00:46 I want to spend my life
00:51 Mending broken people.
01:09 Well, welcome to 3ABN Today.
01:11 My name is Curtis and this is Paula, yes, aprons.
01:17 These are new aprons right, Honey?
01:18 New aprons. Yes.
01:20 What's today's program? Well, first of all...
01:21 Today's program is all about giving our kudos.
01:27 Kudos to...
01:28 Tobago. Tobago.
01:30 All right. That's right.
01:31 We went there earlier a few months ago
01:33 and they gave us these aprons,
01:35 had a wonderful time there in Tobago.
01:37 And for two weeks, I think we did the healers,
01:42 this acronym called the Healers,
01:44 H-herbal medicine, E-eating,
01:48 A-adulation, L-liquids, E-exercise,
01:51 R-rest and S for sunlight.
01:53 So each letter was the night
01:54 and I had a wonderful crowd there as well.
01:57 Yes, go on.
01:58 I think that the thing that was so wonderful about it
02:00 was that they have every year ASI.
02:05 ASI comes to Tobago
02:07 and Trinidad and do different programming.
02:09 And so every year
02:11 when they would do the programming,
02:12 they would bring a pastor in, they said,
02:13 this is what they said.
02:15 They call evangelists
02:16 and they would do the evangelism.
02:18 And then Joy,
02:19 which we're going to be feature her in a little bit.
02:21 Then Joy, which is Diamond Andrew's wife,
02:23 she said,
02:25 "Why don't you get some cooks like the Eakins to come in?"
02:26 Yes, yes.
02:28 So we were the first ones to ever be on a program
02:31 that was actually doing cooking and lecture at the same time.
02:34 ASI for all... ASI, you know.
02:36 We got to picture them and Joy and Diamond Andrew.
02:39 Look at that picture right there.
02:42 So, of course, that's Diamond Joy there
02:45 on the right.
02:46 And that's Paula in the middle. And that's me on the left.
02:48 I think they can figure that one up.
02:49 I think so.
02:50 Yes, so, but they brought us in,
02:52 we're very grateful for that.
02:53 I think after that, or two weeks after that,
02:55 I think 3ABN came there to Trinidad and Tobago
02:58 a few weeks after them as well.
03:00 So had a wonderful time.
03:01 And I think we also have a video clip of the crowd too.
03:05 So I think we can run that video clip as well.
03:07 So it was a wonderful occasion there
03:09 and there's a crowd there,
03:11 and they were very gracious of coming there.
03:13 And I mean, every single night.
03:16 They came from Trinidad, of course Tobago,
03:19 and from all over the islands in the area,
03:21 and that looks like you there in the corner, Honey.
03:24 But they were very, we were very well received
03:27 there in Tobago.
03:29 And so the whole week there,
03:31 I think we had that last Sabbath,
03:34 we started back,
03:35 I had a baptism the last Sabbath as well.
03:38 So we're very gracious that they were there
03:40 and they gave us
03:42 a very great accommodations as well.
03:44 So we're very grateful for those there in Tobago.
03:47 Now, I think the thing also was very interesting, Curtis,
03:50 and that is that I've been trying
03:51 to find out my roots.
03:53 I come to find out that my people,
03:56 my peoples are actually from the Blake family,
03:59 are actually from Trinidad, Tobago.
04:01 That's right.
04:02 And so I got a chance to meet them over there.
04:04 You met guy, yeah. That's right.
04:06 Yeah, so that's some...
04:07 Got some connections there. It was just good.
04:09 It was God send set up programs.
04:12 Yes, wonderful, wonderful.
04:13 Now one of the things
04:14 that was so unique there, Curtis,
04:16 was that, you know,
04:17 whenever we go to a different place,
04:18 we always want like Trinidad, Tobago.
04:20 I always want to know ahead of time
04:21 their super foods.
04:23 Now a superfood is what really is a food people grew up under.
04:26 They're used to having it.
04:28 And so while we were in Tobago and Trinidad area,
04:31 I want to know what was their foods
04:32 where they eat,
04:34 and of course, by being there and then eating the foods
04:36 that were there available to us,
04:37 it actually kind of got my brain move in.
04:40 Okay.
04:41 So that I was actually ready to say,
04:42 let's get some recipes developed for Tobago.
04:46 And that's why we're doing Tobago cuisine today.
04:49 And they granted us
04:50 with these wonderful aprons here as well.
04:53 And we were very surprised for that.
04:54 And I think I've learned how to make some cane juice.
04:58 Yes, you did.
04:59 Yeah, I did that
05:00 and bake some bread out of the oven
05:02 and that was interesting too.
05:04 Yes, it was.
05:06 Very interesting, very interesting.
05:07 It was wonderful,
05:08 the people were just absolutely fantastic.
05:10 Very God centered.
05:12 The audience was wonderful and we're just thankful to God
05:14 for the opportunity to be able to go
05:16 to Tobago area.
05:17 That cooking class was a...
05:19 It was jam packed, I mean, standing in the room, all, yes.
05:21 Cooking class. Oh, mercy, mercy.
05:22 So we did one of those cooking class,
05:24 but that was something
05:25 so we're going to dedicate this program
05:27 to those in Tobago and Trinidad, T&T.
05:30 T&T. Trinidad and Tobago, T&T.
05:32 Our very first recipe, believe it or not,
05:34 before we even show the ingredients to it,
05:35 is that while we were there,
05:37 we were learning about the foods,
05:38 the native foods of Tobago.
05:40 And one of them was a thing
05:41 that was actually called Farine,
05:44 which actually is
05:45 and I'm going to talk about that
05:47 as we get ready to look at the very first recipe
05:49 for this one here which is our Farine
05:52 and we're using the recipe that we developed
05:55 while we were there in Tobago.
05:56 You kind of changed the name, got a name to it.
05:58 I'll tell you why. Okay.
05:59 First let's look at that ingredients.
06:01 All right. All right.
06:03 It's called Farine A La Joy.
06:35 Okay, Farine A La Joy.
06:37 Now this is really...
06:39 Where did the joy come in from?
06:40 Well, joy is actually Diamond's wife.
06:44 And they have a recipe
06:46 that they had kind of put together
06:47 and we began tweaking some things up
06:49 and we said,
06:50 what are we going to call this recipe?
06:51 And we say it Farine A La Joy. All right.
06:55 So this is dedicated to her and so we did that.
06:58 And that's one of the manger dishes
07:00 there in Tobago.
07:01 Yeah.
07:03 It's actually called a survival food,
07:04 because the fact that cassava grows
07:06 very readily there in that area.
07:08 And believe it or not,
07:10 the cassava itself is 98% carbohydrate.
07:14 I mean Creator God did something on that.
07:16 Okay, that's a survival food.
07:18 We talked about carbohydrates are important,
07:20 also to every part of the body system.
07:23 This is a beautiful recipe,
07:25 because you see all the gorgeous ingredients.
07:26 Yes, we got be colorful.
07:28 I'm gonna have to go ahead and start chopping up the,
07:29 just chop little bit fine the pepper for me,
07:31 the grated pepper and also the onion for me.
07:32 All right.
07:34 And the thing I liked about this
07:35 was when I was looking at this cassava,
07:38 it's actually a root vegetable, it grows underground,
07:42 it kind of looks almost like the sweet potato.
07:45 And then yet, when you look at the cassava itself,
07:48 once they actually bring it out,
07:51 they wring out the water from it.
07:53 They then they actually put it through a cheesecloth,
07:55 and once they get done with everything
07:56 they sit out in the sun for about three hours...
07:58 Oh, three hours, huh?
07:59 Via you get the cassava itself
08:02 and that's the cassava ground up.
08:04 It looks just almost like,
08:06 it reminds me of something like
08:08 Farina or Grits that we see in the North
08:12 when we get ready to fix stuff, a little bit more grainier,
08:14 but this is so unique
08:16 because basically when you're using the Farine,
08:19 you're usually using it with sugar and milk.
08:22 And on this particular recipe,
08:24 it is totally all vegan
08:25 and is using all veggies, all right.
08:27 So now this can be used like a breakfast dish or...
08:30 It can be a breakfast dish.
08:32 It can be a...
08:33 We're going to do it right now
08:34 in a dish like almost like a rice dish.
08:36 We want to fix it
08:37 because it's going to go with something else
08:38 we're going to do later and...
08:40 Seemed to very versatile.
08:41 Cassava flour they have,
08:43 they make all kinds of cookies and cakes,
08:45 they use it for everything.
08:46 That is amazing to me.
08:48 To be honest with you, I've seen cassava,
08:51 the whole cassava root in America at the stores
08:55 and I've kind of like, okay, okay,
08:58 and until I went to the break it.
08:59 Oh, yeah, yeah, we got... Okay, let's get that.
09:01 But we did find it in Huntsville,
09:03 where we live in Huntsville, Alabama.
09:04 We found it.
09:06 And so anyway,
09:07 this recipe once again is very easy.
09:09 Everything is going to go in.
09:10 I already have the Farine ready to go.
09:12 So what we're going to do,
09:13 I'm going to sit this right here, Curtis, with you
09:14 because we don't know when we can...
09:16 Now we work...
09:17 Now those who are interested,
09:19 where can a person normally find this in the...
09:20 In your oriental stores. All right.
09:22 In some of your health food stores,
09:24 not quite
09:25 in your regular supermarkets right now.
09:27 I've not seen them there. So health food stores.
09:29 Or you might have to get online.
09:31 You said oriental or... Oriental.
09:33 Okay. Okay, Indian.
09:34 Oh, Indian?
09:35 Oh, definitely, you'll find it there as well.
09:37 And so, yeah, it's there. It's available.
09:39 It's got a nutty flavor, it doesn't, it has no fat,
09:43 no cholesterol, no wheat.
09:45 So it's actually good for individuals who are on a,
09:48 have a high glycemic index
09:50 and someone who's actually Celiacs,
09:53 they can actually make this as well.
09:54 Right, right. Okay, no gluten.
09:56 So, so, so what we're going to do
09:59 is we're going to start putting together
10:00 because all we going to do is begin to add...
10:01 Now you purchased this already like this
10:03 as it is or what?
10:04 No.
10:06 What happened was
10:07 when we got ready to leave Tobago,
10:09 they gave it to us.
10:10 Okay, I know if you gonna say that now
10:12 'cause we took it with us so,
10:14 but they didn't say anything, but now...
10:16 They said that was dry.
10:18 They didn't bother. Oh, was dry?
10:19 No, no, no. Well, you put that out there.
10:21 Yeah, we're back home now in the United States.
10:24 So we brought that.
10:25 But normally if a person finds this
10:27 in their location,
10:29 can he find it just like this?
10:30 They'll find just like this. Okay, yes.
10:32 Okay, it's coffering.
10:33 Okay, let's just start dumping in the things there,
10:34 I'm going to put on,
10:36 just go ahead and just put the onions in.
10:37 This is a real easy recipe, the onions are going in.
10:39 Let me give you one each, baby.
10:41 Oh, okay.
10:42 Farine A La Joy. This is one.
10:44 A La Joy named after Joy, okay?
10:47 And I'm going to go head on and put in the celery.
10:51 And you're putting in the red peppers.
10:53 And we want to put in the yellow peppers.
10:57 Look at that. I mean, look how pretty it is.
10:59 All right.
11:00 We're going to put in that one last pepper.
11:02 Get all the goodies.
11:04 All right,
11:05 and we're going to put in a celery.
11:06 Here is celery.
11:08 This is the scallion is going in.
11:09 It's very colorful.
11:11 Very, very colorful. All right.
11:12 And we're going to put in believe it or not,
11:14 it uses nutritional yeast flakes.
11:17 All right.
11:18 And also go ahead and put that in.
11:20 And then we're going to add in our garlic.
11:24 And then we're going to add in...
11:26 Oh, sea salt or what?
11:28 This is a smoked paprika.
11:29 Oh, paprika. Okay.
11:30 Right.
11:32 Okay, and then we're going to put
11:33 the salt in.
11:35 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:36 And we're going to just stir it up.
11:37 We've got some oil and water left.
11:39 We got the oil and the water left.
11:40 And you're going to go ahead
11:41 and put that oil in with the water.
11:43 And I have... Oh.
11:44 This is gonna switch.
11:46 Because you know, water and oil don't mix.
11:48 Ha-ha.
11:49 This was absolutely fantastic
11:52 to really learn about this food.
11:53 I think when we did the cooking class.
11:55 It was on that Sunday...
11:57 Diamond made this.
11:58 Diamond made that and Joy,
12:00 I think Diamond's their niece Michelle.
12:03 Michelle is the one that actually gave us
12:05 got the Farine for us.
12:06 Yes, sure did.
12:08 And so we did that
12:09 and I think the cooking class was actually on YouTube.
12:13 It's on YouTube.
12:14 Yeah, all the program we did is on YouTube.
12:15 The whole ASI week. Yes, the whole week.
12:18 Yeah. Yeah.
12:19 It's all on YouTube. All right.
12:20 So now, it's so simple,
12:22 it's so easy, believe it or not.
12:23 Now, you're going to go ahead slowly add that in,
12:25 like stir that around, Curtis.
12:27 Slowly. Okay.
12:29 Okay. Alrighty.
12:32 Okay.
12:34 You're doing a fine job, Honey. Thank you.
12:35 You're welcome. All right.
12:37 So all we're doing is this.
12:38 I mean, you know,
12:40 this is her recipe, Joy's recipe,
12:42 a little bit of tweaking going on.
12:44 Little bit, just a little bit tweaking.
12:45 Now it's just going to be very interesting with this.
12:47 And I know you're saying, say what?
12:49 Well, we're going to actually put this in a dish.
12:51 And believe it or not,
12:53 the liquid is going to that cassava
12:56 is going to grab a hold of that liquid
12:57 and it's going to firm up.
12:59 And when you see at the end of the program,
13:00 you are, it's gonna blow your mind, okay.
13:02 So we're gonna go ahead and pour it in, just like that.
13:06 So now this will go into the oven?
13:08 No, it does not. Oh, it does not.
13:09 No cooking, no cooking, no cooking.
13:11 So you just let it sit?
13:13 It just sits. For...
13:14 About three hours. Oh, three hours.
13:16 It'll solidify.
13:17 It will solidify
13:19 and at the end they will see the finished product
13:21 of what happens it will grab up all,
13:22 it will grab up all the liquid.
13:24 All right.
13:25 Is that amazing?
13:27 Well, let's serve this.
13:28 Survival food,
13:30 that's what it's called over there.
13:31 Survival food.
13:32 And like I said,
13:34 most of the time it's made up in a breakfast kind of item.
13:35 But we, Joy showed us
13:37 how to make it up in an item that we can use
13:39 and accompany for like a rice as a rice partner
13:42 to our very next recipe.
13:43 So you don't have to turn on the oven?
13:45 No oven.
13:46 No electricity? No electricity.
13:48 Okay. All right.
13:49 Fast, easy to do.
13:50 We'll see it later on, okay. All right.
13:52 All right.
13:53 Now we're going to go to our next one
13:55 because this kind of goes along with this Farine.
13:57 All right?
13:58 And that's going to be our bean dish.
14:00 Oh, okay.
14:01 Let's look at the recipe on this one as well.
14:03 All right, spicy stewed kidney beans.
14:44 Okay, welcome back. This is a good one.
14:46 This is a very good one
14:47 and it goes with that Farine A La Joy.
14:49 A La Joy.
14:51 The seasonings and the colorings of a food
14:54 is just so beautiful there.
14:55 And so this is another combination
14:57 that I kind of worked up.
14:59 Just listening to the spices you see,
15:01 you see I have thyme and smoked paprika,
15:03 and cayenne pepper.
15:04 What's smoked paprika that may not be familiar
15:07 with some people?
15:09 Smoked paprika is in the stores,
15:10 it's just that people might not be used to,
15:11 they're used to regular paprika.
15:15 But this one is smoked.
15:16 The smoked has like a smoked flavor.
15:17 Absolutely. Okay.
15:19 So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead
15:20 and turn on my stove
15:21 so that I can go here and get ready
15:23 because the first part of this
15:24 is actually getting the sauteing going.
15:27 All right. Okay.
15:28 And I'm going to go ahead and throw some oil in.
15:30 So we got the oil over there.
15:32 Got oil in there and get started with olive oil.
15:35 We're getting going here...
15:37 Which one of the recipe we did
15:38 at the cooking class there in Tobago?
15:40 Did we do this?
15:41 No, no, no, we did the Farine.
15:43 I know we did the Farine, we didn't do this one?
15:45 No, I did my garbanzo patties there.
15:47 We did the dessert, we'll tell about it later.
15:49 Oh, yeah, okay. Hold off on the dessert.
15:52 You know, we've to do dessert. Yes, definitely.
15:54 So what we're doing right now
15:55 is I'm just going to go head on and start getting this ready
15:58 because the first part of it is actually adding in
16:02 the bell peppers and the onions.
16:07 This is real good, seasoned bean dish.
16:13 It's got the garlic.
16:15 Get my little spatula there.
16:17 Garlic wants to take his time coming out.
16:20 Okay. Garlic in there.
16:22 Now what you can do for me, Honey,
16:23 is you can go head on and get that,
16:26 the tomatoes will go in here, it's two cups of tomatoes,
16:29 you start cutting up, very dice it up.
16:31 We get these going.
16:34 And it also has in it, that parsley,
16:36 I'm going to put that in a hot second,
16:38 but we're going to saute that
16:39 until it gets kind of translucent in color
16:43 and this is another easy dish.
16:44 If you notice that on the recipe
16:45 I said that we were going to do the dry beans
16:49 which is 16-ounce bag of dry beans, one pound
16:52 and we got the six to eight cups of water,
16:54 we're going to actually take those beans
16:56 and put them in a slow cooker
16:58 and cook them in a slow cooker
17:00 with the six to eight cups of water.
17:02 If you don't have a slow cooker, crock-pot,
17:05 then of course you can always do
17:07 the canned beans.
17:08 If you do the canned red beans
17:09 and what you want to do is make sure
17:11 you rinse the water off of it as well.
17:12 All right.
17:14 So that's what we are doing
17:15 as far as those beans are already ready to cook
17:16 because you know we're on 3ABN
17:18 and we don't have all that time to cook the beans from scratch.
17:20 So they're already ready to go. Okay.
17:22 Now, if you will,
17:23 we're going to go head on and add to this sauteing.
17:27 I'm going to go ahead and add in.
17:31 We have our carrots already grated.
17:33 Carrots are grated.
17:34 We have our celery already ready to go.
17:36 We have our tomatoes ready to go.
17:37 And then, of course, all these are going to be
17:39 our end products as well.
17:40 They use a lot of spices over there too.
17:41 Lots of spices. So this is a spicy recipe.
17:46 That's why it's called spicy.
17:47 Also it has cayenne in it.
17:50 Wants a little kick. A little kick.
17:52 Just a little kick, not too much.
17:53 Just a little. You can omit the...
17:55 You can omit if you like, okay,
17:58 but I say you want
17:59 the authentic Tobago & Trinidad food
18:01 and you might want to put in.
18:02 Yeah, put the cayenne in there. Put a little bit on in there.
18:04 Just go on... I call it a different name.
18:06 Okay, I'm going to go ahead and add the parsley in now.
18:08 All right, and we're going to go ahead
18:10 and put in the celery.
18:13 Just go ahead and use this.
18:15 And you're going to go ahead and give me those carrots.
18:17 These take a little bit longer.
18:19 Okay. All right.
18:20 The carrots are going in.
18:24 Oh, it's gonna smell good.
18:25 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
18:27 Oh, yeah.. So the...
18:28 Now all that's going to go inside the beans?
18:30 All the beans are going to go inside of this.
18:32 Oh, beans are going in there. Okay.
18:35 The spicy as a stew bean
18:38 because it has a lot of vegetables in it.
18:39 And you know, we talk a lot in our program
18:41 about getting in
18:42 those plant-based vegetables in that diet.
18:45 Okay.
18:46 Now, so spices always going to be last?
18:48 The spices will always be last. Okay.
18:50 We put them in last because remember,
18:51 we talked about that
18:53 before on our program Abundant Living,
18:54 that you want to make sure that the spices go in last
18:56 so they can keep that flavor going, all right?
18:58 Oh, yeah, look at that.
18:59 Look at that. Look at that. Look at that.
19:01 I know somebody said to me
19:02 one time he called us up on a phone,
19:04 he said, "I wish I had..."
19:05 Smellivision. Smellivision, smellivision.
19:07 Okay, uh, huh.
19:09 So we're going to go ahead and put in tomatoes.
19:12 Mm-hmm.
19:14 Look how colorful that is that.
19:16 Is that pretty? Yes, it is.
19:18 All right.
19:20 And because of the fact it's going to actually simmer
19:21 for a little bit.
19:23 You can, you don't have to wait
19:25 until everything gets completely done.
19:27 Make sure those onions are translucent in color.
19:30 And now what we're going to do
19:31 is we're going to go head on and I'm have you, Curtis,
19:33 slowly add in the beans for me.
19:36 Okay? Okay, so...
19:39 You might have a spoon out.
19:40 Okay. This is going to be slowly?
19:42 Yes, please.
19:45 Wow.
19:47 I guess you want to get them there,
19:48 I'm just holding it.
19:49 Look at that. Look at that. Look at that.
19:51 Yeah, yeah.
19:52 All right. All right.
19:55 All right. Very, very colorful.
19:57 As we said before,
19:59 the one of the things that it was so beautiful there
20:00 was that all the different spices,
20:02 all the different colorings and using a lot,
20:05 look at those, look at those beans.
20:07 Yes, this is very colorful dish.
20:08 Isn't that pretty? Yes.
20:09 And so with that,
20:11 because of the fact that we have,
20:13 we always tease and say our 3ABN Kitchen
20:16 where everything gets done real quick.
20:17 We're going to go ahead and add our spices now.
20:19 Okay.
20:20 So we're going to throw in the thyme first, thyme.
20:22 Oh, okay.
20:23 Got to sprinkle in. Sprinkle.
20:25 Okay, and then we're going to sprinkle
20:27 on this smoked paprika.
20:28 Okay.
20:30 It's similar to the cayenne, it was color at work.
20:32 Ah, so little bit darker. A little bit darker.
20:34 Than the cayenne... This is the kick...
20:37 The is the one that kicks it. Hold up.
20:38 There's a little bit left in here.
20:40 Let's get that out. Oh, yeah.
20:41 I get all of that. Let me hold it, Baby.
20:44 A little bit extra give you an extra kick.
20:48 And then last one is going to be on salt.
20:50 You can tell the extra kick.
20:52 Extra kick, there's extra kick in the salt.
20:53 There you go. All right.
20:55 Now this is... So now...
20:56 Go ahead.
20:58 This recipe as it sits, it sits for about,
20:59 cooks for about, sorry,
21:00 on low with a lid on top of it for about 30 minutes, okay?
21:05 Depending on what you're using as your equipment,
21:07 you can maybe go 15 but believe it or not,
21:10 the beans are already done, everything else is done.
21:12 And is that pretty or what? Yes.
21:14 It's a gorgeous dish.
21:15 You're pretty, you're gorgeous. Thank you.
21:17 You're welcome.
21:18 All right, we gonna put the lid on.
21:20 Okay, use cover, cap and roll on that.
21:22 All right.
21:23 So that's what 20 minutes you say or so?
21:26 Yes. Anywhere about.
21:28 Okay, let's, let's say 20 minutes,
21:29 let it cook for 20 minutes.
21:30 Okay.
21:32 The one thing we always talk about people
21:33 asks us questions about the beans.
21:34 You know, beans, Paula,
21:36 but beans actually cause a problem with me
21:37 having flatulence, you know,
21:39 so I always say there's certain ways
21:40 you can actually do the beans.
21:42 We have time to talk about that?
21:43 Yeah, go ahead.
21:44 Let's go with the flatulence first.
21:46 What is flatulence? What is flatulence, Honey?
21:48 They know what flatulence is .
21:49 They do? Uh-huh.
21:50 I wouldn't know if everybody knows.
21:52 Okay, they look that up. Okay.
21:53 Okay, just look it up.
21:55 You go flatulence.
21:56 You know, when you eat beans you know what happens and...
21:59 You become musical. Musical, I like that.
22:02 I like that, okay. Musical, yes, I heard that.
22:03 Okay, so with that in mind,
22:05 the way to get rid of that flatulence
22:07 and not have a problem with that is to go head on
22:09 and wash your beans, get rid of all the debris,
22:12 put it into some cold water,
22:14 put it into a plastic container,
22:16 seal it, put it in the freezer and let it freeze
22:19 for at least 24 hours, all right?
22:22 When it does that
22:23 there's a sugar in the beans called a ribose sugar.
22:25 It's a very complicated sugar that Creator God has made.
22:28 And that's what actually causes the issue
22:30 as the food is moving down the mouth
22:32 into the esophagus into the small intestines.
22:34 And when it goes down that way,
22:35 once it gets to the small intestines,
22:37 the large stomach and large intestines.
22:38 That's when you have the flatulence.
22:40 All right.
22:41 But when you freeze the beans first,
22:43 and then bring them out.
22:44 You got your hot water on the stove, four or six,
22:48 four or six ounce of salt, big, big pot.
22:50 All right.
22:51 You got that going on with the hot water in it.
22:53 And you can just take those beans with that ice
22:56 and you're going to slip them into the hot water.
22:59 Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
23:00 So how, do you think I'll be smart as you
23:02 as far as knowing all these things
23:04 about how to cook food?
23:05 I mean, that was just excellent the way you did that.
23:07 It's trial and error at work.
23:09 Okay, but I wasn't finished. Oh, okay.
23:11 I need to stop talking.
23:12 Okay, go ahead and finish it.
23:14 I hope you didn't lose your thought.
23:16 I might have, I might have, I might have.
23:18 Okay, okay.
23:20 Where was I?
23:21 Okay,
23:23 so then you're going to cook them that way.
23:24 All right.
23:25 Now, another way
23:27 to do not worry about flatulence
23:28 is we talked already about
23:29 putting those beans
23:31 in a slow cooker or crock-pot...
23:32 I purchased for you.
23:33 So it cooks for about six to eight hours on high.
23:37 You have a story about a crock-pot.
23:38 You put the crock-pot before you went to work
23:40 and got home and...
23:42 I think that was the bread maker.
23:44 Oh, bread maker,
23:45 'cause you didn't plug it in or something.
23:47 You thought you have food when you came home
23:49 but it wasn't plugged in.
23:51 Was that a different story?
23:52 Oh, that was the crock-pot.
23:54 I know it was the crock-pot, yeah.
23:56 So make sure to plug it in, folks.
23:58 No, no.
23:59 I plugged it in but the electricity went off
24:01 in a neighborhood for about an hour.
24:02 Oh, so it wasn't your fault? No.
24:04 Okay, it was another.
24:05 But I was so hungry that night.
24:06 I mean that was not happy.
24:08 Make sure you plug it in,
24:09 make sure electricity is not going to be turned off.
24:11 Okay, so moving on...
24:12 So that's what 20 minutes or so,
24:13 it's ready to go.
24:15 About 20 minutes, so it's gonna actually cook low
24:16 and it's going to be ready
24:17 because we're going to go to the next recipe.
24:20 Oh, okay.
24:21 Next recipe, of course, you know,
24:23 we got to keep this thing.
24:24 Tobago cuisine.
24:25 We are now going to a mock chicken dish.
24:27 Let's look at the recipe. Mock chicken.
24:29 Okay, let's do it.
25:12 Okay.
25:13 Now I really...
25:15 So you have a good recipe on this one.
25:16 We talk in. Now we talk about spices.
25:17 Okay.
25:19 Lots of spices are in the foods,
25:20 all kinds of spices in the foods
25:21 and so this one is really unique
25:23 because we're not only not doing chicken,
25:26 we're doing a mock chicken.
25:28 So check this out. This is a chicken.
25:31 It's not, it's not a chicken.
25:33 This is... Mock, the word mock.
25:34 Yeah, mock.
25:36 They have a lot of now frozen food.
25:38 Vegetarian, they got chicken, they got beef, they got turkey,
25:42 they got all of it.
25:43 People can find this in their frozen section.
25:45 Frozen food section in your major supermarkets now.
25:48 Right, major grocery stores, yes.
25:49 All right, you have full sections.
25:51 And so this actually came in strips in a bag
25:54 and what I did was, I just cut it up in pieces.
25:56 It comes frozen.
25:57 Now, so it's already seasoned or do you have to do?
25:59 No, no, no, no.
26:00 It actually comes out in nothing but chicken strips.
26:02 Okay. All right.
26:03 So what I did was,
26:04 I added the curry and cumin all those flavors to it
26:08 in the package itself at that board
26:10 and put it into a bowl.
26:11 And that's what making that combination up, okay?
26:14 So I sit it in there
26:15 so they can start getting itself,
26:17 so can marinate
26:18 to get this all get together, all right.
26:20 And so that's really what we're going to be using
26:22 as a mock chicken, all right, in this recipe.
26:25 Now I want you to go ahead and get the onions ready
26:27 because we're getting ready to start this one up.
26:28 And once again, we've already got the fire on.
26:31 So I'm going to go ahead and put my olive oil in my pan.
26:37 And along with that, we're going to go ahead
26:38 and add in the onions to that as well.
26:41 And let me go head on
26:42 and get this kind of started up.
26:46 All right.
26:48 And we're going to put the chicken in last.
26:50 Because it is, it is, it is a mock chicken
26:53 so that means it is already pre-cooked.
26:55 All right.
26:57 So gonna give you those onions when you get ready for that.
26:59 And we'll put the onions in and get that started.
27:01 So, we don't have to worry about this
27:03 not being free range.
27:04 No free range.
27:05 No, no, no. No salmonella.
27:08 No e-coli. No, no.
27:10 None of that. Not in this chicken.
27:11 Not in this chicken. Because it's mocked.
27:13 Okay, here we go. All right.
27:15 Go ahead and put them away. All right.
27:18 All right. Need all of it.
27:19 Here we go.
27:21 Help the brother out.
27:24 Here we go. Okay.
27:25 Okay. All right.
27:27 So we got that going
27:28 and we once again
27:29 want the onions to become translucent.
27:31 And on top of that,
27:33 we are going to be adding in the garlic
27:35 and you're going to go head on for me
27:36 because this is going to be a dressing,
27:38 a liquid is going to go in this particular recipe.
27:41 So you're going to add the cornstarch with no water,
27:44 and then you're going to also add
27:45 the chicken style seasoning to that as well.
27:47 All right.
27:49 Now whisk this?
27:51 You gonna whisk it, whisk it, whisk it.
27:55 All right.
27:57 And you're going to hold on to that for a hot second.
27:59 Ah, look at that.
28:01 All right, I'm going to go ahead
28:02 and add in a garlic.
28:04 Remember we don't put the garlic in
28:05 or keep this down low
28:07 so that the garlic doesn't burn,
28:08 but if garlic burns
28:09 it will mess up the entire recipe.
28:11 Oh, yes, it will.
28:12 We'll start from scratch. Yeah, yeah.
28:14 We got the garlic going. All right.
28:17 Now, and this recipe now
28:18 we're going to go head on and put in,
28:20 believe it or not,
28:21 we're going to go ahead and put in the chicken.
28:23 The chicken.
28:24 So go ahead and get the chicken in,
28:26 it's already got
28:27 all the seasoning in it as well.
28:28 I'll get this out so I can get all that in.
28:32 Mm-hmm.
28:33 This is when it really starts smelling good.
28:35 It starts smelling good. Oh, yeah, I can smell that.
28:38 Smell that, smell that.
28:39 Yes, definitely.
28:41 Yeah, yeah.
28:42 Curry. Curry.
28:44 Okay.
28:45 It was amazing,
28:46 watching and looking at when we went to go eat,
28:49 matter of fact we ate
28:50 while we were there at Diamond's restaurant.
28:52 He has a...
28:54 What is it called, Mr. Dees? Mr. Dees.
28:56 Yeah, I think Mr. Dees at the mall there
28:58 near the harbor.
29:00 Yeah. And very popular.
29:02 I mean people coming in this packed place.
29:05 Amazing, every day we went to get our,
29:07 they bought our food to us or we went to get our food.
29:09 And these are the kinds of foods
29:11 that really blew my mind
29:12 because like the Farine and also the regular beans,
29:14 it's just regular beans,
29:16 not even had all the carrots
29:17 and celery and everything to it,
29:19 which turned into like a stew.
29:20 And then once again the chicken,
29:21 it had the curry, it had cumin
29:23 and it had all those spices in it.
29:24 And their food is very, very seasoned.
29:27 I mean knockdown drag out, they're good.
29:30 Now, now the word knockdown, drag out means good,
29:33 for those who don't know terminology.
29:36 That means delicious.
29:38 Knock down drag out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:40 Okay.
29:41 Now we're going to go ahead and add in our parsley.
29:44 Remember a lot of seasoning goes in.
29:46 Oh, man. Oh, man.
29:47 Let me just go ahead and fan it out.
29:49 God knows if somebody's saying...
29:50 Camera 2, camera 3 and camera 4.
29:54 They are having a hard time, Baby.
29:55 They're having a hard time.
29:57 That's all good. Yeah.
29:58 It was supposed to be like that, you know.
29:59 After the show, we may feed them.
30:01 We may. If they act well.
30:02 They will. They might.
30:04 They're going to be.
30:05 No, it's not confirmed yet. All right. Okay.
30:06 I'm going to go head on and add in now the salt.
30:09 Okay.
30:11 Oh, that smell good and so pretty.
30:13 All right now we're going to go head on
30:15 and start adding in now,
30:16 you actually stir it up a little bit
30:17 'cause it's already settled in the bottom.
30:19 Oh, it's already settled, yeah.
30:20 Add the broth in now before we add into the veggies.
30:25 Okay, I'm going to change my spoon out.
30:27 Okay, I'm ready now.
30:28 All right, you can slowly put that in there for me, Babe.
30:32 Slowly pour it in there. All right.
30:35 This is going to give us the thickening
30:36 that we need to have
30:37 because we've got the cornstarch
30:39 going on as well.
30:40 All right. Oh, boy.
30:41 And it starts to thicken.
30:43 Here, just use this.
30:44 You go ahead and stir it in. Yeah.
30:45 All right.
30:47 So we got that going in. Settled in.
30:48 Yeah.
30:50 Okay, there you go. So it's gonna thicken up.
30:52 Oh, it's going to thicken up.
30:54 Actually I did. Okay.
30:57 It's going to thicken up
30:58 and now we're going to go ahead also and add in...
30:59 What is that? This is tomato paste.
31:01 Oh, tomato paste, okay.
31:02 And we're going to put that in...
31:04 There you go.
31:06 As well.
31:08 And now it's just the vegetables.
31:12 This recipe once again is a recipe that I developed
31:14 and so I'm just trying, I was trying to figure out
31:16 when I see things,
31:17 you know, I try to figure out, okay,
31:19 so how can we make that different?
31:21 Or how can we make that more nutritious
31:22 or what is needed, what is needed?
31:25 And so in this particular recipe
31:27 that we will make that I made up
31:28 for this chicken dish, this chicken dish.
31:30 I said okay,
31:32 instead of trying to cut up
31:33 all those vegetables from scratch,
31:34 this is going on and get some vegetables
31:36 already in steamable vegetables.
31:38 Oh, yeah. So that's what you did.
31:40 So this is the steamable vegetables,
31:42 steam them and they are ready to go.
31:43 That way you don't have to figure out,
31:45 you have to chop it up.
31:46 Now they do a lot of chopping
31:48 in the islands as far as a lot of things
31:49 are made from scratch.
31:51 But, once again in this particular recipe,
31:53 we just going to go head on
31:55 and have the vegetables already ready to go.
31:56 All right?
31:58 So the vegetables are ready now or...
31:59 Especially we got everything else in here,
32:00 let's go ahead and put the vegetables in.
32:02 Okay, all right.
32:03 There we go.
32:04 And this is two cups of mixed vegetables.
32:09 Help the brother out.
32:11 There you go. All right.
32:12 Excellent. All right.
32:14 Now this one here is fantastic as well.
32:18 You can serve just over that Farine
32:20 we did earlier
32:21 which will be very, very colorful
32:22 or you can serve this under a regular brown rice.
32:26 All right? Regular brown rice.
32:29 And you can see it's very, very attractive.
32:31 Right?
32:33 They had, was it roti too, did we have that?
32:36 They had roti.
32:38 Roti was a part of their diet program also,
32:41 but all that, I mean it was just amazing.
32:42 So now that cooks for...
32:44 This is going to cook until the actual cornstarch
32:46 begins to thicken.
32:47 So it'll cook up
32:49 and it'll thicken up on as well.
32:50 And that's because when you finish with it,
32:52 it's going to have a sauce
32:53 to go over top of your brown rice.
32:55 I said Farine
32:56 but I wouldn't put over that
32:57 because you already have all that seasoning going on.
32:59 I would actually do it over noodles
33:00 or I will do it over a brown rice.
33:02 It will serve very, very well that way as well.
33:04 So it's going to get itself together,
33:06 we're going to put a lid on it
33:07 because I know you're ready for the very next recipe.
33:10 We're gonna do some sweet potatoes next.
33:11 Oh, okay.
33:13 Let's look at that ingredients on that one.
33:14 It's Caribbean style sweet potatoes.
33:32 Now this is another one of my favorite.
33:34 Sweet potato!
33:36 But the reason it's different
33:37 is that normally when we do sweet potatoes,
33:41 we do the brown sugar or the Florida crystals,
33:45 we do the margarine, you know,
33:47 and we kind of brown it up and everything
33:50 but this recipe once again,
33:52 I was looking at the foods from Tobago.
33:54 Tobago style. They did lime and I'm like...
33:57 Oh, lime. Yeah, okay.
33:58 Okay, so lime. Got different then.
34:00 A little bit different.
34:01 Now let me tell you about the potatoes.
34:02 Okay.
34:04 Whenever I do my sweet potatoes
34:05 or my white potatoes in a recipe.
34:07 I always take and clean them up with skin still on it,
34:10 put it in a steam basket, put it in water,
34:13 the steam basket
34:14 in the big four-quart saucepan of water
34:18 and then let the potatoes or sweet potatoes get tender.
34:21 And then I take the skin off when they cool down
34:24 and then cut it into circles.
34:25 So if you're going to do your potatoes,
34:27 I like to do that way.
34:28 That way you keep the nutrients in
34:30 and also that you can cut your circles
34:31 and stuff like I did here.
34:33 Okay.
34:34 So that was an easy one to do
34:36 instead of most time people just take the sweet potatoes
34:38 and cut them up into chunks and put it in water.
34:39 Right, they do that.
34:41 This time we're going to be using steam basket
34:42 for that as well.
34:43 The Florida crystal for those who may be watching
34:45 for the first time, let's talk about this.
34:47 Lot of people ask me about that.
34:49 A lot of people don't even know that Florida crystals,
34:51 which is a cane sugar and is already is dried
34:56 and is not processed like regular white sugar.
34:58 All right.
35:00 And it comes in different combinations.
35:01 This is like more of a crystal kind,
35:03 like a little granulars,
35:04 and you can also get even finer than that.
35:07 And so I really like using the Florida crystals
35:09 in the recipe.
35:10 I'm also using, believe it or not,
35:13 a margarine which I did not have there,
35:14 but you have to have the margin
35:15 to be able to melt this one down.
35:17 So you added the margarine.
35:18 We didn't read it, but you add that.
35:19 So make sure you get your margarine on up in there,
35:21 about two tablespoons of margarine
35:22 is what you're going to be using.
35:24 Now when I say margarine,
35:25 you automatically know that on 3ABN
35:27 we don't use the regular margarine
35:29 and stuff like that.
35:30 So they are soy based, almond based,
35:33 coconut based margarines on the market right now
35:35 and so check them out.
35:37 You'll be surprised they act like, look like,
35:39 taste like except the one is coconut,
35:40 it has that coconut flavor going on.
35:42 So if we didn't read that,
35:44 they will add the margarine to this recipe.
35:46 Gonna add the margarine, you want to saute that.
35:47 That's right. Okay, add that in.
35:48 Okay.
35:50 Now we did...
35:51 Did we do this
35:53 in our cooking class there in Tobago?
35:54 No, we didn't do that one either.
35:55 So this is also new to Tobago's area.
35:57 Remember once we got to Tobago,
35:58 and we began eating at Diamond's place.
36:01 Mr. Dees.
36:02 I was kind of watching a lot of stuff
36:03 they were fixing.
36:05 And, you know, everything was so good.
36:06 You're watching, you were taking notes.
36:08 Yes, lots of starchy foods, which filler up foods, in fact,
36:10 a lot of stews,
36:12 and a lot of breadings and stuff
36:13 that was made up over there.
36:14 And so sweet potatoes, I kept saying,
36:16 well, let me see what can we do with that sweet potato.
36:19 And this recipe, believe it or not,
36:21 is a recipe from back in the day
36:23 that I found in one of my old cookbooks.
36:25 Now back in a day means some time ago?
36:27 Some time ago.
36:29 As you know, we first got involved
36:31 in a whole vegetarian line
36:33 was that I was not born and raised in a church
36:36 and so my family as I said before,
36:39 we ate everything
36:40 that was not nailed down to the floor.
36:41 If you can catch it, you ate it.
36:43 That's why I barbecue it, fry it, eat it.
36:45 That's it, okay.
36:46 But as I got involved in a church
36:48 and became a Christian
36:49 and started studying about the lifestyle
36:51 and eating habits.
36:53 It was kind of hard at first trying to change
36:54 from the things I used to eat,
36:56 and then switching over.
36:58 But you know, a lot of prayer,
36:59 I think that the one thing I always remember is that,
37:03 as I was making transitioning to like taking away the meats
37:05 and putting in the vegetarian meats,
37:07 and moving away
37:08 from the vegetarian canned good meats
37:09 now into the frozen foods and stuff,
37:11 and then making things from scratch.
37:13 And you know, I do a lot of stuff in File 13.
37:16 That's the trash can
37:17 in case you're wondering where that was.
37:18 I cried a lot as well.
37:20 But I want you to know that God is awesome.
37:22 When I began to ask the Father
37:24 about how am I going to change this diet
37:27 out like this with my family and stuff?
37:29 And you know what God said?
37:31 I created all of this.
37:32 I created all of this.
37:34 He's the designer of the food.
37:35 Let's go into go into the kitchen.
37:37 And as I began fixing things,
37:39 the spirit just kept talking about stuff
37:40 and developing recipes,
37:42 one after another after another.
37:43 And I'm just amazed.
37:45 People are amazed
37:46 when they come to eat at our house,
37:47 they're like...
37:49 And I'm just really, um, folks, I'm up to my ankles.
37:52 I have to taste tasty foods all the time.
37:57 I mean, I'm just...
37:58 I mean, it's a job.
38:00 I'm going to go ahead and continue doing that.
38:01 But sometimes there are some responsibility,
38:04 but I'm up for the challenge.
38:06 I know one thing,
38:07 especially they comment somebody about
38:08 I have to taste all her stuff when she fixes it.
38:10 And he said, "I'll be glad to do that."
38:12 Yeah, somebody wants to take turn at this.
38:14 I've got this.
38:16 Just keep them coming Baby,
38:17 keep them coming, but it's really...
38:19 So we're going to turn this on and get this one going.
38:20 And sweet potatoes have already been...
38:22 Very seldom when you try something
38:24 that is File 13.
38:26 Very seldom.
38:27 Well, I think too,
38:29 because of the fact that that's my background,
38:31 nutrition.
38:33 Well, that's it.
38:34 No, really, it's more of a gift.
38:36 Really, cooking is a gift.
38:39 It's one of the most awesome gifts,
38:41 according to one inspirational writer
38:44 is a very valuable gift.
38:46 And you have that gift. Praise him.
38:47 I'm glad I'm married to you.
38:49 So I know my bread and water sure.
38:50 It is sure.
38:52 Very sure and very good.
38:54 Let's go ahead. So we're going to give them.
38:55 We're going to go ahead and melt out
38:57 our margarine first.
38:58 All right.
38:59 And like I said, there's a lot of margarines
39:01 on a market now that you can use it
39:02 and also because a lot of the margins
39:04 have been changed up
39:05 because people have problem with high blood pressure
39:07 and they have problem with high cholesterol foods
39:09 and those kind of things.
39:10 So a lot of things have come out for new ones,
39:13 talk about product as well.
39:15 Okay, so we just melt that margarine.
39:17 Oh, yeah. And like I say it depends.
39:20 Now on this particular recipe, like I said,
39:22 you can use a plain, it's called now plant-based,
39:25 plant-based margarines on the market.
39:27 You can use that one.
39:29 They have an almond one.
39:30 They have a soy one, they have a coconut one.
39:32 They're all out there.
39:34 Okay, I'm going to have you go ahead.
39:35 Okay, now, so.
39:36 Let's go ahead and put the lime in there, the lime just in.
39:38 The lime, okay.
39:39 Pour it in slowly for me
39:40 and let me hold up a minute, Baby.
39:42 Let me turn this down just a tad.
39:43 I don't want to be real high. Okay.
39:46 We're going to put that lime in there.
39:47 Whoo. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:49 And then we're going to go ahead and put in the vanilla.
39:53 All of this is going to go with those sweet potatoes.
39:56 Mm-hmm.
39:58 And now you're going to add and do you smell that smell?
40:00 Oh goodness. Oh, yes.
40:01 Oh, yes.
40:02 Now we're going to go slowly add in the sugar.
40:04 This is the Florida crystals. Florida crystals, okay.
40:08 All right. Yep.
40:10 Yep. All right.
40:12 Got the Florida crystals in there as well.
40:15 And the last thing we gonna do is we're going to bring in
40:18 no sweet potatoes.
40:19 Now you have this, what is this, Honey?
40:21 That's going to be on last. Oh, last.
40:23 That's the lime. Okay.
40:24 That's the lime,
40:25 so it's going to be added to it at the end, okay.
40:27 Hold on one minute, let me finish this up.
40:29 Okay.
40:31 You smell that smell? Mm-hmm.
40:34 You're going to stir it up.
40:36 So where in the past, I was using brown sugar.
40:38 And then we stopped using the brown sugar
40:40 and we started using the Florida crystals.
40:42 All right.
40:43 Okay, so we're going to now just take our sweet potatoes
40:46 one at a time, a little bit at a time there.
40:48 We're going to stir them in
40:49 because we have to coat those sweet potatoes.
40:51 Oh, okay. All right.
40:52 Hold on a minute, Baby. All right, go ahead.
40:55 You want to just take a spatula?
40:57 No, I'm good. Okay.
40:59 Go ahead, Baby.
41:00 Just move it down a little bit lower.
41:01 So it won't splatter on our new aprons.
41:03 Yeah.
41:05 There's just only one we have, they didn't gave us two.
41:07 They only gave us one apron.
41:09 One apron each, so.
41:10 And our name on it.
41:11 We garnish with our lime.
41:14 All right.
41:16 We're just going to move those around.
41:18 And we're going to just coat them.
41:20 Yeah.
41:21 Okay, so that's, so that's for the coating then.
41:24 Yeah, just to coat the potatoes.
41:26 We wanna be careful 'cause now the potatoes...
41:27 You call this it's like a different type of candy yams.
41:30 Absolutely. Okay, good.
41:32 This reminds me of that.
41:33 Yeah, 'cause it got the lime in it.
41:36 That will be a different flavor with the lime.
41:38 Absolutely. Absolutely.
41:39 So candy yams with instead of the brown sugar
41:41 and the butter, it's got that lime going on.
41:43 Okay.
41:44 And the soy based margarine type.
41:46 Soy based, almond. Lot more healthier.
41:48 Yes.
41:50 I wouldn't do the coconut on this only
41:51 because it will take over coconut so strong,
41:53 I wouldn't put that that to that one there.
41:55 But they're all on the market now.
41:56 Try them out.
41:58 They have really come a long ways.
41:59 I remember back in the day,
42:01 when we first started doing vegetarian cooking,
42:02 we had a rough time trying to find stuff.
42:05 And you know what... Stuff in the can?
42:07 Yes, everything. And that's high in sodium.
42:08 Everything is going,
42:10 everything is going plant-based now.
42:11 Everything is plant-based
42:12 and everybody's going plant-based,
42:15 people are looking at plant-based cooking.
42:16 Just more mainstream. Oh, yeah.
42:18 We get a lot of phone calls.
42:20 A lot of phone calls on people.
42:22 They've seen a show Abundant Living
42:24 that today's show and they're saying,
42:26 I just want those recipes you know.
42:28 I want those recipes. All right.
42:30 Okay, so that's going to sit there
42:32 for a few minutes and we've already saw,
42:33 we've already actually kind of coated
42:35 the sweet potatoes at the very end.
42:38 We're going to actually put a lime on top of it,
42:40 sprinkle a little bit lime on top of it.
42:42 At what point, I mean...
42:43 At the end of the program,
42:45 we're going to sprinkle little lime on top,
42:46 zest as a garnish.
42:47 And we're going to actually have
42:49 a couple other little things
42:50 you'll see at the end as well.
42:52 So we're going to go to our very last recipe.
42:53 This is our dessert.
42:54 This is our dessert.
42:56 And we're going to go to our mango.
42:57 Oh, yeah. Oh, all right.
42:59 Our mango bread pudding cake.
43:17 One-eighth.
43:18 I'm sorry, 1/8...
43:19 All right, I call it, Baby, that's okay.
43:21 Of Almond extract.
43:22 Okay, so we're down to the dessert time.
43:25 Now I remember.
43:26 Do you remember...
43:28 When we first start doing cooking classes?
43:29 Oh, yes. I know where this is going.
43:30 And we were starting to teach people about how to eat healthy
43:33 and healthy lifestyle.
43:35 At first when I began switching,
43:36 remember now I said,
43:38 I was not born and raised in the church.
43:39 I was not born and raised vegetarian,
43:40 it all came later, later, later, later in my life.
43:43 And so I kept saying now,
43:46 you know, healthy desserts
43:48 are always, they might look okay,
43:49 but they don't taste okay.
43:51 Okay, so...
43:52 Healthy doesn't mean always good.
43:54 That's right.
43:55 Matter of fact,
43:56 what I'm not going to tell that story first.
43:58 Maybe another time. Okay.
43:59 I know where you were going. No, no, no.
44:01 Okay. Okay.
44:02 So what I want to say is that,
44:04 so we were doing cooking classes.
44:07 And people would say things like,
44:08 you know, and no desserts.
44:10 Okay, maybe some fruit but that was it.
44:12 And they kept saying, "Where desserts at?"
44:14 And I said, "Y'all don't need no desserts.
44:16 We're trying to change your lifestyle out
44:18 and eat good food to get that heart working
44:20 and get the blood pressure down
44:21 and a cancer and all that stuff down."
44:23 And together simultaneously all the people says,
44:27 "Yes, we do."
44:30 So I began trying to work with those desserts.
44:33 And they were complicated.
44:35 That was probably the most challenging part
44:38 of cooking healthier.
44:40 Healthy desserts and taste good at the same time.
44:43 And when you start talking about
44:45 and being healthy,
44:46 you had to really make sure that combination
44:48 was very, very important.
44:50 The mouth feel, the texture.
44:52 Yes, because it can look good,
44:55 but you might get some frowns
44:56 and people behind your back
44:57 while you're talking to them
44:59 and everything and you walk away.
45:00 They'll throw your stuff in the trash, that's File 13.
45:02 We could not have that, so I just kept working with.
45:05 Now once again I want to thanks to Creator God and I said,
45:07 "You are the master of the kitchen
45:09 You're the master of food.
45:10 So help me."
45:11 So it was just a transitioning of things
45:13 like instead of white sugar, Florida crystals or honey
45:16 or maple syrup,
45:18 and even some of those honey
45:19 and maple syrup you cannot use
45:21 in some of your baked goods
45:22 because of the transition of the chemistry
45:24 that goes into that.
45:26 Switching over to whole wheat and the whole wheat,
45:28 100% whole wheat.
45:29 We found out that I had, you know,
45:31 there was a whole wheat pastry flour
45:32 out there that has assimilation of white flour.
45:34 It's a summer wheat flour.
45:36 And so we start using a pastry flour
45:38 in some of our recipes
45:39 instead of 100% whole wheat
45:41 because whole wheat's very, very strong.
45:43 And it will cause some issues heavy and weighty.
45:46 We talked about desserts.
45:47 And then we began looking at the flours.
45:50 Well, we said the pastry flour already.
45:52 Is this summer wheat, is it?
45:54 The pastry flour is the summer wheat.
45:55 Oh, that's the same thing.
45:56 They just came out, believe it or not.
45:58 And I'm not sure where that came from.
45:59 But I've been seeing out there on the market
46:00 also even a white flours, or white whole wheat flours.
46:04 I'm not ready for that right now
46:05 because I'm used to being kind of brown.
46:07 But I remember we first started cooking,
46:08 I was fixing things and I was doing,
46:10 I began to move the whole wheat stuff
46:11 and it was not, it was not working out.
46:13 This is a real easy recipe, you are going to love this one.
46:17 When we got over in Tobago,
46:19 I was wanting to make my bread pudding,
46:21 and I was used to using it with peaches.
46:23 Well, the peaches were not really available.
46:24 What they had was mango.
46:26 So I said, well, let's go ahead and try
46:27 to make our mango bread pudding.
46:29 Okay, so this is a quick one.
46:31 This was a dessert we did at the cooking class, right?
46:33 We did this one and we did it with the mangoes instead.
46:35 Yeah, we sure did. All right.
46:36 So go ahead with your juicing.
46:38 This is the orange juice going in.
46:39 Okay, orange juice going in.
46:41 And then
46:42 we're also going to put in that as well.
46:43 We're going to put our mangoes in.
46:45 Go ahead, you want to use that. We put the raisins or mango?
46:46 Raisins can go in.
46:48 Go ahead and put the raisins in.
46:49 We only want to use
46:50 a third of the cup of raisins right now
46:52 because we need them also in the recipe itself.
46:53 We're going to go on and put in the mangoes.
46:56 This is two cups of mangoes that's going in.
46:58 I was going to say, Baby.
47:00 Yes, because this oven, I mean, this apron,
47:03 we only have one of these apron.
47:05 So that's why I backed off a little bit.
47:06 I know.
47:08 Can't get nothing on aprons, Baby.
47:09 Okay, now so...
47:10 Just a bit, eighth of the almond extract.
47:13 Now you don't need much of this.
47:14 Honey, why are you standing back?
47:15 All you have to do is kind of comp on it,
47:17 Baby, and...
47:18 No, I want to make sure that I don't get the extract
47:19 on my apron.
47:21 Yeah.
47:22 Okay, now, that was not a joke.
47:24 No, this is my apron, it has Curtis on.
47:26 So I'm just checking that, you can.
47:29 Okay, you're about to lose it.
47:31 You're about to lose it, Baby.
47:32 If you put down a little bit lower
47:33 into the container,
47:35 you won't have to worry about it.
47:36 Like down here? Like there.
47:38 And pour it in like this.
47:39 Yes, that's it.
47:41 Okay.
47:43 Okay, you're about to lose it again.
47:45 Come on, let's not have a cut on this.
47:47 Keep it rolling, just keep it rolling
47:48 because, all right.
47:50 So now the bananas.
47:54 Now what I'm gonna do for bananas
47:55 that we've already washed the bananas off,
47:56 we got them ready.
47:58 So we're going to put in the first two bananas,
47:59 it's actually going to go into this,
48:00 so we just gonna break them up and move into the sauce itself.
48:04 Okay. Okay.
48:06 All right.
48:07 Nothing you can do that, Baby, the same way.
48:09 Just break it up a little bit.
48:10 Just break it up.
48:11 Put it right in there all the way down.
48:13 No, Honey, put, go down into the thing, down.
48:16 Okay, then you don't have to worry
48:17 about messing with your apron, okay.
48:19 You're good.
48:22 You forgot to put the lid on and going on to start it up.
48:27 We can tell when the show is about to get over.
48:29 Okay, so.
48:41 You want it just kind of smooth or...
48:42 Yeah, just spin a couple more minutes.
48:43 Okay.
49:02 Okay. A little problem back here.
49:04 Okay, so... I'm good.
49:06 What about the texture, Honey?
49:08 That's good. Okay, okay.
49:09 Okay. Did you put on high, Babe?
49:12 Oh, I can put on super high.
49:13 No, no, I can do, turn to Truman.
49:16 Hold up. Let me put on.
49:18 Liquid, liquid.
49:19 I wanna liquefy it.
49:20 Let's see.
49:29 Turn to Truman.
49:31 Okay, he will do that.
49:32 Okay, now, so...
49:33 All right. Now, this is very, very easy.
49:35 I'm going to take
49:37 a little bit of sauce right now.
49:38 Okay, I can hold it, Baby.
49:39 No, no, I need to do it some for this dish.
49:41 We've already greased our eight by eight square pan.
49:44 We're going to just put a little bit of juice,
49:46 a little bit of it in the bottom.
49:49 So that when the bread goes in,
49:53 when a bread goes in,
49:54 they already have its bottom layer on it.
49:56 This is a real easy, simple recipe.
49:59 I'm going to go ahead and put, use my hands.
50:01 We're going to go ahead and put it in.
50:02 Okay, so should we going to layer it then?
50:05 Yes, we're doing a layer.
50:06 Okay. Okay.
50:08 We're going to cover the whole bottom.
50:10 All right.

50:32 This is the second layer.
50:33 So all we're doing is just putting the banana
50:35 in the first layer.
50:37 Somebody asked me about this.
50:38 He said, "Paula, can I make this recipe up
50:39 and not use the bananas?"
50:41 I said, "Well, because bananas is a major key player in this.
50:43 It won't be the same."
50:44 Your recipe will be very rough.
50:46 And remember, I always say, "If you try a recipe,
50:47 it's not what we have said.
50:48 Don't say my name."
50:50 Change the recipe. Don't say my name.
50:51 Change the name. Change the name.
