00:46 I want to spend my life
00:51 Mending broken people
01:07 Hi, welcome to, 3ABN today.
01:09 And I'm Curtis and that will be Paula.
01:14 How you doing today? I'm doing wonderful?
01:16 You're looking mighty good too.
01:17 Well, praise the Lord.
01:18 Yes, all right, another cooking show, my dear.
01:21 Another show, another 'Today' show.
01:23 Another today show with a lot of new recipes.
01:26 Some of these are new recipes, aren't they?
01:27 New, new, new recipe.
01:28 Okay, 'cause you are always developing
01:30 new recipes all the time
01:32 till the second coming of Jesus Christ.
01:33 Always in the kitchen. Always.
01:35 My first love God, second love Curtis,
01:38 third love the children, and forth love recipes.
01:41 Oh, I'm right behind God, yeah? That's right.
01:42 That's right behind somebody good.
01:44 Okay, I'll snoke with that, all right
01:46 but I know my wife
01:48 she'll always love to experiment
01:50 with recipes all the time
01:51 and so she's always in the kitchen,
01:53 always and of course, I always have to sample
01:56 these recipes and I'm the taste tester
01:58 but someone have to do it and I'm the one.
02:01 Well, people are always looking for easy quick ways.
02:04 They want to eat healthy,
02:05 but they want it quick and easy.
02:07 And so today's recipe... Right, and taste good.
02:08 Oh, it definitely got to taste good.
02:09 It's got to look good, taste good,
02:11 smell good all that together.
02:12 Yeah.
02:14 And then they say, "Also, don't forget about the money.
02:15 I don't want to spend a lot of money okay?"
02:17 And the good news is it's easy to get.
02:18 Easy to get.
02:19 Okay, so you don't have to,
02:21 you know, go to China and get the recipes or ingredients.
02:23 It's right here.
02:25 You don't, you don't, you don't.
02:26 Most of these are on regular grocery stores right here.
02:28 Most of them are from regular grocery stores.
02:29 Grocery stores have gotten to the point
02:31 now where they're actually bringing
02:32 in a lot of the health food section.
02:33 So you'll see things, like, you know, we used to only see,
02:36 like, let's say lasagna noodles,
02:37 that were semolina enriched.
02:40 Well, now you have the whole wheat noodles.
02:42 And look at the pasta,
02:43 all the different pastas out there now.
02:44 They're all done in a whole wheat blends
02:46 so, you know, a lot more different things out there.
02:48 A lot more they've changed,
02:49 like the cheeses have changed out.
02:53 Cream cheeses have changed now
02:54 and all because of the fact that the community,
02:56 the population is saying,
02:58 "I want to be more healthy right now."
02:59 Right, right, people are moving that way too as well, yeah.
03:01 And not to mention they want to get the money.
03:03 Yes, okay.
03:04 You know, as we are the South Central
03:06 Conference Health Ministry's director.
03:08 And that includes our Kentucky Tennessee,
03:10 Alabama, Mississippi, and Northwest part of Florida.
03:13 So we're talking about the South, the deep South
03:15 probably the most challenging area
03:18 in this nation.
03:19 And so when it comes to healthful living,
03:21 this is really the area that is really needed
03:23 in our territory,
03:25 and started a conference for health directors
03:27 so this is really needed.
03:28 It's needed and once again, like I said before, Curtis,
03:31 they are just saying,
03:33 "If it's going to be healthy I am running and ripping."
03:35 I don't know about you,
03:36 but everybody seems to be in a fast track everywhere.
03:39 And so if the food is available,
03:42 if it's ready, if it's,
03:43 you know, all you have to do is warm it up,
03:45 you know, or maybe prepare it within 35-45 minutes
03:48 then people are more inclined to go healthy otherwise.
03:51 And, you know, when you get hungry,
03:53 you're going to grab whatever is in place
03:55 and that means things in the refrigerator
03:57 and things you brought in because, one of mine...
03:58 And it's usually not healthy.
04:00 No, no. If you grab something else.
04:01 And then that evening you just start crying
04:04 because you realize that you ate a lot of stuff
04:05 you shouldn't have had.
04:07 Now you feel depressed,
04:08 and then you eat more 'cause you feel bad.
04:10 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
04:11 And the Dominoes keeps rolling down the hill,
04:13 so, but these recipes today...
04:14 These are good, these are good.
04:16 These are actually...
04:17 Believe it or not,
04:19 you know, people are used to using the stove
04:22 over the oven for fixing their foods
04:24 and when they're fixing their foods in the stove
04:26 it's going to take not only more heat
04:27 but also a longer time.
04:29 Well, these recipes that we're presenting today
04:31 on Today Show are all quick and easy recipes
04:34 that you can repair on top
04:35 like our Easy Vegan Stovetop Lasagna
04:39 and then we're going to be doing a Sauteed Kale Greens
04:44 and you know, we're gonna go to that Skillet Shepherd's Pie
04:49 and when we finish that pie,
04:50 we're actually going to Chicken Fajitas.
04:53 Chicken Fajitas?
04:54 Yeah, with all the fixings on it
04:56 and we're gonna end our show
04:57 with an Apple Raisin Pecan Burritos.
05:01 Mmm.
05:02 Now chicken that's not the real chicken or not...
05:05 None of it's real.
05:06 My 3ABN audience know...
05:08 They know better.
05:09 They know, they know and those who are watching
05:10 for the very first time because one time...
05:12 New watchers, new viewers.
05:14 We had people saying, they were at a hotel room
05:16 and they turned their T.V. on
05:17 and they heard us laughing and they switched back
05:19 and they saw 3ABN
05:21 and so they might not know
05:23 that we're actually a program that does all...
05:24 Plant based.
05:26 Plant based cooking and so with that in mind,
05:28 yeah, we have to say that when we talk about everything.
05:30 It's either a mock beef crumble or a mock chicken crumble,
05:34 mock steaks.
05:36 Everything is done in a plant based format
05:38 but it looks like and acts like the real thing.
05:40 Okay, God's original diet.
05:43 God's original diet, okay.
05:44 All right, so therefore,
05:46 now these are the recipes on top of the stove,
05:48 so people are not turning on their ovens, correct?
05:50 No oven on and...
05:51 So they save electricity.
05:52 I know, one of my friends
05:54 when I told her we were doing this show,
05:55 she said, "Lasagna on top of the stove,
05:57 come, Paula, come on you know you got to go in that oven
05:59 with that Lasagna,
06:00 with all those three tiers and everything."
06:02 You know? Yes.
06:03 And I said, "No, you don't.
06:04 We're actually going to do Lasagna on top of the stove."
06:06 We're gonna save some people utility bills on this one.
06:09 Yes, yes, yes. Yes, all right.
06:10 And everybody's gonna be ready,
06:11 you know, this is one recipe that children can use as well.
06:14 So let's go to the actual recipe.
06:15 Okay, let's do it.
06:17 This recipe calls for three tablespoons of olive oil.
06:22 One package of mock beef crumbles.
06:24 One 24-ounce jar of spaghetti sauce.
06:27 One in three-fourth cups of water.
06:30 One-third cup of Italian dressing.
06:32 One teaspoon of parsley.
06:34 One teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
06:37 One teaspoon of garlic powder.
06:39 One teaspoon of onion powder.
06:41 One tablespoon of chicken style seasoning.
06:44 One and one-half cup of tofu, silken firm, crumbled.
06:48 Three garlic cloves, minced.
06:50 Eight whole wheat lasagna noodles
06:52 and one cup of Daiya cheddar style cheese.
06:56 Okay, now let's talk about some of these ingredients
06:59 because it maybe new to a lot of people.
07:02 The chicken style seasoning, let's talk about that for those
07:04 who maybe watching for the first time.
07:06 Chicken style seasoning...'
07:09 cause I can hear the question already,
07:10 chicken style seasoning.
07:11 Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, let me just say that,
07:13 well, as you know as you're gonna be seeing
07:14 as we're putting this together.
07:15 Okay.
07:17 The chicken style seasoning and beef style seasoning
07:18 or mock seasonings that look like
07:20 and basically they're actually seasonings
07:22 that do not have any chicken or beef in them whatsoever.
07:25 So these are mock?
07:26 Yeah, they have a brand out there called McKay's.
07:29 They've got a couple other brands out there also,
07:31 but when you go look for them in your supermarket,
07:32 you will see they're actually imitation chicken,
07:35 imitation beef so it will say on there.
07:37 And then in a regular grocery store,
07:39 you know, that was going to be in a health food store.
07:40 In a regular grocery store, in the natural food section.
07:41 Okay.
07:43 And if it's not there talk to the people there
07:45 and say, "You need a natural food section."
07:46 That's right. That's what we say, you know?
07:47 Okay.
07:49 I saw it on 3ABN
07:50 and I would like to get some chicken style seasoning,
07:53 beef style seasoning, all right?
07:54 Lobbying, all right.
07:55 Lobby for it, lobby for it, you know?
07:57 And, so, yeah we got that.
07:58 And also we have our beef crumbles
08:01 which is actually a ground beef
08:03 that looks like regular ground beef.
08:04 Now there's many brands or products
08:06 of ground beef mock.
08:08 Yes. Many variations, or...
08:10 This one, Curtis, comes frozen.
08:12 It actually comes frozen and so it's a better one.
08:14 We used use the TVP
08:15 now they've got a frozen one out there
08:17 that you can actually use.
08:18 A lot of companies are making the beef crumbles now.
08:20 That's optional to us as well.
08:21 And also we're using, believe it or not,
08:24 a whole wheat noodles
08:26 or lasagna noodles or a whole wheat noodle.
08:28 And we're gonna be using in this recipe
08:29 and I want to say that
08:30 when we did that whole wheat noodle before,
08:33 the actual... remember now on the programs,
08:35 people always ask me, "Are these your recipes?
08:37 Did you just come up with those?"
08:39 And so what I do is a lot of times
08:40 I will go into a recipe that I might have had in a book
08:43 from back in the day, that's back in the day.
08:45 That's some time ago...
08:46 And I will actually go in there
08:47 and I will transfer the things out.
08:49 So if it says, "Regular in rich pasta noodle,
08:51 " I will use a whole wheat pasta noodle.
08:53 If it says, "Regular ground beef,
08:54 " I will use the mock ground beef.
08:56 And so I'm able to switch things out that way.
08:58 And then some things, like for instance,
09:01 you will see also we will be using also a cheese,
09:04 it's called a daiya cheese,
09:05 which is a new cheese on the market.
09:07 That's actually a cheese that we use to simulate
09:09 that of regular cheese, okay?
09:11 Okay.
09:12 And for our cottage cheese, believe or not,
09:13 'cause we're actually going to be using our silken tofu.
09:15 Okay.
09:16 Because it has that resemblance,
09:17 as you're going to see in little bit,
09:19 you're going to see a resemblance
09:20 of how it looks like
09:22 actual cottage cheese, all right?
09:23 Okay, all right.
09:24 And so we're going to go ahead...
09:26 I think everything that you were actually asking me
09:27 that might be new or different.
09:28 Yes, I think the different are the daiya cheese,
09:30 and enrichened and whole wheat,
09:31 so we don't want to use enrich, or refine, all right?
09:34 No, enrich, no enrich.
09:35 'Cause that can lead to prediabetes.
09:38 Absolutely.
09:39 Refined carbohydrates, so we're using...
09:41 And we will talk about that too.
09:42 Yeah. Okay, so...
09:44 I'm gonna start off by putting in my olive oil
09:45 and my skillet to get it ready
09:47 so that I can do the mock ground beef.
09:49 So let me go here and...
09:50 Now how come this recipe on top of the stove,
09:51 I mean, did you just experiment this
09:53 or you saw it some place or...
09:54 Now believe it or not, I actually saw this one.
09:56 Oh.
09:57 Matter of fact, somebody
09:59 actually had a recipe for a stove top lasagna.
10:01 But it had all the other stuff.
10:03 All the other stuff that are not as healthy?
10:05 Yeah, and you know and I'm really thankful that,
10:08 you know, it's a God given gift.
10:11 He has actually said...
10:12 you know, I can go back in there and say,
10:13 "Well, I mean a stove top is a good idea
10:16 and quick and fast is a good idea.
10:17 And who don't like lasagna, you know?
10:19 So I just said to myself, "Let's see if we can make this
10:22 a little bit more healthier."
10:23 Okay. Plant based, all right?
10:25 What did self say in response?
10:26 Self said, "Go ahead and do it, girl."
10:28 That's what self said?
10:29 I did it, I did it and I'm telling you,
10:31 we already had it in a couple of people's house
10:32 and they were like, "What is that?"
10:34 And I said, "Stove top lasagna."
10:35 Yeah! What's those recipes?
10:37 Now of course, you know, some of my friends
10:39 that are not "vegans"
10:41 which means they had no milk, no eggs, no dairy.
10:44 I take that word vegan out
10:45 'cause that gets them all worked up.
10:47 So I just say stove top, you know, a skillet,
10:49 you know, lasagna okay.
10:50 And then they eat it and everything
10:52 and they're always like, "Girl, that was really good,
10:53 you know and how there's cheese and everything up in there."
10:56 And I just started laughing at them.
10:58 After they swallow...
11:00 Yeah, always let them eat first.
11:01 You have to swallow first.
11:02 Don't comment to people as they are eating things.
11:04 There's still food in their mouth.
11:05 Always wait till they eat. Yeah, that's too soon.
11:07 And then they ask you for a recipe
11:08 and then they look at the recipe and say,
11:10 "Hey, wait a minute.
11:11 What is that?"
11:12 Timing is critical.
11:14 Very much so. Yes, it is.
11:15 All right, so with that we're going to put it on
11:16 and we're going to put our ground beef in.
11:18 Okay, like I said before there is different...
11:19 that's mock ground beef in grocery store.
11:22 There's many brands out there.
11:24 So we usually wanted a mock ground beef.
11:26 One of the brands and I'm going to...
11:28 let me just get all the goodies out
11:29 'cause you know...
11:31 All right.
11:32 Matter of fact, we have a...
11:33 somebody calls on the phone one day and she said,
11:35 her daughter is about seven years old,
11:36 and every time this show comes on, "Abundant Living",
11:39 What she does is she runs and grabs
11:40 all her mother's appliances and stuff,
11:42 and she goes in the kitchen
11:43 and she says she copies exactly like me,
11:46 "All the goodies out, " everything.
11:48 I think she says, she has the hand on the hip
11:50 and got that head moving and everything
11:52 and by now she's probably in college by now
11:54 'cause that's sometime ago.
11:56 Probably so. Yeah, probably so.
11:57 And, Curtis, what I want you to do is to go ahead
11:59 and start mashing up that tofu for us with the fork.
12:01 Okay, all right.
12:02 And then you're going to be adding to that...
12:03 you're going to be adding up the ingredients
12:05 I have right in front of you, okay?
12:06 Now this is what?
12:08 Firm extra firm?
12:09 This is extra firm. Extra firm, okay.
12:11 Okay.
12:13 We're using a silken.
12:15 It's silken because we have that creamy look to it.
12:18 So this is the Mori-nu tofu that comes in a box?
12:21 Right, right. And they're also...
12:22 Now they actually have a 16 ounce
12:24 silken soft also
12:26 just look in there, you know, and do that.
12:28 Look in and get that together.
12:29 Now the reason why I also like this recipe
12:31 is because, guess what?
12:32 You do it on top of the stove in a skillet.
12:35 So it's done in a skillet.
12:37 It's very, very easy.
12:38 My first question is, how's it going to bake
12:40 through-and-through on top of the stove.
12:42 I mean, you know,
12:44 I guess you'll tell us as we walk through this.
12:46 You wait till you see the finished product.
12:48 You just wait. You just wait.
12:49 You just wait.
12:50 Okay, now this only takes a few minutes
12:52 'cause actually it's already done
12:53 and basically most of your frozen entree, like
12:56 let's say your beef crumbles or chicken crumbles.
12:57 They'll tell you just about two or three minutes
12:59 to make sure that they do get hot.
13:01 But because it's going to cook on a stove
13:02 it's going to do its thing.
13:04 So I'm going to go ahead and begin to add in
13:06 my spaghetti sauce.
13:09 And Curtis, if you will...
13:11 Okay, and is that mild or just...
13:13 Just any spaghetti, chunky or any kind of spaghetti sauce.
13:16 Whatever your favorite spaghetti sauces are
13:17 is what you use.
13:19 You can use the one with vegetables in it,
13:20 you can use the plain one,
13:21 you can use the ones with mushrooms in it.
13:23 Whatever your favorite sauce is, okay?
13:25 `I think ours is vegetable garden
13:26 or vegetable something like that.
13:28 Yeah, it's a garden vegetable. Yeah, garden vegetable.
13:29 And now you're going to go ahead
13:31 and add in here the stuff you've got.
13:32 Okay.
13:33 Garlic powder, you got your Italian seasoning.
13:35 You got your onion powder, garlic powder,
13:36 all those that are part of that.
13:37 I'm gonna now go ahead and put in my water.
13:41 So it's three and three-fourth cups of water.
13:42 All this is needed because...
13:44 Chicken style, honey? Yeah.
13:45 In? Okay. Yeah, that goes in there.
13:48 Now all this goes in here.
13:49 I'll just go ahead and change this out.
13:56 All this goes in
13:57 because we've got to put the noodles in.
13:58 The noodles are gonna have to cook
14:00 in the actual sauce itself.
14:04 So I'm going to want you to mix all that together, all right?
14:07 And you go ahead and put the parsley in here too.
14:08 Parsley in here too, okay.
14:10 All right, I'm going to go ahead
14:11 and put my Italian seasoning
14:12 and this is what helps to get an Italian dressing.
14:14 This is also what helps to give that flavor...
14:15 When do we put the... What's this...garlic?
14:18 That's with me, that's me. Oh, that's yours, okay.
14:19 All right, I'm going to put that in.
14:21 And we're going to go ahead and put in the garlic.
14:25 Now this takes the place of cottage cheese then, right?
14:28 Yep, that's taken the place of cottage cheese.
14:29 Okay.
14:31 Okay, so we got that garlic and onion.
14:34 So this is a cholesterol-free dish.
14:36 Absolutely. Absolutely.
14:37 Absolutely.
14:39 Now this is the part I like.
14:40 Now on a recipe, they ask for cottage cheese
14:44 and they ask for that to go in and I kept saying,
14:45 "What are we going to use
14:47 in the place of cottage cheese?"
14:48 So then, I said, "Wait a minute.
14:49 We can actually use the actual silken tofu."
14:52 So we're going to begin to put in
14:54 to the recipe the tofu.
14:58 Okay.
15:00 All right, remember now,
15:01 this is everything that's usually in the lasagna.
15:02 Right.
15:04 All right, you got the cottage cheese in there...
15:05 So you've got that
15:07 so you don't have the cholesterol,
15:08 you don't have the saturated fat.
15:09 That's right, that's right.
15:11 And the tofu is bland,
15:12 it has no taste so that's a good thing.
15:14 It picks up all the flavors
15:15 of the onion powder and garlic powder.
15:17 And how many times has a person actually made lasagna
15:20 and discovered that the three-tier layered lasagna
15:22 became one big mush.
15:24 'Cause there's tiers that did not stay
15:25 like they were supposed to.
15:27 Oh, yeah, it didn't stay up.
15:28 So what difference does it make the way it goes in?
15:29 As long as all the things that are supposed to be in there,
15:31 is actually in there, right?
15:32 Okay. All right, so here we go.
15:34 So we're going to put that in.
15:35 I'm going to get finished with the rest of this.
15:40 And we got to get all the goodies out.
15:42 Another whole wheat...
15:44 And I'm gonna say something about the whole wheat
15:45 but let me quickly put this in.
15:47 Okay.
15:48 And you can see that you've got to bring it to a boil
15:50 but I'm going to turn this down a little bit, okay?
15:52 Can you put that away for me?
15:54 And let me just go ahead and turn this down, all right.
15:57 Now I just take
15:59 and push them down a little bit.
16:01 Oh, I see.
16:02 Now on a recipe it called for regular noodles, right,
16:05 regular enriched noodles?
16:07 Well, I didn't want to use regular enriched noodles
16:09 so what I did was I got the whole wheat noodles
16:11 and in order to do the whole wheat noodles
16:13 because on your regular noodles,
16:15 they don't automatically...
16:16 they actually call it stove top or regular oven ready noodles
16:20 and enriched noodles.
16:21 So that means it only takes about
16:23 15 minutes for me to get it done.
16:24 Well, that's not going to happen
16:25 when you do your pasta noodles.
16:27 It takes a little bit longer.
16:28 So I actually cook my pasta noodles.
16:29 I want you to notice that I have my little squares
16:31 'cause it really...
16:32 and should you have to make little squares out of them
16:34 because you can't put the whole thing in there.
16:36 So all we're going to do is just actually
16:37 drop in the noodles.
16:40 Just put them on there... Oh, so whole wheat...
16:42 Okay, so when I get the whole noodle, yeah,
16:44 I get the whole noodle and I break into four pieces.
16:45 You just drop it and break it into four pieces
16:47 and just put them right there.
16:49 And it takes eight of them to actually make this dish up.
16:52 Eight fours is 32 so 32 noodles all together.
16:55 Mm-hm.
16:56 Okay, because we've got to get it done
16:58 and it's not going to get done if we do it this way
17:00 so all I'm going to do is just push them down.
17:01 So the noodles are already cooked?
17:04 Yes, for whole wheat, yes they're already cooked.
17:06 First and then you put them in there.
17:08 Then you put in you get them...
17:09 Then let them finish cooking up.
17:10 Right. Okay.
17:12 And I say al dente because we don't do the whole time
17:13 that the noodles are supposed to cook.
17:15 So therefore, you're just going to get them a little bit
17:17 to the point where they're actually...
17:18 In al dente means if a noodle takes about,
17:20 let's say, 12 minutes to get done.
17:22 Then you're going to go to about maybe eight,
17:24 and by that time...
17:25 Yeah, see that's a term I didn't know
17:26 growing up in Cleveland, al de... al dente?
17:28 What's that, al dente?
17:30 This means they're not completely cooked all the way.
17:31 Oh, okay.
17:33 I didn't use that word when I was growing up.
17:35 I understand, I understand.
17:36 Yeah, in the playground we didn't never said al dente.
17:38 So you see what we're doing?
17:39 We're actually just taking the noodles
17:40 and we're pushing them down inside
17:42 of the actual pan itself, okay?
17:44 Now... Okay, uh-huh.
17:46 Now is this one whole box or just eight?
17:48 No, no, no, eight noodles and cut into fours,
17:52 which gives you 32 noodles altogether.
17:54 And you're going to use a large skillet.
17:56 As you can see my skillet is large
17:57 or it's got to be a deep skillet
17:59 because you've got to be able to get in the noodles
18:00 into the recipe itself, okay?
18:02 Yeah, so now, when this is finished,
18:05 you're not going to have that
18:06 stand of three layer or tiers...
18:09 No, no, no, because it's actually called stove top.
18:11 Stove top.
18:13 But you don't have to turn the oven on
18:14 and you're still getting the same lasagna.
18:16 And you're saving electricity. And you're saving electricity.
18:17 Yes, you are. Yup, yup.
18:19 Now I'm going to finish these up
18:21 and all you do is just make a space
18:22 for the noodles to go down, all right?
18:24 So we've going to make sure they're covered so they can...
18:26 Noodles have to be completely covered, all right?
18:27 Okay.
18:29 And like I said before, this recipe is knocked down,
18:34 drag out delicious.
18:36 Okay, for those who may not be
18:37 familiar with that type of language,
18:39 what she means is, this recipe is scrumptious,
18:42 it is good.
18:44 For interpretation, just saying.
18:46 Okay, just saying, just saying, so let me tell you,
18:50 now I'm going to put the lid on
18:51 because you noticed that we talked about the cheese.
18:53 I'm going to mention that in the hot second
18:54 but we're going to put a lid on
18:57 and it goes for, like, 30 minutes.
18:59 It actually cooks on top of the stove for 30 minutes.
19:01 Wait a minute. Just 30 minutes?
19:03 You can get your salad ready, you can get your garlic bread
19:04 and stuff together.
19:05 You can get whatever you're going to have.
19:07 You can have your broccoli or your...
19:08 whatever your green vegetables, string beans.
19:10 You can have all that.
19:11 You can work on all that while the lasagna is getting ready.
19:13 So within 30 minutes, after you set your table,
19:16 this dish is ready to go.
19:17 Yeah.
19:19 Yeah, okay.
19:20 Now...
19:21 So now when do we put the cheese?
19:23 Now that's why the cheese is still here.
19:24 Okay.
19:26 Cheese does not go in till you get done.
19:27 Once the 30 minutes is up,
19:28 then you sprinkle your cheese on top,
19:30 and then you put the lid back on it
19:31 and it goes for about five minutes
19:32 and the cheese will melt on top of it.
19:34 And you will see this at the end of the program.
19:36 You will see what it looks like,
19:38 when we talk about melting cheese on top,
19:40 and I know you'll say, daiya, what is that?
19:42 There's all kind of cheeses on a market
19:44 that you can actually use now.
19:45 And daiya is a new one out in the market.
19:48 It's done with the tapioca.
19:50 You know tapioca, we used for tapioca pudding.
19:52 It's done with a tapioca
19:53 and that's what actually gives it the texture
19:55 and the melting it needs to have
19:57 rather than some of your other cheeses
19:58 that people talk about, all right?
20:00 So now this is not soy bases, it's not dairy based.
20:04 No, it's non-dairy. Non-dairy.
20:06 Non-dairy. Non-soy.
20:07 Right. But...
20:08 What does it look like? Yes, I mean...
20:10 It looks like regular cheddar cheese.
20:11 And it has a nice mouthfeel to it.
20:13 It has a wonderful mouthfeel.
20:15 Somebody asked me a question, one time, about, you know,
20:17 what about the pizzas I'm used to.
20:19 You know about my mac and cheese, okay.
20:21 Well, believe it or not,
20:22 those are the things that you can actually use.
20:24 Look around the market,
20:25 and test out some of the new things
20:26 on the market and try them out.
20:28 And you will see
20:29 that they really will work for you as well, all right?
20:30 Okay.
20:32 So that is our lasagna on top of the stove.
20:34 Lasagna on top of the stove.
20:35 All right. On top of the stove, okay.
20:37 And so we're now going to go to another one of my favorites
20:39 which is the Sauteed Kale Greens.
20:42 Okay.
20:44 It calls for two tablespoons of olive oil.
20:46 One-half medium onion, cut into strips.
20:49 One-half medium red pepper, cut into strips.
20:51 One-half medium yellow pepper, cut into strips.
20:55 One bunch of organic kale greens and salt to taste.
21:01 Now this is a really good recipe.
21:03 Okay.
21:04 You've been hearing a lot of stuff about kale.
21:05 People have been doing kale and they're going kale crazy.
21:08 Kale crazy.
21:09 You put kale in smoothies and kale in your salad...
21:11 Part of the green drinks, huh?
21:13 Yeah, part of the green drinks, but Kale's got some real good,
21:15 I mean, there's no properties to it.
21:17 It is actually a part of the cruciferous group.
21:19 Which is cruciferous is the cabbage family.
21:22 Like in the cabbage family you've got brussel sprouts
21:24 and kale in collard greens, and cauliflower,
21:26 all those are part of that kingdom.
21:28 These are all cancer preventers,
21:29 but this skillet, skillet Kale is different.
21:32 On the stove.
21:34 Yeah, yeah, once again on top of the stove.
21:35 Okay.
21:36 'Cause usually when you cook the kale
21:38 you usually cook it in a pot on a stove
21:39 if it is a long time.
21:40 Yeah, there's a lot of water and all that.
21:42 Once again, once again, once again
21:43 we're going to do it in a different way, so...
21:44 I see no water up here.
21:46 There's no water, there's no water.
21:47 We're going to turn this on, and start getting it ready
21:49 and it's actually going to take in that.
21:51 We're going to put our olive oil in.
21:53 Okay.
21:54 And let it get going.
21:55 All right.
21:57 This is one dish, a lot of people
21:59 may not like kale that much,
22:01 when it come to the food
22:03 cruciferous or brassica's family.
22:05 Sometimes it's called in the medical journals,
22:07 Brassica,
22:08 but it has a lot of medicinal properties.
22:10 My wife has said, chemo preventive.
22:14 So that's lot of the good properties for that.
22:15 Now what you gonna do while we're getting ready,
22:17 I would like for you to go ahead and start cutting those
22:19 peppers up for me.
22:20 Okay.
22:22 When I buy that kale
22:24 it actually comes in a large leaf,
22:26 and in order for you to be able to use it
22:28 in this particular recipe,
22:29 it's got a cord on it,
22:30 and you're gonna take that actual long stem,
22:32 what we call the quill out of it,
22:34 and so that it is in small bite-sized pieces
22:36 that's what you actually want on that, okay?
22:37 Okay.
22:39 So I'm gonna help you with that with my other knife there.
22:42 Oh, we got the yellow and we got the green.
22:44 All these are going at the same time
22:46 and also the onions
22:48 are going to go in there also as well, okay?
22:51 And this gives it color.
22:52 That's the reason I like to use the different colors in here.
22:54 You want all of these, honey?
22:56 Uh-huh, I want all of them and then we'll move these over.
22:58 Yup, okay.
23:00 I'm sorry, we eat with our eyes.
23:01 We eat with our eyes and this actually
23:03 is just as beautiful in this picture, you know?
23:05 We do the onions.
23:06 We're gonna slice the onions up in this way, okay?
23:11 And you're beautiful in this camera.
23:12 Thank you.
23:13 No, thank you.
23:15 Okay,
23:17 let's make sure we don't have any crazy ones up in there.
23:21 Undesirables.
23:22 Undesirables, okay.
23:24 Go ahead and do the rest of that for me.
23:25 And I'll go ahead and start putting that in.
23:27 Our olive oil is ready to go.
23:28 Okay.
23:30 Alrighty
23:31 and we're just going to go ahead and put them in.
23:35 I hear the sizzling.
23:36 Hear that sizzling, hear sizzling
23:39 and one the thing about this, you want to be a little careful
23:41 'cause you don't want them to get done way before
23:44 the actual kale gets done.
23:45 So we're kind of put them on a bottom
23:48 'cause we're actually sauteing or caramelizing them,
23:50 as they would say.
23:52 With a little bit more final.
23:53 And go ahead and give me those, just the onions.
23:56 All right.
23:58 Okay, and put that in.
23:59 This will give that flavor as well, all right?
24:02 Okay.
24:04 Now right now is when I'm going to actually go ahead on
24:07 and begin to put in the actual kale.
24:11 We already cut it up into bite-sized pieces remember now.
24:14 Got rid of main stock on it
24:16 and we're just going to put them in
24:17 because the water content of the kale
24:21 is actually going to shrink as it cooks, all right?
24:25 Now is this frozen or fresh?
24:28 Fresh. Fresh kale.
24:29 Fresh organic kale.
24:31 Okay. Okay.
24:32 So we got that going.
24:34 I usually put a lid on for a few minutes.
24:39 Okay?
24:41 And then a little bit...
24:42 What I'm going to do is I'm going to take my spatula...
24:44 And we still add the salt but that's later?
24:45 At the end. Oh, okay.
24:46 At the end we're going to use salt, okay?
24:48 And so this is really good
24:49 because, I mean, once you put the lid on it
24:51 and let it sit for a while
24:52 you're going to actually bring up
24:53 the onions and the peppers and everything on top of it.
24:56 So the name of the game is we going to,
24:57 you know, look and see because once you get started
24:59 believe it or not, because there's so much water
25:01 in the actual kale itself
25:03 that it begins to shrink right there.
25:05 Now tell me something,
25:06 how do people normally cook kale?
25:08 I mean how is it normally done?
25:09 Usually in water, they usually do it in water, a lot of water.
25:11 They do collard greens the same way,
25:12 mustard sprouts the same way...
25:14 With a lot of water...
25:15 A lot of water and cook it on top of the stove
25:16 till it gets tender.
25:18 Okay. But normally not sauteing.
25:19 This is sauteing...
25:20 So you're using kale's own natural water
25:22 that's already in the kale?
25:23 Right, right. Okay, no additional water?
25:25 No, additional water, okay?
25:26 Okay, so let's see what happens
25:27 when we pull it up and you can see.
25:29 Yeah!
25:30 There's already liquid there, okay?
25:31 I'm gonna set this right here for a minute.
25:33 It's already cooked down. It's already cooking down...
25:35 So now we're just gonna turn it.
25:36 And now we're just going to green up the color.
25:38 Oh, I see.
25:41 Hmm, it has a nice color to it.
25:45 Okay.
25:47 Okay, and you're going to cook this till tender,
25:48 it takes about 30 minutes.
25:50 Okay.
25:51 Now only on the stove when people are cooking kale
25:52 it takes longer, all right?
25:55 So now this is a 3ABN stove top
25:58 and little bit faster than 30 minutes.
25:59 This is a stove top, stove top, stove top...
26:02 So 30 minutes has just expired.
26:03 Yeah, you know, we had already did our lasagna.
26:05 And so now once again
26:07 this can be also an addition to the lasagna
26:09 that you're going to have that day.
26:11 You can actually do your kale green...
26:12 That's right 'cause lasagna's probably just about ready.
26:14 Yes, yes. And you're doing this too.
26:15 You can go ahead and get your greens ready,
26:17 get your salad ready, you know.
26:18 Isn't that pretty?
26:20 Okay, as it keeps down...
26:21 I'm gonna tell you something else too
26:22 I like about it is that it keeps
26:24 that dark, dark, dark green color.
26:25 It does. The color is still there, yes.
26:26 Okay, so I'm gonna put that.
26:28 Okay. I'm gonna put the lid back on.
26:29 Remember now, we're not going to...
26:30 Now, that been what 15-30 minutes or what?
26:33 Yeah, about 15 minutes or so right now.
26:35 Okay.
26:36 And then once you turn it over. Turn it over.
26:38 And then you're going to let it go
26:39 another 15 minutes, so, you know, you can check it.
26:40 You know, you can always just take and put a fork in there,
26:43 and test it to see if it's tender.
26:45 And let it go a little bit longer.
26:46 You want to make sure that you don't have your fire real high.
26:48 I started off with a medium fire
26:50 and I moved it down to a simmer and let it simmer.
26:52 Now don't add the salt until it's all finished, okay?
26:56 Now why salt at the end
26:58 as supposed to in the beginning?
26:59 What's the reason? There's no reason.
27:01 Well, I don't put salt on my first oily thing anyway.
27:03 I mean 'cause salt kind of keeps something from getting...
27:05 it's, like, it keeps it tough.
27:07 It doesn't allow this opportunity to get tender.
27:09 Okay. So salt toughens up everything.
27:10 It toughens up your beans, it toughens up your rice,
27:12 so I never add the salt in the recipe.
27:15 'Cause a lot of people do that before...
27:16 Right, it takes longer to cook.
27:18 And so you think I can get as smart
27:20 as you as far as cooking is concerned?
27:21 Do you think that's possible?
27:22 We'll have to see.
27:24 I mean, you know, you're coming along pretty well.
27:25 I'm coming along pretty well?
27:26 Mm-hm, as we go to the very next recipe.
27:28 How about that? Okay, let's do that.
27:29 All right, let's do that.
27:32 All right, we're making Skillet Shepherd Pie.
27:34 One 15 ounce can of kidney beans, drained.
27:38 One cup of mock beef crumbles.
27:40 One 16 ounce jar of thick and chunky salsa.
27:44 One cup of whole kernel corn.
27:46 One medium carrot, shredded.
27:48 Two cups of warm mashed potatoes.
27:51 Three tablespoons of soy parmesan cheese
27:54 and your chopped parsley.
27:57 Now, I like this particular recipe
28:00 because this shepherd's pie
28:02 normally when it's made is actually baked in the oven.
28:05 Oh, in the oven?
28:06 So again this is a new form of cooking for a lot of people.
28:10 Quick cooking once again.
28:12 Saving the electricity.
28:13 And using all the ingredients that usually goes in there.
28:15 Okay, now, why is it called shepherd's pie?
28:20 I mean why not mechanic's pie or...
28:24 Okay, it's called a shepherd's pie
28:26 because back in the day, from what I understand,
28:27 but don't quote me.
28:29 From what you understand.
28:30 That all the leftovers that was leftover,
28:32 you know in a field, like when a head crop
28:35 and stuff is left over, they had corn,
28:37 they had carrots, they had all these kind of stuff,
28:39 beans and they were putting it together
28:41 in a casserole dish.
28:42 Oh, okay.
28:44 With some kind of ground beef or something like that.
28:45 Okay.
28:47 And then they would put mashed potatoes on top of it, and...
28:49 So this is like leftovers
28:50 and just put some mashed potatoes on top
28:52 in this all one dish?
28:53 Mm-hm, one dish.
28:55 Okay, so now we're going do this on top of the stove.
28:58 On top of the stove
28:59 because if you put it in the oven
29:00 it's gonna take longer.
29:02 But we're going to put it on top of the stove
29:03 it's going to take just a few minutes
29:04 not as long as before.
29:06 Oh, so you save money and you save time.
29:07 Yes. Okay.
29:08 Yes, and then on top of that I've made some changes
29:10 as you know already in a shepherd's pie
29:12 we're actually going to be using a mock ground beef,
29:14 plant base.
29:16 And it looks just like regular ground beef.
29:17 We're going to use that instead of regular beef.
29:19 Okay.
29:20 And then we're also going to be using...
29:21 they usually have sauce, tomato sauce
29:23 or stewed tomatoes.
29:24 I'm going to be using salsa.
29:25 And salsa makes it have more of a twang to it.
29:28 It add a little spice to it.
29:29 Yeah, a little spice can just change it a little bit.
29:30 Just a little kick.
29:32 Is this, like, mild or?
29:33 It's just a mild, it's a mild salsa I'm using.
29:36 And then I got my regular...
29:38 Of course the kidney or the pinto beans
29:39 are always a part of that staple.
29:41 So is the corn and so is the carrots.
29:43 So you can use kidney or pinto. I mean, it doesn't matter.
29:45 Anyone but, I mean, for this recipe
29:46 because I'm trying to assimilate that
29:48 of what they used to that I'm using the actual red pinto.
29:52 Oh, okay.
29:53 Am I using a red Pinto?
29:55 I don't know, why you asked me that question
29:56 we're using red kidney.
29:58 Red kidney. You got it together.
29:59 Red kidney. Okay.
30:00 Okay, so I'm going to once again
30:02 go ahead and turn on the stove and this one,
30:04 believe it or not, I'm not using...
30:07 I'm not using any oil.
30:08 Yeah, I noticed that...so
30:10 The salsa is going to be on the old burner, on that one.
30:11 Oh, the salsa okay.
30:13 Okay?
30:14 So what we're going to do is I'm going to go ahead on...
30:15 I want to put the beef in first and of course once again
30:19 because of the fact that it's not real beef,
30:21 you know, we're just putting it in there
30:23 because it is a part of the recipe
30:24 but it's already pre-cooked.
30:25 Okay.
30:27 And then once again, once it cooks,
30:28 that which is not done we'll, continue on in here as well.
30:30 Now is just a frozen... there's many...
30:32 Once again...
30:33 Products, different types of non-ground beef,
30:35 this is a frozen...
30:36 I mean, when we first came on 3ABN,
30:38 oh, okay that was quite a while back.
30:40 Quite sometime.
30:41 Anyway, anyway, you know, that time all they had was TVP,
30:43 Textured Vegetable Protein. That's true.
30:45 And we would actually take it like little granules.
30:48 We add hot water to it,
30:49 and it would swell up and look like ground beef.
30:51 Well, now they've got so many companies
30:53 that have come out with ground beefs
30:54 looking like ground beef, already frozen
30:57 and they actually have less sodium,
30:59 they have no cholesterols, okay?
31:01 Some of them have really small amount of saturated fat,
31:04 all right?
31:05 And so therefore,
31:07 they are the more preferred
31:08 ones that people are using now, okay?
31:10 Already come in granular just like...
31:12 Already come, ready to go.
31:14 Some are frozen almost all frozen.
31:16 All them are frozen.
31:17 They have a mock beef, they've got chicken strips,
31:20 they've got beef strips,
31:21 all those are now on the market, okay?
31:23 In regular grocery stores?
31:24 In regular grocery stores, frozen food section
31:26 is where you will actually find this, once again.
31:28 So I'm not really into trying to get all the beef ground up.
31:31 I'm going to go ahead and put in my salsa.
31:33 So the salsa helps cook that thing?
31:35 Yes, that helps cook it up.
31:37 And if you would, I'm going to...
31:39 when I get this down and get all the goodies,
31:41 all the goodies, everything is important
31:43 and we're not going to leave anybody out, okay?
31:47 And then I'm going to go ahead and put in the beans.
31:53 This is also another very pretty dish.
31:55 And then, Curtis, I want you...
31:56 I'm going to go ahead and stir this around
31:59 and I want you to go ahead on it,
32:00 and put in it for me the actual corn.
32:03 The actual corn, okay.
32:04 Put the corn in.
32:06 Now this fresh, frozen doesn't really matter
32:09 or what's your preference...
32:11 No, whatever they're going to be using,
32:12 once again leftovers that makes this up, okay?
32:15 All right.
32:16 All right and then we going to put in...
32:18 Go ahead and put the carrots in.
32:19 Okay. Shredded carrots, okay?
32:21 Get the goodies out, okay?
32:24 And then we're just going to stir it all up.
32:27 And you can see...
32:28 And, you know, I've seen this also with green peppers in it,
32:32 you know, it's actually any kind of leftovers
32:34 that you have.
32:35 And because of the fact that beans are already done
32:38 and the salsa is already done,
32:40 it does not take a long time for this one to go, okay?
32:44 But it is a very pretty dish.
32:46 It's a very pretty dish. Mm-hm, very colorful.
32:48 You can see it's very, very colorful.
32:49 You know let's say, for instance,
32:51 if you want to do... I want to put the lid on.
32:52 Okay.
32:54 Let's say for instance if you have green peas, okay?
32:55 Or you might have string beans.
32:57 But anything that's a vegetable or...and you can put in here,
33:01 and this actually is kind of warming it up.
33:03 Now what you do not see is,
33:05 you don't see the mashed potatoes that I have
33:06 on it because first of all this has to go here on it and cook
33:09 and it takes about maybe 20-30 minutes.
33:11 And in the meanwhile, I'm making up my potatoes.
33:12 Then you know how to make mashed potatoes,
33:14 all you do is taking your potatoes and boiling them.
33:16 You mash it with your masher, your potato masher
33:18 and you're going to add
33:20 a little bit of margarine and milk to it.
33:21 And voila!
33:22 You have your mashed potatoes,
33:24 which is what's going to go on top of this.
33:25 But instead, Curtis, where normally in a baked one,
33:29 you actually spread the mashed potatoes
33:32 all across it to give it like a crust.
33:34 On first. Right.
33:35 Okay.
33:36 No, after you get down with this, you're going to,
33:38 you know, put your mashed potatoes
33:39 on top of it, all right?
33:41 Oh, okay.
33:42 And then you're going to sprinkle on your cheese.
33:43 Well, because I like the way this works out.
33:45 We're going to actually be doing it
33:46 and you'll see at the end
33:47 after I made my mashed potatoes up,
33:49 we're going to put scoops of mashed potatoes
33:50 on top of this and we're going to sprinkle on it the cheese.
33:53 Something a little bit different
33:55 and so instead of having the whole covering...
33:56 A little better presentation. Yes.
33:58 The first one was good but it's just that,
33:59 you know, I'm always trying to do things
34:01 a little bit different.
34:02 The Scoop, the scoop...
34:04 Something a little bit different, okay?
34:05 Mm-hm, okay.
34:06 So you get a chance to see at the end of the program
34:08 as you're already seeing now, it is now heating up.
34:10 And once it gets done and I would say anywhere
34:13 between 15-20 minutes is what we need
34:16 then we're going to add on the mashed potatoes
34:19 in a scoop, ice cream scoop.
34:21 And we're going to sprinkle on our soy cheese as well.
34:23 Mmm.
34:25 So once again is that a quick one or not?
34:26 Oh, yeah it's quick. On top of the stove skillet.
34:28 Shepherd's pie skillet. Shepherd's pie, absolutely.
34:31 On top of the stove. On top of the stove.
34:32 'Cause this is normally in the oven.
34:34 This just usually goes in the oven.
34:35 And if it is in the oven, it can go anywhere from,
34:36 I would say anywhere from, let's say 40 minutes,
34:39 40-45 minutes to cook inside the oven.
34:42 Not to mention you turn the stove on.
34:43 But listen, my friends keep saying,
34:45 "I want to eat healthy, Paula,
34:47 but you've got too many recipes.
34:48 It takes too long to cook."
34:50 So this recipe is dedicated to all my friends.
34:53 They keep saying they need something quick and fast
34:55 but healthy.
34:56 And save on your utility bills.
34:59 Save on our utility bills as well.
35:01 'Cause you're not turning on the oven.
35:02 Yes, and next one we're going to be using,
35:04 the next recipe is knock-down-drag-out.
35:06 knock-down-drag-out.
35:08 What we're going to be making next is Chicken Fajitas.
35:11 Chicken Fajitas.
35:12 One carton of mock chicken strips.
35:14 Two tablespoons of olive oil.
35:16 Two garlic cloves, chopped.
35:18 One medium onion, sliced.
35:20 One green pepper, sliced.
35:22 One red pepper, sliced
35:23 and four whole wheat tortilla shells, soft.
35:27 And we're going to have one cup of your favorite salsa.
35:30 Four tablespoons of soy sour cream
35:33 and one tablespoon of chives.
35:37 Now, this recipe is another quickie.
35:39 We're talking about trying new recipes
35:41 that you can do on top of the stove.
35:42 On top of the stove.
35:43 I mean who does not like Fajitas, okay?
35:46 I do.
35:47 I know, I know, I know,
35:49 and it's a quick and easy one once again.
35:50 Yes, it is.
35:51 It calls for very simple recipes
35:53 and once again, for this type of recipe,
35:55 really and truly you can precut up all your
35:57 bell peppers, your onions, and everything
35:59 and have them already ready to go.
36:01 And for this particular one what I did also...
36:03 well, this is a mock,
36:05 I'm using mock chicken strips once again.
36:07 Okay, now let's talk about this now,
36:08 of course there are many brands of mock chicken strips.
36:12 Yes, use your one particular brand.
36:13 Yes. This was a frozen version.
36:14 A frozen version.
36:16 They got them out there once again
36:17 they got mock chicken strips,
36:19 they got mock beef strips.
36:20 All those are out there on the market now.
36:21 They come frozen, they're lower in sodium.
36:24 They have no cholesterol whatsoever.
36:26 And basically, this is actually made from soy.
36:28 Right, soy base. Soy shreds right.
36:31 And so it's very, very good and I've already precooked it.
36:34 It only takes a few minutes but I already pre-cooked it.
36:36 So what you're going do is
36:38 you going to go ahead on and start getting...
36:39 Does it come already seasoned?
36:41 Now some of it comes with it's own seasoning.
36:43 Mm-hm. But this one is just...
36:44 All I did was just brown it a little bit of olive oil.
36:46 So it does come with a seasoning.
36:48 They have different flavorings like a teriyaki
36:50 or you might have a sweet and sour.
36:52 They actually come in their own packages
36:54 inside of the frozen item also as well,
36:56 that you put on when you get done.
36:58 Now you can get this again at your regular grocery store.
37:00 Regular grocery store.
37:01 You don't have to know
37:03 where to go to a health-food store for this.
37:04 In a frozen fruit section, frozen food section, all right?
37:06 Okay.
37:07 And so we have a lot of fun in Huntsville
37:09 'cause we have a lot of really good stores
37:10 that have come to Huntsville.
37:11 That's right.
37:13 So we're excited, you know,
37:14 to be able to have more variety available to us
37:17 than we've ever had before.
37:19 So what you're going to do is you go ahead
37:20 and get the onions ready for me.
37:21 I'm going to go ahead and turn the stove on
37:23 so I can get the olive oil going.
37:25 I'm going to warm that olive oil up
37:28 and we're going to begin to add to it.
37:29 This is another fast and quick recipe.
37:31 I want to go ahead and put in my olive oil.
37:34 Two tablespoons of olive oil is going in, all right?
37:38 I guess people are wondering, well, why not use chicken?
37:43 I mean, you know, sometimes you can take that for granted
37:46 that people know that chicken is not
37:49 one of the best foods to eat
37:51 'cause lot of hormones in there
37:53 and of course you've the cholesterol, saturated fat.
37:56 And so you have a lot of things along with the chicken
37:58 that is not really that beneficial for health.
38:01 And that's the main idea. So, yeah.
38:03 Not to mention...
38:04 And all diseases, Campylobacter or salmonella,
38:07 E.coli and so a lot of those things are in recall
38:10 just about every month or week.
38:12 Yeah.
38:13 Voluntary recall,
38:15 so that's why we want to go from a plant-based type
38:18 than a chicken itself
38:19 because you don't the cholesterol, saturated fat,
38:21 the E.coli, salmonella, etcetera, etcetera.
38:24 Well, that's the name of the game,
38:25 I mean, a lot of times we meet
38:27 because in our health lectures we talk...
38:28 we meet people who have a problem with high cholesterol
38:30 or sodium levels are very, very high,
38:32 might have had their first heart attack
38:34 or their first stroke
38:35 and they're trying to find something
38:36 that they can switch over to
38:38 and so that's what our whole ministry is about.
38:40 It is actually not taking away the superfood.
38:42 And by superfood, I mean by foods that people
38:44 are used to eating.
38:45 Not taking away their super food
38:46 but trying to adapt them to a lifestyle
38:49 of a more healthier version of the food.
38:52 Just want to give them something better.
38:53 Something better. This is something better.
38:55 Main thing is something better. This is something better.
38:56 So speaking of something better,
38:58 we're going to go ahead and put those onions in there
38:59 'cause we're talking something better.
39:00 All right, that'll do. Good job boiling.
39:02 That's fine. All right.
39:03 Okay, go ahead and put those peppers in now.
39:04 Till you put the peppers in...
39:06 These right here?
39:07 Yeah, I know, it needs to be chopped.
39:09 No, no I want to use these.
39:10 Oh, these. Oh, okay.
39:11 We're going to go ahead and do the peppers.
39:13 All this is going to be sauteed at the exact same time.
39:15 Once again, the name of the game
39:16 when it comes to cooking,
39:18 when it comes to food and what people see,
39:20 is actually all about the color.
39:22 Look at the color.
39:23 How beautiful this actually looks.
39:24 I'm going to go ahead and add a mock chicken to it.
39:26 Okay.
39:27 It has a very good color to it
39:29 and not to mention that in your yellow,
39:31 your red and your orange peppers,
39:34 you actually have a high amount of vitamin C.
39:36 That's right.
39:38 And so this is a part
39:39 in which it's quick and easy and it's colorful.
39:42 So you know don't negate using the orange
39:44 you can use your orange one.
39:46 Orange pepper, you can use the yellow pepper,
39:48 you can just make it really, really fancy
39:50 and very, very pretty, okay?
39:51 And now we're going to add in our strips, chicken strips.
39:56 This is a good mouthfeel, a good texture to it as well.
39:59 It is, it is, Curtis.
40:00 'Cause you used that for not just the heaters but,
40:02 I mean you should know,
40:03 how you can use that other than for heaters.
40:05 Well, believe it or not, I have also...
40:06 I put this in a salad.
40:07 You can, you know, if you have a recipe
40:09 that calls for chicken in a recipe...
40:11 Okay.
40:12 Then you can actually use that
40:14 and you can actually cut the chicken
40:15 into smaller pieces, smaller bite-sized pieces.
40:17 Don't have to be this large, okay?
40:19 So any place you'll normally use chicken,
40:21 you can use this in its place.
40:22 Right, any place that is calling
40:24 for your chicken strips, okay, chicken strips.
40:26 There are other things, that they have chicken loaves,
40:27 mock chicken loaves as well.
40:29 Now go ahead and put the garlic in here, baby?
40:30 They have chicken. Yeah.
40:32 They do I'm gonna move that in middle there.
40:34 Put that garlic in there.
40:36 I use my top for that one.
40:38 Is that everything in? Mm-hm.
40:39 Okay, oh, man.
40:41 Oh yeah, oh yeah.
40:42 Were gonna just fan this out here
40:44 so that Hannah.
40:45 Yeah, Hannah.
40:47 She can smell that. Yes, camera number three.
40:48 We're going to fan it her way.
40:50 Yes, but I'm saying...
40:51 You don't see, oh, boy, she is smiling.
40:52 Making her hungry, we're making her hungry
40:54 after she'll see it, okay?
40:56 I do see she has a napkin around her neck
40:58 and a fork in hand.
40:59 She's ready to go. She's ready to go.
41:00 All right.
41:02 All right, I just called you out.
41:04 Now and especially also these things are add-ons, okay?
41:08 And I'm going to do that in a hot second.
41:09 Okay.
41:11 Let's go ahead and take the tortilla shells out.
41:12 From this, okay. Take the shell out.
41:14 Okay, now this is whole wheat.
41:17 We don't want a good plant based diet.
41:20 Right here, we have refined tortilla shells.
41:23 So...
41:25 Right, I like the soft one and a lot of the times
41:26 when I'm making these up,
41:28 what I do is I actually go ahead and put the shell
41:30 over the top of the actual pan for a few minutes
41:33 so it actually warms right there.
41:35 We talk about quick and fast and easy,
41:37 don't want to have to go through...
41:38 That's a good trick right there, baby.
41:40 Just put it on top and it will help to heat
41:41 that tortilla shell up.
41:42 And then you're gonna just turn them over
41:44 on the other side
41:45 and the heat is actually going to make them more pliable
41:48 and we need that for us to be able to make these...
41:50 Some of those shells are a little bit too firm.
41:53 They are not as pliable.
41:55 It's really hard to work with.
41:56 Yeah, usually when I buy these, I buy soft ones.
41:57 Yeah.
41:59 Okay, all right so,
42:00 this is already nice and pliable.
42:02 And right here
42:03 and I'm going to move this one over
42:06 and we're going to go ahead on and fill up the shell.
42:11 Mm-hm.
42:14 Oh, yeah, this is going to be a good one.
42:16 Is that mine, right there, that you're making?
42:18 Yeah, this is yours. Okay, very good.
42:20 If Hannah doesn't take it from me.
42:22 Oh, no, Hannah is not going to take from me.
42:23 We are going to turn the heater off.
42:25 And what we gonna do is now, a couple of things I do,
42:27 number one, is that you can actually,
42:28 if you have a dressing,
42:30 you know a sour scream or whatever you want to use,
42:32 you can put it on the inside,
42:33 but I like to just go ahead and wrap it up
42:35 like so and then turn it over.
42:37 Oh, same side down.
42:39 Uh-huh and we got the same side down
42:40 and you could see how pliable the second one is
42:42 and so we're going to go ahead on
42:44 and put in this next one as well.
42:46 Now this makes like four, but I've already got some done,
42:49 you'll see it at the end of the show.
42:51 You can see how beautiful it is on the inside.
42:54 Now one of the things that I do also
42:56 and let's say for instance,
42:58 this might be the one thing we're gonna have that evening,
43:01 let me go ahead and fold it up like so.
43:04 Now we're gonna turn it over, same side down, all right?
43:08 And in this recipe what you will normally do...
43:11 Now you're gonna fix it up a little bit.
43:12 Is you'd take the actual salsa and put it on there.
43:16 Salsa.
43:17 You're working it out, baby.
43:20 Oh this the work right here.
43:22 So little bit there, bring it on down.
43:26 Okay. Okay.
43:27 And then we gonna take
43:29 and our other spoon here
43:32 and we gonna dab on it with soy sour cream.
43:33 Now that's the soy sour cream,
43:36 so again plant-based cholesterol-free.
43:38 Right, Right, Right.
43:39 Has a good mouthfeel for that, okay.
43:41 And then I'm gonna end it up with a little bit off
43:43 the chives on the top, okay?
43:47 And they'll see at that at the end of the show as well
43:49 but it's a really, really pretty dish
43:51 which we actually use
43:53 and with this you can serve it up with chips,
43:55 tortilla chips or baked chips.
43:56 Then on one of our shows too--
43:58 We've taken the tortilla shell
44:01 and we've cut it with a pizza cutter
44:02 and we've sprinkled on some onion or garlic powder on them.
44:07 Tiny bit of salt
44:08 and we actually bake them in the oven
44:10 and we make our own chips from that as well.
44:12 All with this alone you can actually have that.
44:13 You can take beans and rice.
44:15 Do you want to make a big one?
44:16 You take beans and rice, your black beans and your rice.
44:19 You make that up and you're gonna put it inside
44:21 the tortilla shell with the chicken
44:23 and the bell peppers.
44:25 It makes a big one serving...
44:26 Oh, so that's a big, fat, thick, juicy fajitas.
44:29 Right, right, there you go. There you go.
44:30 All right. All right.
44:31 So, you know, we've done all this on top of the stove
44:33 but you know I've got one more on top of the stove.
44:35 One more on top of the stove.
44:36 Let's look at that. All right, let's do it, honey.
44:38 Apple Raisin Pecan Burritos.
44:40 Oh, have mercy.
44:41 Two Tablespoons of soy margarine.
44:43 One-half cup of maple syrup.
44:45 Two red delicious apples, sliced into strips.
44:48 Two granny smith apples sliced into strips.
44:51 Three-fourth cup of raisins.
44:54 Three- fourth cup of pecan, pieces.
44:56 One-fourth teaspoon of cinnamon
44:58 and Four soft whole wheat tortilla shells, warmed.
45:04 Okay, we're down towards the end here
45:06 and of course you remember Curtis,
45:08 I mean, we used to do these cooking classes
45:10 and I remember when I first got started,
45:11 I did not do desserts, okay?
45:13 And people said...
45:14 Then people kept saying, they said,
45:16 "Well, how come we don't have any desserts
45:18 in any of your programs.
45:19 Where is your desserts at?
45:20 And I said, you don't need no desserts
45:22 and the whole class together said, "Yes, we do."
45:25 And so from there we began working with desserts
45:28 because, you know, desserts are a lot harder to work with
45:30 because, you know, you got to do a lot of placing.
45:33 To make them healthy, replacing, yes...
45:34 Looking good and healthy
45:35 'cause, I mean, I've had a couple of things that...
45:37 okay, I have to tell you this.
45:38 No, more than two things, several desserts.
45:40 Okay, I've had a couple of desserts and stuff
45:42 and I know a couple of times
45:43 we've gone to the health food store.
45:45 Well, you know I know you've had this experience.
45:46 I know where this is going.
45:48 You go to the health food store,
45:49 you're kinda hungry
45:50 and you'll see some oat meal cookies,
45:52 or you'll see some kind of a fruit bar out there
45:54 or, you know, it cost about three or five dollars for one.
45:57 You know, you go ahead and grab it up,
45:59 because it's healthy and then you get in the car,
46:01 you pop it open and you start eating it,
46:03 and you're like, "Oh, my Goodness,
46:05 this thing is terrible, absolutely terrible.
46:08 And so for a long time I kept saying,
46:10 you know, until I can create good desserts,
46:13 I'm not going to 'cause I'm not that girl
46:15 that used to do that pound of cake
46:16 that had a pound of flour, a pound of butter,
46:18 a pound of sugar.
46:19 Yeah, that why I used to make it so good
46:21 and everybody knew me for those.
46:23 So I kept saying, I can't go out there playing around
46:25 and mess up stuff 'cause they'll talk about me, right?
46:27 And so these recipes that we began and God is awesome
46:31 because really everything belongs to him
46:33 and he as he began to move me into this ministry of cooking
46:37 and I kept saying, "Okay, Father
46:38 how are we going to replace the sugar?
46:39 What are we gonna use in the place of this
46:41 and what are we gonna use in the place of that?"
46:42 And Lord kept saying different things to me about
46:44 what to do as I began doing that, I began to see.
46:47 Is he awesome or what?
46:49 He began creating,
46:50 I mean, after all he's the creator of the world,
46:51 he knows everything, okay?
46:54 Cooking is the number one gift,
46:58 the number one talent.
47:02 Number one thing that we should give
47:04 high commendations to the art of cooking and I know why.
47:11 Really this ministry,
47:12 your gift, the talent that God has given you
47:15 is unappreciated, undeserved.
47:18 Well, I appreciate it 'cause I live with you.
47:20 But other people do not understand
47:23 the art of cooking and not just cooking
47:25 but cooking healthfully, tastefully
47:28 and also not expensive
47:30 and will not take a lot of time.
47:31 That takes an art
47:33 and God has given you that gift.
47:34 Well, this is a burrito
47:35 and is actually an Apple Raisin Pecan,
47:37 and all the good stuff inside of it is absolutely good
47:40 and it's on top of the stove, on top of the stove.
47:43 We are not turning oven on
47:44 whatsoever for these recipes that we've given you to take.
47:47 So everything is on the top of the stove, okay?
47:49 So what we're gonna do is we gonna go ahead on
47:50 and we're gonna cut that apple.
47:51 I've already got some done.
47:53 For time sake. Whoo!
47:54 That one was a knocking, yeah?
47:56 Sorry about that.
47:58 I think we got the wrong cutting board.
48:00 That's all right.
48:01 Let me just go ahead and use a lighter one
48:03 and Curtis, while I do that there...
48:04 Let me do the Granny Smith.
48:06 Yeah, you do the Granny smith for me.
48:07 Okay, I got the big one.
48:08 You know I got one smaller than that.
48:10 'Cause this is a knife, this doesn't play.
48:13 You can try that one there.
48:14 Okay, now I get a knife from big to small, okay?
48:17 Oh, oh, no, I meant I was gonna have you do this here, baby.
48:19 I will go ahead and take this. Oh, you'll take that one.
48:21 Then you got this. I got that one.
48:23 Okay.
48:24 And all I'm gonna do is just
48:25 take that middle out of it, okay?
48:27 We're gonna take the middle out
48:28 and then we're just gonna slice it,
48:29 thin slices, thin slices.
48:32 I already have a bowl here, bring it over here.
48:34 I'm gonna ahead and start putting them in here.
48:36 This part here can go in
48:38 and just throw it in that thing.
48:39 Oh, okay.
48:40 Okay, so all we're gonna do is just cut them slice,
48:42 slice them thin, okay?
48:43 Slice them thin
48:45 and we're not gonna do a whole lot of them.
48:47 We're just gonna...
48:49 I just want them to see
48:50 and you've already seen how to do that, okay?
48:52 And we'll do one more I guess.
48:54 One more, one more, all right?
48:57 And then name of the game, you want those two colors
48:59 and I like the fact that I have a granny smith apple,
49:01 but those who use it said, "Oh, my goodness,
49:03 she's cut that in her hand.
49:04 She's gonna cut her hand."
49:05 And let me just go ahead and do that.
49:07 The burrito way is both to do it.
49:08 Oh. I'm doing...
49:10 I don't want my little young people who are watching
49:11 and decide to make this burrito
49:13 want them to cut themselves, okay?
49:14 Am I doing the wrong way?
49:15 No, no, I'm talking about me,
49:17 the way I was cutting it in my hand, okay?
49:18 So you see these colors are very, very nice.
49:19 Once again we're gonna go ahead and get our skillet ready
49:24 and we're gonna get ready to put in our margarine
49:28 'cause this one calls for a margarine.
49:29 That's enough, huh?
49:31 Yeah. Okay.
49:32 Okay, this one calls for margarine
49:33 and I'm gonna go ahead and put that in
49:35 and get that going.
49:36 All right, this is soy margarine
49:38 and it also...
49:41 So we're gonna get that melted.
49:44 And with that we can move it around
49:46 get it nice and warm, okay?
49:49 Because now when you do the apples
49:51 you're gonna have to make sure that you put that apples
49:52 in some juice, okay?
49:54 They need to go in a juice,
49:56 so we can keep it from going bad, all right?
49:57 Okay, all right.
49:59 All right, so we're gonna go ahead
50:00 and put the maple syrup in.
50:02 All right.
50:03 This is your maple syrup. Your maple syrup.
50:05 We're gonna go ahead
50:06 and start putting the apples in, okay?
50:09 Granny smith and red delicious. Granny smith and red delicious.
50:12 Any of the apples will do or this is just your process?
50:14 This is the ones I like to do.
50:16 They can do with any other one, but I like this.
50:18 This is a better recipe.
50:19 Oh, you're not using the juice then?
50:20 No, I'm not using the juice.
50:22 Orange juice is just used to actually...
50:23 So, it won't turn.
50:25 It won't make the apples turn.
50:26 Okay.
50:28 We gonna go ahead and put in the raisins
50:31 another real nice dish
50:33 and we gonna put in pecans
50:39 and this recipe we gonna sprinkle on a tad bit.
50:47 Actual cinnamon, okay.
50:50 I can see right now this is gonna taste good.
50:52 Oh, yeah, you can tell that, right?
50:53 You tell it. Okay.
50:55 So this actually cooks for few minutes on top of the stove.
50:58 Just in time for the apples to get in tender.
51:00 What you gonna do and then once again,
51:02 you gonna into juice to that,
51:04 your actual, actual is my favorite word today.
51:09 I'm gonna do this, what I'm gonna do,
51:12 I'm gonna go ahead and put this inside the shell
51:15 and I'm gonna roll them over and I'm gonna put some on top,
51:17 so you feel the end of the program,
51:18 so we just need you to stay bye for that.
51:20 Cause we got to go ahead and cook them out.
51:23 Right we cook down and well half a few minutes.
51:26 Maybe about 10 minutes, okay about 10 minutes,
51:28 okay then after that you it inside the shell
51:31 like I did for heater,
51:32 we gonna put in the middle of the shell,
51:34 wrap it up and flip it over, that's quick and easy.
51:35 Oh, my goodness that's quick and also on top of the stove.
51:40 Okay, good.
