Absolutely. 01:15 Absolutely. All cooking today. 01:16 All cooking because, you know, 01:18 when we really kind of talk about foods, 01:21 people are so concerned about the fact that they 01:25 don't have the right combinations of foods 01:28 or maybe they have foods 01:30 that have too much fat in them, you know, 01:31 they are trying to cut back, but every time you think 01:33 about cutting back on things, or no sugars, 01:37 or no salt, or no fat, people will say no way. 01:40 And also they say no taste. They say no taste. 01:44 We put in some taste in these foods. 01:45 Right, so on the show, what we wanna do is we're gonna 01:48 actually take some of the super foods 01:50 that people actually like and we are going 01:53 to turn it into a healthier food. 01:56 Okay. Okay. 01:57 To loose those powers, and shoot those fat cells. 01:59 Yeah. And this is just a beginning. 02:01 The beginning of the whole series. 02:02 Of talking about Abundant Living. 02:04 And will stay with us... On Weight Management, okay. 02:05 All right. Now, a very first thing we're gonna do 02:07 Curtis is we gonna make a Taco salad bowl. 02:12 Now you say we, I'm gonna be... 02:14 You are gonna be involved with this, 02:15 and then on top of that we are going 02:17 to fill it up with all the goodies. 02:20 Okay. And maybe, maybe... 02:22 Just maybe. Maybe, maybe 02:25 between that time and the time show ends, 02:27 you will get the opportunity to sample it. 02:29 We'll just see? Okay, 02:31 well I have to do my job, okay. 02:32 Let's go to the recipe. Well, let's do that. 02:35 Tortilla salad bowl it calls for: 03:03 All right, that sounds good honey. 03:05 Now, first of all. 03:06 First of all, you really think about these shells. 03:09 I remember a time when I used to go to the store, 03:13 and I would buy the tortilla shells. Okay. 03:15 Okay, and they had a little kit. 03:18 And this kit would actually 03:19 have four shells inside of it, 03:22 and you had a little box and you put the 03:24 shell over top, you made a little box up 03:26 and you put it in the oven and then you baked it 03:29 and then you fill it up. And guess what? 03:32 That shell has something 03:34 like 240 calories in it. Have Mercy! 03:36 And 100 of calories was in fat. 03:40 240 calories and 100 of calories were in fat, 03:43 almost half the calories in fat. 03:45 Almost half, so we are talking about... 03:47 Kind of talking about reducing those calories, 03:48 so with that in mind we are starting off 03:51 with our whole wheat tortilla shell, 03:52 which we are gonna actually get less calories 03:55 because we are gonna be using a whole wheat tortilla shell 03:57 versus white the shell. All right. 03:59 And I know you we talked about this word 04:02 making a salad bowl. I know you are saying, 04:04 well wait a minute, I don't have one of these. 04:07 And this is really what I like to use 04:08 when I make my salad bowl. Okay. 04:10 And so what we do is we put it there, 04:11 and I'm gonna give you... 04:13 Now where you get this salad bowl, honey? 04:15 Well, I like a lot of gadgets remember now, 04:17 I'm a gadget girl and so I found 04:19 that in some store, somewhere. Okay. 04:21 That usually people call me on a phone they say, 04:23 where exactly was it, you know. 04:24 Yeah, we probably get email on that. 04:25 But don't get yourself worked up because 04:27 I'm gonna show you another way to 04:28 make this salad bowl just in case, 04:30 you don't have one of these. Okay. 04:31 Now this first one what I usually do Curtis is 04:33 we have our cooking spray. All right. 04:35 And our cooking spray we are going to 04:37 spray th inside just a little bit. 04:40 Okay, and then we're going to take the shell, 04:41 and I like to make the shell like I want it to be limber 04:44 and I want to be soft, 04:45 so don't take this right out of refrigerator. 04:47 And then all you are gonna do is sit it down inside, 04:49 and you are gonna form your actual shell itself. 04:54 Just lovely. Just like that. 04:56 Okay, and then this can sit inside the oven 04:59 425 degrees for about six minutes 05:02 until it turns golden brown, and you are ready. 05:04 But now let's say... Now, so we are gonna eat 05:06 this shell and everything inside... 05:08 You can whole thing. The whole thing. 05:09 Yes. Okay. 05:11 Now this one is neat. All right. 05:12 I know you have some foil, so what we are gonna do, 05:14 is we are gonna take our foil. 05:15 And you need about four of these 05:17 and you are gonna form it into 05:18 a ball about three inches wide. 05:20 Okay, and all you are going to do is sit that on your tray. 05:23 Okay, nothing is inside this is a... 05:25 Nothing is inside, this ball is four pieces of 05:28 aluminum foil that you wrapped up. 05:29 Okay just like that. Now, let's see... 05:33 Okay, this is new to me. 05:35 I'm going to, okay, let's get out. 05:37 You'll get out that first. Okay, here we go. 05:38 Okay, all right now Curtis let's go ahead 05:41 and put that on that foil. 05:43 But what on a foil? Just right here. 05:44 Yeah, put on the foil. Okay, kind of a... 05:49 you know and then you are going to acutely spray. 05:52 I can do that honey. Okay, spray it lightly. 05:54 And this is high-tech right here, 05:56 so we want to get a close up on the spray. 05:57 Just spray the... Just spray the shell. 05:59 Just spray the shell. All right. 06:02 How is that? Get me little bit there. 06:04 Okay. Okay. Okay. 06:07 I saw the look on your face, I didn't doing it right? 06:09 All right, there we go. Okay, there we go. 06:11 Now, this is going to into oven at 425 degrees. 06:15 Just like this. Just like this, 06:17 and is actually going to curve around the foil. 06:20 Oh! Okay. Okay, now you say really, 06:24 well I just happen to have it already ready to go, 06:26 we have our quick 3ABN oven. 06:29 I will put it there. All right, yeah come to 06:30 3ABN and cook your food, it's lot faster. 06:32 I just gonna bring those right out. 06:35 Okay now, I can tell so this is 06:37 to one that was in the shell. Yes. 06:40 And this is one that we put over the aluminum foil. 06:42 And when it goes in a foil, and then it makes 06:44 likes it's own kind of a shell so you can stuff it. 06:47 Oh! Okay. Okay, but why couldn't we just 06:50 put this also in a shell too? What shell? 06:53 The one we just have to make this one. 06:55 Because they don't have one of those and we shown them... 06:58 Oh, if they didn't have the shell 06:59 they would do at this way. 07:01 Okay. Alright. Moving along swiftly. 07:03 All right I got it. You got it? 07:05 I'm kind of slow, I'm catching up, okay. 07:07 Well, we gonna go ahead and fill the shell. 07:10 Okay. Okay, I have all the things 07:13 that go on and inside of that. 07:17 Now we are gonna stuff the shell, all right. 07:19 Now you notice when we talked about 07:21 it has the grape tomatoes we have the grape tomatoes. 07:23 We got the red peppers and green peepers. 07:25 So we are going to sit that over there. 07:27 And I'm gonna go and get your cutting board 07:29 and we are gonna do some cutting 07:30 got your knife right there and this is 07:33 very, very easy and very, very simple. 07:34 I talked about those spring greens, 07:36 all we are gonna do is just take our spring greens 07:38 and we are gonna sit them inside of that bowl. 07:42 Now should I follow your lead or... 07:43 You can go, why don't you do that one. 07:45 I got to pretty one, right? 07:46 Yeah! Put that one right in here, 07:47 just a little bit inside there. 07:49 The spring salads. Spring salad. 07:51 It has all the good nutritious qualities in it. 07:53 It's better than iceberg lettuce all right. 07:56 Put more in there, 07:57 already ready to go put in there. 07:58 You can get at any regular grocery store, 08:00 readymade okay. Okay. All right. 08:02 You need a little bit more here, all right and now. 08:04 Okay, next? What we are gonna have on here, 08:06 we are gonna have our grape tomatoes 08:07 and why don't go ahead and start the peppers up. 08:10 Okay, you can do a green pepper. 08:11 You want these chopped or...? 08:13 Um hum! We are gonna just do them chopped. 08:14 And then we are gonna do, and if you get me a knife, 08:18 and I will then do the same the over here on the side. 08:20 Let's move this over here. 08:23 Now, you know, we are talking about 08:25 putting good vitamins and minerals 08:27 and having fruits, vegetables, grains, 08:30 cereal all the things that we need to have 08:32 on a daily basis then this salad is one of the ways 08:35 to get all your vegetables in at one time. 08:38 Get all your veggies in and makes it look pretty. 08:40 Just do one honey, don't do a whole lot of it, 08:42 because we are gonna put it on both salads 08:43 and that's enough for that one here. 08:44 That's enough for that one. Okay. Okay. 08:46 And so and then also how about, 08:47 we said a carrot, so we have the ready as well. 08:52 Now how did you come with this idea of salad bowl? 08:56 Well you know, I first of all love salad 08:58 and I figured out if I love the salad 09:00 and I also love tortillas. Okay. 09:03 So I figured, why don't we make a tortilla, 09:04 and also forgot to mention that I told you before 09:07 I used to go to store and when I got to store 09:09 I would actually buy that shell. 09:11 You got four shells in the box, 09:13 and I would put together and put it in the oven 09:15 and I would bake them and it was so good. 09:17 Okay. But it had too much fat it. 09:20 So I said I had to figure out a way. 09:21 And you know what, even when it was cooking, 09:23 I discovered something when it was cooking in the oven, 09:25 baking in the oven, you can you see 09:26 the grease come off the tortilla shell. 09:28 Yeah, so you know that's a high fat item. 09:30 High fat item. But this is the Winning Weigh. 09:32 This is the Winning Weigh. Cooking program, 09:33 so want to keep that in mind. 09:35 That's right. The Winning Weigh. 09:36 Then next thing we are gonna do is how about cucumbers on it. 09:38 Okay, cucumbers. Okay, 09:40 get some cucumbers. These could be diced. 09:42 Yeah, just a little dice in it. 09:44 And this knife, I need a sharp one. 09:46 Okay. Sharp one. 09:48 And now we got the cherry tomato, 09:49 and you know what these great tomatoes, 09:50 I'm gonna justslice them in half. 09:52 This is a knife, this is what I need. 09:53 Oh, oh! Just keep it over there. 09:56 Away from, okay and then you don't have just few of baby, 10:00 then you are gonna share some of that with me okay. 10:02 Okay is this not. One more, okay. 10:05 I don't know how pretty that is, but there it is, okay. 10:07 And then... You got two, I got two. 10:09 Put them on top of each other. 10:11 Oh, okay. And then we are going to slice them up. 10:14 All right, okay. Okay. 10:17 Now can this be a one dish maybe 10:19 you probably need something else with this? 10:21 Well, it depends on your salad size. 10:24 Now you see we got a quite a bit of stuff here, 10:25 so you can actually have this as the main dish. 10:29 So that means you just stack it. 10:31 What we are gonna do is we gonna pack it up. 10:32 So what I wanna do is we are gonna to take and mix 10:34 all these different combinations in our bowl. 10:36 Now I got a question for you now. 10:38 Are they bigger shell other than this size here? 10:41 Because this is good full like 10:42 a baby so, but for full grown man.. 10:44 There are actual shells called Wraps 10:47 and they are huge. They are larger, as a matter of fact. 10:50 They are about 12, technically from 10:51 8 to 10 inches wide, all right. 10:54 And they are Wraps, and you can actually 10:56 do the same kind of thing. 10:58 Even in this bowl... that little pan I showed you, 11:00 I have actually pushed that down inside of it 11:02 and it actually comes up a little bit over the top, 11:04 but it makes a larger bowl. 11:06 All right, and then once again 11:07 if you are gonna do the foil. 11:09 You are gonna make a larger foil and do the same thing. 11:12 And then you have that. 11:13 Now you know just in case you have 11:15 someone like Curtis that likes to eat a lot. 11:17 Then you can have two shells for Curtis. 11:19 But I have a high metabolism 11:21 so I can handle my food. That's true. 11:22 We just want to make sure they understand that. 11:24 Yeah make sure. Yeah, just make sure. 11:25 Okay now let's go ahead and put the stuff down. 11:27 Let's do it, let's do okay. You don't do it. 11:28 You got to do some cherry tomatoes for yourself there. 11:30 Oh! Cherry tomatoes cut that in half. 11:32 And then we just got to start to put stuff on there. 11:34 Okay. We got there. 11:35 Okay, now I'm gonna follow your lead. Now you got... 11:38 Now I got some red peppers 11:40 and stuff here for you too so you can share. 11:41 And we got the red peppers here. 11:43 You can put some green peppers on there. 11:45 So this is very colorful. 11:48 And what else, we have to put some cucumbers on there. 11:51 Cucumbers okay, for you only. 11:54 Now this is.. Very quick and easy. 11:56 This is low calorie dense, as well because 11:59 these foods here have a high contain of water, 12:03 green peppers. Tomatoes. 12:05 Yeah, now if you are near South it's maters, 12:09 if you are in a North it's tomatoes... 12:10 You wanna put some of that on there? 12:12 Okay, and then you got the green peppers. 12:15 I have green peppers already on mine. 12:17 Oh! Okay. Put that one right there. 12:20 Yeah. Beautiful. 12:22 Just Beautiful. Beautiful. 12:24 Okay. How is that? 12:26 Yeah, now we got to fill all these up in here. 12:27 Oh okay use all of this. 12:29 Yeah, because it makes two salad bowls, 12:30 you can notice now, now you even though you sort of, 12:33 yeah think about the fact you know you get 12:34 a lot of stuff in here okay. 12:36 Now I noted that you are saying to yourself, 12:39 I sure would put some olives on there. 12:42 Yeah where are olives? 12:45 And really got this going. 12:47 You have your cherry tomatoes on there baby? 12:48 Yes I do baby. Okay, I wonder where that... 12:51 Where are the olives? Oh! The onion, see, ha, ha, 12:56 busy talking about olives, you forgot the onions. 12:58 All right, slice that up. 13:05 It's enough baby. Okay. Okay, all right. 13:10 We got the onions here. That's enough. 13:13 Okay, yes we really need some black olives honey. 13:19 Did you do that on purpose, left out the black olives? 13:24 Well, the reason that... The reason why? 13:29 The black olives aren't there is because when I went 13:31 to get the black olives, I had a can in a cabinet, 13:35 somehow little black olives was missing. 13:38 Now I'm not quite sure what happens to the olives. 13:41 Well a couple who came off during the last week maybe. 13:43 It might have been. They might have been. 13:44 We need to call them up and see if they took the olives. 13:46 It might have been. Yeah, okay you give them a call. 13:47 But, for sure... For sure. 13:49 You could put that on that and then we just have our 13:50 favorite dressing and we have a basil, 13:54 creamy basil dressing that we use, 13:56 and you can drizzle your dressing 13:57 on top of that as well. Just drizzle? 13:59 And wallah you have, your salad. 14:02 Okay sounds good, tortilla salad 14:06 or taco salad, what is it called? 14:07 Tortilla salad bowl and of course 14:10 has all the salad and everything inside it. 14:11 Okay, that's good. 14:13 All right, it's very, very attractive. 14:14 It's very, very appetizing, very low in calories 14:17 when you think about the salads 14:19 that you would get if you really 14:20 went out somewhere to fast-food restaurant. 14:21 Talking about the Winning Weigh, 14:23 we are talking about actually being able to do foods 14:25 they are lower in calories, but so good for you. 14:28 Okay, what's our next recipe honey? 14:30 Our next recipe is a "mock chicken salad". 14:33 Mock chicken, okay. Mock chicken salad, 14:35 let's look at the recipe. It calls for 15:01 Now I love this salad. Sounds good, chicken salad. 15:04 It's actually a Mock Chicken salad 15:06 because in fact we are not using really chicken, okay. 15:09 What I've done is, I've actually taken my tofu 15:12 and you can use any tofu within water pack. 15:14 And you can put it in a freezer and freeze it. 15:18 And then you want to just take it out, 15:20 and you gonna press the water of it. 15:22 And then you gonna crumble it up to make it look like chicken. 15:25 All right, and while I'm doing that, 15:27 why don't you take and cut up the celery, 15:30 and the onions there for that as well. 15:32 And I'm going to move this out of the away. 15:36 And you know what, instead of olives, 15:38 I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna take my fork 15:41 and I'm gonna crumble it. Okay. 15:46 It crumbles up really well. 15:50 It is supposed to be a chicken texture and it does, 15:52 once you freeze it, it actually has 15:55 a texture of chicken or even turkey, okay. 15:59 Now you made this for me some time ago didn't you? 16:01 Sometime ago... Yes. 16:02 It's been a while though. 16:04 It's been a while, and you get a chance to have here. 16:06 Yes, okay. So you got that going. 16:10 Okay, and that's the... And now, we gonna 16:11 that's gonna be going in here so I finish chopping, 16:13 I want you go ahead and do your onion. 16:16 Okay, put onions in there as well. 16:18 Or scallions, same thing isn't it or what? 16:20 Yeah they both are from same family. Same family. 16:22 Only difference is that's got green, 16:24 it's green stem on there. Okay. 16:26 Okay, I'm going that last one, last part of this. 16:30 And you know, Mock chicken now of course 16:32 is gonna be less fat than regular chicken 16:35 even if you have the skin off of the chicken. 16:37 Absolutely, well this is nothing but tofu here. 16:40 Yeah, so it's gonna be... The calories. 16:41 Very low fat in this dish as well. 16:44 There you go, all right. Now the same mouth feel. 16:47 Now I like this one, because it has 16:49 a nice flavor look at that, looks like chicken pieces. 16:51 Yes, it does. Okay, and I know 16:56 they can see that, okay, and now we are 16:59 go ahead on and throw in our celery. 17:01 Okay celery going in. 17:03 And you gonna go ahead and get everything in. 17:05 And spatula with here. 17:07 And then we are gonna put in next the scallions. 17:11 Scallions or onions, for the family. 17:16 We are gonna mix those all up in there 17:18 and then what we are gonna do is you are gonna get 17:20 your lemon ready. 17:23 And I'm gonna make up the sauce, 17:25 which is our soy sauce or mayonnaise, 17:29 soy mayonnaise, and our powder, 17:32 our garlic powder, and also turmeric. 17:35 I want to put those onion together, 17:37 let me just use this spatula right here. 17:39 This is a contraction I like. 17:40 I know you like that contraction. 17:41 The lemon juicer. One tablespoon of lemon juice. 17:49 Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and put that powder in as well. 17:53 I'm gonna take my fork, and mix this all up. 17:58 Hope there is lemon juice in here I think so. 18:00 Okay, put in let's see. 18:02 And let's see, oh yeah look at that. 18:05 All right, all right. No mess. 18:07 You wanna mix this together. 18:13 Now can we use Mori Nu or I know 18:15 you are using the water pack tofu, 18:17 but this work with the Mori Nu Tofu? 18:20 The reason why I use the Mori Nu 18:21 I mean use this particular one here, 18:23 because first of all when I freeze it, 18:25 it looks like and it has that texture 18:26 of actual chicken all right, once it thaws out. 18:29 So texture is gonna be different than Mori Nu 18:30 that it comes with box. 18:32 Yeah because when you think about chicken 18:33 is more of a textured type product then it is smooth. 18:38 So you want the mouth feel. 18:40 You want that mouth feel. 18:41 We won't get that in Mori Nu. 18:42 Okay. You won't get that. 18:44 But in Water Pack, you will. All right. 18:45 And once we mix this all together, 18:47 okay, we are actually gonna to put this in. 18:52 Give me that spatula. You need a spatula? 18:56 Same one, same one okay. You like this one. 18:59 You know the longer it sits, 19:01 the better it's gonna actually get. 19:02 You know, you can stir this up many different ways 19:07 and you know what, I'm gonna stir this up 19:09 and as I'm stirring this up what's gonna happen 19:11 is you will see this at the end of the program, 19:13 oh okay, I'm gonna special with this, 19:15 so we want you to actually stay by. 19:19 And we gonna go to our break. 19:21 Yeah, so just stay by. |
