00:01 People often asked me the question, are there
00:03 foods that actually help fight cancer? The 00:05 answer is yes, and on today's show we are 00:09 going to talk about those cancer fighting 00:11 foods, so stay by. 00:41 Well, welcome to Abundant Living, I am 00:44 Paula Eakins and this is my husband Curtis 00:47 Eakins. Thank you very much and we're glad to 00:51 be able with you today. Yes we are. And we've 00:53 got some exciting foods that we're going to be 00:55 talking about today on the show. And these are 00:57 the cancer fighting foods. Cancer fighting 00:59 foods. The cancer fighters. Yes, as a 01:01 matter of fact all the foods that we're going 01:03 to be doing on the show today are the foods that 01:05 are recommended by the American Cancer 01:06 Society and lots of color, believe it or not 01:10 people are surprised because the cancer 01:11 society Curtis actually talks about more fruits 01:14 and more vegetables and also talks about 01:16 more whole grain foods as well. So all those 01:19 type of foods are going to be on the show and 01:21 also talk about more of the legume family as 01:24 well. Legumes are going to be on the 01:25 show. And less of the meats are red meat, yes 01:27 and so therefore it's a good combination, yes, 01:30 lower in red meats and sometimes some people 01:32 take no meats at all no meats and also increase 01:35 the fruits and vegetables and also that also means 01:37 as we've always talked about on Abundant 01:39 Living that also means lowering that salt 01:41 amount, lowering that sugar amount, all those 01:43 also a key as well. Now just thinking about it to, 01:45 those maybe watching for the first time, we've 01:47 said this many times before in Abundant Living. 01:49 God's original diet is a plant based diet, 01:52 absolutely, and therefore is a Genesis 1:29 01:56 it's a plant based diet. 02:00 Hmm. And with that in mind there is a lot of 02:02 fruits, there is a lot of vegetables, legumes, 02:04 whole grains and no meat at all. So again 02:07 that's what the American Cancer Society 02:09 is moving closer to that diet as well. 02:10 Well, you know we're going to be doing a lot 02:12 of color and stuff on this program and you 02:14 know I hope they have their pencil and their 02:15 paper out because you know we're gonna go to 02:17 our very first, first recipe, okay, which is a 02:20 green and orange salad, let's look at the recipe. 02:23 It calls for: 02:43 and we're gonna use that for 02:45 garnish. Okay, so this is not your typical tossed 02:48 salad you know you have the fruit in here. 02:51 I kind of call it a fruity salad really because it 02:53 does have a orange in that, it has grape and 02:54 also has a pear as well, alright. Alright. And 02:57 notice that when I said romaine, you can use 03:00 romaine lettuce you can use other green leaf 03:03 lettuce, you can use red leaf and for color I've 03:06 got a combination of the romaine and the red 03:08 leaf lettuce as well. Now one of the things 03:10 that I'm going to do Curtis is, I'm going to 03:12 take the lettuce and I'm going to just start 03:15 breaking it up and I do that because if you 03:17 break it with your fingers it will not turn 03:19 on you like it would if you use a sharp knife on 03:21 it, oh okay. If you use a sharp knife of course it 03:23 will turn brown and it's a little bit of a, matter of 03:26 few seconds with good oxidation. Okay, so 03:28 we're gonna to use the romaine and red 03:32 leaf combination, it's going to make a real 03:33 nice presentation. Now, I noticed she almost 03:35 said iceberg, you said that were ice and the 03:38 reason... why aren't we using iceberg 03:41 in this particular one? Oh you're asking me the 03:42 question. Yeah, I'm asked you that question. 03:44 Oh okay that wasn't really in the script. Aha! 03:45 But I'll answer anyway because you asked. 03:48 Okay. Iceberg is basically 98% water, 03:51 that's right, 98 so again myself go ahead and 03:54 drink some water, but no nutritional value, no 03:58 nutritional value basically at all in iceberg lettuce, 04:00 so we're using this romaine and red 04:02 romaine and or green leaf or red combination. 04:06 Okay, okay now I'm gonna tell right now 04:08 what we got here is we got a couple of things, 04:10 number one in your group over there you 04:12 have the lemon juice and you also have a 04:14 Tarragon and you've got the canola and I'm 04:17 going to set this over to the side for a minute here 04:19 because this is the Navel Orange and I'm 04:21 going to cut the orange up to put inside the 04:23 salad, while I'm doing that you can go ahead 04:25 on and begin putting your combination 04:26 together, which is going to be your lemon juice, 04:28 lemon juice, the canola and you've got the 04:30 Tarragon and also, put all these three in here, 04:33 aha and you're going to squish that up, so I'm 04:35 gonna go ahead and peel that orange. Okay, 04:37 and I like the Navel Oranges, it's sweet 04:40 alright and it's a real simple one to put 04:44 together and you know what, sometimes when 04:46 you do lettuce Curtis you'll discover that 04:48 salad within a day or so will wilt on you. I like 04:54 this one because of the lemon and also the 04:57 orange, this salad will last a couple of days 05:00 believe it or not, okay. I'll take off the rest of 05:03 this white here. And speaking of the cancer 05:05 fighting foods, the lemon, orange, the 05:09 lemony, that's whole family has some cancer 05:12 fighters in there as well so this is a good cancer 05:16 fighting, a good starter, a good starter, salad 05:18 yes. A cancer fighting salad and what about 05:21 the red grapes? Now red grape is very 05:24 powerful, it's been clinically proven to be a 05:27 very powerful anticancer properties, 05:31 particularly in the skin of the red grape, we 05:33 called that resveratrol. So the red grape is very 05:36 powerful in initiation and promotion stage, 05:39 those are the first two stages of cancer 05:41 development and the red grape has shown to 05:44 really slow it down, or halt, the stages in those 05:47 two stages of cancer. Now again, a lot of 05:49 people ask what about grape juice, now grape 05:51 juice does not have resveratrol. Now 05:54 alcohol does have it but of course the alcohol, 05:56 red wine I should say, but alcohol because it's 05:59 also a cancer promoter, so that's not the best 06:01 choice. So the red grape, particularly skin 06:03 of the red grape and the Thompson or the green 06:05 grape does not have resveratrol. So looking 06:07 at the red grape. You want to make sure that 06:09 you get the red grape, the red grape, and what 06:11 about that dark blue grape? How can that, 06:14 can that help at all? Well, the dark blue 06:15 grape does not have resveratrol and that 06:17 what we want, but it does have high in 06:20 antioxidants properties, once again is a inhibitor 06:25 of the free radicals and I won't get into a lot of 06:28 detail here but again we need antioxidants, 06:31 because by breathing, by oxygen exchange we 06:34 produce free radicals. So therefore, just like if 06:38 you cut a apple, once the air hits the apple, 06:41 the apple turns, what will prevent that apple 06:44 from turning, you put something that has 06:46 antioxidant, which is lemon juice. Okay. So 06:48 that's the way that works. So, we got a 06:50 combination and we got that lemon. I'm just 06:52 gonna to take it up at this side of the, this 06:54 orange. Okay, looking good baby. There are on 06:56 the top of that, alright, and as I said before we 06:58 have our pears, I'm just kind of cut them and 07:01 we're gonna put them pears around, you know 07:03 we had this not too long ago, when you liked 07:05 this combination also. Yes, been a while but 07:07 I'll be having again today. Yes, sounds 07:10 good. Now this is in your, this is one of your 07:13 recipes, I know we're just putting it together, 07:14 we have supplemental pack now, that's true, 07:16 and in these combinations, these 07:17 things that we're doing this particular one is 07:19 going to be in a supplemental pack 07:21 okay, oh okay, put the grapes on there, red 07:23 grapes, red grapes that one your favorites, with 07:26 the skins, yes I like all types of grapes. But you 07:29 know this recipe is really a recipe that I've 07:31 seen sometimes ago and I use it. It talked about 07:35 taking the grape and cutting the grape in 07:39 half, yeah. Well. I like the grape on top just 07:41 like that, I think it has a pretty presentation 07:43 alright. And what we're going to do now is just 07:45 take this combination, we're just wanna 07:48 drizzle, and we're gonna drizzle it on top. Okay, 07:50 alright. I'll let you do that, I'm gonna to move 07:55 that over toward you and you can drizzle that 07:57 for us, just gonna drizzle a little bit, just 07:59 all around and make sure you get that right 08:00 there in the middle there. Yes, and that's 08:04 also a pretty presentation, that has a 08:05 peppermint also, okay baby, yes baby. Okay. 08:10 How about that honey? That is wonderful. It's 08:12 wonderful just marvelous, just 08:14 marvelous, see how fast we that, we have it, the 08:16 salad is ready to go, you know and that's a salad 08:20 and you know the roughage, the salad is 08:21 very, very good, not just once again for just 08:25 a cancer fighter but we should have that 08:26 roughage, you know, everyday. Right. Put 08:29 that roughage in and it's very, very good for the 08:30 body system. Coloring once again, I like about 08:32 the whole food group when we talk bout 08:34 cancer fighters, it's coloring. Yes, you 08:37 know God put and place into this particular 08:40 family, when we talk about the fruits and the 08:41 vegetables and the whole grain, he put 08:43 those colors there to entice us, because we 08:46 eat with our eyes absolutely, absolutely. 08:48 It must look appealing. Well I know one thing, 08:50 I know people ask me a question that is, they 08:52 say okay, okay what other foods can we 08:54 possibly use? Well, how about we're going 08:56 to actually be doing a fish cake. We're going 08:59 to make fish cakes, fish cakes, fish cakes, so 09:02 let's go to the actual recipe, okay. 09:04 It calls for: 09:40 Now, I know people ask 09:48 the question is it possible to make Mock 09:49 Fish Patty. Is it possible? and the 09:51 answer is, yes it is, yes it is. As a matter of fact 09:53 we're going to put some different things in this, 09:55 our food processor and you're going to be 09:57 amazed, you wait till you make it, you're 09:59 going to be really shocked. Now this is a 10:00 vegetarian show. Now, yes it is, plant based so, 10:02 this okay and I already said Mock Fish Patties, 10:04 Mock, okay and so they call for 1 cup of water 10:07 and then it called for the 1 cup of actually yellow 10:11 split peas. Okay. And what happens is as you 10:13 put the water in there and let it sit overnight 10:15 in a container, it will actually soften up the 10:18 peas itself and believe it or not it will yield over 10:21 two cups of yellow split peas, how about that, 10:25 look at that, this is all that, well it just swell 10:27 up, okay I'm gonna to go ahead on and start in 10:29 if you give me a spatula there Curtis because 10:31 this has quite a few things that actually go 10:32 in it. I'm gonna go ahead on and put in the 10:35 split peas first. Now you can get split peas at 10:37 any grocery store, any grocery store, yellow 10:39 split peas, okay yellow split peas, we have the 10:40 green split peas all of those are in your 10:42 regular grocery store, your local grocery store 10:44 okay. So, it's not being as hard to find okay 10:48 people always say looks like corn but it's not 10:49 corn as you given, it went to the side there 10:52 okay. Now, next what we're going to do 10:54 Curtis, is we're gonna put all of the 10:55 ingredients in while I'm getting ready to do that, 10:57 I would like for you we got the garlic right 10:59 there, okay, I'm gonna go ahead and cut the 11:01 onions up real, real quick here. Well me 11:03 too, you go ahead into the garlic and I put the 11:04 garlic in there and we're going to put the onions 11:07 in and you would know because it's going to go 11:08 in the food processor, it can actually be large 11:11 pieces so you know we don't have to worried 11:13 about it because the food processor is going 11:14 to actually break it all up anyway, alright. 11:16 Talking about the cancer fighters, about 11:18 the cancer fighters, garlic is a powerful 11:19 cancer fighter yes, yes and I guess onion 11:22 because it's a cousin. Well yeah, onion is in 11:23 the same family. Yes, I'm going to be putting 11:26 together also, here's our celery, I know that's 11:28 another good one of those cancer fighters 11:30 foods, big chunks of celery is going in there 11:33 as well and I'm gonna put that in, I mean we 11:37 just putting it all in there, how about that 11:39 and don't cut them up too fine because it's 11:41 gonna to go round in it baby. Okay, it's too late 11:42 now baby I'm finished. Okay let's go ahead on 11:44 it okay and we're gonna go ahead and dump that 11:46 in and we're gonna go ahead and get some 11:48 more parsley, I mean this is the celery, gonna 11:50 put that in okay and we'll finish there, if you 11:54 will take that parsley there for me and you 11:56 can go ahead and break that up a little bit, here 11:58 we go, that's gonna go in also. Okay. Alright. 12:01 You want me just to kind of chop this up a 12:02 little bit. Yeah, now isn't parsley another one 12:04 of those cancer fighting foods just, just cut it 12:06 half that's all you have to do. Oh okay, okay 12:08 because I'm gonna go ahead on and I'm gonna 12:10 put in the instant oats, oh and lets move it all 12:15 around, all around and move oats. Now roll 12:18 oats won't work, no this is instant oats, instant 12:20 oats, you need instant. You got to get this 12:21 particular one. Just checking, just checking, 12:22 alright. Now what you can do is we can go 12:24 ahead on, lets take the parsley, now again you 12:28 just said fish cakes, because right now, 12:30 looking at this, I know so far I know I know 12:33 yeah okay I understand, I understand, I'm just 12:37 checking, that's right, this is the fish cake 12:38 recipe. That's right. They're gonna to be 12:40 calling in on this one, okay and this is one of 12:42 our family favorite ones anywhere every time 12:43 we make this up you know and okay we got 12:45 that in there and you now what, I'm gonna 12:48 start the first spin and then we're gonna to add 12:50 the other ingredients to this also as well, okay. 12:53 We want to make sure that you get all those 13:08 split peas in, so just kind of turn around a 13:10 little bit. Now did the split peas have to be the 13:12 yellow ones, yeah for this particular recipe 13:14 you know everything, because there are 13:16 different colors for peas. Yeah everything 13:17 is about aesthetics and the color, we're going to 13:19 try to make, we're gonna make these into 13:20 Fish Patties. So you want, the coloring is 13:21 very, very important, because you eat with 13:23 our eyes okay. I want to turn this back on again 13:25 and we're gonna to go ahead and spin it. Now, 13:34 what I'm going to do now is I'm going to start 13:36 putting in all the rest of the ingredients, to make 13:39 this patty up alright. We have the lime, we're 13:46 going to put in, Curtis and we're gonna add in, 13:48 we got our other spices here, the coconut, 13:52 coconut and okay the pimentos, I'm going to 13:55 go ahead on and pour those on top. Now this 13:56 our lime juice, okay fresh lime juice, we got 14:01 the time, we're gonna put that in the 14:04 seasoning, thyme in time. Now we got the salt 14:06 there as well, sea salt in there. I'm gonna put the 14:08 coconut and this, put the lemon and the 14:10 coconut, this is the secret, this is the secret 14:12 that actually gives it that texture when you 14:14 bite into it, as though it's actually fish. So, 14:18 we're revealing all of our secrets in this show 14:19 now, well it's alright, ' cause they're going to 14:21 seeing it, they can know anyway, that's alright 14:22 okay, okay that's alright. It is pretty, it's 14:24 not only that, it's pretty. Okay and then lastly 14:27 we're gonna to put the in the kelp, and this is 14:29 what really gives it the fish, that's really brings 14:31 that out, the kelp, the flavor yeah, gonna put 14:34 the kelp in there alright. Gonna put that lid back 14:36 on top of that, very good, spin it again. 14:38 Moving it down and this is the last time and 14:57 you can see, see it's making the sauce 14:58 becoming yes. It's getting that texture like 15:01 that of Patties and you know what, we're going 15:04 to go ahead and put that in the Curtis and you're, 15:06 I talked about that canola oil, okay that 15:08 we're going to be using and you know we 15:10 always talk about heat your skillet up, so go 15:12 ahead and get your skillet it ready to go. 15:13 Okay. Turn it on, which you want to about 15:15 maybe 300, about 300, let's put it on 300 okay 15:18 and I'm going to, once I spin this, the next time 15:21 around, because we are making the Patties to 15:23 put in there. Now you know once again we 15:25 said before and we'll say it again when we're 15:27 talking about trying to cut back on the fats and 15:30 the oils in the diet and whether it's cancer 15:32 fighter foods or heart disease or diabetes, then 15:35 we want to make sure that we don't use as 15:37 much as a recipe might call for, alright. Okay. 15:39 Now, this one says for the three tablespoons, 15:41 because we're going to make a lot of Patties 15:42 right. What I'm going to do we always started 15:44 heating up our skillet, if you heat the skillet first, 15:46 then you actually use less oil alright and so 15:50 that's going to heat up and then you're going to 15:52 take and pour a little bit of your oil in there. 15:53 Meanwhile, I'm going to go ahead and 15:55 continue to spin this around. So, I stop 15:57 pouring the oil in here, now yeah, it's heated, 16:00 you can give me that larger bowl over there. Okay, 16:02 give me that bowl right there, what I would do 16:03 is I'm gonna pour this in here we get done. So 16:05 just do about maybe half of it, that's enough, 16:07 that's enough. Okay and then you have a spatula 16:09 over there, you can kind of move it around 16:11 inside there, okay. I'm going to meanwhile go 16:12 and do this one more time. That's it, one 16:29 more, I said one more. Now we can make 16:33 patties out of those, we can make patties okay, 16:35 Now what I usually do is turn this off, lift 16:44 this up, okay and we're gonna pour the 16:50 contents. Let me get that middle one out. I 16:52 can hold it by my finger there, okay, believe it or 16:55 not, okay. So now this is to substance for the 16:58 fish patties, this is for the fish patties and you 17:00 just to finish making a comment about the 17:02 parsley, yes, and how important, the lemon 17:04 juice is, all the goodies in here, right, you know 17:07 of course the split peas is in the legume family, 17:10 legume family. Okay, that's true and so with 17:11 that in mind we got the legumes in here as well. 17:13 This makes it wonderful... yeah, you can put 17:17 that over there for me. Okay. Thank you. And 17:19 we're gonna go ahead on and do get that in 17:23 there alright. Now we're gonna to just do a few 17:25 of the patties because at the end of the show I 17:28 will be showing you what that looks like, 17:29 you got that going over there and now we need 17:33 a nice spoon. I'm going to go ahead and spray 17:35 my hands because I'm getting ready to really 17:37 get me a spoon there aha, I'm gonna spray 17:41 my hands, wanna spray it in my hands, it will 17:44 help to give me a better, no, no give me that give 17:48 me the white one, give me the white spoon, 17:50 that's one. My hands are slippery, slippery, 17:54 slippery okay and okay, got to put that, just 18:00 make a circle out of it and we're going to, now 18:02 we play Ms. Patty Cakes, fish patties, I'm 18:07 going to lay it right there, okay and now 18:09 this recipe of course you can use to make up 18:13 the fish patties, but I'm going to tell you, it 18:14 actually will make about 15 patties alright, 18:20 it's a nice amount okay and it goes very well 18:23 with a whole wheat bread, some tartar 18:26 sauce. Now you got tartar sauce in your 18:29 cook book right, okay, okay. And we're going 18:32 to take that now, guess what if you say okay 18:34 what else can I do with that you can also make 18:37 fish sticks alright as well and just makes 18:40 them smaller, just make them smaller and 18:42 longer, that's right, you got fish sticks okay. It's 18:45 amazing, I like this recipe after you make it 18:48 up, after you brown on both sides, nice golden 18:51 brown, then what you would do is you put it 18:53 in the oven. And the temperature is going to 18:55 be about 325 degrees okay, and you will 18:59 actually let it bake for about 25 minutes, 19:01 because remember now, we got split peas and 19:03 stuff in it, so we wanna make sure that the 19:04 middle of it is not soft, okay. Alright, that will 19:07 actually harden it, harden it out okay. I 19:10 know we had this last night and the whole 19:12 wheat bun and lettuce and tomatoes and that's 19:16 was very good eating. One more, one more, 19:18 okay one more going here, okay, alright, and 19:22 fish patties, look at my hands, my hands I think 19:25 greasy, I'll let you do that I'm not getting my 19:26 hands dirty. I start to ask you Curtis I said 19:28 you know, you know maybe Curtis might 19:30 want, want to get, no, you're doing a good job 19:32 baby, go ahead and do this himself, you know, 19:33 you're doing a good job okay. Now, if you 19:35 would give me a little bit more oil down this, 19:36 this end down here. Okay. Then, just a little 19:39 bit down there, just down the aside and it 19:41 will be here on this corner and that way we 19:42 can make sure all of it turns nice and brown 19:44 okay and we're going to turn our fire up okay 19:48 and that's going to get, should I cover this, 19:50 and we're going put the lid on top and what will 19:52 happen is once it browns, it will brown 19:54 on one side, okay, nice golden brown and it 19:57 will also turn a nice golden brown on the 20:00 second side as well. And then at that point 20:02 you just take and lay them on a cookie sheet, 20:04 one layer at a time and when you do that, 20:06 within ten minutes they're ready to go. Oh 20:09 okay, maybe I'll take a break and what you 20:11 need, that's where you take a break, because 20:13 we still got a couple more recipes to work 20:15 with, this is not over yet, so stay by. |
