Wanna hear about
some yummy recipes
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.16

00:00:03.20\00:00:04.60
Well, stay tuned
to meet some sisters
00:00:04.63\00:00:06.40
whose journey will inspire you.
00:00:06.43\00:00:08.64
My name is Yvonne Lewis
00:00:08.67\00:00:10.17
and you're
watching Urban Report.
00:00:10.21\00:00:12.17
Hello and
welcome to Urban Report.
00:00:36.26\00:00:38.30
My guests today
are the Holmes Sisters,
00:00:38.33\00:00:40.40
Kimberly, Taisha, and Genneath.
00:00:40.44\00:00:42.37
They sing and they cook.
00:00:42.40\00:00:44.77
We had some super yummy
meals while they were here.
00:00:44.81\00:00:47.84
I had the
opportunity to talk to them
00:00:47.88\00:00:49.51
on the set of
the new D2D program,
00:00:49.54\00:00:52.11
Creative Cooking,
00:00:52.15\00:00:53.72
for which they
were the season's hosts.
00:00:53.75\00:00:55.92
Take a look.
00:00:55.95\00:00:59.49
I have the privilege of being
00:00:59.52\00:01:00.99
on the set of Dare to
Dream's newest cooking program,
00:01:01.02\00:01:05.09
Creative Cooking,
00:01:05.13\00:01:06.66
and I'm so excited
00:01:06.70\00:01:08.53
because our
hosts for this season
00:01:08.56\00:01:11.17
are the Holmes Sisters.
00:01:11.20\00:01:13.17
Okay, so tell us your names.
00:01:16.24\00:01:18.31
Let's start with
sister number one.
00:01:18.34\00:01:20.38
I'm Kimberly.
00:01:20.41\00:01:22.24
I'm Taisha.
00:01:22.28\00:01:23.61
And I am Genneath.
00:01:23.65\00:01:24.98
Oh, and how long
have I known you?
00:01:25.01\00:01:28.28
Oh, my goodness.
00:01:28.32\00:01:29.65
All our lives.
00:01:29.68\00:01:32.52
I think Mark was probably...
00:01:32.55\00:01:34.62
He was about four or
five. About four or five.
00:01:34.66\00:01:36.93
Yes, many, many years ago.
00:01:36.96\00:01:38.29
So we're about maybe four
years older to him, maybe six...
00:01:38.33\00:01:40.13
Eight. Oh, yeah.
00:01:40.16\00:01:42.46
All our lives.
00:01:42.50\00:01:44.13
And I've watched you grow
into wonderful women of God
00:01:44.17\00:01:47.94
and I know that your mom
and your dad would be and was,
00:01:47.97\00:01:53.48
so proud of you.
00:01:53.51\00:01:55.14
So we're just, I'm so
excited that you're here.
00:01:55.18\00:01:58.41
We're excited to be here.
00:01:58.45\00:01:59.78
I'm so excited
about Creative Cooking.
00:01:59.81\00:02:01.15
Okay, so tell our
Dare to Dream viewers
00:02:01.18\00:02:04.49
what they can look
for with Creative Cooking
00:02:04.52\00:02:06.65
and then we're gonna
get into your background.
00:02:06.69\00:02:08.32
But let's talk a
bit about the program.
00:02:08.36\00:02:10.39
Tell us about Creative Cooking.
00:02:10.43\00:02:11.86
What...
00:02:11.89\00:02:13.23
How is it
structured, like what is it?
00:02:13.26\00:02:16.03
Okay, well, Creative
Cooking, we just love the name
00:02:16.06\00:02:19.50
because we have so, I mean,
the world of food is so vast
00:02:19.53\00:02:23.44
and diverse that
we can be so creative.
00:02:23.47\00:02:25.91
So what...
00:02:25.94\00:02:27.28
What God has given us
is the idea to present
00:02:27.31\00:02:29.98
to the world creative
cooking of eating the foods,
00:02:30.01\00:02:34.05
how to be creative to...
00:02:34.08\00:02:35.58
Juice the foods.
00:02:35.62\00:02:37.19
And wear the foods.
00:02:37.22\00:02:38.55
And what does that mean?
00:02:38.59\00:02:39.92
What are we gonna do,
00:02:39.95\00:02:41.29
in every
segment, just a little...
00:02:41.32\00:02:42.66
Well, in every
segment, we've just shown you
00:02:42.69\00:02:44.03
how you can take the
foods and creatively cook them.
00:02:44.06\00:02:46.13
In simple practical ways. Right.
00:02:46.16\00:02:48.03
And then creatively make
different types of juices
00:02:48.06\00:02:50.80
from detox to
zinger, smoothies...
00:02:50.83\00:02:52.17
A lot of smoothies. Yeah.
00:02:52.20\00:02:54.34
That's juicing it.
00:02:54.37\00:02:55.84
And then,
wearing it is the mask.
00:02:55.87\00:02:58.01
That's the fun part.
00:02:58.04\00:02:59.37
All of you have gorgeous skin.
00:02:59.41\00:03:03.24
Do you use these
masks yourselves?
00:03:03.28\00:03:05.18
Yes, we do.
00:03:05.21\00:03:06.55
Kim actually uses
more. Not as much as Kim.
00:03:06.58\00:03:07.92
But not as much as Kim.
00:03:07.95\00:03:09.92
Tell us about
Kim, with the mask.
00:03:09.95\00:03:12.19
Oh, Kim comes
up with everything.
00:03:12.22\00:03:15.42
You name it and this is how
this whole thought came about
00:03:15.46\00:03:18.13
because she will
walk into the kitchen...
00:03:18.16\00:03:20.66
While you're cooking.
00:03:20.70\00:03:22.03
And if she sees
it, she'll grab it
00:03:22.06\00:03:24.07
and she's gonna make
some kind of mixture.
00:03:24.10\00:03:26.80
She comes up with a
mixture to put on her face.
00:03:26.84\00:03:29.07
Not just her face,
sometimes her hands, her arms,
00:03:29.10\00:03:31.97
and the funniest thing,
00:03:32.01\00:03:33.58
she has two boys
and they wear it also.
00:03:33.61\00:03:35.58
They wear it.
00:03:35.61\00:03:36.95
Oh. This is real.
00:03:36.98\00:03:39.48
Kimberly, I'm sorry, but
we're letting it all out.
00:03:39.51\00:03:42.18
Then try it, let it out.
00:03:42.22\00:03:43.69
John, John will
have his oatmeal mask.
00:03:43.72\00:03:46.32
Yes.
00:03:46.35\00:03:47.69
Only because I grew up
watching my dad do that.
00:03:47.72\00:03:50.36
My dad was a
handsome, very striking man
00:03:50.39\00:03:53.83
and he took very
good care of his skin.
00:03:53.86\00:03:55.30
Yeah, he did with natural foods.
00:03:55.33\00:03:58.23
That's what, with natural foods.
00:03:58.27\00:03:59.60
And we're living in a world
00:03:59.63\00:04:00.97
that's emphasizing skin
care not just for the women
00:04:01.00\00:04:03.57
but for the men as well.
00:04:03.61\00:04:04.94
Yes. Absolutely.
00:04:04.97\00:04:06.68
There's nothing wrong with that.
00:04:06.71\00:04:08.04
Tightening up
those pores. Right.
00:04:08.08\00:04:11.81
So like Gen says, when
you're going to visit Kim,
00:04:11.85\00:04:13.75
she's got a cough,
00:04:13.78\00:04:15.28
she don't know how
she'll show up at the door.
00:04:15.32\00:04:18.65
I'm beet today.
I'm carrot today.
00:04:18.69\00:04:20.59
Or molasses.
00:04:20.62\00:04:21.96
But you can also
wear it in your hair.
00:04:21.99\00:04:23.32
Yeah.
00:04:23.36\00:04:24.69
Right, but it's not
practical to do it on the set.
00:04:24.73\00:04:26.59
Right. With your hair.
00:04:26.63\00:04:27.96
So we're just
keeping it to the skin.
00:04:28.00\00:04:29.33
Focus on the skin, right.
00:04:29.36\00:04:30.70
And the smoothies as well.
00:04:30.73\00:04:32.07
We juice a lot and we
make a lot of the smoothies,
00:04:32.10\00:04:34.64
so we thought it would be great
00:04:34.67\00:04:36.00
to just share the different ways
00:04:36.04\00:04:37.37
that we can juice and make food.
00:04:37.41\00:04:38.74
Yeah.
00:04:38.77\00:04:40.11
And I think that the
viewers are gonna love that
00:04:40.14\00:04:41.61
because this is
a whole different
00:04:41.64\00:04:44.35
kind of cooking program.
00:04:44.38\00:04:46.21
One of the
things I love about it
00:04:46.25\00:04:47.78
is it's so authentic,
00:04:47.82\00:04:49.25
it's so real, you know,
00:04:49.28\00:04:50.69
like it might spill a
little something in the kitchen.
00:04:50.72\00:04:54.26
But that's what we
do. That's what we do.
00:04:54.29\00:04:56.09
Cooking, right?
That's what you do.
00:04:56.12\00:04:57.76
So we didn't take that out.
00:04:57.79\00:04:59.43
We left it in, so we
have fun moments, you know,
00:04:59.46\00:05:03.57
in the kitchen, and
then Jason joins you.
00:05:03.60\00:05:05.53
Yeah. And that's fun.
00:05:05.57\00:05:07.34
So I just think it's
gonna be such a great program.
00:05:07.37\00:05:10.31
When you did the Eat
it Segments, you know,
00:05:10.34\00:05:12.84
you grew up knowing how to eat
00:05:12.87\00:05:16.71
'cause your mom and dad were big
00:05:16.75\00:05:19.01
or really proponents of
eating healthily and all that.
00:05:19.05\00:05:23.25
Tell us a bit
about how you grew up
00:05:23.28\00:05:25.82
with healthy food?
00:05:25.85\00:05:27.69
Wow!
00:05:27.72\00:05:29.06
Oatmeal burgers,
eggplant sandwiches,
00:05:29.09\00:05:31.53
the things that are
considered gourmet meals today.
00:05:31.56\00:05:35.03
Well, that was our school lunch.
00:05:35.06\00:05:36.50
And we were
actually the only ones.
00:05:36.53\00:05:39.07
So we would peep
into our sandwich
00:05:39.10\00:05:40.90
and, mind you, our
bread was homemade,
00:05:40.94\00:05:43.27
so we'd have thick slices
of homemade delicious bread.
00:05:43.30\00:05:46.68
With almond butter.
00:05:46.71\00:05:48.04
We appreciate it
now, but then it's like,
00:05:48.08\00:05:49.41
"Okay, what, oh,
what's inside that?"
00:05:49.44\00:05:50.78
We know it was delicious.
00:05:50.81\00:05:52.15
Almond butter was a...
00:05:52.18\00:05:53.52
Delicious with
almond butter, we taste.
00:05:53.55\00:05:54.88
Cucumber sandwich and
mayonnaise with tomatoes.
00:05:54.92\00:05:56.25
Cucumber
sandwiches, eggplant sandwiches,
00:05:56.28\00:05:58.19
and oatmeal burgers.
00:05:58.22\00:05:59.55
And everyone
would tease us in school
00:05:59.59\00:06:00.92
because they were like, "Ew!
00:06:00.96\00:06:02.29
You have roach sandwich."
00:06:02.32\00:06:03.66
'Cause, you know, dates,
they have that, you know,
00:06:03.69\00:06:05.66
long, you know, cockroaches.
00:06:05.69\00:06:08.23
But it was so
good, but I was like,
00:06:08.26\00:06:09.90
"Mom, why are they
teasing me about this sandwich?
00:06:09.93\00:06:12.53
Can we like, maybe..."
00:06:12.57\00:06:13.90
So she would make us
date spreads, you know.
00:06:13.94\00:06:15.90
And she was so creative
and the food was so appealing.
00:06:15.94\00:06:17.44
She would take...
00:06:17.47\00:06:18.81
We would have potato salad.
00:06:18.84\00:06:21.34
She would make
vegetarian chicken out of glue
00:06:21.38\00:06:24.98
but then we couldn't
buy the gluten flour,
00:06:25.01\00:06:26.65
so you had to wash.
00:06:26.68\00:06:28.02
You need to wash it...
00:06:28.05\00:06:29.38
With the flour...
00:06:29.42\00:06:30.75
And make a tofu...
00:06:30.79\00:06:32.12
And strain it, boil the,
roast the seed to make the...
00:06:32.15\00:06:35.86
The Soy bean. The soy bean.
00:06:35.89\00:06:37.23
No, that was to
make the soy coffee.
00:06:37.26\00:06:38.59
Oh, right.
00:06:38.63\00:06:39.96
Roast the beans
'cause sometimes, sometimes,
00:06:40.00\00:06:41.33
she was always at
work and sometimes,
00:06:41.36\00:06:42.70
she would fall asleep
and the beans would burn.
00:06:42.73\00:06:44.50
But, you know, so
you just know that.
00:06:44.53\00:06:46.87
Because
everything was from scratch,
00:06:46.90\00:06:48.84
you know and
that was like cooking.
00:06:48.87\00:06:51.27
Everything from scratch.
00:06:51.31\00:06:52.81
And we grew up, you know.
00:06:52.84\00:06:54.48
She put us in the
kitchen from young.
00:06:54.51\00:06:56.41
I'll never, I'll always remember
00:06:56.44\00:06:58.18
our first thanksgiving
and we were so proud
00:06:58.21\00:07:00.25
and that's the only picture
we have of our first time,
00:07:00.28\00:07:02.35
but we were cooking from before.
00:07:02.38\00:07:03.72
But mother allowed us
to go in the kitchen...
00:07:03.75\00:07:06.55
When we cooked.
00:07:06.59\00:07:08.42
Wait, wait, wait now.
00:07:08.46\00:07:09.79
There's a little joke about...
00:07:09.82\00:07:11.16
There's a family dynamic here,
00:07:11.19\00:07:12.79
there's a little
family dynamic here.
00:07:12.83\00:07:14.56
Okay, so you all
have to let us in.
00:07:14.60\00:07:16.16
Had the skill and then and there
00:07:16.20\00:07:17.73
she's bragging
about that we cooked.
00:07:17.77\00:07:19.93
But we all cooked.
00:07:19.97\00:07:22.54
I get the feeling there was
a little twist for fortunate...
00:07:22.57\00:07:25.34
You all did a little
bit more than she did.
00:07:25.37\00:07:26.71
I'll taste, put a little
more onion probably in that.
00:07:26.74\00:07:28.08
What we would do is,
00:07:28.11\00:07:29.44
we would throw
parties before we moved away,
00:07:29.48\00:07:32.08
you know, got married,
00:07:32.11\00:07:33.82
and I would organize everything,
00:07:33.85\00:07:35.18
so I organized a
thanksgiving dinner
00:07:35.22\00:07:36.62
and I had to cook
and do my thing in there,
00:07:36.65\00:07:38.75
then, you know, they
just love cooking together,
00:07:38.79\00:07:40.59
we would all do...
00:07:40.62\00:07:41.96
I got you.
00:07:41.99\00:07:43.32
And I would put my diet
and say, yes, we all cooked.
00:07:43.36\00:07:44.69
We let her along in the kitchen.
00:07:44.73\00:07:46.56
No, we all started out in
the kitchen as a joke but...
00:07:46.59\00:07:50.17
We ended up. We were
the last man standing.
00:07:50.20\00:07:53.54
And then I could come back
00:07:53.57\00:07:54.90
and make sure
and overview, taste,
00:07:54.94\00:07:56.27
and make sure
everything was good.
00:07:56.30\00:07:57.64
She's like, "How
is everything going?"
00:07:57.67\00:07:59.01
Beauty nap. But it
was very really good.
00:07:59.04\00:08:01.68
That was our
first thanksgiving meal
00:08:01.71\00:08:03.08
that we cooked a
complete meal up.
00:08:03.11\00:08:04.78
Our parents were
sleeping, we stayed up...
00:08:04.81\00:08:06.65
And they woke up and,
voila. Then you surprised them.
00:08:06.68\00:08:08.68
And they woke up to, yeah,
they woke up and had a spread.
00:08:08.72\00:08:10.99
Yes. So it was really great.
00:08:11.02\00:08:12.35
How sweet is that? It
was a great surprise, yes.
00:08:12.39\00:08:14.56
We learnt this
all from my mom. Yeah.
00:08:14.59\00:08:15.92
She just, she thought us a lot
00:08:15.96\00:08:17.69
of just
techniques in the kitchen
00:08:17.73\00:08:19.49
and how to make
everything from scratch.
00:08:19.53\00:08:21.83
So today, now you can buy,
00:08:21.86\00:08:23.70
you know, your
soy milks and your...
00:08:23.73\00:08:25.43
Your gluten flour. Tofu.
00:08:25.47\00:08:26.90
Right.
00:08:26.94\00:08:28.27
So you don't have to, you
know, it doesn't take that long,
00:08:28.30\00:08:31.14
but we still have it,
you know, it's in us forever.
00:08:31.17\00:08:33.41
And now we teach
our children. Yeah.
00:08:33.44\00:08:35.88
You know, we teach our children.
00:08:35.91\00:08:37.31
And, you know, that's
such an important point
00:08:37.35\00:08:39.51
because there was a
movie called, Soul Food,
00:08:39.55\00:08:43.32
and that movie
showed how a legacy is made.
00:08:43.35\00:08:49.22
So every Sunday, the
family would come over
00:08:49.26\00:08:52.73
and they would have
all this unhealthy food
00:08:52.76\00:08:56.00
and what happened, you know,
00:08:56.03\00:08:57.70
the big mom had hypertension,
00:08:57.73\00:09:00.10
diabetes, cancer, all
kinds of diseases, right?
00:09:00.14\00:09:02.97
Right.
00:09:03.00\00:09:04.34
So there's another
legacy that's been created here.
00:09:04.37\00:09:06.94
Yes.
00:09:06.98\00:09:08.31
And that legacy
is with healthy food.
00:09:08.34\00:09:09.68
Healthy foods. Yeah.
00:09:09.71\00:09:11.05
And you're
teaching your children...
00:09:11.08\00:09:12.41
That's right.
00:09:12.45\00:09:13.78
And that's what we
want for you, viewer,
00:09:13.82\00:09:16.32
we want you to learn
how to create this legacy
00:09:16.35\00:09:20.49
of healthy eating for your kids.
00:09:20.52\00:09:23.09
Yes. 'Cause it's so important.
00:09:23.12\00:09:25.16
It's so important.
00:09:25.19\00:09:26.53
So do your children embrace
it or do they go like, "Ew!
00:09:26.56\00:09:29.80
I don't like it?"
00:09:29.83\00:09:31.17
How do they deal
with it? They eat it.
00:09:31.20\00:09:32.53
They embrace it.
00:09:32.57\00:09:34.27
Especially Gen's children...
00:09:34.30\00:09:35.84
My daughter is in the
kitchen, my son, both of them,
00:09:35.87\00:09:38.37
they both love to cook.
00:09:38.41\00:09:39.74
And John loves to
cook as well. Yeah.
00:09:39.77\00:09:41.11
John is seven years old.
00:09:41.14\00:09:42.48
Now we started cooking
00:09:42.51\00:09:43.85
from the ages of
five, six, seven,
00:09:43.88\00:09:45.21
that's when we
were put in the kitchen
00:09:45.25\00:09:46.58
and we're doing the same thing.
00:09:46.61\00:09:47.95
With our children.
00:09:47.98\00:09:49.32
Repeating that like the same...
00:09:49.35\00:09:50.69
My daughter Sarah will
make waffles, wonderful waffles.
00:09:50.72\00:09:52.12
You know,
they'll make smoothies.
00:09:52.15\00:09:53.69
And ask you for
it, for the smoothies,
00:09:53.72\00:09:55.82
that with the garlic.
00:09:55.86\00:09:57.63
Yeah.
00:09:57.66\00:09:58.99
With the... If it's not green.
00:09:59.03\00:10:00.36
That's right. That's right.
What's wrong with my smoothie.
00:10:00.40\00:10:01.73
I need some kind
of spin it to a...
00:10:01.76\00:10:03.10
So they've definitely embraced
00:10:03.13\00:10:05.00
the lifestyle of the
cooking and everything.
00:10:05.03\00:10:06.80
My daughter will
make a full meal,
00:10:06.84\00:10:09.14
she can make macaroni
and cheese, corn bread...
00:10:09.17\00:10:11.04
How old is she?
00:10:11.07\00:10:12.41
She's 12 now, she's 12. Wow!
00:10:12.44\00:10:14.34
But she's been
cooking for a long time.
00:10:14.38\00:10:16.04
So we always tease her
that she is like her aunt TT
00:10:16.08\00:10:18.31
because Tai is the,
00:10:18.35\00:10:19.68
she's the one out of
all of us, she is the cook.
00:10:19.71\00:10:22.42
She's gourmet, she's everything.
00:10:22.45\00:10:23.79
She'll lay a spread.
00:10:23.82\00:10:25.15
Tai, she's always
loved to cook from day one.
00:10:25.19\00:10:26.52
And my daughter
just, she's been really,
00:10:26.55\00:10:28.49
she's been attracted
to cooking for so long.
00:10:28.52\00:10:30.93
As so they cook together.
00:10:30.96\00:10:32.29
My son loves to bake
00:10:32.33\00:10:33.66
and she loves
to just really cook
00:10:33.70\00:10:35.06
and play around in the kitchen.
00:10:35.10\00:10:36.43
So they, yeah. So all
this is vegan cooking?
00:10:36.46\00:10:38.63
This is all vegan
cooking. That's right.
00:10:38.67\00:10:40.24
And so your children know
00:10:40.27\00:10:42.60
how to make vegan
meals and this is...
00:10:42.64\00:10:44.87
They know to use
00:10:44.91\00:10:46.54
all the different
derivates of milk or butters.
00:10:46.57\00:10:50.95
Just different
things and nobody even asks,
00:10:50.98\00:10:52.55
like when we go out,
take them out to eat, my son,
00:10:52.58\00:10:55.62
he's, Samuel,
he's 7 years old now
00:10:55.65\00:10:57.79
and he'll be
like, "Is this vegan?"
00:10:57.82\00:11:00.52
Is that what? I'm
like, "Samy, shh..."
00:11:00.56\00:11:02.52
Is that what? "Is this vegan?"
00:11:02.56\00:11:03.89
Oh, vegan.
00:11:03.93\00:11:06.43
"Mommy, is there milk in there?"
00:11:06.46\00:11:07.86
He will ask such questions.
00:11:07.90\00:11:09.26
He'll ask
questions like, I mean,
00:11:09.30\00:11:11.80
I became an advent label
reader after I met my husband
00:11:11.83\00:11:16.17
'cause he used to
just juice everything.
00:11:16.20\00:11:20.11
When I met him, his skin
was just, I mean, juice it.
00:11:20.14\00:11:23.78
His cart was full with
just vegetables and juice
00:11:23.81\00:11:26.28
and, you know, my son, we just,
00:11:26.31\00:11:29.55
you know, "Mommy,
you know, just juice,"
00:11:29.58\00:11:31.62
you know, juices every morning
00:11:31.65\00:11:33.56
and shakes and
all kind of things.
00:11:33.59\00:11:35.02
Wheatgrass smoothies
with bananas and milk.
00:11:35.06\00:11:38.46
The kids like wheatgrass?
Yeah, but we hide it.
00:11:38.49\00:11:43.20
So when you put a sweet banana
00:11:43.23\00:11:45.30
in with the
wheatgrass, it's delicious.
00:11:45.33\00:11:47.77
You know, the palate,
00:11:47.80\00:11:49.14
you know, we
want it to not only,
00:11:49.17\00:11:50.61
we want it to taste good, okay?
00:11:50.64\00:11:52.94
So we have to
know how to mask it.
00:11:52.97\00:11:55.71
So we put it in smoothies.
00:11:55.74\00:11:57.08
We have wheatgrass every morning
00:11:57.11\00:11:58.58
and it goes into the smoothie.
00:11:58.61\00:12:00.45
My children
will be looking at me
00:12:00.48\00:12:02.18
and they would drink
it because I tell them
00:12:02.22\00:12:03.55
but it would take us 30 minutes,
00:12:03.59\00:12:05.02
we'll be late for
school every morning,
00:12:05.05\00:12:06.39
'cause they drink it slow
00:12:06.42\00:12:07.76
and, "Mommy, my
stomach is hurting."
00:12:07.79\00:12:09.89
So they drink it
every morning, no problem,
00:12:09.92\00:12:11.39
'cause it's in the smoothie
and they get their nutrients.
00:12:11.43\00:12:13.83
And see, I think that's another
important point for the viewers
00:12:13.86\00:12:17.10
to know is that,
00:12:17.13\00:12:19.07
you're showing them
00:12:19.10\00:12:21.10
how to take these
00:12:21.14\00:12:23.67
different vegetables
and fruits and things,
00:12:23.71\00:12:25.61
put them in smoothies
00:12:25.64\00:12:26.98
so that they get the
nutrients that they need.
00:12:27.01\00:12:28.38
Right.
00:12:28.41\00:12:29.74
So children who are,
like, in the morning,
00:12:29.78\00:12:32.35
you might be rushing,
00:12:32.38\00:12:33.72
you don't really have time
to do like a big, big spread.
00:12:33.75\00:12:36.02
Sometimes, there's
just time for a smoothie.
00:12:36.05\00:12:38.09
And it's all in the smoothie.
And it's all in the smoothie.
00:12:38.12\00:12:40.26
And, you know,
you get all of your,
00:12:40.29\00:12:42.16
you know, they say
your fruits and veggies,
00:12:42.19\00:12:43.53
you have your recommended
five to seven servings a day,
00:12:43.56\00:12:46.23
so it's all in a jar.
00:12:46.26\00:12:47.60
And we put it in the mason jar.
00:12:47.63\00:12:48.96
So we'll say,
"What's in your MJ?"
00:12:49.00\00:12:51.07
'Cause every morning,
in my MJ, my mason jar,
00:12:51.10\00:12:54.27
there's some type of smoothie
whether it's green, orange,
00:12:54.30\00:12:57.14
purple, yellow...
00:12:57.17\00:12:58.51
We're the groupie.
00:12:58.54\00:13:00.31
So every
morning when they'll go,
00:13:00.34\00:13:01.68
they'll have their mason jars
while they're going to school.
00:13:01.71\00:13:03.61
Baby jams,
that's what we call it.
00:13:03.65\00:13:05.35
The vegetables, the
color of the vegetables.
00:13:05.38\00:13:07.05
Yeah, oh, that's so
neat. That's so neat.
00:13:07.08\00:13:09.52
I love the way the
program is structured.
00:13:09.55\00:13:12.29
Eat it, juice it, wear it,
00:13:12.32\00:13:15.46
because that's also creative,
00:13:15.49\00:13:17.33
you know, and everybody
can get something from that.
00:13:17.36\00:13:19.86
Yeah, right.
00:13:19.89\00:13:21.23
I happen to have the recipes
00:13:21.26\00:13:22.80
and the recipes are
gonna be up on the website.
00:13:22.83\00:13:24.57
But I have the recipes
and I'm just, I'm so excited.
00:13:24.60\00:13:28.40
I had the wrap. The tuna wrap.
00:13:28.44\00:13:32.44
The tuna wrap, oh,
00:13:32.47\00:13:34.78
you all have to
make that for my family.
00:13:34.81\00:13:36.95
I'm excited.
00:13:36.98\00:13:38.31
And it's diverse,
you can use it as a dip.
00:13:38.35\00:13:40.58
Yeah.
00:13:40.62\00:13:42.45
You can spread in your sandwich.
00:13:42.48\00:13:43.82
It's simple.
00:13:43.85\00:13:45.49
You know, a side
dish. Right, side dish.
00:13:45.52\00:13:47.66
No fuss in the kitchen.
00:13:47.69\00:13:49.56
Yeah, and see
that's the other thing.
00:13:49.59\00:13:51.19
We're a
microwave society. Right.
00:13:51.23\00:13:53.29
You know, we want it
now, we don't want to,
00:13:53.33\00:13:55.06
you know, put too much time in.
00:13:55.10\00:13:57.13
It's understandable
because everybody's busy
00:13:57.17\00:13:59.73
but there are certain
things you just have to do.
00:13:59.77\00:14:03.10
So one of the things
00:14:03.14\00:14:04.47
that you guys
are showing is that,
00:14:04.51\00:14:05.84
you know, you can pre-do things,
00:14:05.87\00:14:07.21
like the waffles that you
make, you can freeze them.
00:14:07.24\00:14:09.44
Freeze them.
00:14:09.48\00:14:10.81
You can, you
know, juice it home,
00:14:10.85\00:14:13.25
you know, all of
the stuff and it's good,
00:14:13.28\00:14:15.35
so it kind of, yes,
00:14:15.38\00:14:16.79
because we have to have,
00:14:16.82\00:14:18.65
we can't be in the
kitchen for hours, right?
00:14:18.69\00:14:20.16
Right. It's just impractical.
00:14:20.19\00:14:21.82
Right. So it really works.
00:14:21.86\00:14:23.99
Yeah, a lot of people think
00:14:24.03\00:14:25.36
that it takes a lot
longer to do what we're doing
00:14:25.39\00:14:28.46
but as you can see,
00:14:28.50\00:14:30.33
as the viewers will
see as we share with them,
00:14:30.37\00:14:31.90
it takes two
minutes to make a smoothie.
00:14:31.93\00:14:33.27
That's right. Not even seconds.
00:14:33.30\00:14:35.14
Then you can
pre-bag. That's right.
00:14:35.17\00:14:36.94
Before you froze
them, you just...
00:14:36.97\00:14:39.51
Put it all in
the bag, one serving.
00:14:39.54\00:14:40.88
There you go.
00:14:40.91\00:14:42.24
You buy it in the
Walmart like that.
00:14:42.28\00:14:43.61
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:14:43.65\00:14:45.18
In the can or in
the freezer. Right.
00:14:45.21\00:14:47.92
No, this is really, really good.
00:14:47.95\00:14:50.15
It's such a blessing.
00:14:50.19\00:14:51.52
Let's talk a bit
about your background
00:14:51.55\00:14:54.06
because I think the
viewers need to know
00:14:54.09\00:14:56.22
where you were,
where you grew up,
00:14:56.26\00:14:58.69
how your parents were,
00:14:58.73\00:15:00.16
and talk about your childhood?
00:15:00.20\00:15:02.66
Well... Okay.
00:15:02.70\00:15:04.03
Like Tai, she likes to say,
"From the hood to the woods."
00:15:04.07\00:15:07.94
We grew up in Bronx, New York.
00:15:07.97\00:15:09.30
Oh, in the Bronx. Wow!
00:15:09.34\00:15:11.17
Not in the upper
Bronx Or Riverdale section,
00:15:11.21\00:15:13.81
but, you know,
right in the hood.
00:15:13.84\00:15:16.14
Webster Avenue.
00:15:16.18\00:15:17.51
How did that
impact you growing up?
00:15:17.55\00:15:20.22
I mean, what did
you see around you?
00:15:20.25\00:15:22.28
Well, because of the
way our mom was so creative
00:15:22.32\00:15:25.75
with how she raised us,
we thought that we were,
00:15:25.79\00:15:29.12
well, she raised
us to be princesses.
00:15:29.16\00:15:31.86
Okay.
00:15:31.89\00:15:33.26
But we didn't realize
that we were in the hood.
00:15:33.29\00:15:35.60
We didn't realize because,
00:15:35.63\00:15:37.07
you know, we
woke up every morning,
00:15:37.10\00:15:38.43
we had brush up and we had our,
00:15:38.47\00:15:40.74
you know, wonderful food,
we had dinner in the morning.
00:15:40.77\00:15:42.57
Very ideal lifestyle.
00:15:42.60\00:15:43.94
She has really tried
to raise us according to,
00:15:43.97\00:15:45.91
you know, the councils.
00:15:45.94\00:15:47.28
And they really
tried to protect us
00:15:47.31\00:15:48.64
from what's outside,
00:15:48.68\00:15:50.01
our dad didn't let us
go outside by ourselves.
00:15:50.05\00:15:51.38
Right. I mean, we couldn't.
00:15:51.41\00:15:53.52
In fact, we were
known as the girls,
00:15:53.55\00:15:55.32
the Christian
girls, the Bible girls,
00:15:55.35\00:15:57.15
and when they saw
my dad, they nodded.
00:15:57.19\00:16:00.59
They would nod and put
their hand behind their back.
00:16:00.62\00:16:02.59
And they would nod
00:16:02.62\00:16:03.96
with the sign of
respect to my dad.
00:16:03.99\00:16:05.33
Hi, they called him a Reverend.
00:16:05.36\00:16:06.70
They called Papa, the Reverend.
00:16:06.73\00:16:08.06
They would see
us with our Bibles,
00:16:08.10\00:16:09.43
going to the church.
00:16:09.46\00:16:10.80
He was such a wonderful man.
00:16:10.83\00:16:12.73
I mean, everybody that knew him,
00:16:12.77\00:16:14.77
I never heard
anything bad said about him,
00:16:14.80\00:16:17.21
he was just a wonderful man.
00:16:17.24\00:16:20.34
Tell us a bit about him, about
your dad and what happened?
00:16:20.38\00:16:24.55
Wow, well.
00:16:24.58\00:16:26.48
Our dad, you
know, like as you said,
00:16:26.51\00:16:28.68
he is a wonderful man of God.
00:16:28.72\00:16:31.52
Just treated us like princesses
and our mom as a queen.
00:16:31.55\00:16:36.83
And you don't have
any brothers, right?
00:16:36.86\00:16:38.19
We have no brothers. So
it's just the girls and dad
00:16:38.23\00:16:41.43
We adored our dad
could do no wrong.
00:16:41.46\00:16:44.63
We love our mother to death
00:16:44.67\00:16:46.00
but it was like, you
know, every, they say,
00:16:46.03\00:16:48.07
every woman needs a son
00:16:48.10\00:16:49.44
and every father
needs a daughter.
00:16:49.47\00:16:50.97
So he had daddy's girls.
00:16:51.01\00:16:52.34
Daddy's girls. Yeah.
00:16:52.37\00:16:53.71
And, you know, if it
was, you know, disciplined,
00:16:53.74\00:16:57.45
he didn't even have to tell,
00:16:57.48\00:16:59.41
he was just
gentle and it was like,
00:16:59.45\00:17:01.18
"Okay, Poppy,
we're sorry," you know,
00:17:01.22\00:17:03.08
but we called our dad, Poppy.
00:17:03.12\00:17:06.19
He was just a wonderful man,
he was a respiratory therapist.
00:17:06.22\00:17:10.76
A respiratory
therapist practitioner
00:17:10.79\00:17:12.86
and he worked at
New York University
00:17:12.89\00:17:15.26
for many years, excuse
me, NYU, for many years.
00:17:15.30\00:17:17.53
New York University
is affiliated with NYU.
00:17:17.57\00:17:20.14
He worked there for many
years and then when he retired,
00:17:20.17\00:17:25.24
NYU hospital in the city,
00:17:25.27\00:17:26.61
and he transitioned
from there and he came...
00:17:26.64\00:17:29.04
Closer to retirement age.
00:17:29.08\00:17:30.41
Closer to retirement age,
00:17:30.45\00:17:32.01
and he started working at
Orange Regional Medical Center
00:17:32.05\00:17:35.88
which is in upstate New York,
where my, where we live now...
00:17:35.92\00:17:38.42
"Because like we said...
To the woods from the hoods."
00:17:38.45\00:17:43.22
So he went back to school,
00:17:43.26\00:17:45.36
did he go back to school
00:17:45.39\00:17:46.86
to learn respiratory therapy
to get you out of the hood?
00:17:46.90\00:17:50.13
Yeah. Well, all of that.
00:17:50.17\00:17:51.73
While we were there, yes.
00:17:51.77\00:17:53.10
While we were
there, he went to school
00:17:53.13\00:17:54.47
because they got
married very young,
00:17:54.50\00:17:55.84
my mother's from
Guatemala, Central America
00:17:55.87\00:17:58.04
and when they met at church,
00:17:58.07\00:17:59.57
my mom came to this country
when she was 18 years old.
00:17:59.61\00:18:02.14
She spoke no English, my
dad was a handsome dapper,
00:18:02.18\00:18:06.05
just from the
army, wearing his bowtie,
00:18:06.08\00:18:08.12
always just impeccably, okay.
00:18:08.15\00:18:10.72
He's a man of Georgia
00:18:10.75\00:18:12.09
and he saw her and he said wow!.
00:18:12.12\00:18:16.52
That was it.
00:18:16.56\00:18:18.19
He said, "My name is Jong
Lee 'cause he's from the south."
00:18:18.23\00:18:21.13
He said, "And if
you teach me Spanish,
00:18:21.16\00:18:22.93
I'll teach you English."
00:18:22.96\00:18:25.53
And the rest is history.
00:18:25.57\00:18:27.27
But, I mean, basically,
you know, they were young
00:18:27.30\00:18:29.20
when they got
married and they had...
00:18:29.24\00:18:30.81
And they made a decision
00:18:30.84\00:18:32.17
which is very
critical for people to now,
00:18:32.21\00:18:34.71
to have a home that is ordained
00:18:34.74\00:18:38.51
and structured
by the way of God.
00:18:38.55\00:18:40.02
So they read the Bible together,
00:18:40.05\00:18:41.98
they read counsels together,
00:18:42.02\00:18:43.35
and whatever is
said to do, they did.
00:18:43.39\00:18:45.75
Adventist home,
councils on diet, in fact,
00:18:45.79\00:18:48.29
and this is another point
00:18:48.32\00:18:49.82
that is very
important to mention,
00:18:49.86\00:18:52.69
they educated us.
00:18:52.73\00:18:54.06
It wasn't just living.
00:18:54.10\00:18:55.43
They set us down
00:18:55.46\00:18:56.80
and we had to
read those councils.
00:18:56.83\00:18:58.60
We read councils on diet,
00:18:58.63\00:18:59.97
so we were able to understand
00:19:00.00\00:19:02.04
why we were eating the way,
00:19:02.07\00:19:04.47
you know, our lifestyle,
this healthy lifestyle.
00:19:04.51\00:19:06.01
They didn't live,
00:19:06.04\00:19:07.38
"You do as I say
than read, this is why..."
00:19:07.41\00:19:08.84
And their passion
00:19:08.88\00:19:10.21
was to leave the
city, the projects,
00:19:10.25\00:19:12.45
and get the
girls for the country.
00:19:12.48\00:19:14.02
Right, because that
was part of the council,
00:19:14.05\00:19:15.42
because that's
a better lifestyle
00:19:15.45\00:19:16.85
to raise a family.
00:19:16.89\00:19:18.22
Our mom sent us like in
the summers to Guatemala,
00:19:18.25\00:19:20.86
like especially, my dad,
he did a very intense program,
00:19:20.89\00:19:23.46
so we could be out of the way,
00:19:23.49\00:19:24.93
so we got to know that culture
and with our grandmother,
00:19:24.96\00:19:29.26
our heartiest tears and tears
00:19:29.30\00:19:30.87
and my dad would
be studying very hard
00:19:30.90\00:19:32.83
and I remember, he graduated
and we were so proud of him.
00:19:32.87\00:19:37.51
He went to NYU.
00:19:37.54\00:19:39.17
And he began to... He
became the supervisor,
00:19:39.21\00:19:41.71
and finally, we moved upstate.
00:19:41.74\00:19:45.35
Right. We were
much older, finally.
00:19:45.38\00:19:47.55
You were teens?
00:19:47.58\00:19:48.92
Yeah, and then we were in
high school, then college,
00:19:48.95\00:19:52.39
and he worked up
there until he retired.
00:19:52.42\00:19:56.96
And then, you know,
he just, he became ill,
00:19:56.99\00:20:00.60
suddenly ill two years ago.
00:20:00.63\00:20:03.30
He was in the army in Vietnam.
00:20:03.33\00:20:06.13
He was a soldier,
00:20:06.17\00:20:07.50
and like years
back, maybe 15 years ago,
00:20:07.54\00:20:10.37
they realized that there were,
00:20:10.41\00:20:12.11
we have beta
cells in our pancreas,
00:20:12.14\00:20:13.91
that helps for this insulin
00:20:13.94\00:20:15.58
and he only had two
00:20:15.61\00:20:17.08
and they would
always joke with me
00:20:17.11\00:20:18.55
and my sisters
and my mom and say,
00:20:18.58\00:20:20.18
"Well, you had
your dad's genes,"
00:20:20.22\00:20:21.62
so you would like,
00:20:21.65\00:20:22.98
we can live with two
but if we get to one,
00:20:23.02\00:20:26.02
like we start having issues
00:20:26.05\00:20:27.59
but if they can be
donated or there can be a donor.
00:20:27.62\00:20:30.39
They would say, "You can donate,
00:20:30.43\00:20:31.76
you know, to your dad"
00:20:31.79\00:20:33.13
but, you know, I
don't know but anyhow,
00:20:33.16\00:20:35.43
suddenly two years
ago, you know, he was,
00:20:35.46\00:20:38.03
we realized he was ill.
00:20:38.07\00:20:40.14
He was losing weight
00:20:40.17\00:20:41.50
and just couldn't
understand what was happening,
00:20:41.54\00:20:43.27
became weak and they
found out that he had,
00:20:43.30\00:20:46.88
we found out he had
cancer and six weeks later...
00:20:46.91\00:20:51.05
Pancreatic cancer.
00:20:51.08\00:20:52.98
Six months later? Six weeks.
00:20:53.01\00:20:55.65
After the diagnosis,
00:20:55.68\00:20:57.02
they gave him
three to six months
00:20:57.05\00:20:59.25
and he was gone
within six weeks,
00:20:59.29\00:21:01.49
but our dad had,
00:21:01.52\00:21:03.12
he's always had a
quiet and gentle spirit,
00:21:03.16\00:21:06.03
that he was like,
00:21:06.06\00:21:07.40
whatever my life in
this world, you know.
00:21:07.43\00:21:09.80
Yes.
00:21:09.83\00:21:13.50
So Poppy, so people would say,
Hezekiah, they served Hezekiah,
00:21:13.54\00:21:19.04
King Hezekiah.
00:21:19.07\00:21:20.91
Why don't you ask
God to extend your life?
00:21:20.94\00:21:22.28
And Poppy said, no.
00:21:22.31\00:21:23.65
Whatever is my
lot, if this is my time,
00:21:23.68\00:21:25.51
the patriarchs of old,
they did not live forever.
00:21:25.55\00:21:27.88
He told Moses,
00:21:27.92\00:21:29.25
"This is your time,
go to the mountain."
00:21:29.28\00:21:30.69
He told Abraham, "This is..."
00:21:30.72\00:21:32.05
Everybody had their time
00:21:32.09\00:21:33.42
and Poppy knew
that and Poppy said,
00:21:33.46\00:21:35.89
"This is my time, I
will not extend it."
00:21:35.92\00:21:37.63
In fact, this was
the time when we were...
00:21:37.66\00:21:40.06
We were coming out here.
00:21:40.10\00:21:42.70
But also right before
we want to see as well,
00:21:42.73\00:21:45.67
join the conference.
00:21:45.70\00:21:47.04
At that time, we didn't realize
00:21:47.07\00:21:48.87
how serious things
were in terms of his time,
00:21:48.90\00:21:52.17
but Poppy did and we
had, I remember, literally,
00:21:52.21\00:21:55.24
we had our
clothes out on the bed
00:21:55.28\00:21:56.61
and we were debating,
"Should we go, should we not?"
00:21:56.64\00:21:59.68
We had to sing for
the general conference.
00:21:59.71\00:22:01.28
Right.
00:22:01.32\00:22:02.65
And we told
Poppy, we will not go.
00:22:02.68\00:22:04.02
And Poppy said,
00:22:04.05\00:22:05.39
"You were called and anointed
for this time, you're going."
00:22:05.42\00:22:06.76
Yeah.
00:22:06.79\00:22:08.12
I will be here
when you get back.
00:22:08.16\00:22:09.49
Literally, Poppy said that.
00:22:09.52\00:22:11.09
Yes, he did.
00:22:11.13\00:22:12.86
And we went, we sang,
00:22:12.89\00:22:16.43
and we came back
00:22:16.46\00:22:17.80
and which is very
interesting though.
00:22:17.83\00:22:19.17
And he died on Tuesday.
00:22:19.20\00:22:20.54
Yes, now you have to
give the facts of that
00:22:20.57\00:22:21.90
what led up to that
00:22:21.94\00:22:23.27
because we didn't
stay for the whole time.
00:22:23.30\00:22:24.94
We were scheduled to sing twice,
00:22:24.97\00:22:26.81
something impressed
us to come home early,
00:22:26.84\00:22:30.08
so we left that Friday,
00:22:30.11\00:22:31.45
changed our
flight and came back,
00:22:31.48\00:22:32.81
and thank God that we did.
00:22:32.85\00:22:34.18
That was the Holy
Spirit. It was the Holy Spirit.
00:22:34.22\00:22:35.95
He had a Sabbath,
00:22:35.98\00:22:37.32
we had a full
Sabbath with Poppy.
00:22:37.35\00:22:38.69
Yes, our last full
Sabbath with Poppy.
00:22:38.72\00:22:40.46
It's so
important to listen to that
00:22:40.49\00:22:42.59
still small voice
of the Holy Spirit
00:22:42.62\00:22:44.26
because if we didn't,
00:22:44.29\00:22:46.13
if we would
have delayed one day,
00:22:46.16\00:22:48.46
that would have been?
00:22:48.50\00:22:49.83
So we spent Sabbath with
Poppy, and sang, had worship...
00:22:49.86\00:22:52.27
We sang to him,
00:22:52.30\00:22:53.64
we laid in the bed
with him, just fellowship.
00:22:53.67\00:22:55.54
And just, you know,
00:22:55.57\00:22:57.11
and when he
realized that it was going,
00:22:57.14\00:23:00.01
he commissioned
us to get the phone
00:23:00.04\00:23:02.18
and he called all of his family,
00:23:02.21\00:23:03.71
his close
friends, he said, goodbye,
00:23:03.75\00:23:05.55
he gave his last words.
00:23:05.58\00:23:06.92
I remember, one
particular niece,
00:23:06.95\00:23:09.38
I won't say her name,
but one particular niece,
00:23:09.42\00:23:11.25
he said, "Please come."
00:23:11.29\00:23:12.62
And I mean, "Okay,
so, and Poppy's dying,"
00:23:12.65\00:23:16.39
When you're dying, I
mean, Taisha, you're a nurse,
00:23:16.42\00:23:19.49
you don't have
strength, you're dying...
00:23:19.53\00:23:20.86
And you're not
thinking about, you know.
00:23:20.90\00:23:22.23
And you're not
thinking about people
00:23:22.26\00:23:23.83
and Poppy rose up in his bed...
00:23:23.87\00:23:27.84
And he called her name
out with so much strength.
00:23:27.87\00:23:29.20
And called her name
with strength and said,
00:23:29.24\00:23:31.71
"Come here."
00:23:31.74\00:23:34.91
And he spoke whatever words,
were his last words to her.
00:23:34.94\00:23:37.48
He asks everyone
to clear the room.
00:23:37.51\00:23:40.98
So he always had a
burden for his family,
00:23:41.02\00:23:43.79
you know, and for
God, and Christian...
00:23:43.82\00:23:45.15
Just for people,
00:23:45.19\00:23:46.52
and just to win
souls was his slogan.
00:23:46.55\00:23:47.89
And we have
those great memories.
00:23:47.92\00:23:49.52
Everybody that knew him knew
00:23:49.56\00:23:52.23
what a lovely godly man he was,
00:23:52.26\00:23:56.00
you know, and what a
team your mom and dad were.
00:23:56.03\00:23:58.93
I mean, just a
powerful team for God
00:23:58.97\00:24:02.54
and we praise God
for the resurrection.
00:24:02.57\00:24:05.24
Yes.
00:24:05.27\00:24:06.61
Because it won't be
long, you know, we can see,
00:24:06.64\00:24:09.41
it won't be long.
00:24:09.44\00:24:10.78
So we could praise him.
00:24:10.81\00:24:14.95
And that's the other
thing. You girls sing.
00:24:14.98\00:24:17.99
So on each program,
00:24:18.02\00:24:20.52
you start the
program with a little ditty.
00:24:20.56\00:24:22.82
Would you do it
for us real quick?
00:24:22.86\00:24:24.46
Okay.
00:24:24.49\00:24:27.00
I like healthy food
00:24:27.03\00:24:29.73
That tastes so good
00:24:29.76\00:24:31.73
I like to eat good food
00:24:31.77\00:24:34.30
What do you say now?
00:24:34.34\00:24:35.87
I like to eat good food
00:24:35.90\00:24:39.81
I like to eat good food
00:24:39.84\00:24:46.88
I love it, I love it.
00:24:46.92\00:24:48.82
And that's what we're
gonna get on Creative Cooking
00:24:48.85\00:24:53.72
and I'm just so
thankful for you.
00:24:53.76\00:24:55.12
We're so excited.
Yeah, God has blessed you.
00:24:55.16\00:24:59.29
God is so good.
00:24:59.33\00:25:00.66
We're just
thankful to our parents
00:25:00.70\00:25:02.23
and to our husbands
00:25:02.26\00:25:03.60
who, you know,
allow us to come out
00:25:03.63\00:25:05.40
because they're
home with the kids.
00:25:05.43\00:25:07.84
Yeah. They are
really holding down.
00:25:07.87\00:25:09.20
They would cry and
say, "Mommy, can we come?
00:25:09.24\00:25:11.21
Can we come?"
00:25:11.24\00:25:12.57
We'll say, "Next
time, next time."
00:25:12.61\00:25:14.31
We might have to have
them in there helping you.
00:25:14.34\00:25:16.21
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:16.24\00:25:17.98
Well, they've come before
00:25:18.01\00:25:19.35
and they helped
them before when we came.
00:25:19.38\00:25:22.18
I support 3ABN Today
when we're in the kitchen.
00:25:22.22\00:25:24.52
One of the last ones...
00:25:24.55\00:25:25.89
Washing, and
cutting up, and cooking.
00:25:25.92\00:25:28.12
So they're really grateful
to support our husbands,
00:25:28.16\00:25:30.69
our children so.
00:25:30.73\00:25:32.09
You know, it
takes the whole family.
00:25:32.13\00:25:33.46
It does.
00:25:33.50\00:25:34.83
To, because they
have to share you.
00:25:34.86\00:25:36.56
Yes.
00:25:36.60\00:25:37.93
You know, and they have
to be willing to share you
00:25:37.97\00:25:40.00
because this is a calling.
00:25:40.04\00:25:41.97
This is the
calling, it truly is.
00:25:42.00\00:25:43.44
It's a ministry.
00:25:43.47\00:25:44.81
And it takes the
understanding family too.
00:25:44.84\00:25:48.08
I guess, embrace that.
00:25:48.11\00:25:49.44
And one thing that
Poppy always said, he said,
00:25:49.48\00:25:52.95
"United we
stand, divided we fall,
00:25:52.98\00:25:55.48
but standing
together with Jesus in front,
00:25:55.52\00:25:59.02
we can conquer it all."
00:25:59.05\00:26:00.56
And so that's the
principle that we stand on,
00:26:00.59\00:26:02.72
that's our foundation.
00:26:02.76\00:26:04.46
Prayer is our
motto and, you know,
00:26:04.49\00:26:06.80
we just move forward in that.
00:26:06.83\00:26:08.40
Well, it's
obvious in what you do
00:26:08.43\00:26:11.13
and the way you
present yourselves
00:26:11.17\00:26:13.57
and your dad would be so proud.
00:26:13.60\00:26:18.57
He would be so proud
and I'm proud of you.
00:26:18.61\00:26:21.08
I know your mom is
too. Thank you. Thank you.
00:26:21.11\00:26:23.14
Well, thank you so
much for what you do
00:26:23.18\00:26:24.91
and I can't wait for
you to see this program,
00:26:24.95\00:26:30.02
you're gonna love it.
00:26:30.05\00:26:31.39
Eat it, juice it, and wear it.
00:26:31.42\00:26:35.59
And they're,
they're just gonna love it.
00:26:35.62\00:26:37.69
'Cause the time is coming.
00:26:37.73\00:26:40.96
So, yeah, so keep
focused on the schedule,
00:26:41.00\00:26:47.00
take a look at the schedule
00:26:47.04\00:26:48.37
so that you'll
see when it's airing,
00:26:48.40\00:26:50.97
and then watch
it, and make sure you,
00:26:51.01\00:26:54.54
you know, do these recipes.
00:26:54.58\00:26:57.81
Thank you. Thank you.
00:26:57.85\00:26:59.61
Weren't they inspiring?
00:27:02.92\00:27:04.65
I was so blessed
by that interview
00:27:04.69\00:27:07.72
and just their
testimonies, their spirit,
00:27:07.76\00:27:11.66
and their food is scrumptious.
00:27:11.69\00:27:14.70
Make sure to check
our Dare to Dream schedule
00:27:14.73\00:27:16.80
for the airing dates and
times for Creative Cooking.
00:27:16.83\00:27:20.17
You'll love it, you'll
be able to do these recipes,
00:27:20.20\00:27:23.07
make them at home,
share them with others,
00:27:23.10\00:27:25.51
and share the healthy principles
00:27:25.54\00:27:27.78
that they teach, it's wonderful.
00:27:27.81\00:27:30.11
I felt so inspired.
00:27:30.15\00:27:31.48
I've been trying to
cook those recipes myself
00:27:31.51\00:27:34.05
and they are coming
out great, I have to say.
00:27:34.08\00:27:37.25
So make sure that you try it too
00:27:37.29\00:27:39.35
and make sure
that you tell others
00:27:39.39\00:27:40.92
to tune into Creative Cooking.
00:27:40.96\00:27:42.86
It's a new cooking program
with a different feel to it.
00:27:42.89\00:27:47.10
It's got a
different flavor, so to speak.
00:27:47.13\00:27:49.86
I know that's a pun.
00:27:49.90\00:27:51.23
Anyway, I hope
00:27:51.27\00:27:52.67
that you'll be
blessed by the program.
00:27:52.70\00:27:55.27
Well, we've reached
the end of another program.
00:27:55.30\00:27:57.47
Join us next time
00:27:57.51\00:27:58.84
'cause it wouldn't
be the same without you.
00:27:58.87\00:28:00.48
