Because this is entitled 01:00 dinner for two. So, all cooking. 01:03 All cooking, the entire program is all cooking 01:06 and there is a couple of special things as well. 01:08 Special things, what special things. 01:10 We'll tell you later. Okay. 01:12 Dinner for two does not necessary mean 01:14 that it has to. I'll tell you what one of the things 01:16 I like about, when I talk about dinner for two 01:18 is that there are times when people just do 01:21 special things for you, umm! umm! and you are 01:23 so excited about it and you wanna try 01:26 to find a way to give something back. Okay. 01:28 Alright, for me it's always easier to do some 01:32 cooking because that's my favorite subject, 01:34 outside of God and then Curtis, my children, 01:38 then it's cooking. Okay. Oh, so, I'm right 01:40 behind God, right behind God, that's about 01:41 as high as I can get. A lot of times, 01:43 when there are parties or, yes, or you trying to 01:45 give someone a party, a birthday party, 01:47 you want to do some special for someone this is 01:49 an ideal time, to actually make something up 01:52 and take it and share it. You know that's the way. 01:54 Okay, so this is more of a, 01:56 this could be a ministry then. 01:57 This could be a ministry all by itself. 01:59 Okay, food can be a ministry. 02:00 Yeah, dinner for two. 02:02 There is no relation in loaf of bread that most 02:03 people think. Absolutely, absolutely. Or food. 02:04 Yes. Okay. Our first recipe. Alright. 02:07 Is actually going to be a Citrus Pecan Salad. 02:12 Umm! That's sounds interesting. 02:13 Let's look at the recipe. Okay. 02:15 It calls for: 02:33 Okay, soy bacon bits. Now, of course, 02:36 soy bacon bits, I have to assume that maybe 02:39 people watching this for the first time. 02:40 So, soy bacon bits as apposed to the other 02:44 regular soy or what. Okay, what we do now, 02:46 we are not going to use the regular bacon bits. 02:49 Right. Because you know we are totally 02:50 not doing pork at all while on 3ABN or 02:53 anywhere else for that matter, that's right, 02:54 this is plant based soy. But believe or not, 02:57 soy bacon bits are actually in the regular 03:00 supper market. And we've been seeing 03:02 it over the last several programs 03:04 that all these things had now had moved into 03:07 mainstream grocery stores. Yup, look at them. 03:09 Yes. So they are yes soy, umm! umm! 03:11 Look just like regular bacon and I like them 03:13 because they has that hickory kind of a flavor, 03:16 it's got that crispiness. Yes, okay. 03:18 Just like regular bacon does, 03:20 but it is not bacon, it's soy. 03:22 Right, it has that flavor there and is ready to go. 03:23 That's right, that's right. Okay, good. 03:25 Okay and then of course the spring salad. 03:27 I like this because it's got all the different color 03:28 leaves in it, umm! umm! okay, it's got. 03:30 They're really; the curly leaves, 03:32 the red curly leaves, it has the different 03:36 combinations of lettuces not iceberg that's 03:40 in here so it's very, very nutritious, 03:41 alright as well. Okay. 03:43 And then of course we've our mandarin oranges 03:45 we are gonna be using in this recipe, it is very 03:47 quick recipe as well. We've our pecans. 03:50 Pecans. Ahah! and we have red onions 03:53 and we also have the favorite dressing and 03:55 my favorite dressing today is raspberry dressing. 03:59 Oh! And I like that yes. 04:01 Did you make that or you can purchase that. 04:03 No, no, you can purchase it. Okay. 04:05 You can purchase it from a store. 04:06 You probably can make it though. 04:07 Yeah, you could make it. Yeah. 04:09 But why go through all that. 04:10 Yeah, I go through all that, yeah. 04:12 Okay, we are gonna get started because what 04:13 you want to do, I want you to do, because if you 04:14 would is go ahead on and get the onions 04:16 chopped up and these onions. Okay. 04:17 Are actually, let me just see now I've got the 04:20 onions sliced thin. Slice thin. 04:22 So, if you would do that for me slice those 04:24 real thin. This is one of those 04:25 quick recipes put together. Chopped or 04:27 Slice just slice them real thin. Oh! Okay. 04:29 Okay. Alright. 04:30 While you doing that, I'm gonna reach over 04:32 and I'm gonna take. Oh! Reach over baby. 04:34 This spatula, I'm gonna start put the other things 04:37 in and this is like I said a very quick one. 04:39 So, I'm gonna putting the mandarin oranges in first 04:41 and sometime just adding. You know, 04:43 think about it, your normal salads people 04:45 usually make a salad up and they will have 04:47 a cucumbers and tomatoes and they will have 04:51 maybe a couple radishes in there, bell peppers 04:54 and onions. This is a nice combination because 04:56 it's a kind like a sweet and a sour combination 04:59 together on the tongue. Umm! Alright, so you've 05:01 got the mandarin oranges that kind a citrus taste 05:03 and then you've got that raspberry dressing as 05:06 well and then you've got those nice onions. 05:09 I love red onions, okay. 05:11 Appealing to those taste buds. 05:12 Appealing to the taste buds. Let's put those 05:14 onions in there for me. Okay. 05:15 I'll move this out of your away alright 05:19 this gives nice color as well. 05:21 Is this alright, to it, yeah that's fine, 05:23 that's fine, they are too good. Okay. Okay. 05:25 Now, we are gonna go ahead on and put in, 05:26 go ahead and do the pecans, I was just gonna 05:29 say bacon bits for pecans. Is it pecans or pecans? 05:32 Just put the pecans in. Pecans. 05:34 Alright, we've got those going in. Okay. 05:36 And, and we're gonna put in the baco bits. 05:42 Soy baco bits. Soy baco bits, going in, 05:45 ohh! Umm! Umm! and then 05:49 your favorite dressing is raspberry. 05:51 My favorite dressing, on this one and I usually 05:53 use a different, I always say. Okay. 05:54 Be creative just make your salad a little bit 05:56 different, okay. Okay. 05:57 A little bit different, not the same salad over 05:58 and over and over again and this is a perfect 06:01 salad for a dinner for two, so. Dinner for two. 06:05 Let's pour that in slowly. 06:06 Now, this can be dinner for four. 06:07 It can be. It can be, but today is gonna 06:09 be dinner for two. Absolutely. Absolutely. 06:11 Okay. Okay. 06:12 Now we are just going to move that around 06:15 and I'm going to take and put this in a special 06:19 dish. I like to also serve things up in nice 06:22 dishware okay.

Hey. 07:23 Alright, now let's just go then to our next recipe. 07:27 That we will be going to be preparing because 07:29 we are gonna be moving to a sauce is gonna go 07:31 over something real special. Umm! Okay. 07:33 So, just look at that next recipe. Alright. 07:35 Sweet And Sour Sauce. 07:37 It calls for: 07:57 Now, I'm excited about this particular recipe. 07:59 Because it is a Sweet and Sour Sauce, 08:03 but not like the sauce that you're used to seeing. 08:05 It's actually a Sweet and Sour Sauce, 08:07 but we're gonna be not using the things like 08:10 the vinegars and stuff that are usually in there. 08:12 We're gonna make it up with our cornstarch. 08:15 Cornstarch. Lemon juice. Lemon juice. 08:17 Okay, then we got our pineapple juice and 08:19 this is unsweetened pineapple juice by the way. 08:21 Unsweetened, okay. 08:22 So, just to replace of the vinegar. Right. 08:24 That's normally found in sweet and sour. 08:25 The lemons gonna take the place of that, alright. 08:27 Okay, good. And then we are using 08:28 fruit fructose, which is fruit sugar. 08:29 Fruit sugar. A light soy sauce. Alright. 08:31 And we're gonna put some green peppers in it, 08:34 oh! that sounds good. Diced green peppers. 08:35 You have your gadget. I have my gadget. 08:37 While you're working the gadget, I'm gonna go 08:38 ahead on and put my pineapple juice inside 08:43 of the pan and get it started because 08:45 this comes to a boil in order to be able to make 08:47 that sauce up, okay. 08:48 Okay, the juice of a lemon 08:54 and I'm putting this juice, where honey. 08:56 It's going to go in that cornstarch. Okay. 09:01 And I'm gonna go ahead on it and we're gonna 09:02 start up the... that's getting itself together. 09:05 I'm gonna go ahead and do the pepper. 09:08 I love this. I know you do. Easy to do. 09:10 People always ask the question, where did you 09:12 get that. I'm a gadget girl and I'm always 09:15 finding stuff somewhere and when I do. 09:18 I can't remember, where you got this. 09:20 I've no idea. Have no idea. I've no idea. 09:22 So, don't even email us. We've no idea. 09:24 They are still gonna, we will still get emails, 09:26 but I don't have any idea. 09:27 Yeah, we just told them, yeah. 09:29 Well, I tell people all the time. I go to flea 09:30 markets and get things and sometimes, 09:32 I find them in regular stores, gadget store. 09:34 Gadget store. That's where you really 09:36 find lot of stuff, gadget stores. 09:37 You know, in our travels too people introduce us 09:40 to certain things as well. Umm! 09:42 So, had this quite sometime though. 09:45 I've had it for a while. Okay. 09:49 And just go and take your fork and go ahead 09:51 and stir it up. Lemon juice is ready. 09:53 Lemon, you got all three lemons there. 09:55 All three baby. Okay. Umm! Umm! 09:57 Alright, okay. This is cornstarch. 10:03 Umm! It's cornstarch, let me just hold this 10:07 for a minute here. I want to go ahead on then, 10:09 I'm gonna put my fructose in 10:16 and I'm gonna put my soy sauce lite in 10:24 and you know am I tell you when I used to do, 10:26 my Sweet and Sour Sauce's before, we started 10:29 changing our diet out. I remember that I was 10:31 putting like the ketchup in there and I was 10:33 putting the vinegar in there and all kind 10:35 of stuff and then. We tried to get away from 10:38 all those things because the problems with the 10:40 vinegar, with the digestive tract and the ketchup 10:44 with lot of sugar and stuff in it so. We began to 10:47 move around till we got to the point, 10:48 where we would use different combinations. 10:50 Yes. And by the way this has pineapple juice 10:52 in it and you could also use orange juice in it. 10:55 Alright. Okay. 10:56 So, either one of those can be want. 10:58 I guess the key is with the acid type based juice. 11:00 You have that in acid type base. Okay. 11:01 And you also have that have had a cornstarch 11:03 because the cornstarch helps thicken it up 11:04 to make it into that kind of a same texture 11:07 you have for sweet and sour. Oh! Okay. 11:09 Okay, so we bring this to a boil and I tell you 11:11 we're gonna do, we're gonna go ahead on and 11:13 slowly pour in your mixture and you gonna need 11:16 a spatula because I want honey all that, 11:17 like cornstarch you always wanna make sure 11:19 that when you pour any kind of a cornstarch base, 11:22 okay, into a hot item the cornstarch or 11:25 whatever is being mix with, it has to be cold. 11:27 It has to be cold. Otherwise it will lump up, 11:28 when it goes into the actual product itself 11:30 the liquid product, okay. Okay. 11:32 So, you can go ahead and put that in there, 11:33 slowly pour it in. Cornstarch, okay alrighty 11:42 all the goodies, all the goodies. 11:44 Yes dear, has a TV program isn't it, yes dear. 11:49 Okay, I think I got it all, do I have it all honey. 11:51 Yeah, yeah that's it. Okay. Okay. Alright. 11:54 We are going to stir this around and this is gonna 11:55 get thick and what I usually do when it does 11:58 is there is a couple things that happen. 12:00 Number one is you're gonna keep on stirring. 12:02 Because you don't want it to stick, just check 12:04 the cornstarch stick to the body of the pan. 12:06 Okay. Green peppers or diced green peppers I 12:09 put in because it's gonna be special for this dinner 12:11 for two or something I am gonna do later. 12:12 You can also do a combination of the green 12:14 pepper and the red pepper together 12:16 and you could also put in little pieces of 12:20 pineapple. Because it's actually pineapple juice 12:23 we are using and all this is because we got 12:25 a special thing we're gonna be doing on this 12:28 particular segment called dinner for two. 12:30 Dinner for two. I want it also to look very nice 12:33 and have the pretty presentation as well. 12:34 It could be dinner for two romantically. 12:38 Romantically, dinner for two. 12:39 Might wanna. There you go, 12:41 It very well might wanna be. 12:42 The show name, but. It might very well 12:44 want it being something like that. 12:46 Oh! Hey, I'm getting excited already. Okay. Okay. 12:47 And with that, what we are gonna do is we're 12:49 gonna actually just take a break. Okay. 12:51 So, then when we come back, you will then 12:53 the very next recipe, so stay by. |
