00:00:10.81\00:00:13.98
Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
My name is Evita Tezeno.
00:00:31.46\00:00:35.16
Now there's a
challenge for most people,
00:00:35.20\00:00:37.37
they cannot come up
with new and innovative ideas
00:00:37.40\00:00:41.60
for dishes
00:00:41.64\00:00:42.97
and also using
unusual and exotic vegetables.
00:00:43.00\00:00:48.68
And I always say,
viewers eat the rainbow,
00:00:48.71\00:00:52.75
eat the rainbow.
00:00:52.78\00:00:54.12
Well, this dish is utilizing
a lot of different colors
00:00:54.15\00:00:57.62
and also an exotic
vegetable called the jicama.
00:00:57.65\00:01:02.76
But I have a
special treat today,
00:01:02.79\00:01:05.29
again I have my wonderful
bestie with me, Tiffanie.
00:01:05.33\00:01:09.96
Hi, lady. Hi.
00:01:10.00\00:01:11.60
How're you doing?
Welcome to the kitchen.
00:01:11.63\00:01:13.47
Thank you for having me. Yes.
00:01:13.50\00:01:15.74
So today, we're make
a cabbage jicama salad.
00:01:15.77\00:01:18.71
Cabbage?
00:01:18.74\00:01:20.08
Yes, a purple cabbage
00:01:20.11\00:01:21.44
and it's going to
have a walnuts topping
00:01:21.48\00:01:24.21
with a wonderful
creamy smoky French dressing.
00:01:24.25\00:01:28.35
Yes.
00:01:28.38\00:01:29.72
So we're going to read
the ingredients for that.
00:01:29.75\00:01:31.72
For the salad,
the ingredients are:
00:01:31.75\00:01:34.92
For the walnut
topping, the ingredients are:
00:01:53.61\00:01:56.38
For the creamy
smoked French dressing,
00:02:12.56\00:02:15.26
the ingredients are:
00:02:15.30\00:02:17.17
So Tiffanie... Yes.
00:02:43.49\00:02:45.06
I want to start with
that smoke dressing first.
00:02:45.09\00:02:48.03
Okay. The French dressing.
00:02:48.06\00:02:49.56
Guide me, okay. So, okay.
00:02:49.60\00:02:51.43
So we're going to start
with our trusted Vitamix.
00:02:51.47\00:02:53.30
Okay.
00:02:53.34\00:02:54.67
And let's just start
putting the ingredients in.
00:02:54.70\00:02:57.44
The lemon
juice, the medjool date
00:02:57.47\00:03:01.84
and viewers make sure
that you take the pit out.
00:03:01.88\00:03:05.48
Because, we don't
want a chunky, rough, cut
00:03:05.51\00:03:08.28
in our Vitamix,
00:03:08.32\00:03:11.85
and olive oil,
00:03:11.89\00:03:15.92
mustard powder,
nutritional yeast,
00:03:15.96\00:03:21.13
this is loaded with B vitamins.
00:03:21.16\00:03:23.60
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:03:23.63\00:03:24.97
B12. Onion powder.
00:03:25.00\00:03:29.77
This is smoke...
And smoke paprika.
00:03:29.80\00:03:31.94
Okay.
00:03:31.97\00:03:33.31
Yes, and you just
want to blend that.
00:03:33.34\00:03:34.68
Careful over with that.
00:03:34.71\00:03:36.04
Yes. Spice.
00:03:36.08\00:03:37.41
Yummy.
00:03:37.45\00:03:38.78
And this was the
stuff of the medjool dates.
00:03:38.81\00:03:41.35
So we're going to
just add the little liquid
00:03:41.38\00:03:42.95
that's left in there.
00:03:42.98\00:03:44.32
Wonderful. Okay.
00:03:44.35\00:03:46.19
And we're going to blend that.
00:03:46.22\00:03:49.79
Just a whiz.
00:03:49.82\00:03:51.16
Yes, and while
you're blending that,
00:03:51.19\00:03:52.53
I'm going to finish
chopping the jicama.
00:03:52.56\00:03:54.73
Okay. Okay, go ahead.
00:03:54.76\00:03:57.30
Okay, so now, we're going
to mix the walnut topping.
00:04:07.31\00:04:10.61
Can I remove these for you?
00:04:10.65\00:04:11.98
Yes, you could take
those out of the way for me.
00:04:12.01\00:04:13.78
And we have our onion
powder and our walnuts chopped,
00:04:13.82\00:04:19.89
our nutritional yeast,
and then our garlic powder.
00:04:19.92\00:04:25.06
And then, we're
going to put in some salt.
00:04:25.09\00:04:28.66
Pint of salt.
00:04:28.70\00:04:30.70
Your salt is
always to taste. Yes.
00:04:30.73\00:04:32.73
Okay.
00:04:32.77\00:04:34.10
Because, you know,
00:04:34.14\00:04:35.47
different people
have different taste.
00:04:35.50\00:04:36.84
So we could say,
a half a teaspoon
00:04:36.87\00:04:39.24
but sometimes that might be
a little salty for some people.
00:04:39.27\00:04:41.18
Okay. And I
notice this salt's pink.
00:04:41.21\00:04:43.38
Yes, it's Himalayan
salt. Himalayan salt?
00:04:43.41\00:04:45.98
Mm-hm. Okay.
00:04:46.01\00:04:47.35
Yes. And it has
more minerals in it.
00:04:47.38\00:04:49.75
Okay.
00:04:49.78\00:04:51.12
Usually, when the salt is white,
00:04:51.15\00:04:52.49
it's usually bleached.
00:04:52.52\00:04:53.86
Okay.
00:04:53.89\00:04:55.22
So we have the salt
that has more nutrient value.
00:04:55.26\00:04:57.63
Okay.
00:04:57.66\00:04:58.99
Plant base diet
needs more nutrients.
00:04:59.03\00:05:00.36
Yes.
00:05:00.40\00:05:01.73
The layering is
really effective.
00:05:01.76\00:05:03.10
Exactly, exactly.
00:05:03.13\00:05:04.90
So we're going to
have our salad here,
00:05:04.93\00:05:07.44
and we start off
with our purple cabbage.
00:05:07.47\00:05:12.47
Then, we have our
wonderful red onions.
00:05:12.51\00:05:16.44
And you see all the colors? Yes.
00:05:16.48\00:05:18.88
Purple is my favorite
color. Yes, mine's too.
00:05:18.91\00:05:22.18
And then, we have our celery.
00:05:25.29\00:05:27.59
Celery is great
for calming our nerves.
00:05:31.63\00:05:33.50
Yes, it is.
00:05:33.53\00:05:35.43
And also if you know the
celery is shape like a bone
00:05:35.46\00:05:38.20
it's really good
for the bones too...
00:05:38.23\00:05:39.67
Okay. As well.
00:05:39.70\00:05:41.04
Excellent, I know.
And this is a jicama.
00:05:41.07\00:05:42.40
Jicama.
00:05:42.44\00:05:43.77
A Jicama is like a cross
between an apple and a potato.
00:05:43.81\00:05:47.48
Okay, country of origin?
00:05:47.51\00:05:49.68
I think it's Mexican. Okay.
00:05:49.71\00:05:51.11
Yeah, so the way
you peel the jicama,
00:05:51.15\00:05:55.35
we're gonna move
this out of the way,
00:05:55.38\00:05:57.55
is it has this kind
of tough skin on it,
00:05:57.59\00:05:59.72
and so just kind of take it
00:05:59.75\00:06:02.32
and just pull it away like this.
00:06:02.36\00:06:04.09
Okay. Yeah.
00:06:04.13\00:06:05.46
Not so tough. No,
it's not so tough.
00:06:05.49\00:06:07.80
And we're going to cut it
00:06:07.83\00:06:09.40
and then just kind
of thinly slice it.
00:06:09.43\00:06:14.04
And it has a sweet
kind of starchy taste.
00:06:14.07\00:06:16.30
Okay. It's really neat.
00:06:16.34\00:06:18.24
It's really nice flavor.
00:06:18.27\00:06:21.48
So then, we put this together
and let's toss this together.
00:06:21.51\00:06:26.88
All these beautiful
colors. That looks great.
00:06:32.85\00:06:35.72
And to sweet on the onion.
00:06:39.09\00:06:42.26
Yes, and the celery,
00:06:42.30\00:06:43.80
the saltiness from
the celery is wonderful.
00:06:43.83\00:06:47.80
Like a play on medley. Yes, yes.
00:06:47.84\00:06:51.04
And so we're gonna
take the lemon zest
00:06:51.07\00:06:55.28
and put a little zest in here.
00:06:55.31\00:07:00.42
And remember, don't go
down to the flesh of the lemon,
00:07:00.45\00:07:03.92
just put right
down to the white pit.
00:07:03.95\00:07:08.32
'Cause you don't want
it to start getting bitter.
00:07:08.36\00:07:09.96
Yeah, lemon zest is refreshing.
It is very refreshing.
00:07:09.99\00:07:15.50
Okay.
00:07:15.53\00:07:16.87
So we're gonna get our bowl,
00:07:16.90\00:07:21.24
and we got to put
some of this in the bowl.
00:07:21.27\00:07:26.44
Is that comfortable for you?
00:07:26.47\00:07:27.81
Yes, just move
the bowl a little bit.
00:07:27.84\00:07:33.55
So we're always trying
to find new salads to eat,
00:07:33.58\00:07:36.85
so we could have a
more raw in our diet.
00:07:36.89\00:07:39.39
And this is a
really very nice salad.
00:07:39.42\00:07:41.79
And it's pretty
quick. It is real simple.
00:07:41.82\00:07:43.89
Yes, and I like the
variety. The variety.
00:07:43.93\00:07:48.56
So let's get some more jicama.
00:07:48.60\00:07:50.83
Here we go.
00:07:50.87\00:07:54.60
Now, let's pour the dressing on.
00:07:54.64\00:07:56.37
Okay, do you need to pour in?
00:07:56.40\00:08:00.14
Yeah, just pour all of it.
00:08:00.18\00:08:01.94
Around.
00:08:01.98\00:08:05.85
You see we have
purple, we have orange,
00:08:05.88\00:08:07.98
we have green...
00:08:08.02\00:08:09.35
Yeah, it is
gorgeous, just gorgeous.
00:08:09.38\00:08:14.22
That's all?
00:08:14.26\00:08:16.86
Yes. Just coming.
00:08:16.89\00:08:19.89
Continue? Yes, that's great.
00:08:19.93\00:08:23.80
Use all of that
wonderful smoky dressing.
00:08:23.83\00:08:28.50
And most dressings that we buy
in the store has vinegar in it.
00:08:28.54\00:08:31.44
And vinegar is not
really good for digesting.
00:08:31.47\00:08:33.84
So this is why we
make our own dressing.
00:08:33.88\00:08:36.51
You're right.
00:08:36.54\00:08:40.52
That's beautiful. Yes.
00:08:40.55\00:08:42.32
Now, we're going to put
this wonderful topping on it.
00:08:42.35\00:08:45.65
And again, it smells amazing.
00:08:53.40\00:08:58.23
And beautiful.
00:08:58.27\00:08:59.60
Yes, a jicama
salad fit for a king.
00:08:59.63\00:09:02.84
Yes, beautiful.
00:09:02.87\00:09:04.74
With the red cabbage
and the walnut topping,
00:09:04.77\00:09:07.34
I just can't wait to dig in.
00:09:07.38\00:09:09.41
I am sure, it's
delightful and crunchy.
00:09:09.44\00:09:11.45
And, Tiffanie, thank you again
for joining me in the kitchen.
00:09:11.48\00:09:13.75
Well, I was...my pleasure.
00:09:13.78\00:09:15.18
Yes, and you know,
what we say at the end?
00:09:15.22\00:09:18.52
Remember to live life fresh.
00:09:18.55\00:09:22.02
Welcome back.
00:09:27.40\00:09:28.73
As you see, we got
the salads rolling.
00:09:28.76\00:09:30.30
So now, we wanna do
something special, but today,
00:09:30.33\00:09:33.23
we're gonna do a extra special
00:09:33.27\00:09:34.60
because we're gonna be doing
cooking with kids or, you know,
00:09:34.64\00:09:37.17
I don't like to say
a kids, young adults.
00:09:37.21\00:09:39.44
And so, I have my
special, special guests
00:09:39.47\00:09:42.14
on the show with me
00:09:42.18\00:09:43.51
to do these simple,
simple recipes because Evita,
00:09:43.55\00:09:47.35
she did the salad, we're going
to do a salad in an avocado,
00:09:47.38\00:09:50.29
but this show is called
The Protein Power Pack Special,
00:09:50.32\00:09:55.39
Protein Power Pack Special.
00:09:55.42\00:09:56.76
And here is my guest
today, Nephew himself.
00:09:56.79\00:09:59.76
How's it going, Zedy?
00:09:59.79\00:10:01.13
Give give me a
handshake or whatever like that.
00:10:01.16\00:10:02.70
You're doing
all right? Yes, Sir.
00:10:02.73\00:10:04.17
You sure? Yes.
00:10:04.20\00:10:05.53
Good, you're looking sharp here.
00:10:05.57\00:10:07.07
I think as you all can see,
00:10:07.10\00:10:08.77
if I need to
leave town or whatever,
00:10:08.80\00:10:11.87
we have somebody
that's going to take over.
00:10:11.91\00:10:13.54
Zedy, how old are you? I'm 15.
00:10:13.58\00:10:15.84
Fifteen? And
you're a chef already.
00:10:15.88\00:10:18.21
Yes. Oh, man.
00:10:18.25\00:10:19.61
He's already claiming it.
That's what I'm talking about.
00:10:19.65\00:10:21.68
So for those who are
watching, if you're not a chef,
00:10:21.72\00:10:24.29
just claim it and start cooking
00:10:24.32\00:10:25.92
and have a good
time in the kitchen.
00:10:25.95\00:10:27.76
What are we going
to be doing today?
00:10:27.79\00:10:29.49
We're going to be doing a
protein power pack special.
00:10:29.52\00:10:32.63
Yeah? Yes.
00:10:32.66\00:10:34.00
What are some of your things
like when you hear protein,
00:10:34.03\00:10:36.16
what do you think of?
00:10:36.20\00:10:37.53
A lot of times
people are always like
00:10:37.57\00:10:39.13
who use lot of protein
they always trying to what?
00:10:39.17\00:10:40.87
Workout.
00:10:40.90\00:10:42.24
Workout and lift
weights and stuff like that.
00:10:42.27\00:10:44.11
Do you workout? Yeah.
00:10:44.14\00:10:48.31
That's I guess
that's something there.
00:10:48.34\00:10:50.15
But he looks like he works out.
00:10:50.18\00:10:51.51
Look at him, he's looking
strong and stuff like that.
00:10:51.55\00:10:53.48
But protein is
necessary for the body,
00:10:53.52\00:10:55.52
for the muscles
and stuff like that,
00:10:55.55\00:10:57.12
but too much, as we
know, can be a, what?
00:10:57.15\00:10:59.42
Can be a problem. Yeah?
00:10:59.45\00:11:01.32
So we're going to do something
really cool and special,
00:11:01.36\00:11:03.43
one of my favorites myself,
00:11:03.46\00:11:05.56
and it's one of the
best grains in town.
00:11:05.59\00:11:08.00
Can you tell me what
is our favorite grain,
00:11:08.03\00:11:10.20
one of our favorite
grains that we can use?
00:11:10.23\00:11:12.50
It's quinoa. Quinoa?
00:11:12.53\00:11:14.84
Quinoa.
00:11:14.87\00:11:16.20
He's laughing at
me here. It's quinoa.
00:11:16.24\00:11:19.01
As you can see here
quinoa, quinoa is very good.
00:11:19.04\00:11:22.38
Can you tell us why
quinoa is very good for us?
00:11:22.41\00:11:24.61
It has a good
source of fiber in it.
00:11:24.65\00:11:26.58
Fiber. What else?
00:11:26.61\00:11:27.95
Iron.
00:11:27.98\00:11:29.32
All right, now we know fiber
is good to keep things, what?
00:11:29.35\00:11:31.89
Going. Yeah, keep them going.
00:11:31.92\00:11:33.66
Of course, like that,
you know, keep them moving,
00:11:33.69\00:11:35.42
number two not number one.
00:11:35.46\00:11:36.93
But amen, you know,
what I'm talking about.
00:11:36.96\00:11:38.73
All right, so it's
good for fiber, what else?
00:11:38.76\00:11:41.10
And protein. And protein.
00:11:41.13\00:11:43.70
Did you know that some people
actually can substitute meat,
00:11:43.73\00:11:48.50
with what?
00:11:48.54\00:11:49.87
Quinoa?
00:11:49.90\00:11:51.24
No, it's not
quinoa, it's quinoa.
00:11:51.27\00:11:52.77
All right, so they can
actually substitute that.
00:11:52.81\00:11:55.04
But of course, you know,
00:11:55.08\00:11:56.41
you want to find that
nice little balance, of course.
00:11:56.44\00:11:58.15
So it's high in protein
and you mentioned also, what?
00:11:58.18\00:12:01.65
It's got source of iron. Iron.
00:12:01.68\00:12:03.82
So people who are
dealing with anemia
00:12:03.85\00:12:06.39
or different
items of that nature,
00:12:06.42\00:12:08.09
what can they use?
00:12:08.12\00:12:09.46
Quinoa. Quinoa.
00:12:09.49\00:12:10.96
Now, here's the
thing, here's the thing,
00:12:10.99\00:12:12.63
have you tried it before?
00:12:12.66\00:12:14.13
Yes, I have. Do you like it?
00:12:14.16\00:12:15.50
Yes. I do.
00:12:15.53\00:12:16.87
Look at that.
00:12:16.90\00:12:18.23
Yeah, you need to catch this,
catch this smile on this guy.
00:12:18.27\00:12:20.47
He's like, yes, yes, yes.
00:12:20.50\00:12:22.27
It is very good and
it's very easy to, what?
00:12:22.30\00:12:26.14
To make? Yeah, very easy.
00:12:26.17\00:12:27.68
To make, matter of
fact, it's so easy,
00:12:27.71\00:12:29.04
we already made it for you.
00:12:29.08\00:12:30.41
As you all know,
it's take about, what?
00:12:30.45\00:12:32.31
How do you make it?
00:12:32.35\00:12:33.68
One cup of quinoa
to two cups of, what?
00:12:33.72\00:12:36.08
Water.
00:12:36.12\00:12:37.45
Very good, you got
the water down there.
00:12:37.49\00:12:39.05
So it's actually quiet easy.
00:12:39.09\00:12:40.69
You ever had
trouble making rice?
00:12:40.72\00:12:44.03
No. No?
00:12:44.06\00:12:46.36
No. Oh, okay good.
00:12:46.39\00:12:47.86
Well, we have a
rice expert here.
00:12:47.90\00:12:49.36
But I have trouble
sometimes cooking rice, right
00:12:49.40\00:12:51.50
'cause it always get mushy,
00:12:51.53\00:12:52.87
sometimes too much
water, too little water.
00:12:52.90\00:12:54.90
We'll use a rice cooker.
00:12:54.94\00:12:56.27
Oh, my bad, what happened was,
00:12:56.30\00:12:58.37
I couldn't afford a rice cooker.
00:12:58.41\00:12:59.97
You're rich and stuff like that.
00:13:00.01\00:13:01.51
Now, but that's
as simple as it is.
00:13:01.54\00:13:04.51
So you let it boil a little bit,
00:13:04.55\00:13:06.01
you put it on low heat and done.
00:13:06.05\00:13:08.05
It'll be ready and
like 20 minutes, max.
00:13:08.08\00:13:10.62
This thing is amazing.
It's easy, everybody can enjoy.
00:13:10.65\00:13:13.49
You make quinoa, before? Yes.
00:13:13.52\00:13:15.02
Yeah, what do you
do? How do you make it?
00:13:15.06\00:13:17.29
Me and my mom, we made it
with lemon, salt, cilantro,
00:13:17.33\00:13:20.96
whenever you want them.
00:13:21.00\00:13:22.33
Wow!
00:13:22.36\00:13:23.70
Oh, yeah, I
remember, when I came here.
00:13:23.73\00:13:25.07
Yeah, I ate it
that's why I learned it
00:13:25.10\00:13:26.43
from, you know,
see he and his mom.
00:13:26.47\00:13:27.80
So Moms, better you get cooking
with your sons, your daughters,
00:13:27.84\00:13:31.11
get them in the kitchen
00:13:31.14\00:13:32.47
because this is our
kidlicious special, yeah?
00:13:32.51\00:13:34.44
Yes.
00:13:34.48\00:13:35.81
So we're going
to make that today.
00:13:35.84\00:13:37.18
We're going to make some quinoa.
00:13:37.21\00:13:38.55
We already
prepared it for you all.
00:13:38.58\00:13:40.22
You know, we have
the chef in the kitchen,
00:13:40.25\00:13:41.58
so I have a lot
of hands going here.
00:13:41.62\00:13:43.18
And all we did is we made that,
00:13:43.22\00:13:44.99
and we're going to
make a special recipe
00:13:45.02\00:13:46.35
'cause we're going
to do stuffed, what?
00:13:46.39\00:13:48.09
Avocado. Stuffed avocados.
00:13:48.12\00:13:50.16
Quinoa stuffed avocado
00:13:50.19\00:13:51.79
because we are power
packing our meals here today.
00:13:51.83\00:13:55.53
You ready to get
this rolling? Yes.
00:13:55.56\00:13:56.93
So here is our recipe
00:13:56.97\00:13:58.30
for our protein power
packed quinoa stuffed avocado.
00:13:58.33\00:14:02.74
Tell us the recipe, you made it.
00:14:02.77\00:14:04.11
Okay.
00:14:04.14\00:14:05.47
Halved and pitted.
That was quiet easy.
00:14:27.50\00:14:29.36
Yes.
00:14:29.40\00:14:30.73
Simple, you can
knock that out, no problem.
00:14:30.77\00:14:32.23
All right, so
let's get that rolling.
00:14:32.27\00:14:33.84
You already got rolling
here, so you have, what,
00:14:33.87\00:14:36.40
the two avocados?
00:14:36.44\00:14:37.77
No, one avocado.
Oh, you see, watch it.
00:14:37.81\00:14:39.97
Now, this man is a
mathematician here.
00:14:40.01\00:14:42.14
So we have one here.
00:14:42.18\00:14:43.51
So go ahead and let's
get that other one chopped
00:14:43.55\00:14:45.25
or not chopped, but halved.
00:14:45.28\00:14:47.05
All right, now you show
00:14:47.08\00:14:48.72
you got this
under control, yeah?
00:14:48.75\00:14:50.09
Yes, sure. Okay, good.
00:14:50.12\00:14:51.45
While you get
that under control,
00:14:51.49\00:14:52.82
I'm going to work and make sure
00:14:52.85\00:14:54.19
I get some of my
other stuff here, all right?
00:14:54.22\00:14:57.23
And I know some people are like,
00:14:57.26\00:14:58.59
"You leaving, now
watch it be careful
00:14:58.63\00:15:00.36
with that knife,"
and all that stuff.
00:15:00.40\00:15:02.33
You're doing, alright.
00:15:02.36\00:15:03.70
Now, just be dared as
being nice and gentle.
00:15:03.73\00:15:06.27
You see he's a chef,
00:15:06.30\00:15:07.64
so I'm going to
take care of him,
00:15:07.67\00:15:09.00
but if you have younger children
00:15:09.04\00:15:10.67
in the home or in a
kitchen or whatever like that,
00:15:10.71\00:15:13.51
maybe, you could try,
00:15:13.54\00:15:14.88
give them plastic
knife or something,
00:15:14.91\00:15:16.24
it's just the avocado
00:15:16.28\00:15:17.61
but teach them how
to cook, all right?
00:15:17.65\00:15:18.98
So we have that going.
00:15:19.01\00:15:20.35
And then, I'm just going
to get this little tomato
00:15:20.38\00:15:22.18
because you also
call for tomatoes, right?
00:15:22.22\00:15:24.09
Yes. You sure?
00:15:24.12\00:15:25.52
Yes. Okay.
00:15:25.55\00:15:26.89
Half a cup.
00:15:26.92\00:15:28.26
So we're going to
do by a half a cup.
00:15:28.29\00:15:29.62
I'm just going to chop
this up real big here for us.
00:15:29.66\00:15:31.06
And, oh, make sure
you have some, what?
00:15:31.09\00:15:33.43
Sharp... Knives.
00:15:33.46\00:15:34.80
Sharp knives
because if you don't,
00:15:34.83\00:15:36.80
it's going to be a mess,
00:15:36.83\00:15:38.20
and I'm trying to
work with what I got here.
00:15:38.23\00:15:40.10
I'm just going to cut this
up, real simple, real easy.
00:15:40.14\00:15:43.37
And then, we have the
two cups of cooked, what?
00:15:43.41\00:15:48.34
Quinoa. Cooked quinoa.
00:15:48.38\00:15:49.71
So I'm going to let
you, run over here and then,
00:15:49.74\00:15:51.68
here is a little cup or machine.
00:15:51.71\00:15:54.12
Where's the cup
items? All right, here we go.
00:15:54.15\00:15:56.89
And we're going to put
two cups of cooked quinoa.
00:15:56.92\00:16:00.09
This one has
already been prepared.
00:16:00.12\00:16:04.99
All right. What
else you got going there?
00:16:05.03\00:16:07.50
Look at that.
00:16:07.53\00:16:08.86
You all need to take a look
00:16:08.90\00:16:10.23
at how beautiful,
how pretty this is.
00:16:10.27\00:16:12.23
This is the tricolor here.
00:16:12.27\00:16:14.30
And I'm always
taking notes there
00:16:14.34\00:16:16.07
as you can see.
00:16:16.10\00:16:17.44
So what we're going to
do is we're going to add,
00:16:17.47\00:16:19.21
now take a
little bit, all right,
00:16:19.24\00:16:21.18
of quinoa or whatever.
00:16:21.21\00:16:22.94
Quinoa, you can
take about a half a cup.
00:16:22.98\00:16:25.18
You already did the onions.
00:16:25.21\00:16:27.42
So we're going to put
a little bit of onions
00:16:27.45\00:16:28.92
in there.
00:16:28.95\00:16:30.29
I'm going to go ahead. Yeah.
00:16:30.32\00:16:31.65
Just about half of that.
00:16:31.69\00:16:34.56
Come on, you
know how to make this.
00:16:34.59\00:16:35.92
You made this before. All right.
00:16:35.96\00:16:39.06
And then, I'm going to
put this in there as well.
00:16:39.09\00:16:42.60
You already got
the cucumbers going.
00:16:42.63\00:16:45.13
You already have...
00:16:45.17\00:16:46.50
What else you
got going over here?
00:16:46.53\00:16:47.87
Now, we're going
to mix these items up.
00:16:47.90\00:16:49.24
Hmm.
00:16:49.27\00:16:50.61
And also, you have
some of that bell peppers.
00:16:50.64\00:16:54.74
This is looking
pretty. Little bit of cilantro.
00:16:54.78\00:16:59.61
Now, real quick,
cilantro tastes very good.
00:16:59.65\00:17:03.49
It always adds a nice
little flavor to the foods.
00:17:03.52\00:17:06.76
So you can do that. What
else you're missing here?
00:17:06.79\00:17:13.09
All right, lemon juice.
00:17:13.13\00:17:15.80
So you could do a
little bit of lemon juice there
00:17:15.83\00:17:17.63
that works very nice.
00:17:17.67\00:17:19.13
And we got to get some
salt and a little bit of, what?
00:17:19.17\00:17:23.71
Olive oil. Olive oil, okay.
00:17:23.74\00:17:25.64
So we get that going there,
00:17:25.67\00:17:27.01
just a nice little
bit of olive oil and salt.
00:17:27.04\00:17:32.05
Salt of taste, of course, okay?
00:17:32.08\00:17:35.35
All right, we don't
want it to be extra salty.
00:17:35.38\00:17:38.65
So we have that
going, you mix it up nicely,
00:17:38.69\00:17:42.62
and we should have a
bowl over here somewhere
00:17:42.66\00:17:46.56
that we can start
making this look nice
00:17:46.59\00:17:48.60
because this is just one of
our simple protein pack recipes.
00:17:48.63\00:17:53.70
And here it is.
What I am going to do is,
00:17:53.74\00:17:56.27
I'm going to make
a little bit of room
00:17:56.30\00:17:58.44
in your avocado, yeah?
00:17:58.47\00:17:59.87
'Cause sometimes these
avocados are really small.
00:17:59.91\00:18:02.41
So I'm making
room for two reasons,
00:18:02.44\00:18:05.21
so I can eat some avocado.
00:18:05.25\00:18:07.28
Do you like avocado? I do.
00:18:07.32\00:18:09.42
What is avocado
good for? Vitamin E.
00:18:09.45\00:18:12.05
Vitamin E.
00:18:12.09\00:18:13.42
E is external, so that
means E is good for your, what?
00:18:13.46\00:18:16.06
Good for skin and
hair. Good for the skin.
00:18:16.09\00:18:17.96
And hair.
00:18:17.99\00:18:19.33
Well, I see you've been
eating a lot of avocado lately.
00:18:19.36\00:18:21.80
You got some nice hair, brother.
00:18:21.83\00:18:23.26
All right, and
then, we're going to take
00:18:23.30\00:18:25.23
and put that right in there.
00:18:25.27\00:18:28.30
Oh, wow, this is...man,
this is looking good here.
00:18:28.34\00:18:32.41
This is going
to be a power pack.
00:18:32.44\00:18:34.84
Come on, you got
me on a diet there,
00:18:34.88\00:18:36.31
just fill it up
and let it over flow.
00:18:36.34\00:18:37.75
You know that song? Yes.
00:18:37.78\00:18:39.21
How does it go?
00:18:39.25\00:18:41.68
He's not going to
sing boohoo, all right?
00:18:41.72\00:18:44.05
So we're going to fill
it up, let it over flow.
00:18:44.09\00:18:45.65
We have our
protein packed avocado.
00:18:45.69\00:18:50.23
Good for the
skin, good for protein,
00:18:50.26\00:18:52.36
good for almost everything.
00:18:52.39\00:18:53.73
And this is just
the beginning here.
00:18:53.76\00:18:55.56
But as you know, as you know,
when you make these recipes,
00:18:55.60\00:18:58.40
you got to clean
up at the same time.
00:18:58.43\00:18:59.77
Yes. So he's going to clean up.
00:18:59.80\00:19:01.14
Help me clean up.
00:19:01.17\00:19:02.50
But at the same time,
while we're cleaning up,
00:19:02.54\00:19:05.34
we're going to talk
about our next recipe,
00:19:05.37\00:19:07.18
just a little bit.
00:19:07.21\00:19:08.58
And our next recipe
is called our, what?
00:19:08.61\00:19:11.51
Power packed cookies?
Power packed pumpkin cookie.
00:19:11.55\00:19:15.28
What is it called?
Power packed pumpkin cookies.
00:19:15.32\00:19:17.02
Power pack pumpkin
cookies, one of my favorite.
00:19:17.05\00:19:20.26
You all are
going to hear it first
00:19:20.29\00:19:21.62
'cause we have, not the kids
00:19:21.66\00:19:22.99
but the young
adults in a kitchen,
00:19:23.02\00:19:24.36
cooking with us today.
00:19:24.39\00:19:25.73
So tell us the recipe
00:19:25.76\00:19:27.10
for a power
packed protein cookies.
00:19:27.13\00:19:29.00
And then for the
topping we're going to use:
00:19:53.19\00:19:55.36
Wow, that was
some good stuff, man.
00:20:03.53\00:20:05.23
That's a power
pumpkin cookie. There it is.
00:20:05.27\00:20:10.24
You heard it first
here. Thank you so much.
00:20:10.27\00:20:12.31
Chef, Zedy making it for us.
00:20:12.34\00:20:15.08
And this is something
that everybody can enjoy,
00:20:15.11\00:20:17.95
especially the kids get
them rolling with these cookies
00:20:17.98\00:20:20.78
because some other cookies
00:20:20.82\00:20:22.15
that they're
buying in the stores,
00:20:22.18\00:20:23.52
Lord, have mercy.
00:20:23.55\00:20:24.92
What happened with
all of the other cookies
00:20:24.95\00:20:26.89
that people buy?
00:20:26.92\00:20:28.26
Are they good? What's happening?
00:20:28.29\00:20:30.13
Probably really bad for you?
00:20:30.16\00:20:31.49
Oh, it probably not the best.
00:20:31.53\00:20:34.20
Why they're
probably not the best?
00:20:34.23\00:20:36.00
If I put chemicals
and different things.
00:20:36.03\00:20:39.57
Well, the reason
why it tastes so good
00:20:39.60\00:20:41.10
is 'cause of all additives
and stuff that they put in it.
00:20:41.14\00:20:44.04
But I saw you eat some
of those cookies before.
00:20:44.07\00:20:46.54
Yes.
00:20:46.57\00:20:47.91
Oh, mercy, even
though he knows it.
00:20:47.94\00:20:49.71
Lord, this is our, this
is our path sometimes, yeah.
00:20:49.74\00:20:53.05
We know the stuff that is good
00:20:53.08\00:20:55.05
and the stuff that we
should stay away from,
00:20:55.08\00:20:56.42
but we end up in
a same situation,
00:20:56.45\00:20:57.82
so that's why we're going
to give you something better.
00:20:57.85\00:21:00.16
So what we're going to do, chef?
00:21:00.19\00:21:01.52
We're going to actually, what?
00:21:01.56\00:21:02.89
Take some of those
dry ingredients there,
00:21:02.92\00:21:04.43
you want me to mix,
you're going to mix,
00:21:04.46\00:21:05.79
what's going to happen here?
00:21:05.83\00:21:07.16
You can mix, and
I'll just put in.
00:21:07.20\00:21:08.73
Okay, he's always giving
me the hard tough jobs there.
00:21:08.76\00:21:12.87
Next, what else?
Then, you can add the salt.
00:21:12.90\00:21:15.90
All right, so we're going
to put those items in there.
00:21:15.94\00:21:17.94
We're going to mix that
00:21:17.97\00:21:19.41
and the feather
weight, all right?
00:21:19.44\00:21:22.64
Now, even though
the recipes did say that
00:21:22.68\00:21:24.71
"unbleached white
flour," you can use,
00:21:24.75\00:21:29.42
probably a lighter wheat flour
00:21:29.45\00:21:31.29
or something of
that nature as well.
00:21:31.32\00:21:33.05
All right?
00:21:33.09\00:21:34.42
And then, we're
going to put some of those.
00:21:34.46\00:21:35.79
Walnuts. Walnuts.
00:21:35.82\00:21:37.16
What are those walnuts good for?
00:21:37.19\00:21:38.53
I don't know.
And you don't know.
00:21:38.56\00:21:41.36
What is the walnut, what organ
00:21:41.40\00:21:42.80
or what part of the body
does the walnut look like?
00:21:42.83\00:21:44.83
Brain. The brain.
00:21:44.87\00:21:46.30
So then, walnuts
would be good for the what?
00:21:46.33\00:21:48.37
Brain. The brain.
00:21:48.40\00:21:49.74
Hello.
00:21:49.77\00:21:51.11
Look at that, you don't
have to be rocket science
00:21:51.14\00:21:52.47
to understand the stuff,
this stuff is simple and easy.
00:21:52.51\00:21:54.64
And then, what
else we're going to do?
00:21:54.68\00:21:56.75
Adding those wet ingredients.
00:21:56.78\00:21:58.91
You're going to
add in the...all right?
00:21:58.95\00:22:00.28
So don't forget my
little cane juice crystals.
00:22:00.32\00:22:02.52
Now, I said Florida
crystals, you can pour that in.
00:22:02.55\00:22:04.82
It says Florida crystals,
00:22:04.85\00:22:06.19
but you can use evaporated
cane juice crystals as well.
00:22:06.22\00:22:10.43
And then, we're going to pour
00:22:10.46\00:22:11.79
some of the rest
of the ingredients.
00:22:11.83\00:22:13.16
What do you have there? Agave.
00:22:13.19\00:22:15.40
Agave, maple syrup,
honey, so let's...and then,
00:22:15.43\00:22:19.17
I'm going to pour
some of that, what?
00:22:19.20\00:22:20.80
That vanilla extract in there,
00:22:20.84\00:22:22.30
so let's just
pour that nicely there.
00:22:22.34\00:22:25.67
All right?
00:22:25.71\00:22:27.04
So if you have maple
syrup, great, use maple syrup.
00:22:27.08\00:22:29.18
If you don't have
maple syrup, then use honey.
00:22:29.21\00:22:31.58
If you don't have the
honey, then as you said,
00:22:31.61\00:22:34.55
use the little bit of what?
00:22:34.58\00:22:35.92
Agave, all right?
00:22:35.95\00:22:37.62
So we have that going there
00:22:37.65\00:22:39.35
and then what else
we're going to add?
00:22:39.39\00:22:40.96
Coconut oil. All
right, coconut oil.
00:22:40.99\00:22:43.12
This is where the flavor
comes. This is the good stuff.
00:22:43.16\00:22:45.79
So we're going to
add the coconut oil.
00:22:45.83\00:22:49.36
All right, am I doing
okay? Am I mixing properly here?
00:22:49.40\00:22:51.63
Yes. I'm doing good.
00:22:51.67\00:22:53.27
And then what else? Pumpkin.
00:22:53.30\00:22:55.50
The pumpkin, or you
could also use what else?
00:22:55.54\00:22:58.84
Sweet potato. Sweet potato.
00:22:58.87\00:23:00.21
Now, what is the
Pumpkin? You like Pumpkin?
00:23:00.24\00:23:03.38
I do. What is it good for?
00:23:03.41\00:23:06.78
Are you thinking about
it? Good for the belly?
00:23:06.82\00:23:09.68
Yeah.
00:23:09.72\00:23:11.05
Probably, he's
like a, "Maybe, so."
00:23:11.09\00:23:13.36
What season do we
usually eat a lot of Pumpkin?
00:23:13.39\00:23:16.19
October. October...
00:23:16.22\00:23:18.46
Fall. Fall and stuff like that.
00:23:18.49\00:23:19.83
So then that'll be that's what
Thanksgiving time or whatever.
00:23:19.86\00:23:22.83
So lot of people enjoy pumpkin.
00:23:22.86\00:23:24.47
Pumpkin also is very good
for, like I said the stomach,
00:23:24.50\00:23:29.37
it helps the people,
especially the pumpkin seed
00:23:29.40\00:23:31.81
with high blood
pressure and stuff like that.
00:23:31.84\00:23:34.28
And so pumpkin is a very,
very good thing, enjoy it.
00:23:34.31\00:23:39.11
Do you like
Pumpkin pie? Yes, I do.
00:23:39.15\00:23:40.92
Do you make
Pumpkin pie? Sometimes.
00:23:40.95\00:23:42.85
Sometimes.
00:23:42.88\00:23:44.22
Maybe, we need
to have him comeback
00:23:44.25\00:23:45.85
and make some pumpkin pie for us
00:23:45.89\00:23:47.82
'cause, man, you got me
doing a hard work, brother.
00:23:47.86\00:23:50.89
All right, so I'm
mixing it until, what?
00:23:50.93\00:23:53.66
Well, how long do
I mix this for us?
00:23:53.70\00:23:55.56
Is there a time limit or what?
00:23:55.60\00:23:57.20
Until it looks all
nice and moist together.
00:23:57.23\00:24:00.90
So what happen?
00:24:00.94\00:24:02.27
I'm not doing a good job at it?
00:24:02.30\00:24:03.64
No, nothing like that.
00:24:03.67\00:24:05.01
Well, you know, what they
say, "You got to use the hands."
00:24:05.04\00:24:06.64
So I'm going let you
get into this thing here.
00:24:06.68\00:24:09.71
Maybe, you can mix it
up with the hands and then,
00:24:09.74\00:24:11.48
what are we going to do?
00:24:11.51\00:24:12.85
We're going to
put it on this tray
00:24:12.88\00:24:14.22
and make some cookies.
00:24:14.25\00:24:15.58
Yeah, go right ahead.
00:24:15.62\00:24:16.95
I'm going to
switch parts with you.
00:24:16.99\00:24:18.32
I will skew it over,
and I'll do the cleaning.
00:24:18.35\00:24:19.69
So. Extra sugar.
00:24:19.72\00:24:21.92
All right, and we're
going to add the, what?
00:24:21.96\00:24:24.39
The sugar.
00:24:24.43\00:24:25.76
Little extra
sugar there, all right?
00:24:25.79\00:24:29.56
Because it did call
for three, four of cups
00:24:29.60\00:24:31.70
and we only put a part of that.
00:24:31.73\00:24:33.64
So let's go ahead,
00:24:33.67\00:24:35.00
get both hands
in there, brother.
00:24:35.04\00:24:36.94
All right. And
this is very good.
00:24:36.97\00:24:39.41
A lot of people
say, "Well, my kids,
00:24:39.44\00:24:41.34
they don't like
the healthy cookies
00:24:41.38\00:24:42.84
and stuff like that."
00:24:42.88\00:24:44.21
And the reason why
00:24:44.25\00:24:45.58
is 'cause they
didn't make it, all right?
00:24:45.61\00:24:47.38
So you need to make some
of these healthy cookies,
00:24:47.42\00:24:49.75
and with them have
them follow this recipe
00:24:49.78\00:24:53.72
and lot of people will enjoy it.
00:24:53.76\00:24:56.19
How we're doing so far? Good.
00:24:56.22\00:24:58.46
Good.
00:24:58.49\00:24:59.83
Man, it's starting to
look like bread or something.
00:24:59.86\00:25:01.63
I guess that's what we
call it the power, what?
00:25:01.66\00:25:03.87
Power packed
cookies. Power packed cookies.
00:25:03.90\00:25:06.40
So he's going ahead
and mixing out there.
00:25:06.43\00:25:09.90
Are you sure
that's not bread? Sure.
00:25:09.94\00:25:12.37
All right, and then what
are we going to do after that?
00:25:12.41\00:25:14.28
Put it on here.
00:25:14.31\00:25:15.64
All right, well, you just
take a little piece at a time.
00:25:15.68\00:25:18.91
All right, so just
show us how to do it?
00:25:18.95\00:25:22.65
Here I'm just going
to clean up the mess.
00:25:22.68\00:25:25.49
How do you know me
do it? What do you do?
00:25:25.52\00:25:28.06
Cut it down like
this. Cut it down? Okay.
00:25:28.09\00:25:32.76
So you all take a look at that.
00:25:32.79\00:25:35.76
All right, do another one.
00:25:35.80\00:25:37.13
All right. Man,
you have cookies.
00:25:41.87\00:25:46.31
Some people call it dumpling.
00:25:46.34\00:25:49.74
All right.
00:25:49.78\00:25:51.61
Look at that, it looks good.
00:25:51.65\00:25:55.78
Man, you are chef in action.
00:25:55.82\00:25:57.85
You're not only a regular chef,
00:25:57.89\00:25:59.22
but you're like a
pastry chef here, huh?
00:25:59.25\00:26:01.66
Good.
00:26:01.69\00:26:03.02
Those cookies, they look good,
00:26:03.06\00:26:04.39
but they maybe
dumplings too at the same time,
00:26:04.43\00:26:06.09
that was are heavy hitters.
00:26:06.13\00:26:07.46
That's why it's what?
It's a power packed item.
00:26:07.50\00:26:09.93
A lot of times our cookies
00:26:09.96\00:26:11.30
are filled with a lot of
fillers and empty calories
00:26:11.33\00:26:15.10
and sugar and stuff like that.
00:26:15.14\00:26:17.21
But ours has, what?
00:26:17.24\00:26:18.64
Pumpkin and walnuts
00:26:18.67\00:26:22.28
and if you use
the whole wheat flour,
00:26:22.31\00:26:23.65
it's even...
00:26:23.68\00:26:25.01
Man, whole wheat flour
that one, you eat one of those,
00:26:25.05\00:26:26.95
you'll be set for
the whole day, literally.
00:26:26.98\00:26:29.28
So this is real
good, simple, easy to make.
00:26:29.32\00:26:32.32
And if you notice, instead
of the cinnamon and nutmeg
00:26:32.35\00:26:35.62
that most pumpkin cookies
or different items we call for,
00:26:35.66\00:26:38.23
what do we use?
00:26:38.26\00:26:39.59
Coriander.
00:26:39.63\00:26:40.96
We use the
coriander and the cardamom.
00:26:41.00\00:26:42.53
And these simple ingredients,
00:26:42.56\00:26:44.13
you can find in
like most supermarkets,
00:26:44.17\00:26:46.10
so everybody can enjoy that.
00:26:46.13\00:26:47.84
And what we're going to do
00:26:47.87\00:26:49.67
to give it a little extra boost,
00:26:49.70\00:26:51.27
remember 'cause we did
that topping mixture out there,
00:26:51.31\00:26:54.44
we're going to mix
those ingredients together,
00:26:54.48\00:26:56.61
just with a little bit of sugar,
00:26:56.64\00:26:58.31
the cardamom, the coriander.
00:26:58.35\00:27:01.35
So we'll mix
those items together.
00:27:01.38\00:27:02.92
This is our little topping here,
00:27:02.95\00:27:04.45
that's going to give us
that little extra boost.
00:27:04.49\00:27:06.59
And what we're going to do is,
00:27:06.62\00:27:07.96
we're just
going to sprinkle that
00:27:07.99\00:27:09.32
over the top of them.
00:27:09.36\00:27:10.69
All right?
00:27:10.73\00:27:12.06
So you just sprinkle that
over the top, over the top.
00:27:12.09\00:27:14.50
Some people will
like and people say,
00:27:14.53\00:27:16.10
"Why you'll use
that much sugar?"
00:27:16.13\00:27:17.47
Well, these are
the evaporated, what?
00:27:17.50\00:27:19.50
Cane. Cane juice
crystals, all right?
00:27:19.53\00:27:21.84
So these are a
little better option
00:27:21.87\00:27:24.31
than just regular refined sugar.
00:27:24.34\00:27:26.98
And you already
made some before, yeah?
00:27:27.01\00:27:29.01
Yes.
00:27:29.04\00:27:30.38
So let me grab those
and you did the powder...
00:27:30.41\00:27:31.85
he put a little
extra powder sugar on this.
00:27:31.88\00:27:33.85
Now, the reason...
00:27:33.88\00:27:35.22
How do you make
the powdered sugar?
00:27:35.25\00:27:36.58
You take those
evaporated cane juice crystals
00:27:36.62\00:27:38.25
and all you do is
just blend those dry.
00:27:38.29\00:27:40.96
And now, wow, look at
those. What are they called?
00:27:40.99\00:27:44.49
Power packed pumpkin cookies.
Power packed pumpkin cookies.
00:27:44.53\00:27:48.83
Enjoy them because I know
00:27:48.86\00:27:50.57
we're about to
enjoy them as well.
00:27:50.60\00:27:51.97
Thank you, Chef. Thank you.
00:27:52.00\00:27:53.70
Bye, Bye.
