Welcome to a Taste of Paradise.
00:00:15.29\00:00:17.11
My name is Evita
Tezeno and I am from the south
00:00:17.14\00:00:21.90
and we just love banana pudding.
00:00:21.93\00:00:25.35
We eat sleep and
drink banana pudding.
00:00:25.38\00:00:28.35
But when I
became to eat healthier,
00:00:28.38\00:00:31.70
I look at the ingredients
and I said, not so healthy.
00:00:31.73\00:00:36.83
So I came up
with a fabulous recipe
00:00:36.86\00:00:40.04
that's not only
healthy and nutritious
00:00:40.07\00:00:44.15
but it's also delicious.
00:00:44.18\00:00:47.57
Honey, you could take this
to any, any social gathering
00:00:47.60\00:00:52.02
and people will, ooh and
ah and say, oh, you are best.
00:00:52.05\00:00:56.51
Because you know,
people love banana pudding.
00:00:56.54\00:00:59.06
So let's look at ingredients
00:00:59.09\00:01:01.09
and let's show
how healthy it is.
00:01:01.12\00:01:03.95
So you know, in all
banana pudding recipes
00:01:49.18\00:01:53.16
they have the little cookies--
The little cookies in there.
00:01:53.19\00:01:57.23
So we're gonna make all
kind of cookies with a twist,
00:01:57.26\00:02:00.90
this is a crust--
like almond crusty cookie
00:02:00.93\00:02:05.63
kind of mixture
that I am making.
00:02:05.66\00:02:08.44
So we start off
with our almonds.
00:02:08.47\00:02:11.53
And we want to
blend them little bit,
00:02:15.73\00:02:18.19
so we can chop
them up a little bit.
00:02:18.22\00:02:20.91
So we just want to pull some
00:02:27.64\00:02:29.09
so we could break
them up little bit.
00:02:29.12\00:02:30.38
Then we have our medjool dates
00:02:30.41\00:02:32.03
and you know, that I said
00:02:32.06\00:02:33.47
that medjool dates
are my date of choice
00:02:33.50\00:02:36.73
because they are
soft and they sweeter.
00:02:36.76\00:02:39.65
And if you are using
any other kind of date
00:02:39.68\00:02:42.86
you might want to soak them
00:02:42.89\00:02:44.20
and kind of
rinse them a little bit
00:02:44.23\00:02:45.59
because some of them tend to be
00:02:45.62\00:02:47.13
a little harder
then the medjool.
00:02:47.16\00:02:52.24
And we have your sea salt.
00:02:52.27\00:02:54.17
And your vanilla extract
00:02:56.11\00:02:57.21
and make sure that you read
00:02:57.24\00:02:58.72
your labels on
the vanilla extract
00:02:58.75\00:03:00.70
and make sure that
there is no alcohol in there.
00:03:00.73\00:03:05.67
And then we
have our coconut oil.
00:03:05.70\00:03:11.76
Coconut oil is
very good for the brain.
00:03:11.79\00:03:15.68
Good brain food.
00:03:15.71\00:03:17.55
And we want to--
00:03:24.27\00:03:25.44
Now depending on
how nutty you want it
00:03:49.55\00:03:53.81
I like mines a little fine
00:03:53.84\00:03:55.23
to resemble like
crumbled up cookies,
00:03:55.26\00:03:58.55
so this is the cookie
in our banana pudding.
00:03:58.58\00:04:06.46
So let me get all of
the stuff out of the way.
00:04:06.49\00:04:09.64
And now we're
gonna make our pudding.
00:04:12.44\00:04:14.76
So we're gonna
start up with almond milk
00:04:18.74\00:04:20.33
and I make my own almond milk
00:04:20.36\00:04:22.47
by soaking a cup
of almonds in three--
00:04:22.50\00:04:27.40
and then blending
them in three cups of water
00:04:27.43\00:04:30.87
and then using a nut milk
bag and then making the milk.
00:04:30.90\00:04:34.98
So if you don't
have a nut milk bag
00:04:36.46\00:04:38.97
or if you don't want
to make your almond milk,
00:04:39.00\00:04:41.66
you can buy almond
milk in your grocery store.
00:04:41.69\00:04:45.23
And I have the vanilla extract.
00:04:46.89\00:04:50.18
And turmeric just to color it,
00:04:51.23\00:04:53.57
it's just to make it a
little, a little yellow color
00:04:53.60\00:04:57.70
because you know, when
you have banana pudding
00:04:57.73\00:04:59.48
the pudding is little
yellow, we have our dates.
00:04:59.51\00:05:02.41
And we're using chia seed,
00:05:05.22\00:05:06.72
chia seed is an
excellent thickener.
00:05:06.75\00:05:09.03
So that's why we're
using the chia seed.
00:05:09.06\00:05:11.31
It's also very hydrating
and it's also high in protein.
00:05:11.34\00:05:15.02
Almond butter.
00:05:17.07\00:05:18.18
And there is raw almond butter,
00:05:21.94\00:05:24.01
it tends to be a
little expensive,
00:05:24.04\00:05:26.14
so if you want to
get the almond butter
00:05:26.17\00:05:28.66
that's not raw, it's okay.
00:05:28.69\00:05:30.71
Whatever is easier for you.
00:05:32.91\00:05:35.20
And then we have our coconut oil
00:05:35.23\00:05:37.68
and this also
thickness the pudding as well.
00:05:37.71\00:05:41.73
And I like to add
little pinch of salt
00:05:49.58\00:05:52.38
and then our bananas.
00:05:54.66\00:05:56.80
So you know, alone without
putting this as a pudding,
00:06:00.29\00:06:05.32
this is a great
smoothie recipe as well.
00:06:05.35\00:06:07.92
I want to eat this now
because it's so delicious,
00:06:52.34\00:06:55.29
it's just
fabulous but I must wait.
00:06:55.32\00:06:59.40
Okay, so you get your pan.
00:07:01.89\00:07:04.09
And you take your
crust or your cookies,
00:07:10.98\00:07:14.16
your crumbled cookies
and place at the bottom.
00:07:14.19\00:07:19.82
And you can use any
kind of pan you want,
00:07:19.85\00:07:22.01
you could you a Pyrex dish
00:07:22.04\00:07:25.27
or if you have
something fancy you can.
00:07:25.30\00:07:28.94
And then you
cut up your bananas.
00:07:28.97\00:07:33.92
And this one is
a little too ripe.
00:07:36.03\00:07:38.78
But you're going to
cut your bananas up.
00:07:40.02\00:07:42.09
And the-- the more spotted
the banana the sweeter it is,
00:07:58.21\00:08:03.78
you don't want
to use green bananas
00:08:03.81\00:08:05.89
because they will not be sweet.
00:08:05.92\00:08:08.18
And you know, banana
pudding isn't banana pudding
00:08:08.21\00:08:12.14
if it's not sweet.
00:08:12.17\00:08:13.76
So we want a
sweet banana pudding.
00:08:13.79\00:08:16.61
And depending on how many
bananas you want in your layer
00:08:16.64\00:08:22.28
you could load it up or
you could just put it sparely.
00:08:22.31\00:08:27.20
So then you want to
pour the banana pudding.
00:08:31.10\00:08:34.07
And this one is a
layered banana pudding,
00:08:41.45\00:08:46.03
because you want
to do several layers.
00:08:46.06\00:08:48.09
So then you take some more
00:08:49.75\00:08:52.18
of the almond cookie
crust recipe and layer it.
00:08:52.21\00:09:00.12
And you just repeat.
00:09:00.15\00:09:02.66
And because I
like to do thing fancy,
00:09:05.28\00:09:08.97
I made it in a
special container.
00:09:09.00\00:09:12.76
Look at this.
00:09:17.80\00:09:19.31
Now this would even
put my grandmamma to shame.
00:09:20.48\00:09:23.39
Because look at
this, isn't this beautiful?
00:09:23.42\00:09:26.30
It is fabulous, I
can't wait to dig into this.
00:09:26.33\00:09:31.54
It's fresh, it's
fabulous and it is delicious.
00:09:31.57\00:09:35.60
Look at it.
00:09:35.63\00:09:36.66
And it smells amazing.
00:09:38.05\00:09:41.00
Okay, I've done it
again, another fantastic recipe
00:09:41.03\00:09:45.64
from the kitchen
of Taste of Paradise.
00:09:45.67\00:09:48.75
And you know what I
always say at the end,
00:09:48.78\00:09:51.73
remember to live life fresh.
00:09:51.76\00:09:55.06
Welcome back.
00:10:01.23\00:10:02.32
We're here, we're gonna look
00:10:02.35\00:10:03.39
at some of the key items
here in preparing a simple meal.
00:10:03.42\00:10:08.33
But even before
preparing a simple meal
00:10:08.36\00:10:10.17
we have to look at what is--
00:10:10.20\00:10:11.99
where is this stuff coming from?
00:10:12.02\00:10:13.24
There is a big controversy
of GMOs and what's organic,
00:10:13.27\00:10:17.29
what's not organic
and all of these things.
00:10:17.32\00:10:19.84
Every time I do programs
everybody is asking, what--
00:10:19.87\00:10:22.90
Is this good or is that not good
00:10:22.93\00:10:25.27
or the food and the
fruits and stuff that we buy is
00:10:25.30\00:10:28.29
you know, is it good?
00:10:28.32\00:10:29.91
they are adding chemicals
to it they are messing with it
00:10:29.94\00:10:32.38
and they're doing
all of these things.
00:10:32.41\00:10:33.90
Now I say it's real simple
to answer all of these questions
00:10:33.93\00:10:36.81
because I can't keep up with--
00:10:36.84\00:10:38.84
I mean, these
days they're mixing
00:10:38.87\00:10:40.83
tomatoes with different species
00:10:40.86\00:10:43.38
and they are adding
this and cutting that
00:10:43.41\00:10:45.99
and doing all of these things
00:10:46.02\00:10:47.15
with the genetics of
these fruits, these vegetables
00:10:47.18\00:10:51.44
and who knows now soon or later
00:10:51.47\00:10:53.12
with may be animals or
something of that nature.
00:10:53.15\00:10:55.48
So I can't keep up
because it's always changing.
00:10:55.51\00:10:58.32
But there is one thing I
know is I will keep simple
00:10:58.35\00:11:00.84
and I will stick
to what was written,
00:11:00.87\00:11:03.37
what the Bible
says is good for us.
00:11:03.40\00:11:05.86
And it says that there are
fruits that are good for us.
00:11:05.89\00:11:08.42
If something bears a
seed it is considered fruit
00:11:08.45\00:11:11.19
and then you have
the herbs or the veggies
00:11:11.22\00:11:14.07
which is good for you as well.
00:11:14.10\00:11:15.48
So all of these are
there, so I just stick to that.
00:11:15.51\00:11:18.23
So now when I see something
that used to have a seed
00:11:18.26\00:11:22.63
not have a seed
anymore, what am I going to do?
00:11:22.66\00:11:25.26
I am gonna probably
stay away from that.
00:11:25.29\00:11:26.72
I will give you
one quick example,
00:11:26.75\00:11:28.38
one of them in particular
is probably like grapes.
00:11:28.41\00:11:31.43
You remember back in the
days grapes always had what?
00:11:31.46\00:11:34.49
They always had general seeds,
00:11:34.52\00:11:36.26
I mean, even
though seedless grapes
00:11:36.29\00:11:37.39
have been
around for a long time.
00:11:37.42\00:11:38.87
So now when I see a seedless
item I stay away from it.
00:11:38.90\00:11:42.15
Let's look at another one some
of our favorites, watermelon.
00:11:42.18\00:11:45.38
Everybody loves
watermelon but I guess
00:11:45.41\00:11:47.25
out of convenience or
whatever the reason is,
00:11:47.28\00:11:50.26
now they have
seedless watermelon
00:11:50.29\00:11:52.24
and they see over three
quarter of watermelon now.
00:11:52.27\00:11:55.79
In our country it doesn't
even have a seed anymore?
00:11:55.82\00:12:00.23
So I am like wait a
second, watch out for that.
00:12:00.26\00:12:02.64
And especially
with the grape seeds,
00:12:02.67\00:12:04.24
I only buy grapes in
general that have what?
00:12:04.27\00:12:07.49
A seed and you
know why I do that?
00:12:07.52\00:12:09.37
Because next you
know in a couple of months
00:12:09.40\00:12:11.15
new study shows grape
seed extract is good for you.
00:12:11.18\00:12:14.52
Well, I don't have to buy
00:12:14.55\00:12:16.10
that grape seed
extract anymore, why?
00:12:16.13\00:12:17.60
'Cause the seed or
the grape that I bought
00:12:17.63\00:12:19.61
always had a what in it?
00:12:19.64\00:12:20.89
A seed but if you
notice more and more
00:12:20.92\00:12:23.08
these things are
slowly but surely
00:12:23.11\00:12:25.27
becoming very hard to find.
00:12:25.30\00:12:27.64
So keep it very
simply, your veggies,
00:12:27.67\00:12:29.59
if they look too
big stay away from it,
00:12:29.62\00:12:31.92
too small and
cute and bites eyes
00:12:31.95\00:12:34.05
probably stay
away from that as well.
00:12:34.08\00:12:35.51
Just get your regular
veggies the way it was
00:12:35.54\00:12:38.41
I can say probably intended.
00:12:38.44\00:12:40.97
So now you don't
have to worry about
00:12:41.00\00:12:43.01
who's doing what to this
or who's doing what to that.
00:12:43.04\00:12:45.68
Why, because you
are doing it yourself.
00:12:45.71\00:12:48.58
And what I mean
by doing it yourself?
00:12:48.61\00:12:50.32
Today, I know we
talk about simple meal
00:12:50.35\00:12:52.75
but today we're go from
the garden to the plate.
00:12:52.78\00:12:56.08
Why do you not have
to question these things?
00:12:56.11\00:12:57.69
Because we're going
to grow them ourselves,
00:12:57.72\00:13:00.14
gardening one on one right here
00:13:00.17\00:13:02.56
and a lot of times people
say, well, I live in the city
00:13:02.59\00:13:05.04
or I do this and
I don't have a farm.
00:13:05.07\00:13:06.97
There is no excuse.
00:13:07.00\00:13:08.66
Why? Because you
can do yourself at home.
00:13:08.69\00:13:11.04
So take a note
of the simple things
00:13:11.07\00:13:13.34
that's going to help us
go from garden to the plate
00:13:13.37\00:13:16.02
of how you too can
start to grow your own food,
00:13:16.05\00:13:18.97
it's going to bless
you not only physically
00:13:19.00\00:13:21.20
but financially as well.
00:13:21.23\00:13:23.04
And you'll learn some spiritual
lessons at the same time.
00:13:23.07\00:13:26.55
Here is your simple recipe
00:13:26.58\00:13:28.08
on how to start
gardening from home.
00:13:28.11\00:13:31.07
All you need
literally is some seeds,
00:13:31.10\00:13:33.79
any kind of seeds that you want
00:13:33.82\00:13:35.13
you want tomatoes or
cucumbers whatever it is.
00:13:35.16\00:13:37.88
You just buy
yourself some seeds,
00:13:37.91\00:13:39.44
all you need as
well is a simple pot
00:13:39.47\00:13:42.01
or may be a starter pot, a bowl
00:13:42.04\00:13:44.79
whatever you have work with it.
00:13:44.82\00:13:46.94
Then you're going to
need some good potting soil,
00:13:46.97\00:13:49.14
some good gardening soil
00:13:49.17\00:13:50.42
you can find
that at many locations
00:13:50.45\00:13:52.62
and last but not least I
think this one you can probably
00:13:52.65\00:13:56.49
get this for free as
you're going to need some water.
00:13:56.52\00:13:59.25
So I hope you went
ahead and wrote that down.
00:13:59.28\00:14:01.21
I am going to grab
some of these items.
00:14:01.24\00:14:03.24
I have some
potting soil right here,
00:14:03.27\00:14:06.36
I am going to
start with a little cup,
00:14:06.39\00:14:08.98
this is a special cup
00:14:09.01\00:14:10.25
and if you don't have
it, work with what you have.
00:14:10.28\00:14:12.51
You can probably
even get a little bowl
00:14:12.54\00:14:15.31
or something of that
nature and then seeds,
00:14:15.34\00:14:18.15
these are a dime a dozen.
00:14:18.18\00:14:19.68
And I know what
some people are thinking,
00:14:19.71\00:14:21.20
ah, those are
genetically modified as well.
00:14:21.23\00:14:23.94
Well, I have simple question,
00:14:23.97\00:14:25.30
did God not know we
will be in the situation?
00:14:25.33\00:14:28.33
He knew that and so as
what he encourages us to do is
00:14:28.36\00:14:32.37
number one, get
out of those cities.
00:14:32.40\00:14:34.69
So you can be in a
country, grow your own food.
00:14:34.72\00:14:37.95
The other day my mom called me,
00:14:37.98\00:14:39.69
she said, son,
I need some money.
00:14:39.72\00:14:41.69
See, mom is
retired and all that stuff,
00:14:41.72\00:14:43.59
and I said, why you
calling me, call my brother.
00:14:43.62\00:14:46.20
She said, well, they're married,
00:14:46.23\00:14:47.67
I said, exactly why you
need to call my brother,
00:14:47.70\00:14:49.83
and I said, because
they have two incomes,
00:14:49.86\00:14:51.66
it's just me, hello.
00:14:51.69\00:14:53.26
But I'm like, mom,
I'm just kidding with you.
00:14:53.29\00:14:55.13
I'll-- What do you
need the money for?
00:14:55.16\00:14:57.28
This is why I don't
like asking people for money,
00:14:57.31\00:14:58.68
when you ask people for money,
they tell you how to spend it.
00:14:58.71\00:15:00.96
She said, somebody came by
00:15:00.99\00:15:02.97
and told me that I only
need to use organic food.
00:15:03.00\00:15:06.60
I said, mom, did you see
00:15:06.63\00:15:07.66
the price of
organic food in New York?
00:15:07.69\00:15:10.18
One broccoli like a big
broccoli crown is like $5.99.
00:15:10.21\00:15:16.14
I said if we have to die eating
regular broccoli so be it.
00:15:16.17\00:15:20.05
We're going to rest in piece.
00:15:20.08\00:15:21.12
But here's what you need to do,
00:15:21.15\00:15:22.29
Buy the food, if
you have to buy it,
00:15:22.32\00:15:24.89
the way was intended,
prepare in a simple manner.
00:15:24.92\00:15:27.12
I said, mom, what do you need
to do before you eat that food?
00:15:27.15\00:15:30.01
She said, bless it.
00:15:30.04\00:15:31.92
Bless it and trust
that God will bless it,
00:15:31.95\00:15:34.37
as matter of fact
say a special prayer,
00:15:34.40\00:15:35.95
Lord in the name of
Jesus, if the farmer puts
00:15:35.98\00:15:38.20
some pesticides in this please
send the angels to do what?
00:15:38.23\00:15:41.29
Remove it and
if he didn't cook--
00:15:41.32\00:15:43.44
oh, he didn't cook it--
00:15:43.47\00:15:44.54
He didn't grow it long enough,
now what do you need to do?
00:15:44.57\00:15:47.31
Lord, send another group
of angels to replenish it.
00:15:47.34\00:15:49.81
But sometimes our
prayers are so quick
00:15:49.84\00:15:51.65
we just sooner, Lord, amen,
00:15:51.68\00:15:53.38
and we start
eating and the angel,
00:15:53.41\00:15:55.20
they don't have enough
time replenish the food.
00:15:55.23\00:15:56.96
Of course, we know
that doesn't happen
00:15:56.99\00:15:58.34
but you getting what I'm saying?
00:15:58.37\00:15:59.59
But you have to believe that
God will do whatever everybody?
00:15:59.62\00:16:02.69
He will bless the food.
00:16:02.72\00:16:04.52
But at the same time
we're blessing the food
00:16:04.55\00:16:06.34
soon as we are
finished, what do we do?
00:16:06.37\00:16:08.22
We take a whole
bunch of supplements.
00:16:08.25\00:16:10.29
You know, what
that's telling God
00:16:10.32\00:16:11.46
if I can probably guess them,
00:16:11.49\00:16:13.30
you telling God, he didn't do
00:16:13.33\00:16:14.66
a good enough job
of blessing the food.
00:16:14.69\00:16:17.01
So now as a
result you're going to
00:16:17.04\00:16:18.80
bless it
yourself with supplements.
00:16:18.83\00:16:21.10
You just have to
believe and trust.
00:16:21.13\00:16:23.30
So I said, mom, we are
not going to buying this.
00:16:23.33\00:16:25.73
And number, two the poor
man can't afford the organic,
00:16:25.76\00:16:29.72
but the poor man can
grow his own food, yeah?
00:16:29.75\00:16:33.04
As a matter of
fact it's cheaper.
00:16:33.07\00:16:34.32
Anybody who follow
these basic principals
00:16:34.35\00:16:36.00
you will save
almost $4,500 a year,
00:16:36.03\00:16:39.59
just by making and
growing your own what everybody?
00:16:39.62\00:16:43.42
Your own food, so here
is what we're going to do.
00:16:43.45\00:16:46.15
I am going to share with you
how to do it, it's real simple.
00:16:46.18\00:16:48.80
It's like the easiest
thing and if you are concerned
00:16:48.83\00:16:51.38
I don't know, I am not farmer,
00:16:51.41\00:16:52.87
I never taught, was
taught these things, no problem.
00:16:52.90\00:16:55.99
All you need is some
dirt, a little this is a--
00:16:56.02\00:16:59.50
What you call is a recyclable
not recyclable but a degrade--
00:16:59.53\00:17:02.61
A biodegradable item.
00:17:02.64\00:17:04.66
So once you put
the dirt in here.
00:17:04.69\00:17:08.72
you can actually just water
it and stick it in the ground
00:17:08.75\00:17:12.74
and it will do
everything for you
00:17:12.77\00:17:14.41
because normally you
have to transplant it,
00:17:14.44\00:17:16.15
so I'll put that here and
I move this over to the side.
00:17:16.18\00:17:19.24
And as you can see you
could just pat it down.
00:17:19.27\00:17:21.77
Just a little bit not to
tight, make a little hole.
00:17:21.80\00:17:24.87
Hello, we're back in like
science class or something.
00:17:24.90\00:17:27.85
We're going to
make a little hole.
00:17:27.88\00:17:28.92
And what do I have
here? I have some tomatoes.
00:17:28.95\00:17:31.89
So you're going to
take a little tomato seed.
00:17:31.92\00:17:34.50
All right, I got a
whole bunch of them,
00:17:34.53\00:17:35.83
may be you can see that
these things are so small.
00:17:35.86\00:17:39.25
Look at how small
they are but you've seen,
00:17:39.28\00:17:41.78
as a matter of fact you probably
00:17:41.81\00:17:42.84
don't even have
to buy these seeds
00:17:42.87\00:17:44.99
when you're making your tomato,
00:17:45.02\00:17:46.56
you see them all right there?
00:17:46.59\00:17:48.28
Or when you're
eating your tomato,
00:17:48.31\00:17:49.69
just pull those seeds
out and you can probably
00:17:49.72\00:17:51.99
even grow your
own tomato someday.
00:17:52.02\00:17:54.08
So I am going to
take one, two of those
00:17:54.11\00:17:56.23
and put that
right in there, okay?
00:17:56.26\00:17:59.75
Then I'm going to save the rest
00:17:59.78\00:18:00.89
'cause I may
plant that another time.
00:18:00.92\00:18:03.02
You cover it a little bit
and then let's get some water.
00:18:03.05\00:18:07.51
This is like the literally
the easiest thing around town.
00:18:07.54\00:18:10.37
You just put
just a tide of water
00:18:10.40\00:18:12.50
to go ahead and get the
little hydration going there.
00:18:12.53\00:18:15.62
And then even
when you're doing this
00:18:15.65\00:18:18.59
you got to still say,
00:18:18.62\00:18:19.65
Lord, I don't
know what I am doing
00:18:19.68\00:18:21.19
but please bless
this thing, grow it for me
00:18:21.22\00:18:24.80
and then you make a
little, little item here,
00:18:24.83\00:18:26.68
and you mark it tomato.
00:18:26.71\00:18:29.16
Done deal, all right?
00:18:29.19\00:18:31.37
So bear with the
handwriting there
00:18:31.40\00:18:33.51
but right there
you have a simple way
00:18:33.54\00:18:35.70
that you can start
making your own what?
00:18:35.73\00:18:38.27
You can start making or
growing your own tomato.
00:18:38.30\00:18:40.91
What else do I have here?
I have some parsley, mints.
00:18:40.94\00:18:45.33
Yes, everybody likes
mint, so I am going to do mint
00:18:45.36\00:18:48.35
and I am going to
get another seed here
00:18:48.38\00:18:50.65
and then I'm going to grab
00:18:50.68\00:18:51.78
another one of
my little examples
00:18:51.81\00:18:55.06
and I am going to take this one,
00:18:55.09\00:18:56.41
I'm not even going to
ask you all to look at it,
00:18:56.44\00:18:57.85
these mint seeds are so small,
00:18:57.88\00:18:59.36
I can only
imagine a mustard seed.
00:18:59.39\00:19:01.32
And if you just have faith
00:19:01.35\00:19:02.76
like a mustard
seed, you can do this.
00:19:02.79\00:19:04.29
So I am going to take
this put it in the middle,
00:19:04.32\00:19:06.77
and drop them,
this is call faith.
00:19:06.80\00:19:09.71
Can you imagine,
putting something in there,
00:19:09.74\00:19:11.20
you're not sure
how it's going to work.
00:19:11.23\00:19:12.87
And then what am
I going to do again?
00:19:12.90\00:19:14.22
Just going to add a
little bit of water,
00:19:14.25\00:19:15.87
so then I have my mint there.
00:19:15.90\00:19:17.54
You can do basil
and I encourage you
00:19:17.57\00:19:19.57
to start with
something simple like a tomato,
00:19:19.60\00:19:21.83
basil, what else,
we have mint here.
00:19:21.86\00:19:27.12
There are so many
things that you can do
00:19:27.15\00:19:28.39
and then I am
going to label this one
00:19:28.42\00:19:29.62
and I am going
to call that mint.
00:19:29.65\00:19:31.04
Then you take
these and you put them,
00:19:31.07\00:19:35.42
let me go back here.
00:19:35.45\00:19:37.22
And you put them in these nice
little trays that these stores,
00:19:39.24\00:19:42.03
and many stores
have what is known as
00:19:42.06\00:19:43.43
like little
starter kits or something.
00:19:43.46\00:19:45.85
Planting starter kits
and you just take that,
00:19:45.88\00:19:48.45
you put that in the
sunlight by your window
00:19:48.48\00:19:50.85
if you have garden you
can actually place the whole,
00:19:50.88\00:19:54.06
the whole item in your
garden, you dig a hole.
00:19:54.09\00:19:56.48
And then what do I have here?
00:19:56.51\00:19:57.62
I have some basil, I have
some mint that has already grown
00:19:57.65\00:20:01.61
and if you have
those going in a garden
00:20:01.64\00:20:02.97
in this special type of cup
it naturally does it for you.
00:20:03.00\00:20:05.44
If you have a regular cup,
like one of these or whatever
00:20:05.47\00:20:10.30
as it starts to grow
00:20:10.33\00:20:11.36
you're going to have
to transplant it, okay?
00:20:11.39\00:20:13.80
And put it in something bigger.
00:20:13.83\00:20:15.04
So look at this tomato
plant as it took a little time
00:20:15.07\00:20:19.71
and now of course
that didn't happen today.
00:20:19.74\00:20:23.02
That took several weeks there.
00:20:23.05\00:20:24.55
But it's going to
teach you patience
00:20:24.58\00:20:26.27
and long suffering
and all that good stuff
00:20:26.30\00:20:29.08
as a matter of fact,
when we was getting ready
00:20:29.11\00:20:30.91
for this program here,
we didn't even have it.
00:20:30.94\00:20:34.63
It didn't grow
fast enough of course,
00:20:34.66\00:20:36.74
so we went ahead and we--
00:20:36.77\00:20:38.28
we got ourselves
some tomatoes here.
00:20:38.31\00:20:39.96
These are
tomatoes are from the vine.
00:20:39.99\00:20:42.69
So you can do that.
00:20:42.72\00:20:43.89
I think anybody can do
this and a matter of fact
00:20:43.92\00:20:46.04
I encourage you to get
the kids involved, please.
00:20:46.07\00:20:49.05
Ask children, where
does food come from?
00:20:49.08\00:20:51.38
Oh, it comes from the box.
00:20:51.41\00:20:53.46
No, food doesn't
come from the box.
00:20:53.49\00:20:55.59
Food comes from the farm,
food comes from your garden
00:20:55.62\00:20:59.68
and I think
everybody can do this.
00:20:59.71\00:21:01.59
So any questions, I would say?
00:21:01.62\00:21:03.90
Good, no questions,
because you can do it yourself.
00:21:03.93\00:21:07.07
So here's your tomato,
00:21:07.10\00:21:08.20
here's your mint
and here is your basil.
00:21:08.23\00:21:10.61
A matter of fact,
while we are at it,
00:21:10.64\00:21:12.17
why don't we just make simple
recipe from our little tomatoes
00:21:12.20\00:21:16.39
and maybe we'll use some basil?
00:21:16.42\00:21:18.06
What about a
special spaghetti sauce
00:21:18.09\00:21:19.67
or something of that nature,
00:21:19.70\00:21:20.74
you think you guys
will like to do that?
00:21:20.77\00:21:22.88
And even before I
get to that special sauce
00:21:22.91\00:21:26.08
I am going to show you all
one of the easiest ones to do.
00:21:26.11\00:21:28.94
Matter of fact, I am
going to go to the fridge
00:21:28.97\00:21:31.04
because some people say,
00:21:31.07\00:21:32.52
oh, it takes too long,
I don't know what to do.
00:21:32.55\00:21:34.70
Anybody, green
onions, green onions?
00:21:34.73\00:21:38.08
Here it is.
00:21:38.11\00:21:39.66
All you have to do is get
yourself some green onions
00:21:40.99\00:21:43.50
and you literally cut them
and I am going to move this
00:21:43.53\00:21:48.68
and then we're going
to make a special sauce
00:21:48.71\00:21:49.85
that's the easiest part.
00:21:49.88\00:21:51.13
Cooking is
actually, it's like so easy.
00:21:51.16\00:21:53.18
We're going to take our
potting soil again, all right.
00:21:53.21\00:21:59.17
And I am just going to
do this in this little bowl.
00:21:59.20\00:22:00.92
if you don't have one of those
00:22:00.95\00:22:01.99
special little cups
or those little kits.
00:22:02.02\00:22:04.52
Even if you
don't have potting soil
00:22:04.55\00:22:06.57
you just grab some
dirt and just pray over it.
00:22:06.60\00:22:09.23
You can go ahead and
put just enough there, okay.
00:22:09.26\00:22:15.75
Where is my knife?
00:22:15.78\00:22:18.00
Here is the coolest thing
00:22:18.03\00:22:19.18
and I may even use
this in our recipe,
00:22:19.21\00:22:21.42
you go ahead and you just
chop off your green onions
00:22:21.45\00:22:28.30
and you see this right here.
00:22:28.33\00:22:29.70
What do you do with this?
00:22:29.73\00:22:30.76
You literally stick them in.
00:22:30.79\00:22:35.10
Stick them in, then
what are you going to do?
00:22:35.13\00:22:39.50
A matter of fact, you can do
a little trick on your family,
00:22:39.53\00:22:42.40
say, look I started
planting and they were growing
00:22:42.43\00:22:45.73
and they are literally growing,
you're not lying of course.
00:22:45.76\00:22:48.57
They are growing but
they will start to sprout out
00:22:48.60\00:22:51.10
even more, more and
as soon as they grow
00:22:51.13\00:22:53.61
little bit too
much what do you do?
00:22:53.64\00:22:55.20
You just chop them off
make a recipe out of it.
00:22:55.23\00:22:57.61
And then you're done.
00:22:57.64\00:22:59.35
So actually we're going
to get to that recipe today
00:22:59.38\00:23:01.97
and we're going to
make our special sauce.
00:23:02.00\00:23:03.97
Here is your simple recipe
00:23:04.00\00:23:05.35
on how to make a special
spaghetti sauce, pasta sauce
00:23:05.38\00:23:08.68
with the fresh grown
tomatoes that you have here.
00:23:08.71\00:23:11.07
All you need is:
00:23:11.10\00:23:12.56
One half small
onion, two sprigs of parsley
00:23:24.37\00:23:28.06
and one teaspoon
of paprika, paprika.
00:23:28.09\00:23:31.73
This is a simple easy
recipe that we all can do.
00:23:31.76\00:23:34.61
A matter of fact I
don't know about you
00:23:34.64\00:23:36.33
but I got to go to
work, so I'm going to show you
00:23:36.36\00:23:37.93
easy way how to do it all,
00:23:37.96\00:23:39.71
because
normally we would just be
00:23:39.74\00:23:40.85
cooking in and
doing all that stuff.
00:23:40.88\00:23:42.20
So basically you're going to
get a nice little Vita-Mix here
00:23:42.23\00:23:47.32
and we're going
to put that up top.
00:23:47.35\00:23:49.57
And then I'm going to get
this, then we're going to run
00:23:49.60\00:23:51.43
our tomatoes under the water,
just rinse it off really nice.
00:23:51.46\00:23:55.99
Okay, so we have
our fresh tomatoes,
00:23:58.31\00:23:59.78
we're going to get
this open real quick
00:23:59.81\00:24:02.16
and I'm just going to
take the tomatoes off,
00:24:02.19\00:24:04.46
oh, man, straight from the vine,
00:24:04.49\00:24:06.49
straight from the garden.
00:24:06.52\00:24:07.91
Nobody has any excuses anymore
00:24:07.94\00:24:10.91
to not have their
own organic fresh meals.
00:24:10.94\00:24:16.11
And you can just literally
put the whole thing in there.
00:24:16.14\00:24:18.96
You can dice it up
00:24:18.99\00:24:20.07
if you are going to
cook it a little bit there.
00:24:20.10\00:24:24.61
So I'm just going to take these,
00:24:24.64\00:24:26.23
I'm going to put this there.
00:24:26.26\00:24:27.79
And I'm going to get
all four of them going.
00:24:27.82\00:24:30.80
And just get that just the bit
00:24:30.83\00:24:32.29
you can put the whole
thing if you want to actually.
00:24:32.32\00:24:36.26
And then you just chop it off
if you have a regular blender,
00:24:36.29\00:24:38.34
you know, you have to
work with it a little bit.
00:24:38.37\00:24:40.24
So I'm going to
take those get that going
00:24:40.27\00:24:44.26
and then you are
just going to add
00:24:44.29\00:24:46.94
the rest of the
ingredients in the blender.
00:24:46.97\00:24:50.24
One, two,
three. One, two, three.
00:24:50.27\00:24:51.90
I have my onion here and
just chop that into pieces.
00:24:51.93\00:24:56.62
Get that going, I
have my parsley and stuff,
00:24:56.65\00:25:00.30
that's in there.
00:25:00.33\00:25:01.37
And then the garlic, oh, yeah.
00:25:01.40\00:25:03.15
Oh, man, how am
I going to do this?
00:25:03.18\00:25:04.82
Now a lot of times
people are peeling it,
00:25:04.85\00:25:06.95
here's my own little one I
just take a can, done deal.
00:25:06.98\00:25:10.75
And it actually because I hate
00:25:10.78\00:25:12.44
the smell of
garlic on my fingers
00:25:12.47\00:25:14.71
and it just
comes right out of it.
00:25:14.74\00:25:16.57
So you can-- you
can do that yourself.
00:25:16.60\00:25:18.97
Then we're going to do a
little bit of olive oil in there
00:25:19.00\00:25:22.78
and don't forget your salts,
how much are we going to put?
00:25:22.81\00:25:26.71
Probably about a teaspoon,
you can add it to taste
00:25:26.74\00:25:29.75
however you see fit and
don't forget your paprika.
00:25:29.78\00:25:33.91
So I'm just going to go
ahead, just put a little bit
00:25:33.94\00:25:35.69
and does anybody know
what paprika is in general?
00:25:35.72\00:25:38.77
This is
basically a red bell pepper
00:25:38.80\00:25:41.53
or a dried red bell pepper
00:25:41.56\00:25:44.40
and also a little bit
of liquid, we put oil,
00:25:44.43\00:25:47.07
yes, but we're going to
put a little bit of water.
00:25:47.10\00:25:49.44
All right, should be
good, just a little bit more.
00:25:52.06\00:25:54.51
And then we're
going to cover this up
00:25:56.76\00:25:59.25
and we're going
to get this going.
00:25:59.28\00:26:01.24
All right.
00:26:36.97\00:26:38.36
With that we have
our special sauce,
00:26:38.39\00:26:40.22
this is nice and our cream--
00:26:40.25\00:26:42.53
Oh, you can even
smell it, it smells good.
00:26:42.56\00:26:44.83
Just a little bit more.
00:26:44.86\00:26:46.19
And here we go we
have our special sauce.
00:26:59.75\00:27:02.76
This is fresh, fresh, fresh.
00:27:02.79\00:27:04.85
For paprika, anything you
like and you can enjoy that.
00:27:04.88\00:27:08.32
This is a simple little item
00:27:08.35\00:27:10.30
that you can do,
it's really quick.
00:27:10.33\00:27:12.56
And for those who
like to eat on to run,
00:27:12.59\00:27:14.53
they can use this as well.
00:27:14.56\00:27:16.43
You could even get
it with your pasta.
00:27:16.46\00:27:18.67
Matter of fact I
have some pasta over here,
00:27:19.98\00:27:22.07
you just drain that out.
00:27:22.10\00:27:23.30
I know everybody likes to
use the colander and stuff,
00:27:23.33\00:27:26.32
me, I do a quick
start, let me see here.
00:27:26.35\00:27:28.93
So I just pour it out there.
00:27:28.96\00:27:30.85
Have that there. Let's see.
00:27:32.90\00:27:35.60
And then you can have
a simple meal on the run.
00:27:35.63\00:27:39.57
Here's your nice
spaghettis, nice and hot there.
00:27:39.60\00:27:43.21
And then just a tad because
this is powerful sauce here.
00:27:44.40\00:27:48.04
And if you cook it
longer in the Vita-Mix,
00:27:48.07\00:27:50.31
this is a little you need,
00:27:50.34\00:27:51.70
this is a quick
little item that you can do.
00:27:51.73\00:27:53.99
Everybody can enjoy it.
Go ahead, start at home.
00:27:54.02\00:27:57.41
Grow your own food from
the garden to the plate.
00:27:57.44\00:27:59.49
