00:12 I want to spend my life
00:18 Removing pain
00:23 Lord, let my words
00:29 Heal a heart that hurts
00:34 I want to spend my life
00:40 Mending broken people
00:45 I want to spend my life
00:51 Mending broken people.
01:06 Welcome to our 3ABN cooking program.
01:10 We are the Micheff Sisters.
01:13 I'm Linda. I'm Brenda.
01:14 And I'm Cinda.
01:16 And we are so glad that you joined us today,
01:18 aren't we, sisters?
01:20 We are. Because we are having a pizza...
01:23 Pizza party. Pizza extravaganza.
01:26 Yeah. It's gonna be an extravagant party.
01:30 It's sure is and we have a...
01:32 And who doesn't like pizza I mean...
01:35 Honestly whenever you think pizza...
01:36 A party, you think pizza, oh, let's have pizza.
01:38 Yeah, pizza. That's right.
01:40 So why not a pizza extravaganza, you know?
01:43 We're really just gonna go all out.
01:45 All right.
01:46 And we want to give you different ideas
01:48 for different kinds of pizza,
01:50 not the traditional people think pizza...
01:51 Some creative things. They think cheese, right?
01:53 Most people think you have to have
01:55 a whole lot of cheese all smothered all over it
01:57 and you really don't.
01:58 We've got some good options for you.
02:01 Let's show them right now what we have...
02:02 Well... Okay...
02:04 That's a good idea.
02:05 We're going to start off with Sloppy Joe Pizza.
02:08 Ohh... That looks good.
02:10 I love how you decorated it, sis.
02:12 And then, we have a corn bread tostada pizza...
02:15 Oh, that looks good too.
02:16 And that's home-made corn bread on the bottom.
02:18 Uh-huh. No eggs.
02:20 And then, we're going to have a little dessert.
02:22 That's right.
02:23 An apple streusel pizza...
02:25 Oh, that sounds good.
02:27 I've already sampled that, that's good.
02:28 And that, we're gonna top it off
02:30 with Tex-Mex Pizza.
02:32 Oh, that's right.
02:33 And then last but not least,
02:36 it's a Mediterranean Mini Pizza.
02:39 See, I can't even pronounce it.
02:41 So that's probably right,
02:42 but it's Mediterranean Mini Pizza.
02:43 Mediterranean Mini Pizza. Yeah.
02:45 Oh, mini pizzas are good
02:46 because I love individual pizzas.
02:48 Oh, yeah. And these are...
02:49 If there are many, I can have a whole lot.
02:51 Well... Let's bite size it.
02:55 Well, it's a little bit bigger than the bit size.
02:56 Let's put up the recipe for the first pizza,
02:59 and Cinda, could you read that for us?
03:01 Okay.
03:02 For the Sloppy Joe Pizza, you will need:
03:35 And then for the Ranch Dressing you will need:
03:47 Sounds good, sis.
03:49 So now, we'll get started.
03:51 You want to turn that on and will that...
03:53 I love fresh Dill,
03:55 and I have that growing in my patio.
03:57 Already pre-cooked the onions.
04:00 So we'll just let 'em keep on cooking.
04:04 There we go.
04:05 We're gonna put the celery in.
04:07 They're savoring too much, I say.
04:09 And I put the celery in and a little bit of the water.
04:15 And you dice your celery really fine.
04:17 Yes, so that they'll cook pretty fast.
04:22 There we go.
04:24 Do you know this brings back lots of good memories always...
04:29 Because...
04:31 The Sloppy Joes, mom's Sloppy Joes, yes.
04:33 Yes, mom always liked to make Sloppy Joe's for us,
04:36 and it was one of those one dish meals that,
04:39 you know...
04:40 I liked it when it was the bread baking day,
04:42 and she'd make homemade dinner rolls,
04:45 you know, like pan little buns.
04:47 I'm putting in the tomato paste.
04:50 And then, she would have that
04:51 Sloppy Joes over her homemade buns...
04:53 Oh, sure. Not bad.
04:55 They're good. Yeah.
04:57 Then, we're gonna go all around with that
05:01 and then, we're going to put
05:02 a little Bragg's Liquid Aminos in there...
05:05 We're not showing giving you a recipe today
05:07 for the crust for traditional pizza crust
05:12 like the one we're using today
05:14 because we already have a lot of pizza crust recipes
05:17 that we've demonstrated on the air before.
05:19 In fact, you go to one of our cookbooks,
05:21 and there's a whole section on pizzas
05:23 and quite a few different pizza crust
05:25 in our cookbooks as well, but today, a special thank you
05:28 to Papa John's Pizza
05:30 who donated pizza crust for us to use on the air today.
05:33 Isn't that awesome?
05:34 So... The Papa John's in Marion...
05:36 Papa John's in Marion Illinois. That's right.
05:38 So thank you so much.
05:40 We've got a little bit of sweetener
05:41 we're putting in there.
05:42 And we've got some beef style...
05:45 McKay's beef-style seasoning and little bit of sea salt
05:49 and that's your seasoning and this here,
05:52 we have some here some...
05:53 Fruit sweeten ketchup.
05:56 Or I think this one is actually tomato sauce.
06:00 And so, we kind of made it a little our own
06:02 with tomato paste in the...
06:06 So when do you add your burger?
06:07 Okay, we're getting ready to add the burger
06:09 and then, we're going to let it simmer,
06:11 and I didn't put quite all the water in it
06:13 just because I'd already done the onions
06:15 and that soaks up a lot of the water,
06:17 so we will do it as we need it
06:19 and now, we're going to put this in.
06:21 And I did want to tell you,
06:22 if you want to do your own crust,
06:25 I even make pizza from bread dough.
06:29 So you can take some of your bread dough,
06:30 let it raise and then, very gently, take it
06:36 and don't knead it down or anything,
06:39 spray your pan and then gently work it
06:42 to the edges until it fits your pan
06:45 and then, I just pick it with a fork
06:48 and actually made this...
06:50 We made a lot of pizzas.
06:52 We made like 30, 40 pizzas on like huge big trays
06:55 at campus at Camp Au Sable...
06:57 In Michigan. When I go up every year...
06:59 Our brother is the youth director in Michigan...
07:01 And that's why I go up and train
07:03 the bakers every year and...
07:04 Our brother Ken.
07:05 It's incredible people that I get to work with,
07:09 and we make pizza crust
07:10 and then, they have 'em all ready,
07:12 so we make 'em the day before
07:14 and so then, the next day, we just...
07:18 The next day, we just put the toppings on
07:21 and everything, they pop in the oven
07:22 and they're all done.
07:24 And you can pre-bake 'em and freeze 'em
07:26 because we do that too.
07:27 So you can just... you just have to pick 'em
07:29 really good with fork and here they are.
07:32 They kind of do look like this.
07:34 We did this with the dough,
07:35 so you can kind of see how this looks...
07:37 Looks like it's already pre-cooked.
07:39 Yeah, this is precooked.
07:40 This one is precooked, and you can tell in the back
07:43 how it's just nice and the Golden
07:45 and see it doesn't fall apart.
07:48 And you can keep 'em in the freezer
07:50 and pull 'em out when you need 'em.
07:51 So you can just make a whole batch of homemade ones
07:53 and then, you can always pull it out
07:55 and it makes a really easy pizza,
07:58 and I just pop it back in the oven for a little bit
08:00 or some of them I don't so...
08:03 But you could pop that back in the oven.
08:04 Yeah, you can pop this back. I think if you...
08:07 Could you go ask Mellisa if she would get us the...
08:10 I have some Sloppy Joe that was in the...
08:13 Mellisa is right there offset.
08:15 So she has already heard it and she running to get it.
08:18 She's amazing.
08:20 She doesn't like to come on camera...
08:21 I just wanted to say if you don't make bread
08:24 and some people say, "You know, I do not have time for bread."
08:26 And we understand that.
08:28 Everybody is busy
08:29 and there are at no guilt about that.
08:31 You can get bread dough at most grocery stores
08:33 will offer bread dough in the bakery section
08:35 that you can purchase
08:36 and most pizza places if you say,
08:38 I just want to purchase your bread dough,
08:40 I mean, your pizza dough, they'll let you purchase that.
08:42 So don't feel like you have to be,
08:44 you know, feeling guilty
08:46 because like you don't have time to bake bread
08:49 and that's okay, you know, if we don't...
08:51 This is what the Sloppy Joe looks like
08:53 when it's all finished,
08:55 and we're not going to put it together
08:56 because we already have one.
08:58 All you need to do is a couple different things.
09:01 You want to spread that on? No.
09:03 Then, all we need to do is like my husband,
09:07 he likes Vegenaise on his Sloppy Joe's,
09:10 so I will probably put this all with Vegenaise
09:12 and then put that on top and then, he'll drizzle
09:15 that little bit of ranch dressing
09:17 that we had the recipe, just mix all that together
09:20 and just drizzle it over the top.
09:22 He likes that.
09:23 So I actually haven't tried necessarily the drizzle on top,
09:28 but he likes that dressing.
09:30 So he likes anything with Vegenaise on it
09:32 and we have one right here already finished.
09:34 And I like how you drizzle that Vegenaise...
09:36 That's really pretty, sis. Yeah, that was Cinda.
09:39 She brought me special little...
09:42 I don't know what you call it...
09:44 It's like a cake...
09:45 Yes, but it's in a tube like kind of like...
09:48 Yeah, I have a... Like I had to buy it.
09:50 I have a lot of those decorating tips and tip bags
09:54 and that's what she's trying to tell you.
09:56 So our next recipe, Brenda,
09:58 you have something special for us.
09:59 Well, I sure do.
10:01 It is our tostada corn bread pizza.
10:03 Let me read the recipe for you.
10:05 For this, you will need:
10:50 Instead of the traditional pizza crust
10:52 that you think of which is more like bread dough,
10:54 I wanted to do something a little creative,
10:57 so I made a cornbread crust pizza,
11:01 and yep, it's just like,
11:02 you know, the kind of cornbread...
11:04 I love that... And I really just...
11:06 It's slightly different, yep, I have one
11:07 that's already prepared that we're going to decorate
11:09 and yeah, it won't fall out so you bet.
11:11 It's just baked cornbread in there, and I loved it.
11:15 I really liked it as you...
11:17 Obviously I'm not gonna pick this up...
11:18 I love cornbread... I love cornbread so...
11:19 You're gonna eat it with the fork, you know, so...
11:23 And so a little bit, at the close of the program,
11:27 we have some special friends,
11:28 they're going to stop by for tasting, so stay tune.
11:31 You're going to be excited. Yes.
11:32 You know them. Yes, you do.
11:34 So we're not gonna tell you,
11:36 you're gonna have to try through the whole program,
11:38 but we have some very special guest gonna join us.
11:40 So to get started, we're gonna mix up our cornbread
11:44 and get that baking and while that's happening,
11:47 sis, if you would shred some lettuce for us
11:50 and then dice a tomato, and I'm wondering
11:53 if that knife is sharp enough to cut your tomato...
11:58 Trust me, I'll get the job done.
11:59 I trust you.
12:00 I think if anybody get the job done, she can.
12:03 So Linda, if you get the job done,
12:06 you're going to put all of our
12:08 dry ingredients right in this bowl.
12:10 All right. Just...
12:12 Flour and a corn meal. Yep.
12:16 This is our sweetener.
12:17 And I'm going to put our oil and right here and there's...
12:20 Is this and...
12:22 I want to tell them to lay all your on lettuce
12:25 on top of each other.
12:27 And then, you're going to roll it up
12:29 because you're going to chiffonade it, okay?
12:30 So you're going to roll it. Let's take a minute.
12:32 I am not sure how to do that, so that you...
12:35 Just roll it up like that real tight
12:38 and then, you're just gonna chiffonade it.
12:40 And when you slide your knife through it,
12:42 it just goes through so easy.
12:47 And then, it just shreds very nicely...
12:50 And that's going to be gorgeous.
12:52 That's how you dry...
12:54 Now, thank you, sis, now, would you spray this pan
12:56 with a nonstick cooking spray?
12:59 And I'm just gonna mix this all up together
13:02 and just combine all the dry ingredients,
13:04 so they are well combined,
13:06 and I'm just using a rubber spatula.
13:09 This recipe, you do not need to tease the mixture,
13:15 hand mix it all.
13:16 It's just...
13:18 You just need to have an energetic arm.
13:19 You know, just to do like that. And she has one.
13:22 I do it, right over here. I have one, so, sis...
13:26 I was pretty sure that was gonna happen.
13:28 We're gonna just make a well in the centre,
13:30 and you're going to just mix that up so nicely
13:33 and just mix it until it's smooth.
13:34 And it won't take long at all.
13:38 And let's just watch or see how a great job
13:40 she's doing over there.
13:41 I'm...you know, let's just give her a little hand here,
13:43 you're doing a great job.
13:46 I think... Give her the encouragement...
13:47 You're the only one clapping here.
13:50 Well, yeah, because I got both...
13:52 you know, I've got both my sisters here busy.
13:55 It's a good day.
13:58 Okay, is that good enough or?
14:00 No, give it some good, you know, yeah,
14:03 elbow grease in there, yeah, you know, oh, nice...
14:07 It's already on high speed. All right.
14:08 She wants to see you work. That's' good.
14:11 Now, sis, just put it right here in this pan.
14:12 Oh, you want me to do this.
14:14 Yeah, I like being the supervisor.
14:18 I think it works out pretty good for me
14:20 and then, you can just put that in the pan
14:23 and this is also the same recipe.
14:26 If you put it into an 8 x 8 inch square baking dish
14:31 and baked it at 250 for about 20, 25 minutes,
14:35 wonderful cornbread
14:37 or until two thick comes out, good.
14:40 So you can use that for that as well...
14:42 I definitely would make this, this is scrumptious.
14:45 And look at that, see, she just evened it all out
14:48 and that's gonna bake it 350 degrees
14:51 for about 15 minutes,
14:53 you know, until toothpick comes out clean.
14:55 It doesn't take long because it's not very deep.
14:57 So that's not going to take long,
14:59 so now if you give that to Mellisa over there.
15:01 I'll put this away for you
15:03 and then, she's going to put that in the oven
15:05 that's already hot and ready to go...
15:07 In the prep kitchen.
15:08 In the prep kitchen, and so now, we're going
15:10 to just have fun decorating this one.
15:13 First, we're going to put some refried beans on it,
15:16 and Linda is going to do
15:17 such a great with job with refried beans
15:20 and Cinda, you're going to be adding your expertise here
15:23 with the sour cream.
15:24 Do you go to the edge or leave a little bit?
15:26 You leave a little bit,
15:27 just like you would for a crust,
15:29 for a regular pizza, leave a little bit on the edge
15:31 and go all the way around
15:33 and put those refried beans, make a nice big layer.
15:35 I love refried beans.
15:36 Would you want to tell them about the cream?
15:38 That's a good idea.
15:39 See, I don't know what I would ever do without them.
15:42 This is very special sour cream by WayFare foods,
15:48 and you can find them on wayfarefoods.com
15:51 and let me just turn this for you
15:52 so you can see right there
15:54 and it's W-A-Y-F-A-R-E wayfarefoods.com.
15:58 You can find 'em,
16:00 and it's a dairy-free sour cream.
16:01 We have used other brands on this program before,
16:04 this tops them all.
16:06 I mean, sometimes, you get a little bit of an aftertaste
16:09 with some of the other brands.
16:11 This product is no aftertaste.
16:14 And when you go on and just read about
16:16 the nutrition in each of these products
16:18 and how they made 'em, and so many of them
16:20 are oat based, not the soy
16:22 which a lot of people have trouble with.
16:24 So you're going to be amazed at this...
16:27 The products they have, their whipped better,
16:29 I think, is just amazing...
16:31 Lot of products.
16:32 They do, they have pudding,
16:34 and I have not had the privilege
16:35 of tasting their ice cream,
16:36 but I have friends that have and including our brother,
16:41 and he said that ice cream
16:43 is the best vegan ice cream he has ever had.
16:47 Wow. So, yeah.
16:48 And I really want to taste it.
16:49 I have not, but they have pudding,
16:51 they have a carrot pudding,
16:52 they have butterscotch puddings.
16:54 They have you know all kinds of products, it's just amazing.
16:57 Even a French onion dip, can you imagine?
16:59 And they're cheese sauce, jalapeno cheese sauce,
17:01 plain cheese sauce, you want it all.
17:03 Okay. Now, go ahead and put that...
17:04 No, no. Just go... I'm gonna...
17:06 My recipe. Go ahead and put that...
17:08 I'm gonna help you.
17:09 Okay, here's how you do it, you take...
17:12 I was really looking forward to this.
17:14 Now, how do I do...
17:16 Do you want this just to be end to?
17:17 We're having so much fun. I was gonna help here.
17:21 Do I do that? I did it. In her defense...
17:24 I did ask her to help me, didn't I?
17:26 Here, I'll do it for her. There you go.
17:29 Hello, would you like... this is what...
17:32 How you spread it.
17:33 Would you like to spread it?
17:34 Oh, dear, let's feed Brenda's some onions.
17:38 No.
17:41 I actually did that at a camp with someone else.
17:44 We got in the same dress, and I was there,
17:47 I was the hands and it was really funny.
17:51 Okay, we're going to do this really fast here
17:54 because I want to show you how easy this is.
17:56 Linda's got the sour cream there...
17:59 Linda's trying to tell you though that she did that
18:01 and it was hilarious.
18:04 Okay, so now, let us...
18:06 Here we go, look at this, then you just...
18:09 come on, guys, just put it all on there.
18:11 You can just... oh, she put it on air...
18:16 Okay, that's good, that's good...
18:18 But it's working. Okay, okay.
18:20 I have one already prepared, let's take a look at that one.
18:23 So...
18:25 Creative.
18:26 And here it is all ready to go,
18:28 all you need is a knife and fork right here.
18:31 Take a look.
18:32 All right.
18:34 Oh, did you want me to take...
18:36 You know, this one's all for me.
18:38 Well, you know you can take a bite if you'd like.
18:41 Here you go, sis.
18:43 Oh, wow, I get to taste it.
18:46 You're going to get tomato right on there,
18:48 oh, don't forget your olives, we got to have olives.
18:50 Wait, wait. She didn't get the jalapeno.
18:51 Oh, I love jalapeno.
18:53 I love that. So don't you worry about that.
19:01 Very good.
19:03 You know, what else is hmm, hmm, good.
19:05 And that's easy to make.
19:06 And that's her apple streusel pizza,
19:09 it's amazing.
19:11 You want me to read that recipe for you?
19:12 I would love it if you read that recipe for me.
19:14 All right. For her filling, you will need:
19:31 And for the streusel topping, you'll need:
19:51 Now, for the glaze, you'll need:
20:05 And I got to say when you just said that...
20:07 Almond extract, there's something about
20:09 the smell of almond extract that just smells so good.
20:13 I love it, I love it.
20:14 And what was the name of those cookies mom
20:15 used to make with almond extract in it,
20:17 I absolutely loved.
20:19 There was a certain cookie she made when we were little,
20:21 and she always had the almond extract on lot of it.
20:24 Maybe, it was almond cookies.
20:28 Well... Well, that's a good guess.
20:31 That's a good guess. I can't remember the name.
20:34 There's a name for it, and I'm thinking about it.
20:37 Mom...
20:38 Whenever I do a frosting or glaze instead of the vanilla
20:42 I will almost always do the almond extract
20:46 just because I love the flavor.
20:48 It's so good. Yes.
20:50 So another thing that's so good is this apple pizza.
20:55 Yes, it is.
20:57 I actually did this for my husband
20:59 who loves apple pie,
21:02 actually loves pretty much any pie.
21:04 Yes.
21:06 He gets a pie every week at her house.
21:07 He buys her flowers,
21:09 and she bakes him a pie every time...
21:11 Every Friday. Every Friday.
21:12 So I decided when I thought, "You know what?
21:15 I'm going to make an apple pizza,
21:17 something different."
21:20 So I took...
21:21 I usually do this for my apple pie filling
21:25 because I try and do the pies as healthy as I can
21:29 and this is a no-sugar apple pie and so...
21:33 Natural sugar, right? With...
21:34 Yes, right because this is 100% unsweetened
21:40 concentrated apple juice and it's frozen.
21:45 And so, sis...
21:47 It's frozen, but it has thawed out.
21:49 You buy it frozen, that is...
21:50 Oh, yeah, it was frozen.
21:52 Yeah, clearly, this isn't frozen.
21:55 Somebody is looking at that goes,
21:56 "Why don't they look frozen to me?"
21:58 So we're going to put that in while it's cold.
22:03 You're going your...
22:05 The cornstarch, the three tablespoons of cornstarch
22:09 and then, I'm going to add some cinnamon
22:12 and whisk that together really good.
22:15 Otherwise, you're going to have lumps
22:17 and you're gonna want all this in here
22:20 because the apples get liquidy,
22:25 and I'm going to quick...
22:28 What am I doing over here?
22:29 Okay, let me just tell you...
22:30 while I'm going to slice of the apples
22:33 and sis, if you will stretch our pizza dough onto our pan.
22:38 I'll do it.
22:39 So you spray your pan first, and she's going do that,
22:43 and I'm going to slice apples and what we're gonna do is...
22:48 I might put the gloves on.
22:50 I like to cook the apples just a little bit
22:53 because our pizza doesn't bake that long
22:56 and so you want to go ahead and cook your apples.
23:01 So it'll look like, we're going to put
23:03 a whole huge big bowl of apples in this pan,
23:07 but in reality, it's not, it's not that much
23:12 because one: Apples cook way down
23:16 and you want a lot of apples.
23:19 I did this for my...
23:21 Because I did it for my husband,
23:25 he doesn't want just a few sparse apples on his pizza.
23:30 He wants it covered.
23:32 And so, I do a very thick layer of the apples,
23:37 and you'll see that, so...
23:41 and I'd also like to do a variety as you can see.
23:45 There's no rhyme to reason to how I'm cutting them.
23:48 It's...
23:50 I just cut 'em in fairly thin slices like this
23:56 and I think I can put that
24:01 in this bowl while you're waiting.
24:03 You do not want to add your...
24:05 When starts to thicken, sis, call us because...
24:10 Tell us so that we can get...
24:14 Tammy can get a jib shot to show the liquid
24:19 actually getting thick
24:20 'cause it gets sick pretty fast...
24:22 And our dough just came out of refrigerator,
24:24 so it's really stiff and hard to do just...
24:27 So you know, you probably want to set it out
24:29 and get at room temperature starting to rise above that...
24:32 Well, you know, the dough actually goes better.
24:35 It stretches better if you sing while you're doing it.
24:38 Oh, really? Yes.
24:42 O Solemiya. You got to just...
24:45 Here you go. O Solemiya.
24:50 I'm going to make Brenda a hat.
24:53 So if you kind of do like that, it does better okay.
24:57 Oh, my goodness.
25:00 I don't know. I don't think I can do that.
25:03 Well, you're not singing either.
25:05 I thought you do it so well, you can sing for me.
25:07 I can spend, she can sing, you know.
25:11 No, to do really do it right,
25:16 you have to be in singing.
25:19 Also, I have this little gizmo, I love.
25:23 It's a little mini rolling pin and this works too.
25:28 You can go like that and that actually is nice too,
25:31 so you can do that if you don't want to sing and spend.
25:34 And it's really nice if it's a little bit warmer dough.
25:37 Yes.
25:40 And I wanted to tell you that
25:42 I like to use a variety of apples.
25:46 So...and I do that in my pie.
25:49 I'll put probably
25:51 four or five different kinds of apples in my pie,
25:54 and you can use your favorite apples,
25:58 and I know that
26:00 in different areas, different...
26:02 you can get different types of apples
26:05 that are available in your area
26:08 that maybe not be available in some of the other ones but...
26:12 There's so many of wide variety of apples
26:14 that are sold delicious.
26:16 I just recently came across one called sweet tango.
26:20 I think it's now my new favorite.
26:22 It's hard and juicy and sweet apple.
26:27 I think it's so good,
26:29 and I've always loved Cortland and honey crisp and...
26:32 I love Braeburn too...
26:34 And grandma always like to make apple pie
26:36 with golden delicious apples...
26:39 I usually put a couple of delicious...
26:41 I actually like the sweeter apple.
26:43 I usually add a couple of those, but...
26:46 Would you know what...
26:47 She was pretty bright about that
26:50 because she didn't have to add as much sugar she said,
26:52 you know, if we use a sweeter apple so...
26:55 Oh, that's true. Yeah.
26:56 But my husband likes things on the tart side.
27:00 So even when I...
27:01 He has cherry trees and so when he pick
27:04 and they are sour cherries and so, yeah.
27:07 And he... I still make...
27:09 I don't add a lot of sugar.
27:11 He likes his pies tart. Yes, he do.
27:13 His rhubarb pie, I make, I make...
27:16 I gotta say, I do like the rhubarb pie tart myself,
27:19 but I think that's good.
27:20 I did learn a lesson with his cherries.
27:24 I don't let him pit the cherries in the house.
27:27 Oh.
27:28 I still, if you come to see me,
27:30 I still have cherry juice on my ceiling just splattered
27:36 because he'd sit there and just pit and they are...
27:39 you know.
27:40 How was that?
27:47 I'm not getting, I still have cherry juice
27:51 speckles on my ceiling.
27:52 I'm like, "Oh, my goodness!"
27:55 But they're good cherries.
27:59 He loves to have...
28:03 He's got all kinds of fruit trees.
28:05 He likes to garden and everything too.
28:06 Yes.
28:08 You know, who has a lot of fruit tress is mom and dad.
28:10 Oh, my, yes.
28:11 And mom is always canning...
28:14 Peaches...
28:15 Peaches and pears
28:18 and she said that cherries didn't do too good this year,
28:22 but she got apple trees.
28:24 You tell me to ring. Oh, okay.
28:27 What's it look like now?
28:29 It should start getting thick.
28:32 Yes, it's starting to get thick.
28:34 So keep stirring
28:36 because you don't want to get lumps in it.
28:37 I'm going to tell you, I think I'm going to be
28:39 holding up the show
28:40 because this thing is not getting...
28:41 it still is cold as...
28:43 I'm telling you, you got to sing.
28:44 It's all in the song. Okay, it's really thick now.
28:49 That's awesome. Keep going.
28:51 You see, it didn't take long. It's really thick.
28:55 How thick are you gonna...
28:56 It's gonna start getting a little clear.
29:00 Well, that's getting a lot thick.
29:01 How about I stirring? You can do this.
29:04 Okay.
29:07 I'll trade, yes. Good deal.
29:09 I'm gonna switch job, you know what I mean?
29:10 And I would be happy to stir.
29:13 You can go do that for a while, let's see you...
29:14 Okay. Hammer that out.
29:16 Okay.
29:19 That dough was cold as ice,
29:21 just about froze my fingers off.
29:25 Oh, oh, wouldn't do that much flying.
29:29 Probably been here short time.
29:31 Hey, she means business though,
29:32 She is not gonna let that dough talk back at her at all.
29:34 Okay, sis, look at that she's going at it.
29:37 Oh, go for it.
29:38 Wow, good job,
29:42 yeah, that's okay you can use your spatula.
29:45 We're gonna take all these apples,
29:47 and we're gonna put them here.
29:49 And now, it looks like that's not going to cover,
29:53 but it will, all those apples.
29:55 Because it cooks way down
30:01 and you think that
30:03 you'd need a lot more glaze but you don't...
30:04 And that's all the thickening you need too...
30:06 That's all the thickening,
30:08 you don't need any more thickener,
30:09 and you don't need sweetener.
30:11 Because also we're gonna make a streusel topping
30:15 which is gonna...
30:17 Give some sweetness. Give plenty of sweetness.
30:19 Right.
30:21 So you won't have to worry about that.
30:22 You won't be complaining about it and I think it's sour.
30:25 And I also make a glaze to add to the top too.
30:30 So let's add these and then, I'll give you one more apple.
30:34 Okay.
30:36 And... so...
30:40 That was a good deal, sis,
30:41 because my hand was getting tired.
30:46 I felt that I wanted to do that, yeah.
30:50 You got a little hump in the in the middle
30:51 their over there.
30:53 Yep, if put it.
30:54 I don't think I would be that critical over there, Messy.
31:00 Oh, I think the hump looks beautiful over there...
31:06 You know what?
31:08 I had... when you criticize, you get the job...
31:11 Oh, I think that she's doing a fine job, fine job...
31:13 You know...
31:15 I mean, let's just keep her doing that
31:17 she is doing so amazing...
31:18 You know how I... Do that, sis.
31:20 When people come to my house, I put everybody to work.
31:23 Yes, you do.
31:24 Well, I had a pastor come to my house
31:27 and I asked them
31:29 to get something out of the freezer for...
31:31 I mean, refrigerator for me and they said,
31:33 "Your refrigerator is really dirty.
31:36 You need to..." They said messy.
31:39 I mean, not dirty, they said messy.
31:40 "You need to clean this out and organize it,"
31:43 and I said, "Good, have at it."
31:47 And they did. And they did.
31:50 Don't mind if I do it...
31:52 I said, "Sounds like a good job for you."
31:55 I've organized your refrigerator every time.
31:57 It's just that she has so much food,
31:59 and she cooks so much that it's just packed.
32:03 And I love to go and look in her refrigerator.
32:05 Okay, so you're going to cook this,
32:09 keep your heat up.
32:11 You're going to keep cooking this,
32:13 and I'm going to make the streusel.
32:16 I'll use this bowl.
32:17 Now, for the streusel, I'm going to add oats,
32:21 this is quick oats.
32:23 And let's move... Move this out of here.
32:25 Yep. There, I'll give you that too.
32:27 And some cinnamon
32:31 and we'll mix all that up
32:34 and then, you want to make sure you have softened margarine.
32:41 Now, I actually made this with the coconut...
32:45 of 100% pure coconut oil,
32:47 and I didn't have any with me today,
32:50 but it is really delicious with that.
32:52 So you can do it with the coconut oil...
32:56 That's right.
32:57 I just forgot to bring it with me.
32:59 We have the WayFare margarine today and it is really...
33:01 it's great to not just eating bread and butter
33:04 but also just to bake with this well.
33:08 Well, I'm actually going to use gloves and you can use...
33:12 I dropped mine, so I think. You want me to turn this?
33:14 No, I got one out of your pocket...
33:16 You missed out on anything.
33:17 Okay.
33:19 Mellisa keeps her pockets full of gloves.
33:21 So what you're going to do with the margarine?
33:24 I'm going to give you this, sis.
33:26 To show them, yes. Okay.
33:28 Linda go ahead and start adding that
33:29 on there real quick.
33:31 You want this on here?
33:32 Yep, put this on here real quick.
33:33 I actually had some cooked ahead of time just in case.
33:40 And I'll do this streusel like this,
33:44 and you want to make sure that you get
33:46 all the dry ingredients incorporated into this
33:50 and then, we'll sprinkle the streusel on top,
33:54 and you're going to bake this in a 400-degree oven
33:58 for about 20 minutes
33:59 and it doesn't usually take longer than that.
34:03 That's why we cook the apples down.
34:06 And then... So the apples are done. Right.
34:09 And then, we'll make a glaze and put the glaze on top,
34:13 and when you're doing this streusel make sure you...
34:16 I'm gonna work this a while, yeah,
34:17 because you wanna get all of this in.
34:20 And then you just add sprinkler on there.
34:22 Yes, and you sprinkle on that and bake it
34:24 and let me show you, I have one already made up.
34:26 How long, how much temperature do you bake it at?
34:27 400 and 20 minutes.
34:29 Okay, there and then she mixed her icing on
34:32 and just drizzled it on there, isn't that beautiful?
34:36 Well, our next recipe is Linda's Tex-Mex Pizza.
34:40 You wanna read the recipe, sis?
34:41 All right. For that, you will need:
35:04 Wow! Ooh!
35:06 That sounds good.
35:07 This is one of those with not lot of ingredients
35:08 and it's just...
35:10 It's not and it's one of those ones
35:11 that you can make the day before,
35:12 here it is, pre-baked pizza crust.
35:15 And I didn't... it's not as dark on the bottom
35:17 you'll see
35:18 because I'm gonna pop it back in the oven.
35:20 Just for the other one I didn't, but this one I will.
35:23 Okay.
35:24 So I'm gonna get my gloves on here.
35:27 Okay.
35:28 And sometimes I just make it right from scratch too.
35:31 And you can use any refried beans that you want.
35:33 Your favorite beans, you can even take can beans
35:36 and blend them into blender, put your own seasonings in it.
35:40 So it's any kind of your refried beans that you like.
35:43 You can purchase, you know, cans of refried beans or...
35:45 Yeah, you can purchase the already made
35:47 refried beans or you can make your own.
35:49 Now mom, our mom she makes them from scratch.
35:52 Yes.
35:53 You know, she cooks her beans up
35:55 and then she does all the processing,
35:56 but cheese... and they're good.
35:58 Mom makes everything from scratch.
36:00 But we don't always have time like she does.
36:03 Which is why I love the dehydrated beans.
36:06 I think they are the best refried beans, I love them,
36:09 I miss it all the times.
36:10 And I said we don't always have time like mom does,
36:12 mom is very busy, she does run the Kids Club.
36:15 She runs the Kids Club Bible lessons.
36:17 She runs the Bible lessons.
36:18 Yeah, yeah, so she's very busy.
36:20 Do you know and she just canned
36:23 150 some quarts of tomatoes for each one of us.
36:28 Yes. Yes. So she's...
36:29 and I'm like... Thank you, mom.
36:31 She was thinking about doing some more so...
36:34 She's a worker.
36:35 Thank you, mom, we love you.
36:36 All right, so I'm going to spread this sauce all around.
36:39 Now you can put your beans on first, I just...
36:42 I like it the way this salsa
36:44 will kind of soak in the crust.
36:46 Okay.
36:47 So that's why I put mine first,
36:49 but you don't have to...
36:50 And any kind of salsa, just your favorite.
36:52 Your favorite. I can't go wrong with that.
36:55 Yeah, you just put your favorite kind of salsa,
36:57 you can make homemade like my brother Ken does and...
37:03 Well, my son-in-law. Your son-in-law.
37:05 He makes good salsa. Jim.
37:08 Jim Hundertmark.
37:09 He makes amazing salsa, which my grandson says...
37:13 They love it.
37:14 After they have his salsa, they say, you know, that's...
37:16 there's no other salsa that's good as poppy's
37:19 so, you know, so...
37:20 Okay, we're gonna put some of the beans down here
37:23 and we're gonna just
37:24 spread those around a little bit.
37:25 I'm gonna put this over here so they can see
37:28 what you're doing.
37:30 Okay.
37:31 And so we're just gonna go right out to the edge of this,
37:35 the salsa.
37:37 I like to leave a little bit of crust on so that,
37:39 you know, with the pizza.
37:40 Yeah, I do too. And I love crust.
37:43 Yeah, I do too.
37:45 One of my favorite type, you know.
37:47 Yeah, it's funny 'cause like the girls on my dorm,
37:51 I have toast for them, you know,
37:53 where they can come in and make toast
37:54 if they're hungry or something.
37:56 And they will not most of them will not eat the crust.
38:01 They don't want anything to do with it.
38:03 Whenever I'm with my grandsons and they're having a pizza,
38:08 I don't eat cheese so I don't...
38:11 I'll just sit there and eat with them
38:13 but then they save me with their crusts
38:14 and I eat their crusts and they eat
38:16 the rest of the pizza with all the cheese
38:17 and everything on it.
38:18 And not long ago, I said something to one of the boys
38:23 about that, that grandma helped him out
38:25 eating their crust for them and they said,
38:26 "Well, grandma actually, we love crusts,
38:29 we just love you more and so we know
38:31 that's all you can eat, so we give you our crusts."
38:34 I did not know that.
38:36 I thought being most kids don't like crusts so...
38:39 So you're helping put them out.
38:40 So it's like, now I feel really loved.
38:42 They are the two most tenderhearted boys.
38:46 They are. They seriously...
38:48 Michael and Jason. They are.
38:50 They came to visit nana and poppa,
38:52 and I was over there 'cause I lived not far from them.
38:54 And they came in
38:56 and the first thing he said when he came in was,
39:00 "Nana, do you need me to vacuum
39:03 or something for you."
39:04 And he just went got the vacuum and he started vacuuming
39:08 and then he started cleaning up in the living room
39:11 and mom is going, wow.
39:15 That's like that, he's quite the kid.
39:17 They really are the most confident boys.
39:19 They do that to me almost everyday.
39:20 Yeah. When they come to see me.
39:21 They vacuum your house?
39:23 No, they'll ask me, what I need done.
39:24 Yeah. Yeah.
39:26 What can we do to help you? Yes.
39:27 That's their first question when they run in
39:30 and they give me a big hug and they go,
39:32 "Hey Aunty Cinda" and then they go,
39:34 "Is there anything you need us to help you with?"
39:37 Yeah.
39:38 And they do, doesn't matter what I need.
39:40 They help me.
39:41 Okay, now I'm putting the burger on it
39:44 and topping it with that.
39:45 Now how did you prepare the burger?
39:47 'Cause it looks like you have some stuff going on there.
39:50 I cooked the onions ahead of time
39:53 and then added the burger
39:55 and usually I add a little bit of red pepper flakes,
39:58 but this time I decided
39:59 I'm just gonna put them right on top.
40:01 So we just spread this burger...
40:02 And did you saut? the burger a little bit with the onions?
40:06 Yes, with the onions.
40:07 And they can use their favorite vegan burger.
40:09 Any favorite vegan burger.
40:10 Do you want any of these red pepper flakes on there?
40:12 Yes, just sprinkle them all over the top.
40:17 And that's then okay, then we're going to...
40:20 oh, and one thing I did forget to put on
40:23 is I usually put the sour cream stuff on the bottom.
40:26 So we'll just save it and put it on the top
40:29 when it's all done.
40:31 But 'cause you can make it...
40:32 I'm gonna bake this and then that does help make it...
40:35 I like it baked in there.
40:37 And you can use any vegan cheese
40:38 that there's their favorite to use.
40:40 Yes, and so we're just gonna sprinkle that around like that,
40:43 and then we're gonna bake it at 350 degrees
40:46 just until it's hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted
40:48 and I have one right over here for you to see.
40:51 Like that's ready.
40:52 Ooh, that looks delicious, I can't wait to try it.
40:55 And it's ready for tasting and don't forget
40:57 we have special guest coming up soon.
40:59 That's right.
41:00 So you gotta stay tuned,
41:02 we're not telling you who it is.
41:03 And what else we have coming up right now
41:04 is Mediterranean Mini Pizzas.
41:37 And really this is such a great recipe
41:40 that just do ahead of time,
41:41 even you can make those hummus up and those...
41:43 just as this hummus recipe is good for a dip anytime,
41:46 so you'd wanna even double the recipe sometimes and...
41:48 I love hummus. Have it there.
41:49 Yeah, 'cause you can slather on your pizza
41:52 as much as you want.
41:53 So just to get started,
41:54 Cinda's got the food processor over here.
41:57 In there she's gonna put the juice of one lemon,
41:59 she's gonna put all the rest of the ingredients in,
42:02 and I have a little ingredient that I'm gonna put in here
42:05 that I did not put in the recipe,
42:08 so this is if you are be I...
42:10 and the reason is because it's no very Mediterranean,
42:13 okay, but it's jalapeno peppers.
42:15 And I love the jalapeno in the hummus
42:18 that I'm gonna use them for demo,
42:20 but I didn't put in the recipe
42:22 because it's not traditional but it's up to you.
42:24 I love them, I use them myself.
42:26 So, Cinda, if you just put those in there.
42:29 Linda, would you get this pan going?
42:31 I will.
42:32 Crank up the heat as high as it would go.
42:34 And she is just gonna spray it
42:35 with the non-stick cooking spray
42:37 and we're gonna add all of this fresh spinach,
42:41 just like that.
42:42 And it's gonna... you'll be surprised
42:44 how fast this will wilt right down.
42:46 And... I think I lost one over here.
42:51 And then...
42:53 Drawing stuff around over there, sis?
42:54 This we're gonna fold this in at the end so that's good.
42:57 Let me take this for you and over here.
43:03 And so Cinda's...
43:04 you're doing a good fine job on that squeezing job there,
43:07 they're great.
43:09 You know, just get the pits out or whatever those seeds.
43:12 The pits.
43:14 The seeds. The seeds, okay.
43:17 See, it just didn't turn to my mind, you know,
43:19 I am a grandmother, so you know, I'm gonna...
43:22 that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
43:24 And Cinda's not so...
43:26 Yeah, I'm the young one.
43:28 Uh-huh, yeah.
43:29 Oh, never mind, I think I can make the sink.
43:31 Oh-oh.
43:33 Oh, not really.
43:34 I'll try it again, I'll try it again,
43:36 that was close.
43:38 Uh, no, no.
43:40 This time it's getting up in the plant.
43:41 I think three... I'm growing a lemon.
43:44 Three strikes and you're out. Yeah, it was close.
43:45 Yeah, two strikes and you're out.
43:47 Oh, I got one more try?
43:49 Why don't you just get our hummus made,
43:50 okay, over there.
43:52 And then I have our sun-dried tomatoes
43:54 and you can do one or two things,
43:56 I like mine dried like this
43:58 but if you like them a bit soften,
44:01 just take a skillet
44:02 and put just like a tablespoon of water in it
44:05 and heat these up and let them simmer
44:08 for just like a minute or so that's all you'll need.
44:10 And then they'll be soften.
44:12 But I kind of like the texture of this myself,
44:15 so it's up to you whether you wanna soften them
44:17 or have them just like that dried.
44:19 I've already slivered the red onion
44:22 and sauted it so it's ready to go.
44:24 And this is...
44:26 it looks dark because it's a red onion
44:28 and we're going to put that on our
44:30 hummus pizza in a minute.
44:32 And then these are just some kalamata olives
44:35 and we're just gonna slice those in two.
44:48 And, sis, you might need the...
44:50 I definitely do. There you go.
45:07 Okay.
45:10 Now she's gonna fold those in there.
45:15 And we'll put them...
45:17 a little bit more yeah, just a little finer.
45:21 And I have...
45:23 How are we coming over here? We each gonna decorate our own.
45:26 How are we coming over here?
45:28 We're doing good.
45:30 Just a little bit more.
45:33 Okay, I think by the time we get started here,
45:36 they'll be ready to go.
45:37 Do it little bit more,
45:38 won't even have a spinach in the pan.
45:42 Let's take a look and see how this is really,
45:44 see how that goes, came down to almost nothing.
45:47 That looks delicious.
45:48 I think that's perfect.
45:50 So just turn it off.
45:51 Sis, you're done with that.
45:53 And if you could just put these olives,
45:56 put it in this bowl here.
45:58 All right.
46:02 And that's it.
46:05 Now what's this other pan for?
46:08 Yeah, if we can just mingle that perfect.
46:12 I'm gonna show you in a minute.
46:14 Well, the other pan is,
46:17 if I was going to saut? those
46:19 sun-dried tomatoes that's what I would've used.
46:21 Oh, okay. But you're not...
46:23 Or the other thing you can do is, you can...
46:25 Do your pita bread?
46:27 You can do your pita breads and heat them up what you can.
46:29 Trying to add this. Oh, yes.
46:31 Would you do that for me, please?
46:32 All right, I do. You want me to do that or not?
46:34 You know, we don't need to because you can or you can't.
46:37 Sometimes it's nice to heat them up in the pan
46:39 and then bring them out and then do it,
46:41 you don't have to at all.
46:43 So what we're going to do is, Cinda's mixing up that
46:46 and then just put a little plop of that
46:49 on every one of these.
46:50 And then you guys, we're gonna make our own, okay.
46:53 Cinda has got, oh, she give me a plop, all right so.
46:57 I got to watch how I would at things.
47:00 Hey, I was just following directions, okay.
47:03 Yeah, and I like to leave a little edge on it,
47:07 so like a pizza crust edge.
47:09 And did you get enough over there?
47:11 I have plenty. You have plenty, okay.
47:13 She should, I don't know she sort of changed me
47:16 a little on the plop, you know, so I don't know.
47:18 Oh, boy, okay. Well, I'm doing good now.
47:20 I think this is really a fine job, sis.
47:25 So now you're just going to take and whatever it is.
47:28 Linda, if you would just put a little bit of spinach
47:31 on every one of them over here and just...
47:36 That's okay. One here for Cinda.
47:37 Just divided between three.
47:39 We'll just do that for right now.
47:42 That's good. That's good.
47:43 Okay.
47:45 And then I'll take a little bit more too.
47:47 I love spinach.
47:48 I love cooked spinach,
47:50 but you see how that cooked down.
47:51 And then you can...
47:53 You want more?
47:54 I'm just gonna take some of these onion
47:56 that's been cooked and sauted and put it over here like this.
47:59 And you want some of this? I want to take olives.
48:03 I'm gonna take a few olives.
48:05 Yep, that's good.
48:07 Save some for Linda there.
48:08 Very good, sis.
48:10 And some olives for you. Thank you.
48:11 I'll take one in the middle.
48:13 And then just a few of these...
48:18 These are sun-dried tomatoes, they're not peppers.
48:20 They're sun-dried tomatoes.
48:22 And let's put our pizzas out there, sisters,
48:27 and she's almost got that covered.
48:30 Put it out there. Yes.
48:31 She's got to be kidding me. What?
48:33 Oh,
48:37 she is having the whole pizza, I didn't say I was,
48:40 it was individual pizzas.
48:42 You did.
48:43 I just claimed this one.
48:45 Well, put yours out there, sis.
