01:07 Hello, and welcome to our 3ABN Today cooking program.
01:12 We are the Micheff Sisters.
01:14 I'm Linda, I'm Brenda. And I'm Cinda.
01:18 We're so excited that you've joined us today
01:20 'cause we have an exciting program
01:22 planned for you, right sis?
01:24 Exactly, do you know what?
01:26 Everybody, I know,
01:28 that's your favorite day of the week,
01:31 it's our favorite day of the week is Sabbath,
01:33 That's right. Yes.
01:35 And so, today we decide to feature Sabbath Dinner.
01:39 Because, how many times Thursday comes and you go!
01:42 Hmm.
01:43 What do we make for Sabbath dinner,
01:46 because you want it to be special
01:48 and you may not have a lot of time.
01:50 That's right.
01:51 But, this way we're gonna give you some ideas,
01:55 I think you're gonna love them.
01:56 Why don't we give them a look
01:58 at what we're gonna prepare today?
02:00 So, we're gonna start with
02:02 Creamy Mushroom Noodles Casserole
02:05 and this has a secret ingredient.
02:07 Yes, it does,
02:08 and I think people would be kind of surprise
02:10 about the secret ingredient.
02:12 And we also have Reuben Casserole.
02:14 Oh, no.
02:15 I love Reuben sandwiches.
02:17 Then you're gonna love my casserole.
02:18 And then we're going to have Eggplant Roll-Ups.
02:21 Oh. I love eggplant too! I do too.
02:25 Oh. That's wonderful.
02:26 And then Zucchini Noodles with Kale Pesto.
02:29 Now that's a different twist on that, sis,
02:32 you got creative here on this?
02:33 There we go.
02:35 And last but not least Preacher's Cake.
02:37 Now, I bet you're wondering first,
02:39 what is Preacher's Cake?
02:41 What is this and what makes this Preacher's Cake,
02:42 I'm not gonna tell you yet, you got to wait till I make it.
02:45 Making yourself into a daddy.
02:46 I was just gonna say.
02:48 Our dad's a preacher
02:49 and we had our dad every Sabbath
02:53 dinner we have our dad for dinner.
02:56 Dad why did you say that?
02:59 Dad...
03:00 Stop talking about us when you preach.
03:03 And Dad, don't point at me this time.
03:08 Yeah, Dad and Mom had a real good system
03:10 about keeping all their kids in line,
03:13 you know we didn't sat in the back of the church.
03:16 All five of us kids sat up in front
03:18 and that's where dad and mom could keep their eye on us
03:22 and it was really something.
03:23 I loved it when dad would be preaching
03:25 and we knew dad had the one, two, three system.
03:27 Yeah.
03:28 If you gave you a one finger, if he went one,
03:30 and this is outside the church as well,
03:32 we got the one, two, three.
03:33 It meant warning!
03:35 That's right and if he said two, he meant business.
03:38 And three, meant run.
03:39 Action.
03:44 And so we knew one, two or three,
03:46 you know, if they got to three,
03:48 it was action, it means all over.
03:50 Oh, Daddy, Daddy be preaching and he'd say
03:53 now, brothers and sisters and we'll be on the front row
03:56 and if he saw one of us talking, he'd say,
03:57 let me just tell you and we go...
03:59 And he point, he'd point to the one he is talking to.
04:02 And then we'd go, yeah, you know,
04:03 that's just a one, we're okay.
04:05 And then he go now in another point
04:07 And then he had number two pointed right at us.
04:11 Usually one and two got us, we never,
04:13 we usually had to go to the three
04:15 but if he did and let me tell you
04:17 what now the brothers and sisters,
04:19 oh, boy, we were in trouble.
04:21 But I really like what they did is,
04:23 they all gave us a piece of paper and pens
04:25 and we had to pick certain words.
04:26 That's right.
04:28 And write down how many times
04:29 Daddy said those words whether it was Jesus,
04:31 or God, or the Bible,
04:33 and so you had to listen really close to see
04:36 who could get the most points.
04:38 Oh, our Dad would have us guess
04:40 which word was the special word in that sermon,
04:42 and so we would be listening trying to find,
04:44 I think it's this word and write that down,
04:46 maybe it's this word, we'll write that down
04:47 and he would have us so that we're actually
04:49 listening to the sermon.
04:51 Yeah, he was pretty smart on his part.
04:53 And you know even to this day, I look forward to Sabbath.
04:57 I do too, and I love,
04:58 and I not only look forward to Sabbath in church
05:01 but also Sabbath was a special day
05:04 in our home and Sabbath dinner was special too.
05:06 We always had people over
05:09 and we never knew who Mom and Dad were gonna invite
05:11 because every Sabbath
05:13 they would look around the church
05:15 and they would look to see
05:17 who didn't have a place to go, who was visiting?
05:19 Or who just looked like they were having a bad day.
05:22 Well, what I really like is that Mom would say,
05:25 she would say, okay now I want you girls are,
05:28 you all of us to look around and see who is sitting
05:31 all by themselves and let me know
05:34 and then I'm gonna ask them to come for lunch today.
05:36 Yeah.
05:37 And so, we were taught little on to notice who was alone,
05:41 who didn't have anybody,
05:43 who, you know to go to meals with
05:45 and so we would give our eye witness report.
05:48 Yes, that's right
05:49 And go and say, Mom, it's that lady over there,
05:51 it's that man over there.
05:52 And that's really teaching your children
05:54 to share God's love, that's what that really is.
05:57 And you know what else she would do
05:58 is not only did she always include and get involved
06:03 all five of us kids helping cook
06:06 but, us girls got to decorate the table.
06:09 And Sabbath dinner was special. That was fun.
06:10 Sabbath dinner...
06:12 We could be creative... It was just thrown together.
06:13 Sabbath was planned...
06:15 It was planned. and special.
06:16 And you are right,
06:18 even the way the tables set,
06:19 our best dishes were laid out there.
06:21 Linda always had to have the blue glasses
06:25 that somebody gave Mom.
06:27 Hey, you guys I still have there was one left
06:29 and I still have it in a box.
06:32 And I keep it because it was something
06:34 that was so special to me,
06:35 I looked forward to it as a child,
06:37 I knew on Sabbath we would have this blue goblets.
06:40 And so when mom was,
06:42 you know, had one left after all these years
06:45 she gave it to me and sometimes I...
06:48 And rightly so, you are the one that should have it
06:52 because it was your favorite.
06:54 That's sweet of you, guys. Yeah, that's true.
06:57 Well speaking of favorite,
06:58 we have an incredible recipes
07:00 in that you have for them which was about variation
07:03 of our favorite from our childhood actually,
07:05 but you've taken it and given it
07:07 a whole different twist.
07:08 It was, we have a surprise ingredient
07:11 that you are going to see and I'm gonna read
07:13 the recipe for you and you're gonna notice
07:15 there is a surprise ingredient in here.
08:07 Hmm...
08:08 And I'm guessing that the viewers
08:10 still haven't figured out what that secret ingredient is.
08:13 No. Have you?
08:15 You'll be surprised.
08:16 Okay, sis, can you turn on, I put my oil in
08:20 and I like to use the extra virgin olive oil,
08:23 I like the flavor that it gives.
08:26 Do I turn this one on too?
08:27 Not yet. Okay.
08:28 Okay, so... Can I put this in here?
08:31 Yes, you can
08:32 and that will give us more room here.
08:34 Okay, we're gonna,
08:35 I like to saute my fresh garlic
08:39 and this is fresh garlic because it gives it
08:43 just a little better flavor,
08:46 just the intensity of the flavor
08:48 I think comes out better and with this,
08:51 there we can shake it all in because it's,
08:55 that's good, that's good.
08:58 Okay, so let's...
09:00 We'll let that saute just a little bit
09:03 and now we're gonna get to our sauce
09:05 when that gets just a little bit brown,
09:08 just golden then we'll add it to our sauce,
09:11 but our secret ingredient for our sauce is cauliflower...
09:15 Hmm...
09:16 So I have already cooked this cauliflower
09:19 and it's very soft, so you can tell, I mean,
09:23 I can almost mush it with a fork.
09:24 You can do it
09:26 I can, so that's how soft it is,
09:28 so you're gonna want that to be really soft.
09:32 So we're gonna put that in here
09:36 and I noticed how Brenda
09:37 strategically moved away from this.
09:42 I don't miss much.
09:47 I don't really... I don't like...
09:49 I don't like doing those food processor,
09:51 they tend to blow up on me and things like that.
09:54 Although usually she blows them up
09:57 and the food goes on me.
10:00 Well, that's happen a couple of times I bet.
10:02 Okay, I'm gonna add the onion powder, and the salt,
10:09 the nutritional yeast flakes,
10:12 and then this is the unsweetened regular
10:16 flavored almond milk.
10:18 Okay, there you go.
10:20 We got a real team here going, she answered to me
10:21 Oh, hey, what's the deal here?
10:24 Oh were they brown?
10:27 Seriously,
10:28 I can dress her up, I just can't take her out.
10:31 Okay.
10:33 I just can't take your garlic out.
10:37 Well, we got a little roasted garlic going on here.
10:40 We have roasted garlic now.
10:41 We have roasted garlic.
10:43 That is the probably the secret ingredient.
10:45 It all works.
10:47 And it does smell good.
10:49 Okay, so we're gonna put our lid on and...
10:54 Close our ears
10:56 We're gonna blend it up, may be not...
11:02 It would help if we did this.
11:04 Let's do this.
11:06 You have to plug it in, you know.
11:10 Okay, you ready? Let's try this again.
11:13 And a one, and a two, and a three.
11:15 Fire way!
11:18 You know Mom's, Dad's one, two, three action
11:23 Oh, that's getting really creamy.
11:26 I did the cooking show for Tiny Tots
11:29 this brand new one,
11:30 and the boys all had blenders,
11:33 and so they were all getting ready to start
11:35 and I said now don't start it until Miss Cinda tells you,
11:38 so I just went, gentlemen,
11:42 start your engines.
11:47 And they loved it.
11:49 In fact, those programs are being edited right now,
11:51 you'll get to seen them soon on our 3ABN Kids Network
11:54 and you're gonna love it.
11:56 It's called Tiny Tots' Kitchen.
11:58 There we go, folks, this is our sauce.
12:02 So the cauliflower is the secret ingredient.
12:05 Cauliflower is the secret ingredient.
12:06 Oh, that made a nice sauce.
12:09 I'm actually gonna put it right on top of my noodles.
12:11 Yeah, that makes sense. I'm not gonna mix it in yet.
12:13 Sis, can you take the margarine
12:16 and put it in that big skillet
12:19 and start melting the margarine.
12:22 Okay.
12:23 Do you want it brown because I'm good at that?
12:32 Actually, it won't hurt to have a little bit of brown,
12:35 but I want you to add...
12:37 Thank you very much.
12:39 Okay, well, we're gonna add that later.
12:41 Okay.
12:42 Let me switch places with you again now, now it's safe.
12:44 Of course, you are.
12:46 Okay, we're gonna add our mushrooms,
12:47 these are little bit big,
12:49 so I'm gonna break them in half,
12:51 so if we can just move it on that little bit,
12:56 we're gonna...
12:58 Okay sis, you want to help me?
12:59 Can I just say a good thing in the kitchen,
13:02 with my sister is the funniest thing to do
13:05 and with Cinda, there's never a dull moment,
13:07 wouldn't you agree, Linda?
13:08 Oh, yeah.
13:09 Oh, I don't know what they're talking about.
13:12 Okay, So we're having a mushroom party out.
13:14 Yes. All right.
13:16 Well, let's get into that.
13:17 We're just breaking the mushrooms in half.
13:19 My husband doesn't like them, but I love them.
13:21 Oh, I love them and you know grandpa used to go in the woods
13:24 and get them, he knew how to find
13:26 a really good mushrooms.
13:27 Do you remember that?
13:28 And what's that word taste to eat.
13:30 Yeah, but he got these mushrooms,
13:31 I think they call them chicken in the woods
13:34 or something like that, well, he did those too.
13:37 Well, some mushrooms in the woods
13:38 are not safe to eat...
13:39 Yeah, you have to be careful.
13:41 Well, that's why we always relied on grandpa to do it.
13:44 Okay, okay, ladies, we're gonna have a contest,
13:48 take your mushroom, stand back so who can make the shot.
13:52 Are you ready? No, I'm terrible at sports.
13:54 That was cheating, that wasn't far enough back.
13:56 You're ready?
13:59 Oh, I know, I'm not gonna make it.
14:01 Come on.
14:06 See, nobody ever let me play sport in school.
14:09 That's the reason why.
14:14 But I was a good sport and tried.
14:16 Yes. You were.
14:17 That's true.
14:19 You did.
14:20 Now we're gonna take, this is vegeSal,
14:23 it's my favorite all-purpose seasoning, actually it's...
14:27 they changed, the box actually says spike on the outside
14:31 and then above the big word spike it says vegeSal.
14:34 I just love it
14:36 but you can use your own all-purpose seasoning
14:40 and sprinkle that over the mushrooms.
14:43 And now mushrooms have a lot of water in them
14:48 so they're going to create their own kind of like,
14:51 get little moist and stuff in there, that's good.
14:54 Shall I turn it brown a little bit or is it okay?
14:56 No, I don't think so.
14:57 Okay, we're gonna add our peas.
14:59 Look at the color on those peas.
15:01 Yes, beautiful
15:03 And then fresh chopped spinach. Ah, more color.
15:05 And as you can see, I'm really particular about chopping
15:08 the spinach, it's just uniform even.
15:12 Do you want this sauce in here?
15:13 It doesn't look uniform even to me.
15:16 Okay,
15:18 there you go.
15:22 Okay.
15:23 Now it doesn't take long for your spinach to wilt down
15:27 and so what we're gonna do is,
15:30 it wilts down in probably in about 60 seconds,
15:33 sometimes it'll take maybe 120 seconds.
15:39 That was close, sis.
15:40 So
15:42 but it does, you see it wilting fast,
15:47 so while that's wilting,
15:49 let's add our sauce to our noodles...
15:54 and...
15:55 That sauce looks absolutely delicious
15:58 and it looks so creamy just like a gravy or something,
16:01 or cheesy sauce or something.
16:02 It is.
16:04 Also you can make some gravy like that.
16:05 You could.
16:06 You know, you could use this for all kinds of things.
16:09 I actually was out visiting David and Catie,
16:13 my kids and I made this and David finished it up,
16:16 he got home from the hospital and he was like, oh, mom,
16:19 that's so good, is there anything left?
16:22 Okay, so we're gonna mix this up,
16:25 and clearly Brenda must have got me the bowl.
16:29 We all know that Brenda doesn't eye ball
16:31 the size of the bowl very good.
16:34 But I love you. Everybody tells me that...
16:37 But since you're challenging me.
16:38 Oh, no.
16:39 Everybody writes in and tells me
16:41 that it's not a cooking show
16:43 unless I spill something over the bowl.
16:45 Oh well, let's give her, she chose the bowl,
16:47 let's give her a challenge, here we go...
16:50 Okay. Here we go.
16:51 We're just gonna put all this in,
16:54 and now this can be eaten just like this
16:57 or oops!
17:01 Well, I guess it's like,
17:03 we're doing official cooking show now, it's over the bowl.
17:06 There you go.
17:08 So or you could do,
17:10 the sample one I showed you how,
17:13 if you make this ahead on Friday for Sabbath dinner,
17:15 you can put it in a casserole dish
17:18 and just bake it in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes
17:22 and just until it's hot and bubbly
17:24 because it's already cooked.
17:25 And there you have it.
17:27 Hmm, that looks good.
17:29 Well, here, sis,
17:31 I think you should have a bite of it.
17:34 Here we go.
17:35 All right, I'll give you one right here.
17:37 I'll take my own bite.
17:43 That's good.
17:45 You know we love her.
17:49 We have something else coming up that's good.
17:50 My Reuben Casserole.
17:52 Let me read the recipe for you while she continues to chew
17:55 this delicious dish.
18:37 Now that's not a lot of ingredients
18:39 but I love Reuben sandwiches.
18:41 I do. I do too.
18:43 And so, a lot of times if you just,
18:46 if you've been eating meat, you're used to them,
18:48 and you're saying, oh, I can't have a Reuben sandwich again.
18:51 Well, you know what, you can,
18:53 because there's many vegetarian substitute meats
18:57 there are hard,
18:59 usually you think of corned beef
19:00 in a Reuben Sandwich,
19:02 and there is an incredible product by Worthington,
19:05 that's a corned beef but it doesn't,
19:07 it's not a vegan product,
19:09 I think it has egg whites I think.
19:11 So if that doesn't bother you, you know,
19:13 that's actually that one I use but I also if you want
19:17 a vegan version of it, then there are options.
19:19 I found one in local grocery store
19:22 and so the meat slices like this.
19:24 So you can do that as well.
19:29 In this version of this Sabbath dinner dish
19:32 is a casserole.
19:35 I've made it so that it's the casserole dish
19:36 so that you can enjoy, you know, your Sabbath dinner,
19:41 make it ahead of time and it's a wonderful,
19:45 easy to make ahead of time and easy for Sabbath morning.
19:48 And you know what, it's also full of memories
19:51 because grandma made her own Sauerkraut.
19:55 That's right.
19:57 And, oh I love...
19:58 so we grew up loving Sauerkraut
19:59 'cause grandma made it homemade.
20:01 I think you just...
20:03 I think you even have grandma Sauerkraut crock that she did.
20:06 Actually I gave it to our brother Kenny,
20:08 because Kenny does make Sauerkraut.
20:11 Yes, and it's really good. Yeah.
20:12 So, all right,
20:14 so to get started here's what we're gonna do,
20:15 we're gonna make our sauce first.
20:17 So, Linda, if you would turn this on,
20:19 we're going to put those onions,
20:21 they're already precooked
20:22 because everybody knows right now,
20:24 if you watch any of our cooking programs,
20:26 all three of us really prefer our onions cooked,
20:30 we not only prefer them.
20:31 I don't like raw onions.
20:33 None of us really... And you know what?
20:35 We have to give a big thank you to Jim Petts.
20:39 Yes, our onion man. In fact...
20:41 I took a picture of him as he was helping us this time.
20:44 Let's show this right now, there he is...
20:46 He's got his Micheff Sisters t- shirt on
20:49 and he's sitting there doing all those onions.
20:51 He cut onions for several hours for us.
20:55 On the back of his shirt we have Micheff Sisters,
20:57 he has onion man written on the back of shirt..
21:00 I should've taken a picture of that, I didn't.
21:02 Well, let's take a picture of it and show it to him.
21:04 Next time we will. Yeah.
21:06 And he is just an amazing friend as well.
21:09 He comes over every time we're cooking
21:12 and chops all our onions.
21:14 How many onions we do it
21:15 and he just chops all our onions so.
21:17 Not a lot of people will do that.
21:19 Nope. That's good friends
21:21 Did you want me to get this up into holes?
21:25 Yes ma'am, I do, that would be wonderful.
21:28 I can tare this off.
21:30 Now you know why so many Tiny Tots love cooking
21:32 in the kitchen with Cinda, right?
21:35 That's right. Okay.
21:36 Sis, now you're gonna, we're gonna take this,
21:40 this is our almond milk
21:41 and take this right here
21:43 and we're going to just get all of them,
21:46 I'm going to put all the seasonings
21:47 in the almond milk including our cornstarch
21:51 and which is going to thicken it,
21:53 and the cornstarch, this is cold water,
21:55 cold almond milk,
21:56 so you wouldn't want to add that to hot liquid.
22:00 Cornstarch always add to a cold liquid,
22:02 so if you're using...
22:04 You gonna pick an onion, you did.
22:05 Otherwise you make a slurry
22:07 and add water and then add it to your liquid.
22:09 But, we're just gonna add it to the cold and...
22:11 Ready?
22:12 Then you're ready, I mean, it's all, is that all...
22:16 Get all the softer side here and...
22:19 This is really... Don't burn my onions...
22:21 This is really light rye bread.
22:23 We don't want roasted onions in here...
22:26 No roasted onions? No roasted onions.
22:28 Okay. This is light rye bread.
22:30 Can you use the dark rye bread too?
22:32 You can use any rye bread you want.
22:34 You can use the seeded, I personally don't care
22:36 for the seeds in my rye bread, my husband does.
22:38 He loves them.
22:40 So it's just your preference, if you like the dark rye,
22:43 use the dark rye, they have some really,
22:46 very dark dense European ryes.
22:48 I like the dark rye.
22:50 They call it pepper nickel or something like that.
22:51 But this taste really good.
22:53 This taste really good. Yeah.
22:55 So now would it taste like a Sauerkraut but we'll see.
22:58 So while she is...
22:59 so I have her tearing up, this is just one whole loaf
23:02 of rye bread, that all this is,
23:05 it's one whole loaf of rye bread.
23:06 So she is tearing that into little pieces,
23:08 while she's tearing that.
23:10 I've got my meat slices
23:11 and I'm just gonna cut them up into, you know,
23:14 bite size pieces here,
23:16 and so it's not anything for size.
23:18 I just like to have it just rather than torn
23:21 and then I just turn it and I just like that
23:25 and it's all ready.
23:28 So there you go,
23:29 so now that's ready to go
23:31 and we're going to turn this fire on,
23:36 and I'm going to just...
23:38 If we get out that cooking spray over there,
23:41 and we're just going to spray this pan
23:44 with a little cooking spray.
23:47 And, sis, let me have some of it you've done already
23:50 and we can get this in here going,
23:52 and we're just going to just brown up this bread,
23:56 just a little bit and toss that in here.
24:01 Now you tell me, sis, when that's getting thick.
24:03 Thick, because we want to,
24:05 is that cranked up the size that will go.
24:07 Well, I think so. We put this over here.
24:09 You know, I want, we ought to ask Kenny,
24:11 if he has any batches of Sauerkraut going
24:14 in grandmas crock?
24:16 Because Kenny does make, he does awesome Sauerkrauts.
24:19 He's busy being the Youth Director
24:21 for Michigan Conference, it's summer camp.
24:22 By to Sauerkraut.
24:25 And I also just put a little spray
24:26 on the top of this, just a little bit,
24:30 you know who...
24:31 Cinda got our grandmother's crock
24:34 and then she gave it to Kenny
24:36 and this recently I was up visiting
24:39 our mom and dad and our aunt Myrtle.
24:42 Our Mom's sister
24:44 Aunt Myrtle gave me her, our grandmother's crock.
24:48 So, yes, I'm really excited.
24:51 So you and Kenny can get together and crock away.
24:56 Well, that's one way of putting in.
25:02 But I was really excited about that
25:04 because I do like Sauerkraut too,
25:06 and Linda makes incredible dish,
25:09 I think you actually did it on of our programs
25:12 where you made a mashed potato dish with Sauerkraut...
25:14 Sauerkraut and potatoes.
25:17 Yeah, with potatoes and that was a delicious, in fact,
25:20 when we do Bible stories, our cook Mary Suko,
25:24 she always makes Linda's recipe at least one of the days
25:28 that we're cooking for Bible stories
25:31 'cause it's that well requested.
25:33 I mean people love that dish.
25:34 What is the name of it?
25:36 I don't even know if, I know that.
25:37 Sauerkraut potato dish.
25:40 All right.
25:41 Let me have the pan right here, sis, if you would.
25:44 So this goes together pretty fast
25:46 and I'm gonna spray this over here,
25:48 so don't get worried sisters, it's, yeah...
25:51 And I'm just,
25:53 I just sprayed it with the nonstick cooking spray.
25:56 Could I have our noodles over here?
25:59 Okay.
26:00 All right, I'm just gonna take this one from you then.
26:03 Notice I'm... I'm.
26:06 And we're going to just... Two shot...
26:07 Think I could do a three shot? I've got our meat...
26:09 I think you could do any kind of shot.
26:11 I know I couldn't.
26:13 They don't trust me when we all went to church school
26:16 and at recess everybody, you know, played, you know,
26:19 sports and games,
26:21 and everybody picked Cinda first,
26:23 she's that good at sports, and I was the last one.
26:26 Do we have to have her?
26:28 Nobody wanted me on their team.
26:30 I'll take you on my team, sis.
26:33 I'll protect you if someone tried to tackle you.
26:38 Say don't mess with my sister.
26:39 Okay, so sis, you're going to just add this together.
26:46 How thick does this get?
26:48 We're gonna add, I think that's pretty good right now.
26:50 So while you're mixing this up together, sis,
26:53 you might need want to put your gloves on,
26:55 and give it a good mix.
26:58 And while she's doing that.
27:00 Oops, let's see,
27:02 can I have your thing right over here real quick?
27:05 Okay, so we're just...
27:07 What you're gonna do is just brown these really quick
27:10 and of course you turn that off
27:11 because we don't want them burned,
27:13 but we just want them brown
27:15 and I'm gonna take some of them
27:17 and put in the bottom of this casserole dish,
27:21 and you're gonna half it.
27:22 So half of its gonna go down here like this
27:26 and make a nice, like a layer,
27:30 like if you were having a Rueben sandwich,
27:31 you know, your bread goes down there
27:33 and your bread's gonna go on top.
27:34 So... You don't want this thicker?
27:37 That looks wonderful right there.
27:38 Okay. Wonderful is good.
27:40 Wonderful is good, so now, sis, how's that?
27:43 We got it, we got it.
27:45 Okay, now I'm gonna mix this right on top of here.
27:50 And you're right. I needed that.
27:51 Let's go right in here.
27:54 And now, sis.
27:56 I think when we were little, mom really stressed the fact
27:59 that we need to just scrape out pans, bowls,
28:02 whatever because every little bit counts.
28:05 Well, so many people still ask us they'll say,
28:08 does your mom really watch the program to see
28:11 if we get all the...
28:12 and she'll tell you about it.
28:13 She goes, "hey, I saw that. "
28:16 She doesn't miss, nothing.
28:18 Girls, I don't want you wasting anything.
28:19 No, and she gets it, I tell you.
28:22 She is good at that. We can't waste anything.
28:24 Well, that's because, you know,
28:26 times were hard and she made it,
28:29 she made everything stretch.
28:31 That's right, okay now, this is gonna go,
28:33 speaking of stretching, it's gonna go right here.
28:39 casserole.
28:40 That's a lot at once, just a minute.
28:41 Ooh, ooh.
28:44 Well, it sounds like we have a train going through here.
28:47 All right.
28:50 She don't let me get away of nothing, I'll tell you what,
28:53 there's not a chance in the world
28:55 I'd ever suffer from not being humble that's for sure.
29:01 Yeah, I went to speak at a church
29:02 and someone came out to me, go,
29:04 I just love your cooking program
29:06 because you're always messing up.
29:08 I was like okay. We missed two pieces.
29:10 Don't want to disappoint you, I did mess up more
29:12 in the table this time, so...
29:14 Think I can squirt this from back here.
29:16 Oh, mercy, no.
29:17 Okay, so now you're just gonna drizzle all the way all across
29:21 just that yellow mustard and Linda,
29:24 could you get me a paper towel please?
29:26 I could. I really like that.
29:28 And you can put a little or a lot, it's up to you,
29:31 however you like.
29:32 I love that in there.
29:34 You could draw a flower in it.
29:36 Let's draw a flower.
29:38 Oh, we'll put some leaves.
29:40 Okay that's good.
29:41 Now you're gonna just put the rather breadcrumbs on top
29:45 and you're going to bake this,
29:48 just until it's hot and bubbly.
29:50 So it chills hot, so maybe 30 minutes at 350
29:53 and we have one already ready over there right off
29:56 the oven for you to look at.
29:59 I can't wait to try this.
30:01 Well, our next recipe is gonna come up
30:04 and that's gonna be my Eggplant Roll-Ups.
30:54 Now this is a kind of like eggplant parmesan type thing,
30:59 but it's a whole different looking dish.
31:01 This could be gluten free.
31:05 I am using a little flour in mine
31:07 but you can take the same thing,
31:09 do a gluten free spaghetti sauce
31:12 and you can do.
31:13 Gluten-free flour.
31:15 Yeah, you wouldn't even have to use flour,
31:16 you can just season your strips instead of putting flour on it.
31:20 So it's really easy 'cause we're gonna get started now.
31:24 You can even use oat flour or something like that.
31:25 You can even use oat flour.
31:26 So to get started, first of all
31:28 we're gonna turn our fire on here.
31:31 And then I'm gonna put some water in.
31:34 And we've already got our pre-cooked onions.
31:37 We already got our pre-cooked onions,
31:39 which we used our...
31:42 Pretty sure we can just say
31:43 and we have Micheff sister's onions.
31:48 But we make sure they're really done,
31:50 you know, and we have red pepper, yellow pepper.
31:54 And I want you to notice that you're going to be able
31:57 with this dish to color your plate like a rainbow
32:00 because we're also going to add green,
32:02 and it's gonna be beautiful.
32:03 I wonder if you're gonna get credit in there or not.
32:05 It just isn't a cooking program until Linda says,
32:09 color your plate like a rainbow and then you know,
32:12 you're getting good nutrition.
32:14 There you go. Drum roll.
32:16 I had no doubt, I knew it was coming.
32:17 Now, while this is simmering,
32:20 I want you guys to take off all the skins
32:22 and then cut it into thin strips.
32:25 The skin too. No, yeah, cut the skins off.
32:28 Can you leave the skins on if you like the skin?
32:30 Yes, you can, and I have in some of them.
32:32 Okay, I like the skins. I'm gonna leave my skins on.
32:35 You can do that. But just thin strips and...
32:38 Because, you know why I'm leaving it on?
32:40 Because you need purple in your rainbow.
32:42 That's right. So that's why I am doing now.
32:45 You can. Okay.
32:46 And there's salt in this water.
32:48 So as you cut your strips, put it into the salted water.
32:51 How thin are our strips gonna be?
32:53 Well, look at the ones over there, see.
32:55 Same. Yeah.
32:56 So cut them down...
32:58 Maybe our viewers can't see that one over there, see.
33:00 They might be checking out what we're doing so.
33:02 It's usually about this thin.
33:04 All right, so we're talking thin.
33:05 All right.
33:06 It does go down after you put in the oven.
33:08 So, yeah, do it as thin as you can.
33:10 All right.
33:11 Now in our peppers and stuff, we're going to put...
33:16 Put away zucchini, put away zucchini
33:17 Did you guys missed that? Good.
33:19 We're gonna put some McKay's chicken seasoning in it
33:22 and we're going to put Brewer's yeast flakes.
33:25 I love Brewer's yeast flakes,
33:28 and we're gonna put some garlic in there,
33:30 some minced garlic, and a little Italian seasoning
33:37 and we've got some seasoned salt here.
33:40 Here we go.
33:41 That's a little bit of actually a little bit of garlic powder
33:44 and here's our seasoned salt.
33:46 So, I'm gonna mix that all up and this is gonna simmer it.
33:49 They probably take about five minutes
33:51 or so to simmer this up here.
33:55 It's really. Here we go.
33:59 So we're gonna let that simmer.
34:01 And are you guys, you always, you cut so well.
34:05 Yeah, that's why we're in here.
34:09 Yeah, that is really good. Now this is salted water.
34:13 That's salted water.
34:17 So now... We're gonna eat.
34:19 For me, I'm not to making this gluten free today,
34:21 so I'm gonna use some seasoned salt.
34:25 I'll put this right here some seasoned salt in my flour,
34:29 and I just have a couple cups of flour,
34:31 you can put your favorite seasoning in here.
34:33 It doesn't have to be any particular thing.
34:35 This is more some chicken style seasoning.
34:40 I like McKay's and this here is Brewer's yeast flakes
34:47 and so I'm just gonna mix that all around
34:49 and that's what we're gonna dip our things into,
34:54 our eggplant strips.
34:56 So now I've mixed it all around,
34:59 and now we're gonna spray this pan.
35:01 I'll spray it over here,
35:02 so you guys won't get all covered with it.
35:05 Well, that's really nice of you.
35:07 I appreciated it.
35:09 Okay.
35:13 Okay. I need to get my mandolin now.
35:15 This would be really good with a mandolin.
35:17 Okay, now we're gonna take one of these eggplant strips
35:22 and we're gonna dip it
35:24 and actually I like to wear my gloves with this.
35:28 I think you also put some in your pocket.
35:30 She did.
35:31 So I'm gonna go, actually I'm gonna use them
35:33 while you're cutting now right there.
35:36 Because it doesn't get all over your hands and...
35:39 You want to use those while you're looking at me cut that,
35:41 because you know, I mean, I'm done.
35:46 If you're waiting for Brenda, you're backing up.
35:51 I'm just saying.
35:53 Okay, I'm gonna have to sit on this, it won't...
35:55 Actually, I will let you put this on,
35:59 since you're done and you can dip them
36:00 and put them in here.
36:02 Oh, great, great. I should've known.
36:03 Okay.
36:05 Because my peppers over here are cooking away.
36:09 Okay. And I'll just get this...
36:11 And we'll put another strip out here
36:12 and you do not have to turn them over.
36:14 You only need to have them on one side.
36:17 So you just put them in
36:19 and they'll be on one side like that,
36:20 have them touching 'cause they kind of shrink.
36:23 I'll just hold them down here.
36:26 Does this keep some from turning brown?
36:28 Yes. Yeah.
36:29 So now we're gonna put the spinach in,
36:32 the eight cups of spinach and I'm actually going to tear
36:36 some of this up a little bit but you don't have to,
36:39 you do not have to tear up
36:40 but I like it a little bit pouring up.
36:44 Just little smaller pieces?
36:45 Yeah, just a little smaller pieces.
36:49 And this is gonna cook down, it's gonna be,
36:52 you know, cook way down,
36:54 so eight cups of spinach is not really very much.
36:58 Okay.
37:02 I love eggplant. Here we go.
37:06 You know I really love food.
37:10 It's a good thing, I think most people do.
37:12 Well, you know what, I'm, I think it's really cool that
37:15 when we get to heaven,
37:16 Jesus has a banquet already prepared for us.
37:18 That's right.
37:19 It's gonna be an awesome, wonderful banquet
37:22 and he doesn't have to do that.
37:24 He could say well, you, you know what
37:25 you don't need to eat together
37:27 but there's something very important
37:28 about eating together.
37:30 Even when He walked on this earth, He...
37:31 It's a social event.
37:32 He did, He spend time eating with people.
37:35 So it is very important to spend time eating together.
37:38 There's a special bonding that goes over,
37:41 goes between us when we eat together.
37:43 So see how that's just gone way down?
37:47 You know, that it's in the bible
37:49 that we're supposed to invite people
37:51 into our homes and have them into our homes?
37:54 That's in the Bible.
37:56 I know, all throughout the Bible it talks about
37:58 how much we're supposed to love each other, so you know.
38:01 And I love my sisters. Put most, I love you guys too.
38:04 Put most of this in the bottom, spray the pan
38:08 and then put most of it in there,
38:09 save me just a little bit for the top.
38:13 And I think I had another spatula.
38:15 Yeah, there, you want to give me that spatula there.
38:19 Okay, I'm going to add.
38:20 This is done now, and I'm gonna add
38:22 the vegenaise to this dish right here.
38:26 So to the skillet, so we're just gonna stir up
38:29 all up like that, it's got the vegenaise in it.
38:32 Gives it kind of just a creamy, creamy kind of flavor.
38:36 Now we're gonna take this and we're gonna bake this
38:39 at how much?
38:40 Okay, you're gonna take this, you're gonna bake it at 350
38:43 and it'll take maybe about 15 minutes or so,
38:48 15 to 20 minutes.
38:52 Okay, now I'm gonna show you how we're gonna roll it.
38:55 These are a little bit smaller pieces
38:57 but, and you will let this all cook up like that.
39:01 So I'm gonna put a little bit here.
39:03 Right like this.
39:05 You want to do it right on here.
39:07 Yeah, I can do it right on here.
39:09 I'll put that right there.
39:10 You only need a little bit, and then you're gonna take this
39:13 and roll it up like this
39:15 and just set it in your pan like that.
39:17 That's all you have to do, just roll them up like that.
39:20 We'll do one more. Okay.
39:23 That's really pretty sis. We gonna put this up.
39:26 How's the eggplant taste, sis?
39:27 It's really good. You just roll it up.
39:29 It's very simple.
39:31 You can make it the night before
39:32 and then bake it the next day.
39:34 And you're gonna take a little sauce
39:35 and drizzle on the top.
39:36 And then you just take sauce and drizzle on the top
39:38 and we have some right here and you just,
39:40 you don't have to bake it long.
39:41 Maybe just 10 minutes until it's bubbly
39:44 and it's done and ready to go.
39:46 At 350? No, you at 350 degrees.
39:50 That's really good. I could eat it just like this.
39:53 Oh, sis, our next recipe that we're going to do
39:57 is Zucchini noodles with Kale.
39:59 Let's go.
40:01 Okay for this recipe, you will need:
40:47 I love this recipe because it's very different.
40:51 Instead of noodles we're going to make Zucchini noodles.
40:55 So this is the gluten free recipe.
40:57 So... Awesome.
40:58 Yes, it's very good,
41:00 and the sample I made ahead of time
41:04 and them we baked it in the oven.
41:06 So you can do it that way too or you can eat it right away.
41:08 So either way you can do it. But let's get started.
41:12 Sis, if you want to heat up,
41:14 you're just gonna saute your mushrooms,
41:16 but break your mushrooms into smaller pieces
41:19 because those are kind of big pieces.
41:21 And then the pesto, what's different about
41:24 the pesto is one I used walnuts instead of the usual pine nuts
41:30 and I'm adding baby kale and I love baby kale.
41:35 It's this little tiny tender baby kale leaves
41:38 and I love that.
41:39 So, sis, you're gonna take all of these ingredients
41:42 and put it in your food processor
41:44 and you can, and then you can process that
41:48 and I'm gonna show you,
41:49 this is a Vegetti and this machine and there,
41:56 you can get them everywhere, and if you don't have this,
42:00 they're very inexpensive but you can get it
42:03 any like Walmart, Target, you can get something like this
42:06 or you can get a little hand one.
42:08 You can get a hand one too.
42:11 In fact there's even one that looks like
42:14 a vegetable peeler that will do that.
42:17 But I'm going to first cut.
42:21 I'm gonna cut the top off of my zucchini
42:25 and then cut a little bit of the end off
42:29 and you throw it at Brenda,
42:31 no, just kidding there's waste can down here.
42:35 Now I, this has a suction cup and so I tried to secure,
42:41 press it down on to the cover
42:43 so then you're going to take and put this like this.
42:48 Put up like this and then start twisting.
42:53 Does this go in here?
42:55 Yes. And how long do I blend this?
42:58 You want to process that till smooth
43:01 and you know, I should turn this a little bit.
43:04 Oh there, you can see it. See out the noodles...
43:08 How cool is that? I love it.
43:09 This is zucchini noodles. Isn't that cool?
43:13 I love it.
43:15 And you can break them into smaller pieces
43:18 because they get quite long.
43:21 So you can but isn't that cool? It really is.
43:25 How do they cook though they come from the party.
43:29 Yeah but you can make it
43:30 and so then you just start again.
43:32 You can take this all out
43:34 and you can just have a little zucchini
43:37 if you want or you can just saute this up later.
43:41 Or you can, you know, throw it in the bucket.
43:43 Oh no, that's good zucchini,
43:45 we're not gonna throw that in the bucket.
43:47 That's good.
43:48 Okay, so we're gonna just keep going with our zucchini.
43:51 Oh, yes, scrape the sides a little bit,
43:54 and we're gonna keep going with our zucchini.
43:57 It smells good.
43:59 Ain't this easy though and it just, I love it.
44:03 I've really started using zucchini
44:06 instead of noodles for quite a few things...
44:12 In fact I'm working on another recipe
44:16 for zucchini salad
44:18 and I have a zucchini Thai salad,
44:22 instead of noodles I'm using zucchini noodles.
44:25 It's totally delicious.
44:27 So what's it look like a healthy meal.
44:35 Little bit more maybe scrape the sides again.
44:39 Okay.
44:42 Do you want this?
44:43 And you seriously you can use this again,
44:45 I just chop it up and saute it.
44:47 Okay so then what we're gonna do is...
44:53 That's probably good, sis.
44:55 Okay now what you need to do
44:56 is put that into Brenda's mixture.
45:00 And then see how long these get.
45:02 Look at this. That's cool.
45:04 Isn't that cool? Yeah.
45:06 And we're gonna put that and you can break it
45:09 into pieces if you want.
45:12 You do not want to cook this long.
45:14 I wouldn't cook it more than two minutes.
45:18 And I'm gonna do one more because I actually...
45:21 This cooks way down, so this looks like
45:24 a lot of zucchini here,
45:26 that I've got to prepare for this.
45:29 But it's not, it cooks way down.
45:32 And so you really will need all of this zucchini.
45:38 Okay and that's all there is to it.
45:42 Look at this.
45:43 Wow! That's amazing.
45:45 You just, just and all you do is heat this
45:48 for about two minutes
45:50 and your zucchini is ready to eat right here.
45:54 I actually like to eat it like this.
45:56 But then you did bake, I want to show that baked.
45:58 But you can also bake it
46:00 and it comes out little different in a casserole.
46:03 But it's ready for Sabbath dinner.
46:05 Yeah, so, you can do it either way
46:09 and you got a awesome nutritious meal
46:13 and you got something
46:14 for your gluten free friends too.
46:16 And you learned about a brand new toy for the kitchen.
46:19 That's right.
46:20 And something else for Sabbath dinner
46:21 is your cake.
46:23 Our preacher's cake. Let me read the recipe.
46:26 For this you will need:
47:18 Although our father is a preacher
47:19 that really isn't the reason for the name of this cake.
47:23 The name of preacher's cake,
47:24 it actually is a southern name in a southern tradition.
47:28 When everyone talks about the Bible Belt
47:31 in the south in the United States
47:33 and when preachers would attend to come and visit
47:36 there you know, it wasn't telephones
47:38 were readily available back in old days
47:40 and so they would just show up
47:42 and so people would have a preacher's cake,
47:44 whatever favorite cake was their favorite cake,
47:47 they called it the preacher's cake,
47:49 that they kept aside ready to make really quick
47:51 when the preacher came.
47:52 So nobody could touch the cake until the preacher came.
47:56 That was it, it was preacher's cake.
47:58 Preacher's cake, so you know this is a really fast.
48:00 I think, God had been a preacher back then there...
48:04 Had lots of cake. So, this is really easy.
48:07 We're just going to, actually before I did this,
48:09 you're gonna put the sugar in, sis.
48:12 We're gonna put the canola oil and you're gonna put vanilla.
48:17 Just put that all in there and we're gonna you
48:19 how fast this can go together.
48:20 Applesauce. Applesauce.
48:22 And Cinda, while that's happening can you spray...
48:24 I have a nonstick cooking spray that has flour in the spray,
48:27 that's a baking spray.
48:29 If you could just spray our pans
48:32 and, Linda, can you get our mixture going over here?
48:35 And this is how easy this is going to go together.
48:38 She's gonna blend that together real quick,
48:41 and because there is not a margarine
48:46 or a butter in this thing.
48:48 Really it's just a canola oil as your fat in cake,
48:52 you're just gonna mix that together
48:54 and then I'm going to just add
48:58 my corn starch to the flour over here
49:01 while she's mixing and...
49:04 I wondered if I kept on. Yeah, there you go.
49:07 And then we just here, put this in here,
49:10 and the salt, and the cinnamon, and we put those out here, sis.
49:17 And I'm just going to just mix those together
49:21 and as I do that, I'm gonna add a little bit of the pineapple,
49:28 and a little bit of the flour mixture
49:31 at the same time.
49:33 I mean, alternating so while she is,
49:34 you know, stirring,
49:36 and she does not drain the pineapple.
49:38 No, because we're using a lot of the juice,
49:40 you see I'm putting a little bit of that the juice
49:43 and then we put a little bit of,
49:44 think that turn up right and then...
49:47 I'm not going to grow it everywhere.
49:49 Well, you might.
49:54 Okay, so I'm gonna add a little of the pineapple.
49:59 And while she is over there stirring,
50:01 I'll help you with this. Thank you.
50:03 If you happened to have a mixture
50:05 that's a KitchenAid or a Bosch,
50:07 those are very helpful and to...
50:12 Wow!
50:16 Whoa!
50:19 Put some more pineapple in there.
50:23 Okay, then I put some more of my flour.
50:27 Normally you wait to incorporate all that,
50:30 I'm just racing the clock here
50:32 so I just want to get it all in here.
50:34 We can show that preacher's cake
50:35 can be made fast.
50:37 That's right.
50:38 The preacher's coming, quick bake the cake.
50:41 That's right. So it goes, sis.
50:45 Who is gonna tell the preacher, keep preaching.
50:48 Then you're just gonna add the pecans and the coconut.
50:55 There you go. Mom, I had blender in here.
50:56 While this mixture is getting a work out.
50:58 It is. Let's see, okay now.
51:02 We mean business now.
51:07 Okay and then once that's done,
51:10 you're going to fold in your mandarin oranges
51:14 and then just fold those in like that, sis.
51:18 And then you're going to divide that between your two pans
51:22 and you're gonna bake that at 350 degrees
51:24 for about 40 to 45 minutes.
51:26 Maybe 50 minutes depending on your oven
51:28 and when a toothpick comes out clean,
51:30 it is ready and it looks just like this.
51:33 You can see it, I've got one ready to go
51:35 and that frosting mixture I gave you the recipe,
51:38 its to basically put the ingredients then
51:40 and mix it up with your mixer and it's ready to spread
51:44 and you're just going to spread it
51:47 on the middle of the cake and on the top of the cake
51:50 and then decorate however you want
51:52 with mandarin oranges or pineapple or coconut.
51:56 All those things you have in the cake
51:57 and you can decorate it.
51:59 Have one right here ready for you to look at.
52:01 Right there. Sis, it's beautiful.
52:04 Since we, we don't have a preacher coming today
52:07 and we have two cakes so...
52:10 Right here, right here. I'll cut your piece
52:12 Oh no, I need a piece
52:14 There you go.
52:18 Drum roll. Wow and that is...
52:22 I think I'm gonna need two pieces.
