You see it looks
like cookie batter.
00:19:33.74\00:19:35.37
This is quite...
00:19:35.40\00:19:36.74
It's pretty amazing.
00:19:36.77\00:19:38.87
You can do this.
This is really simple.
00:19:38.91\00:19:40.58
You can get it going.
00:19:40.61\00:19:41.94
Now...
00:19:46.72\00:19:49.18
Now, we're making
some headway here,
00:19:49.22\00:19:50.55
it started to look
like that, those cookie...
00:19:50.59\00:19:52.39
the cookie dough. Yeah.
00:19:52.42\00:19:54.79
Remember when you used
to make the cookie dough,
00:19:54.82\00:19:56.16
you used to like,
00:19:56.19\00:19:57.53
why you're trying
to make that cookies
00:19:57.56\00:19:58.89
you like take a little
bite when mom is not looking us.
00:19:58.93\00:20:00.96
Exactly. Exactly.
00:20:01.00\00:20:02.33
You almost ate it raw. Exactly.
00:20:02.36\00:20:04.27
Well, now you can
eat raw cookie dough
00:20:04.30\00:20:06.50
'cause this stuff is good.
00:20:06.53\00:20:07.87
If you wanted to.
00:20:07.90\00:20:09.24
And there's no eggs or anything.
00:20:09.27\00:20:11.07
So you don't
have to worry about--
00:20:11.11\00:20:13.21
Watch it now.
00:20:13.24\00:20:14.58
Yeah, you don't
wanna get that...
00:20:14.61\00:20:16.38
what do we, we
just have some apples
00:20:16.41\00:20:17.98
and some dates and...
00:20:18.01\00:20:20.52
A little bit of... Oat groats.
00:20:20.55\00:20:23.05
Oat groats and a couple
of other items there, so.
00:20:23.08\00:20:25.32
Some almond extract. Okay.
00:20:25.35\00:20:28.02
Are we gonna need this?
No, we are done with that.
00:20:28.06\00:20:29.62
All right. Let me do my job.
00:20:29.66\00:20:31.79
I'm the cleaning man today.
00:20:31.83\00:20:33.40
I forgot the almond extract
so I'm just going to pour in
00:20:33.43\00:20:36.16
and just mix it up a little bit.
00:20:36.20\00:20:38.33
I forgot to put it in.
00:20:38.37\00:20:39.70
Oh, no, no, no,
you didn't forget.
00:20:39.73\00:20:41.07
You just saved
the best for last.
00:20:41.10\00:20:42.67
All right
00:20:42.70\00:20:44.04
Okay, we've got
to take the almonds
00:20:44.07\00:20:45.41
and put it in there.
00:20:45.44\00:20:46.78
So now we will use that
almond that we chopped up.
00:20:46.81\00:20:48.58
Yes.
00:20:48.61\00:20:49.94
I love nuts and cookies.
00:20:49.98\00:20:51.95
Look at that, it's crucial.
00:20:51.98\00:20:53.82
It's crucial that
you have that there.
00:20:53.85\00:20:55.58
So you have the almonds,
let's say didn't have almonds,
00:20:55.62\00:20:58.02
could they add like
another nut or something?
00:20:58.05\00:20:59.39
They could use pecans.
00:20:59.42\00:21:01.02
They could use pecans,
walnuts, or different nuts.
00:21:01.06\00:21:02.76
Walnuts, yeah.
00:21:02.79\00:21:04.13
Which is basically a nut
of your choice if you want.
00:21:04.16\00:21:06.16
Yeah. Okay.
00:21:06.19\00:21:07.80
And you can leave the nuts
out if you have a nut allergy.
00:21:07.83\00:21:10.50
This is true.
00:21:10.53\00:21:11.87
This is true. Yeah.
00:21:11.90\00:21:13.23
You can put maybe seeds as well.
00:21:13.27\00:21:14.60
Yeah, you put
some sunflower seeds.
00:21:14.64\00:21:16.44
Look at that.
00:21:16.47\00:21:17.81
And then we have cherries.
00:21:17.84\00:21:20.01
Watch it now.
00:21:20.04\00:21:21.38
Now, you gotta tell
them about cherries,
00:21:21.41\00:21:22.74
because you know
cherries are secret.
00:21:22.78\00:21:25.78
A load of secret,
00:21:25.81\00:21:27.15
a lot of people
don't eat cherries
00:21:27.18\00:21:28.52
but cherries are amazing.
00:21:28.55\00:21:29.98
It's good for arthritis. Okay.
00:21:30.02\00:21:31.65
Look, so cherry is
fantastic for that.
00:21:31.69\00:21:34.62
Also like people who are looking
00:21:34.66\00:21:35.99
to balance their blessings.
00:21:36.02\00:21:37.36
You remember, we don't say
anybody is fat or skinny...
00:21:37.39\00:21:39.13
We find that
cherries is very good,
00:21:39.16\00:21:40.73
because it gives
you that satisfaction,
00:21:40.76\00:21:42.43
it gives you that
extra satisfaction early
00:21:42.46\00:21:44.40
so then you actually eat less.
00:21:44.43\00:21:46.10
So they use cherries
a lot sometime in diet,
00:21:46.13\00:21:48.34
but we don't do diets,
we just live the lifestyle.
00:21:48.37\00:21:50.57
So enjoy the cherries.
00:21:50.61\00:21:51.94
But normally you know that
cherries are certain color.
00:21:51.97\00:21:54.48
These cherries...
what happened to them?
00:21:54.51\00:21:56.11
These are bing cherries.
00:21:56.14\00:21:57.75
Bing?
00:21:57.78\00:21:59.11
Yeah, they have been dehydrated.
00:21:59.15\00:22:01.38
You know, like raisins dry.
00:22:01.42\00:22:02.98
And I soaked them.
00:22:03.02\00:22:05.25
So, when they
dried they get dark.
00:22:05.29\00:22:08.52
Okay.
00:22:08.56\00:22:09.89
Yeah. Look at that.
00:22:09.92\00:22:11.26
So it doesn't mean
that it's bad for you
00:22:11.29\00:22:12.63
anything like that.
00:22:12.66\00:22:14.00
Just like with
the apricots there.
00:22:14.03\00:22:15.36
When they per se
don't have the sulfur,
00:22:15.40\00:22:16.73
they get little
dark and they dry, so...
00:22:16.77\00:22:18.10
And these are having
a sulfur on it or sugar.
00:22:18.13\00:22:20.40
Dead as, this man,
00:22:20.44\00:22:21.77
this is the
double, double whammy
00:22:21.80\00:22:23.30
Exactly. Exactly.
00:22:23.34\00:22:24.67
So, we'll just
add that in. Yeah.
00:22:24.71\00:22:26.41
We just wanna add this in.
00:22:26.44\00:22:27.91
And if you soak
them in a lot of water.
00:22:27.94\00:22:30.45
You want to keep this water,
00:22:30.48\00:22:31.81
because this water
is an extra blessing.
00:22:31.85\00:22:34.42
Oh, man, that
thing is nutritious.
00:22:34.45\00:22:36.25
It's almost like cherry juice
as extract almost a little bit.
00:22:36.28\00:22:39.45
You could add this to
juice or smoothies or whatever.
00:22:39.49\00:22:42.79
Let me show you
what to do with that,
00:22:42.82\00:22:44.46
I'll just put that
here and I'll pray.
00:22:44.49\00:22:47.06
And because have you seen
00:22:47.10\00:22:48.90
a price of the
cherry extract in a store.
00:22:48.93\00:22:51.97
It's so expensive.
00:22:52.00\00:22:53.34
Have mercy, it was like $27
and the bottle was like this...
00:22:53.37\00:22:55.57
Yes. I'm like what.
00:22:55.60\00:22:56.94
Let me buy some cherries, and...
00:22:56.97\00:22:58.84
Dry cherries and
you just soak it.
00:22:58.87\00:23:00.64
Or you can buy the
dry cherries and soak it
00:23:00.68\00:23:02.01
and then you get that,
00:23:02.04\00:23:03.38
that nice
little extract as well.
00:23:03.41\00:23:04.78
Exactly. Exactly. Okay.
00:23:04.81\00:23:06.51
So now we're going to do "oven".
00:23:06.55\00:23:12.05
'Cause it's like cookie.
00:23:12.09\00:23:13.69
All right,
don't say it too loud,
00:23:13.72\00:23:15.42
they may even hear us.
00:23:15.46\00:23:16.79
But we gotta put
that, get that rolling.
00:23:16.83\00:23:19.19
Is there a sheet
here, let me just step back.
00:23:19.23\00:23:20.96
Yeah, let's see it.
00:23:21.00\00:23:22.50
All right.
00:23:22.53\00:23:23.87
So we'll take that in
a deep hydrated sheet.
00:23:23.90\00:23:25.93
Let me just hold this one here
00:23:25.97\00:23:28.17
and get that going.
00:23:28.20\00:23:29.74
This is pretty nice,
00:23:29.77\00:23:31.11
so you won't burn
yourself in a dehydrator.
00:23:31.14\00:23:33.01
No. Okay.
00:23:33.04\00:23:34.38
The sheets, this is
made out of plastic,
00:23:34.41\00:23:35.74
so you're not going to...
00:23:35.78\00:23:38.51
Nobody would get hurt,
00:23:38.55\00:23:39.88
so even the kids can make this.
00:23:39.91\00:23:41.98
Yes.
00:23:42.02\00:23:43.35
And this is a good
recipe for kids to do.
00:23:43.39\00:23:45.92
Yeah, because it's easy, simple
00:23:45.95\00:23:48.36
and I even see kids
make this all by themselves.
00:23:48.39\00:23:51.79
Look at that, done deal.
00:23:51.83\00:23:53.40
So, moms make sure
00:23:53.43\00:23:54.76
you, you get the kids
a nice little dehydrator,
00:23:54.80\00:23:57.07
they can do all the
cookies that they want.
00:23:57.10\00:23:59.33
You don't have to worry
about them burning themselves,
00:23:59.37\00:24:01.90
and here's a
good thing about it.
00:24:01.94\00:24:03.57
It's very good for
children to start to learn
00:24:03.61\00:24:05.81
how to make some of
these simple recipes
00:24:05.84\00:24:07.58
at a young age, you know.
00:24:07.61\00:24:09.18
One of the writing said
that even by the age of eight
00:24:09.21\00:24:11.45
maybe even ten, the kid
should be able to handle
00:24:11.48\00:24:13.72
the affairs of the kitchen.
00:24:13.75\00:24:15.25
You know, so the
benefit for the parents
00:24:15.75\00:24:19.02
is the kids start cooking
00:24:19.05\00:24:21.29
and they don't
think that the supermarket
00:24:21.32\00:24:23.63
or the fast food
place is where the food is.
00:24:23.66\00:24:26.63
They learn how to make
the food themselves at home
00:24:26.66\00:24:29.56
and then who benefits as well,
00:24:29.60\00:24:30.97
by default the parents benefit,
00:24:31.00\00:24:32.73
because everyday,
every time they come home,
00:24:32.77\00:24:34.67
they have
delicious healthy recipes
00:24:34.70\00:24:37.44
that they can enjoy
00:24:37.47\00:24:38.94
and as Evita said, will
have all of the vitamins
00:24:38.97\00:24:41.51
and minerals still there.
00:24:41.54\00:24:43.45
So you can do
it anyway you want,
00:24:43.48\00:24:45.41
we have the cookie.
00:24:45.45\00:24:47.32
It's basically
just the cookie dough.
00:24:47.35\00:24:48.68
Yeah, I'm making them
just like little cookies
00:24:48.72\00:24:50.35
but you can also make
them into little bars.
00:24:50.39\00:24:53.39
This could be an
excellent trail mix,
00:24:53.42\00:24:54.99
if you want to throw
some extra stuff in it
00:24:55.02\00:24:56.86
like some sunflowers seeds,
00:24:56.89\00:24:58.23
and some pumpkin seeds
00:24:58.26\00:25:00.30
and you know maybe even raisins,
00:25:00.33\00:25:02.53
you could do that with
this bar and dehydrate it.
00:25:02.56\00:25:05.10
So you could, you know,
change it up a little bit.
00:25:05.13\00:25:07.67
And you know, I
was just thinking,
00:25:07.70\00:25:09.04
here you
mentioned about the raisins,
00:25:09.07\00:25:10.61
you could even do
the raisins in now.
00:25:10.64\00:25:11.97
You see normally, normally
when you put the raisins
00:25:12.01\00:25:14.51
in too early
00:25:14.54\00:25:15.88
like if you're
making granola or something,
00:25:15.91\00:25:17.25
they will pop in
the oven or whatever
00:25:17.28\00:25:18.61
but in the dehydrator you
will not have that problem.
00:25:18.65\00:25:21.05
Yeah. Yeah. So
that is fantastic.
00:25:21.08\00:25:23.55
So you can have
a trill mix cookie,
00:25:23.59\00:25:25.69
a trail mix cookie.
00:25:25.72\00:25:27.06
You just have to mix
it up a little bit there.
00:25:27.09\00:25:29.09
Exactly.
00:25:29.12\00:25:30.46
And, you know that you
have the oats as your base
00:25:30.49\00:25:32.89
and you could also throw in
some soaked buckwheat in it.
00:25:32.93\00:25:36.43
Wow!
00:25:36.46\00:25:37.80
You could do a lot
of different variations,
00:25:37.83\00:25:39.17
you can mix it up.
00:25:39.20\00:25:40.54
Because the buckwheat,
you can do the same thing
00:25:40.57\00:25:41.90
in that little coffee grinder.
00:25:41.94\00:25:43.27
Grinder, or you
could soak the buckwheat.
00:25:43.30\00:25:44.74
Okay.
00:25:44.77\00:25:46.11
And then just mix it in.
00:25:46.14\00:25:47.48
Just mix it in as well. Yeah.
00:25:47.51\00:25:48.84
Just mix, you want to
maybe soak it overnight.
00:25:48.88\00:25:50.21
Okay.
00:25:50.25\00:25:51.58
And then you just throw them in.
00:25:51.61\00:25:52.95
And that the
dehydrated buckwheat
00:25:52.98\00:25:54.85
will give it that
extra crunch like...
00:25:54.88\00:25:57.72
Yeah. Okay.
00:25:57.75\00:25:59.09
Quick, quick
question for you, Evita.
00:25:59.12\00:26:01.02
As you make these
delicious cookies,
00:26:01.06\00:26:03.49
let's say, somebody doesn't
have the oat groat there,
00:26:03.53\00:26:05.96
it's not sold in the area
00:26:05.99\00:26:07.33
but they only
have the rolled oats.
00:26:07.36\00:26:09.10
They can use that.
00:26:09.13\00:26:10.47
They can do that,
just do the same process...
00:26:10.50\00:26:11.83
Yeah, the same process.
00:26:11.87\00:26:13.20
And grind it up there
to a nice little flour.
00:26:13.23\00:26:15.47
Exactly.
00:26:15.50\00:26:16.84
And then you can easily,
00:26:16.87\00:26:20.24
you can easily just
continue the same recipe
00:26:20.28\00:26:22.64
and this is one
of the biggest thing
00:26:22.68\00:26:24.01
you probably
notice as well, Evita,
00:26:24.05\00:26:26.11
I ask people,
"Have you made a recipe?"
00:26:26.15\00:26:27.58
No, no, I don't
have time or this or that
00:26:27.62\00:26:29.68
or I don't have
all of the ingredients
00:26:29.72\00:26:31.35
is what I hear
all the times. Yes.
00:26:31.39\00:26:33.19
And there's no excuse for that.
00:26:33.22\00:26:34.72
Work with what you have.
00:26:34.76\00:26:36.09
If you got regular
oatmeal then use that,
00:26:36.12\00:26:38.06
quick oats, use that.
00:26:38.09\00:26:40.23
Maybe flour, if they just have
whole-wheat flour not as well.
00:26:40.26\00:26:43.16
No, the flour won't work.
00:26:43.20\00:26:44.93
So the flour won't work.
00:26:44.97\00:26:46.53
But use what you have
00:26:46.57\00:26:48.20
and try your best to
make some of these simple
00:26:48.24\00:26:50.54
and delicious recipes.
00:26:50.57\00:26:51.91
So this tray is
pretty much almost done.
00:26:51.94\00:26:54.08
I think this is something
that you all can enjoy.
00:26:54.11\00:26:56.54
We have the
cherry, I never really...
00:26:56.58\00:26:58.45
I can't remember having
a cookie with cherry in it,
00:26:58.48\00:27:01.22
so now you have
that cherry cookie.
00:27:01.25\00:27:03.99
What is it called?
00:27:04.02\00:27:05.35
The raw almond,
00:27:05.39\00:27:09.92
cherry, apple,
oatmeal, something.
00:27:09.96\00:27:13.60
You can basically make
it up yourself, you know.
00:27:13.63\00:27:15.86
So what's the next
step? We'll take this...
00:27:15.90\00:27:18.03
You gonna take this and
put it into the dehydrator.
00:27:18.07\00:27:19.47
Okay.
00:27:19.50\00:27:20.84
So I'm gonna take this
now, put this in the dehydrator
00:27:20.87\00:27:22.97
and then it's been here
for a little bit already.
00:27:23.00\00:27:25.87
Yeah. So I'm
just gonna take out.
00:27:25.91\00:27:27.24
Well, you know the
magic of television.
00:27:27.28\00:27:28.68
All right, so some
has already been made.
00:27:28.71\00:27:32.38
And so they tend
to shrink a little bit
00:27:32.41\00:27:34.55
when you dehydrate them.
00:27:34.58\00:27:36.52
But, here we have our, a cookie.
00:27:36.55\00:27:39.52
A cookie.
00:27:39.55\00:27:40.92
A raw oatmeal
something, something cookie.
00:27:40.96\00:27:45.19
I want you all to enjoy
00:27:45.23\00:27:46.56
because I know, I'm
about to enjoy these.
00:27:46.59\00:27:48.33
Evita, thank you so
much for having me here
00:27:48.36\00:27:50.07
where I could
learn how to make this
00:27:50.10\00:27:51.43
and you always say it
best how we should do this,
00:27:51.47\00:27:53.74
we should what...
00:27:53.77\00:27:55.10
Live life fresh.
00:27:55.14\00:27:57.61
Enjoy.
00:27:57.64\00:27:58.97
