01:08 Hi, welcome to 3ABN Today.
01:11 And today's program...
01:12 First of all, my name is Curtis Eakins
01:15 and this is my wife Paula.
01:17 I'm Paula.
01:18 Married for what? Over 20...
01:21 Silver Anniversary, over 25 years
01:23 at the time it is taping.
01:24 Over 25?
01:26 Yeah, could be more, by the time they see this...
01:27 But right now it's silver anniversary.
01:29 All right.
01:30 I'm gonna go for go, you gonna go for go?
01:32 Yeah, yeah.
01:33 I'm excited
01:35 because this is the Thanksgiving show.
01:38 Thanksgiving cooking. All right.
01:40 When I think about all the holidays
01:42 that are out there, and I love them all.
01:44 Okay.
01:45 I think about the fact that Thanksgiving
01:47 is one of my favorite.
01:48 Okay.
01:49 And it's my favorite
01:51 because I think that word Thanksgiving and Thankful...
01:54 Okay.
01:55 Kinda goes together.
01:56 Praises to God,
01:58 always be thankful for His mercies,
01:59 and goodness, and blessings, and everything, yes.
02:01 And family and friends and all that too.
02:03 Oh, and all that kind of good stuff, yes.
02:04 So, I know you're saying to yourself,
02:06 what are you fixing on this show, right?
02:08 Okay, Thanksgiving cooking show.
02:11 Was it Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving cooking show.
02:13 Yes, yes, yes.
02:14 So, we're gonna be doing on this show, Curtis.
02:16 Okay.
02:18 A meatloaf, it's a holiday meatloaf.
02:20 Okay, now this vegetarian or...?
02:22 Holiday meatloaf...
02:23 Yes, it's all vegetarian.
02:24 Okay. All right, just checking.
02:26 And then we're also gonna be doing this mushroom gravy
02:28 to go over top of that meatloaf.
02:29 Oh, my goodness. Okay.
02:31 And then we gonna do a redskin mashed potatoes.
02:35 I love potatoes.
02:36 I know you do.
02:37 I know, I know.
02:39 And then we're gonna be doing this festive green beans.
02:42 Festive, not green beans, but festive.
02:44 Festive green beans.
02:45 Festive. I got it.
02:46 And you know the Coup de Grace, which is gonna be the dessert.
02:49 Some kind of a dessert.
02:50 A carrot cake
02:53 with an orange sauce over the top of it.
02:54 Okay, you hurt somebody?
02:56 Or did you hurt somebody? Thanksgiving.
02:57 It's Thanksgiving. It's Thanksgiving,
02:59 All right. All right. It sounds good.
03:01 So, I'm always excited.
03:03 But when you think about Thanksgiving,
03:05 you think about the fact that just so many people
03:06 that's going through stuff
03:08 and they might not be able to celebrate.
03:10 So this kind of show is good too,
03:11 because it might give you some ideas of things
03:14 that you can actually put together
03:16 and either gather people at your home
03:18 or take something with you when you go.
03:21 I know, in our neighborhood where we live,
03:23 we go in the neighborhood and a lot of people,
03:26 a lot of widows in our neighborhood,
03:27 and we go around and take things to their homes,
03:30 you know, and visit with them,
03:32 and a lot of them live alone in our neighborhood.
03:34 So this is a time of season too,
03:36 I'll be thankful to give to others as well.
03:39 Yeah. Yes.
03:40 So, this is very appropriate.
03:42 And so speaking about being thankful
03:43 and giving to others,
03:44 most people think
03:46 when they think of Thanksgiving,
03:47 I know Sarah, you're saying to yourself,
03:50 I know that she's gonna have a turkey.
03:54 A vegetarian turkey.
03:55 Well, I'm gonna tell you right now,
03:57 there ain't gonna be no turkey, okay?
03:59 So we're not gonna do a turkey.
04:00 But we're gonna do this holiday.
04:02 This holiday meatloaf.
04:04 With the gravy and all that kind of stuff, yeah.
04:05 Yeah, you can have any kind of main entree.
04:07 Okay.
04:08 And so with that in mind,
04:09 so I'm preparing for this program,
04:11 I kept thinking, oh, a meatloaf would be really good.
04:13 Okay. All right.
04:14 And so, we're gonna look at the actual ingredients
04:17 is for the very first part of this program,
04:20 this holiday meatloaf.
04:22 Holiday meatloaf, let's go with it.
05:03 Okay, okay.
05:04 Now, I know it sounds like a lot of stuff
05:06 that goes into this meatloaf.
05:07 And when you really think of a regular meatloaf
05:09 that people have,
05:11 it has a lot of fat and stuff
05:12 they gonna be using regular meat,
05:14 they might be using pork
05:15 and different things that go into it.
05:17 But we're doing a plant based
05:19 because that's what we do on 3ABN,
05:20 plant base eating.
05:22 So we're going to actually derive
05:23 our own combinations of things
05:25 that we're going to put together
05:26 to make up this wonderful meatloaf.
05:28 Now, let's two ingredients.
05:29 I have to make sure that, you know,
05:30 a lot of people may be watching this
05:32 for the first time.
05:33 You know, we've been on what?
05:35 For 22 years, a lot of people say,
05:36 I just now watching you guys
05:37 for the first time in last month.
05:39 So, two ingredients you mentioned
05:41 vital wheat gluten and liquid smoke
05:44 that may not be a familiar term
05:45 with some of those individuals.
05:47 So, first liquid smoke, what is that and...?
05:51 Okay, liquid smoke is exactly what it's called.
05:53 It's just a liquid kind of a smoke.
05:55 It's actually smoke flavored,
05:57 more or less it kind of helps like we're doing a meat,
05:59 or meatloaf, or meat burgers or whatever.
06:01 Okay.
06:02 You wanna put it in here to help get that texture
06:04 and that flavor that people are used to, all right?
06:06 Now, you can get that in any grocery store
06:08 or any main grocery store, liquid smoke?
06:10 As a matter of fact, this is what it looks like.
06:12 It looks like liquid.
06:14 So it gives a nice flavor
06:16 to a lot of recipes and you do meatloaf.
06:18 Any kind of meat dish.
06:19 Any kind of meat dish. Any kind of meat dish.
06:21 Okay? Okay, okay.
06:22 Now, another one was vital wheat gluten.
06:24 That maybe another term that people may not be...
06:25 And so we also have a vital wheat gluten.
06:28 Yeah, let's talk about that and where we can get it?
06:29 Now, vital wheat gluten
06:32 is in all your regular stores as well.
06:33 Okay. All right?
06:35 And back in the day, back in the day...
06:37 Okay, now, back in the day means some time ago.
06:40 Okay, I want to go back in a day.
06:41 Okay.
06:43 Back in a day when we did the gluten,
06:44 we used to use white flour or whole wheat flour,
06:47 basically it was white flour,
06:48 and you washed it all the actual flour out
06:52 and it came to a big ball called gluten.
06:54 Then we set it into a pot with hot water and bell peppers
06:57 and onions and stuff,
06:58 and it cook for about an hour or so.
07:00 It took a long time, a lot of flour.
07:01 Let me tell you, it took forever, forever,
07:03 we do make steaks and burgers
07:04 and everything out of it, all right?
07:06 Vital wheat gluten came out, I'm like, yay yo.
07:08 Already in flour form?
07:10 Because what... It's already... yes.
07:12 All you do with this precious flour
07:14 is just add water to it and it just done its thing.
07:15 Oh, and that's it, you're ready to go.
07:16 Yeah. Okay. Good.
07:18 So, yeah, that, that, that.
07:19 Now, also people are used to the ground beef
07:22 which is a ground beef
07:24 and this is actually not a ground beef,
07:25 why don't you hold that up, Baby,
07:26 that's actually a crumble breakfast.
07:30 I'm sorry, meat crumble
07:32 and so it looks like ground beef.
07:34 Yes.
07:35 And once again it's frozen.
07:37 You can buy it frozen,
07:39 it's in your frozen food section.
07:40 And so it's easy to get as well.
07:41 So, this is soy based?
07:44 It's TVP and soy, all those kind of combinations,
07:46 but it's actually called a beef crumble.
07:49 And this will be at also regular grocery store?
07:52 It's in regular grocery store in a freezer section.
07:54 Now, you know what also and I know
07:56 that most of the time when people do meatloaf,
07:58 they always do white bread, but we're doing plant based,
08:02 so we gonna be doing whole wheat bread.
08:05 So more nutrients in the whole wheat
08:07 as opposed to white, refined.
08:09 Okay.
08:10 And because of the fact that,
08:11 you know, on there's two things.
08:13 Number one, I talked about the crumbles,
08:14 you know, crumbling the bread up,
08:16 but then on this one here
08:17 I actually just put the bread into a bowl
08:20 and I poured about a cup of water
08:23 over top of it
08:24 because you want to get just kind of soft.
08:27 You see, soft.
08:28 Okay, okay.
08:29 Now, while I'm doing this, I want you to do this, Curtis,
08:31 we gonna be sautéing our onions and garlic
08:33 to go inside that meatloaf.
08:35 And so I'm gonna have you go ahead on
08:36 and cut up the onions for me.
08:38 Okay. Okay?
08:39 And once again we've got the...
08:42 Now, another thing too,
08:43 you can do this also as well is you can use milk,
08:48 which is a soy milk or almond milk
08:50 and that in this recipe as well as water.
08:52 So, either one, the water,
08:55 one cup or you can do the milk,
08:59 soy milk, almond milk, rice milk,
09:02 it's more or less really just.
09:03 Little more fine cutting.
09:04 Yes, it's more or less really just to make sure
09:06 that the breadcrumbs or the bread is actually soft.
09:11 That's what we need.
09:12 Because remember now,
09:14 there's no fat in this recipe itself,
09:15 we're gonna use some olive oil, but there's no fat.
09:17 And so with that in mind, we have to find a way
09:19 in which to be able to match all these together.
09:22 And that's why I'm using this gluten,
09:24 this vital wheat gluten,
09:25 it's gonna be like almost like a flour
09:27 to help coagulate it and make it stick together.
09:30 I wanna go ahead and turn it on because what you're gonna do,
09:32 Curtis, you gonna get that garlic done for me as well.
09:34 Okay.
09:35 All right.
09:37 And let's go ahead and get this one ready.
09:39 And so I wanna get...
09:40 So you ready to go?
09:42 We're gonna do that.
09:43 And you gonna go ahead and mince up the garlic as well.
09:44 I'm gonna go ahead and put the oil in the pan.
09:46 Okay. Okay.
09:48 Now, just chop this up, too?
09:49 Yeah. Oh, okay.
09:51 Let me do that. Yeah.
09:53 Okay.
09:54 So, you know, when I talk about the garlic and stuff,
09:57 a lot of times,
09:58 you don't have to really go through a bunch of mincing,
10:00 so all I'm doing is just cutting in to half.
10:01 So a little chop, huh?
10:03 Just a little chop. Okay, just little chop.
10:04 Little, little chop, just little chop.
10:06 Okay, and that's gonna go in there as well.
10:09 Okay.
10:11 And, of course, for those...
10:12 So now the onion and the garlic will be sautéed together?
10:16 Yeah, it's gonna go in that meatloaf
10:18 because it is plant based,
10:20 it doesn't take a long time for this meatloaf to cook.
10:23 And so with that in mind, we wanna make sure,
10:26 this knife ain't plain, is it?
10:28 It ain't plain yet.
10:29 No, this is where to be cut.
10:31 I know, I see that. Okay.
10:33 Okay, let's go ahead on
10:34 and put in our onions...
10:40 When was the last time you did a meatloaf at our home?
10:44 It's been a while, hasn't it?
10:45 It's been a while. Yeah.
10:47 Usually I do the meatloaf for like special occasion.
10:49 Yeah, holidays.
10:50 You know, holidays or if someone is coming over
10:52 for a special kind of the dinner.
10:54 But normally I hold it for that time frame.
10:59 All right, so we're gonna let that go ahead
11:00 and start getting itself together.
11:02 And we want it, not really to cook it long,
11:05 we just want to get a little bit softer,
11:07 that's all we're gonna be using that for.
11:08 Okay.
11:10 I'm gonna move that over here to the side.
11:11 I'm gonna put that...
11:13 There's some more of the chopping, right?
11:14 That's all we're gonna be doing for this one.
11:15 Okay. Okay.
11:17 And we're gonna put that back in there
11:18 and we get out the way.
11:19 And we gonna get that going.
11:23 I like to use either olive oil or canola oil.
11:26 In this particular recipe it doesn't make any difference
11:28 with someone you use once again,
11:31 so that's gonna sauté and remember now,
11:33 we've already added the water to the actual bread.
11:36 And we're using the whole wheat bread, remember that.
11:37 Now, we try and do all things plant based,
11:39 all things all of course natural as possible.
11:41 Okay.
11:42 And we're gonna also go ahead on.
11:44 This is just plain instant oats.
11:46 Now these are the things that is actually a part
11:47 of making this meatloaf come together.
11:49 Just to make it stick together and help the substance.
11:51 It helps make them stick together.
11:52 And remember now when you're doing instant oats,
11:54 as soon as it gets near water,
11:55 it's gonna actually begin to grab up
11:57 all the water from everything else.
11:59 Suppose you get rolled oats, so old fashioned,
12:02 is gonna be a different texture?
12:03 No, I will not do rolled oats in this particular one
12:05 because rolled oats takes too long
12:07 to grab the water.
12:08 All right? Okay. Okay.
12:10 And so with that in mind, you wanna go ahead on.
12:12 In other words just follow the recipe.
12:14 Yes.
12:15 That means just follow the recipe.
12:17 Follow the recipe.
12:18 You don't follow recipe, then don't mention your name.
12:20 Well, okay, see, I see you been good on them.
12:24 Okay, okay, okay.
12:26 So what you can do then, you can go ahead on for me,
12:28 you can take that water
12:29 and that beef style seasoning we're using.
12:31 I want you go...
12:33 No, no, no, these two together.
12:34 Oh!
12:36 And would you stir that for me, okay?
12:39 Now, I have a little bit more oil here because remember now,
12:42 the crumbs I'm using
12:44 does not have oil in them at all.
12:47 And we have to have some kind of assimilation base
12:50 of looking like or acting like a meatloaf
12:52 and you need to have a little bit more oil in there
12:55 to be able to do that.
12:57 Okay?
12:58 So we got that going.
13:00 And you stirred that up.
13:02 Okay.
13:03 And we're gonna go ahead on and put in our oats.
13:05 Now, this goes in where?
13:07 Right in here. Oh, right in here?
13:08 There they go.
13:10 All right.
13:11 And then we gonna put in the vital wheat gluten.
13:13 Okay, there you go.
13:15 All right, then we got our onion
13:17 and our garlic powder.
13:20 It's gonna hard to tell which one is which,
13:22 but they both going in anyway so it doesn't really matter.
13:24 Onion powder and garlic powder, they almost the same color.
13:27 Yeah, same color. Okay.
13:28 And then I'm gonna have you add the liquid smoke
13:31 to the beef style seasoning over there for me.
13:35 Okay, you got it?
13:36 There you go. Okay.
13:38 There you go.
13:40 All right.
13:42 I'm gonna just go ahead and turn this off
13:44 because I just don't want this to get too dark.
13:46 You want me to stir this up a little bit, Honey?
13:48 You can.
13:49 Okay.
13:52 Okay, and then we're using thyme
13:55 in this recipe as well.
13:56 Go ahead and put the thyme in.
13:58 Okay.
14:00 Let's get a bigger spoon.
14:05 That's pretty big.
14:07 Let's get a big spoon.
14:08 Okay, let's do that.
14:11 So you wanna mix all that in
14:12 and make sure that's going in there.
14:15 Okay.
14:17 Now, the liquid parts of all this is now
14:18 is gonna help to form because you can see right now
14:21 the way it's looking the ground beef
14:23 is actually still separated here, okay?
14:26 So we gotta make it thick enough,
14:28 so it can actually turn into a meatloaf.
14:30 Okay. Okay?
14:31 So, we're gonna go ahead and put in, the bread.
14:37 Now these breadcrumbs,
14:38 you can purchase them already like that
14:40 would you make or just get some bread
14:42 and make the crumbs or how you process or what?
14:45 Okay, I used to do that,
14:46 but I found that because of the fact
14:48 that the breadcrumbs are gonna require more liquid.
14:51 So if I soak bread,
14:53 with just two slices of whole wheat bread,
14:55 you can just cut this the edges off of it,
14:58 set it into a bowl and then pour your water
14:59 or your milk on top of that and let it sit for a minute,
15:02 because now we got to get moisture
15:03 to the actual meatloaf, remember that, okay?
15:06 Now, you can go ahead on now, I'm gonna do this.
15:08 Let me just go ahead and add in,
15:10 now the onions and the garlic.
15:17 They smell good?
15:18 They do smell good.
15:19 The food smells good too.
15:21 Okay, the food and okay.
15:22 Yeah both smell good.
15:24 Kind of threw you off, didn't I?
15:27 Yeah, you did. Yes, I did. Yes, I did.
15:28 Yeah, you did. Yeah, you did.
15:29 One point for me.
15:32 Just keep on stirring, Baby.
15:34 You're doing a fine job.
15:35 Okay, now, what I'm gonna have to do
15:37 is kind of give them more like just the meatloaf.
15:40 Yes, yes, yes.
15:41 Now when we're going to add this,
15:42 but you add the oil too?
15:44 The oil's already in there.
15:45 Oh, that was for the sauté of onions and garlic.
15:46 What you gonna do for me
15:48 is you gonna get me the pan back there.
15:49 I'm gonna be using to shake that meatloaf.
15:55 Oh, here we go.
15:58 Okay.
15:59 Just set it right there for me.
16:01 All right.
16:06 So you know it's taking on his own personality already.
16:09 The vital wheat gluten and also the oats
16:11 are both going after the liquid.
16:13 All right.
16:15 So slowly, I want you to cupping that, Baby.
16:16 Slowly, I want you to pour that on top.
16:18 Slowly.
16:20 Slowly.
16:21 To back over there.
16:24 Get all the way around.
16:30 Okay, okey dokey.
16:35 Just one here, so a better one that I'll use.
16:38 And, you know, what I like,
16:40 when I used to do these meatloaves,
16:41 I used to actually turn around and put them in a pan,
16:45 the meatloaves.
16:47 But I discovered that I like
16:49 when you make your own meatloaf shape.
16:52 So, I mean, you still gonna put into pan, but...
16:55 Yeah, but I'm not gonna put in a loaf pan.
16:57 Oh, okay.
16:59 I'm actually gonna put it into this pan.
17:01 This flat pan.
17:02 Now...
17:03 And also it gives you flavors.
17:05 Because I wanna make my own loaf,
17:06 I wanna make my own design.
17:07 I don't wanna put it in a pan itself.
17:09 And usually for this plant based,
17:11 I find it works a lot better.
17:12 And I got my little trusty my little gloves on
17:16 because I'm gonna have to shape this thing.
17:19 Okay?
17:20 You can also take this recipe
17:21 and make small meatloaf as well.
17:23 You don't have to make a big one.
17:25 But we're making a big one
17:26 because this is Thanksgiving, okay?
17:27 Thanksgiving season.
17:29 And it's gonna be the main entrée
17:30 as far as what's going on.
17:32 So...
17:33 You can have a sauce on top of this too, right?
17:35 We gonna have sauce, it goes on there.
17:37 I wanna go ahead on and start putting in
17:40 the first part of the meatloaf.
17:43 And I say, is she doing a...?
17:45 Now it's gonna be a big meatloaf.
17:46 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. All right.
17:48 Let's start with this one here first.
17:50 And we wanna put that over here.
17:52 And then we gonna start shaping it.
17:54 Oh, okay.
17:57 And if you're doing parchment paper with that,
18:00 one of the things I found
18:01 is just switch your parchment paper first
18:03 and then lay it on your tray
18:04 and it seems to act a lot better.
18:06 And so the main thing is just actually now
18:08 as you can see, we're forming the meatloaf.
18:11 I know she put water first on the tray and then...
18:15 Trying the parchment paper
18:16 so it can sit down a little bit better.
18:17 Yeah. Okay.
18:19 So now we're gonna go ahead on and start putting in some more.
18:21 Okay.
18:26 And you can tell by the texture of it
18:28 that it is doing what it's supposed to do.
18:31 And that is forming the meatloaf
18:33 and then having the moisture in it.
18:34 And you're gonna keep on, you gonna pad it.
18:37 Pad it because you want it to be tight.
18:40 Oh, okay.
18:42 You want it to be tight.
18:44 This is gonna be a big meatloaf.
18:46 Yep because we got friends and family coming over.
18:48 Everybody coming over.
18:50 Everybody's coming over,
18:51 especially when they found out we're having Thanksgiving.
18:52 Yes, bring your cousins and nephews, uncles and...
18:55 Everybody's coming.
18:56 Everybody's coming. All right.
18:58 So we're gonna go ahead again with that
18:59 and you know that for this recipe,
19:01 if you wanna make a smaller one,
19:02 you don't have to make a real big one.
19:04 You can just use one 12 ounce package.
19:05 But if you notice that
19:06 I talked about using two packages of this, okay?
19:10 Let's get that last part in there.
19:11 Mm-hmm.
19:14 Okay.
19:15 All right.
19:16 You move that out of the way.
19:18 I'm gonna go ahead on, hold on, and get these spoon's too big.
19:19 Okay. There you go.
19:21 All right.
19:25 Now, make it match up.
19:30 Okay, it's coming along, Baby.
19:34 You're packing in, nice and tight.
19:35 Yeah, because you wanted
19:37 to have a nice when you slice it,
19:39 you want to be able to slice it and have it look good.
19:44 So in oven for...?
19:46 Three hundred and fifty degrees,
19:48 and I cover it with foil
19:49 the first time around, because you're now...
19:52 For how long?
19:53 For 30 minutes.
19:54 For 30 minutes, you cover it with foil.
19:56 At 350, right.
19:57 I put foil across the top of it.
19:58 Okay.
20:00 Foil across the top of it.
20:01 Shiny side down?
20:03 It doesn't make a difference whether it's that way or not.
20:04 Okay.
20:05 The only time I worry about that
20:07 is if I'm doing something that's got tomatoes in it.
20:08 Oh, a pool.
20:09 Okay, that's, yeah. Okay.
20:11 So, you see how that looks?
20:13 And then you want just kinda push it in, push it in.
20:17 Remember we are actually working on plant based.
20:20 So it's not like a regular meatloaf.
20:22 And so in order for you to get like you want to get it,
20:25 you wanna make sure that you compact it.
20:30 So, it'll stay together, it won't...
20:31 So it'll stay together. Okay.
20:33 And when you go to slice it,
20:34 it will slice like a regular meatloaf.
20:37 Good. All right.
20:39 Excellent. Okay.
20:40 I did a program once before with something like this
20:44 and I did a red gravy on it.
20:46 Okay, but this is Thanksgiving, so you wanna do a gravy,
20:49 a mushroom gravy is that we're gonna be doing next.
20:52 So that's ready to go in oven,
20:54 350 degrees covered first for 30 minutes.
20:58 Thirty minutes.
21:00 And then you gonna take your cover off.
21:01 Okay.
21:02 Take the cover off
21:04 and then it's going to sit in there
21:05 and it's gonna get the browning it needs to have.
21:07 For another...?
21:08 Fifteen minutes. For another 15.
21:09 Okay? Okay.
21:11 So, let's go ahead on
21:12 and get that ready to go in oven, Curtis.
21:13 Okay. Okay.
21:15 And remember the main thing
21:16 with this packet, packet, packet...
21:18 Packet, huh?
21:19 Packet, fill yourself packet, packet.
21:21 Get it ready. Get it ready.
21:24 Get it ready, and it is ready.
21:26 You put this in oven?
21:28 It's gonna go into oven, in our 3ABN oven, right?
21:30 Yes.
21:31 Yes.
21:34 At 350 degrees,
21:36 and while he's getting that together,
21:40 we're gonna look because you know
21:41 we have to have a gravy that goes with this, okay?
21:44 And that gravy in order to be able to do that one,
21:46 we're gonna go and look at the recipe for the gravy.
21:50 All right. It's a mushroom gravy.
22:13 Okay, so this is the gravy.
22:15 And it's a brown gravy that's gonna go
22:16 over top of that meatloaf when we serve.
22:18 When you slice the meatloaf,
22:19 you gonna pour it over top of it.
22:21 Okay?
22:22 And so we're gonna go ahead and get started with that.
22:24 So let me go ahead and get the oil going.
22:25 I mean, the gravy going here, onions...
22:28 You want to do some cornstarch in the water or what?
22:30 What you gonna do is you gonna go ahead on
22:31 and add this cornstarch is gotta go in cold water.
22:35 Cold water? All right.
22:36 And so let's go ahead and put that in there.
22:38 I'm going to put the oil in my pan.
22:40 It's the olive oil once again.
22:44 And once you get in there,
22:45 you just gonna stir it up for me.
22:48 Okay.
22:50 I'm gonna go ahead and put the onions in.
23:02 Now, that meatloaf, it will serve quite a bit?
23:06 Sixteen to eighteen slices.
23:08 Yeah. Yeah.
23:09 Okay. Yeah.
23:11 I'm gonna put the mushrooms into.
23:12 Now these are the baby portabellas mushrooms, okay?
23:14 All right.
23:16 I like them, they got a little bit more
23:17 medium texture to them as well.
23:19 And so what's we're gonna put in there.
23:22 Okay.
23:23 And we're gonna sauté,
23:24 once again sauté this for a few minutes
23:27 as it gets the stuff together,
23:29 this is the mushrooms and the onions
23:32 going on top of that meatloaf, okay?
23:35 Now, I'm gonna tell you
23:36 why I like this particular gravy, okay.
23:41 Because most of your gravies that you're using
23:43 are gonna be real thick kind of gravies,
23:45 but because of the fact that we're using cornstarch
23:47 and also the beef style seasoning,
23:49 it's gonna have more of a clear,
23:53 not only clear, it's gonna be dark
23:54 but you'll see it in a little bit, okay?
23:57 But it's not gonna be heavy thick gravy,
23:58 I don't like heavy thick gravies, all right.
24:00 So on these particular one,
24:02 we're actually going to go ahead on and put in.
24:05 You gonna ahead on and slowly stir in.
24:08 Now that you got the cornstarch in
24:09 and it's all ready to go.
24:11 We gonna do the beef style seasoning.
24:13 And this is not real beef, it's just a mock.
24:14 Now, yeah, let's talk about this
24:15 'cause does it make any different, mock.
24:17 A mock beef seasoning.
24:18 And again, this is at
24:20 your regular grocery stores, correct?
24:21 In the health food section in your grocery store.
24:23 Health food section.
24:24 And they also have a chicken style seasoning,
24:27 that's not chicken.
24:28 That's right.
24:30 But no animal products at all.
24:32 No animal, we're plant based.
24:33 Has a good flavor for most of your meat dishes,
24:37 would you say something to the meat dishes.
24:38 Yes, yes.
24:40 In any of the meat dishes,
24:41 either one or the other
24:42 you're gonna actually put in there,
24:44 either a chicken style.
24:45 If you're gonna do something
24:46 that's actually kind of mimicking that
24:48 of light or lighter color meat textures plant based.
24:51 And if you're gonna do beef
24:53 or steak or even the fat that you're gonna use
24:54 the beef style seasoning as well, okay?
24:56 Now you're gonna go ahead and stir in.
24:58 Go and stir in the onion powder and the garlic powder.
25:01 Okay, onion powder.
25:04 And why not garlic sauté and onion sauté?
25:07 And you answer that one, Honey.
25:08 I know you're gonna say that.
25:11 Garlic sauce is nothing more sautéed garlic, and garlic,
25:15 onion sauce is nothing more than sautéed onion.
25:18 Very good.
25:20 Yeah. Very good.
25:21 Stayed with you all these years.
25:22 So they're playing the physician too...
25:24 Yeah.
25:25 Of playing on words now.
25:26 Now, at this point, this is just about ready to go.
25:29 I'm gonna slowly, slowly, slowly
25:35 put in the gravy.
25:39 This is gonna be the beef style seasoning
25:44 and it's going to make.
25:47 And you see now, it looks kind of cloudy looking
25:49 but you wait, it's gonna turn a clear color.
25:52 Okay, a nice brown, light brown clear color.
25:56 I like to serve this also with the next recipe
25:59 we're gonna be doing as well.
26:02 So you're gonna stir it around, let it go here and cook,
26:05 it's gonna cook and as it's cooking,
26:07 we're going to be looking at the very next recipe.
26:11 So that's for now
26:12 to gets kind of cooking a little bit or what?
26:14 The cornstarch is going to make it turn thicker,
26:16 not real thick, but it's gonna make thick.
26:19 It's gonna turn in dark brown color.
26:21 And that's gonna be the gravy,
26:22 so at this one here, then we wanna go
26:24 into our redskin mashed potatoes, all right.
26:28 Okay.
26:29 Let's do it, Honey. All right.
26:44 Alrighty.
26:46 Now, this is a real good one because most time
26:48 when you think of mashed potatoes
26:49 you think about
26:51 the regular white potatoes, okay.
26:52 In a box. In a box.
26:54 Or no, no, no, or just regular white potatoes.
26:55 White potatoes, yeah. But we're doing a redskin.
26:57 Put some butter and salt and that's it.
26:58 So, with this one in mind, we're actually gonna take...
27:01 We already got our potatoes ready to go, okay?
27:04 So we're gonna put the potatoes in here.
27:07 And these are red potatoes.
27:09 Redskin potatoes.
27:10 Redskin, so we're keeping the skin on.
27:12 That's right.
27:13 The potato says, keep me with my jacket on.
27:15 Keep me with the jacket on. Okay.
27:17 And, now, Curtis,
27:20 I'm gonna move this over here on the side
27:22 because what we're getting ready to do
27:24 is to mash these potatoes with the potato masher.
27:26 Oh, okay. Okay.
27:27 So we're just gonna do it. Okay.
27:29 It's gonna go down.
27:31 All right, Baby.
27:33 Of course, I bought reason to it,
27:34 you got this, Baby.
27:35 Okay.
27:37 You can hold it, you can hold the bowl.
27:38 Oh, okay.
27:39 Okay.
27:41 So we're gonna mash it.
27:42 Twist and turn,
27:43 while I keep the skin on it, so.
27:47 And these potatoes,
27:48 once again they're small redskin potatoes
27:50 that we're using,
27:52 and we're gonna keep the skin on.
27:54 They're also in your regular stores as well,
27:56 the smaller ones.
27:57 I know it's making a lot of noise there
27:59 and it shouldn't be doing that.
28:00 Okay.
28:01 You want to pass the baton.
28:03 Oh.
28:04 Yeah, that's Olympics, you pose it kinda.
28:06 Go ahead. Oh.
28:08 Do it once way and then pass the baton.
28:09 Boom, there you go. All right.
28:11 Okay, let's see you do it.
28:13 There you go.
28:14 See, I should have given out to you from the beginning.
28:16 Well, I'll just do for a little while.
28:18 Okay.
28:19 And so we're gonna be using in this one also
28:21 just either an almond milk or a soy milk,
28:23 you can use that or a rice milk.
28:25 I usually use and almond or soy.
28:27 Sometime people call me and say,
28:28 they don't like to use almond.
28:30 They're allergic to almond milk.
28:31 So I say, okay, then do soy.
28:32 Then people call me and say, well, I'm allergic to soy.
28:34 I say, okay, and I'm gonna say, okay, well, you can do rice.
28:36 And then they say,
28:38 well, I'm allergic to all of those,
28:39 I'm like, okay. You just can't do this recipe.
28:40 Okay. Okay.
28:42 I know somebody asked me one time,
28:43 can I use coconut milk.
28:44 No, you don't wanna put coconut milk
28:46 in your mashed potatoes, okay.
28:47 How about that, Honey. Huh-huh.
28:49 Little bit more. A little bit more?
28:50 Mm-Hmm.
28:52 See 'cause you're on a roll now, twist and turn.
28:53 Okay.
28:54 Good thing, I've been pumping on.
28:56 Let me hold this. Oh.
28:57 Okay, so what I'm gonna do
28:59 is I'm just gonna take some of this out.
29:00 Yeah.
29:01 I got a good pump on that one, Honey.
29:03 Yeah, you did. Yes, I did, yeah. Okay.
29:04 And now, I want you to go ahead on
29:05 and you can spoon some on it
29:07 while I put in, we're gonna put the margarine in.
29:08 Get all the goodies off of this.
29:10 Well, it's gonna hard
29:11 to get all of that in between here.
29:12 Well, did not all of it
29:14 but so long as you get some of it.
29:15 We're gonna put the margarine, that's the margarine going in.
29:17 Okay.
29:18 And, of course, you know
29:20 there's a lot of margarines on the market now.
29:22 The main thing is, you wanna make sure
29:23 that those margarines don't have any hydrogenated oil
29:25 being used in them at all.
29:27 And so let's look around and see what's there,
29:30 because of the heart health
29:31 and people are being so concerned about the heart.
29:33 A lot of the new margarines have come out
29:35 that are really, really good for us, okay.
29:37 Okay. I think I'm through with this.
29:39 I think you're finished. Okay. Okay.
29:41 So we're gonna get that melt, that melted,
29:43 the margarine melted with the potatoes.
29:46 Okay.
29:47 And see that redskin there, it's pretty.
29:50 The skin is where you get the nutrients.
29:51 And you know what?
29:52 I don't want to mash these potatoes up.
29:55 I want them to have that kind of rustic
29:57 kind of a texture to it.
29:59 Okay. Or soy margarine is already in.
30:01 The margarine's already in.
30:02 Okay. Okay.
30:03 And then I might have you take and slowly stir in,
30:07 slowly stir in.
30:08 Slowly. Yeah, milk.
30:10 Okay, little bit, little bit, little bit.
30:13 Okay.
30:16 Okay.
30:18 And let's do a little bit more there.
30:21 Alrighty.
30:22 Okay, now, what happened to my masher?
30:25 Oh, you still need that, okay. 'Cause you're gonna...
30:28 Now, you're gonna see it's lot of easier also
30:29 to mash with that.
30:31 So just gonna mash and twist.
30:34 Mash and twist it.
30:36 So we made that gravy up
30:37 that goes with that meatloaf and now Curtis
30:40 has just finished it doing up the,
30:42 kind of a that rustic look to the mashed potatoes,
30:44 we're gonna keep that redskin on top of it.
30:46 And we're gonna serve it also
30:48 with little bit of parsley on top of it, fresh parsley.
30:50 You can do green chives on here as well.
30:53 Color is gonna be very, very pretty, okay.
30:56 And so... Little more mashing?
30:58 I think that looks good.
30:59 Let's just me do this here, just go around.
31:01 Okay.
31:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:05 See that. Okay.
31:07 So that is gonna be going in a bowl
31:09 and you're gonna see that at the end of the program,
31:11 you'll see that with the parsley on top of it
31:13 because now it's time to go to our very next one
31:15 which is going to be our festive green beans.
31:19 Let's look at the ingredients.
31:42 Now this is easy and it's a quick one as well,
31:45 colorful rather than just regular green beans.
31:47 It is Thanksgiving. It is.
31:48 So with that in mind you wanna it to be pretty.
31:50 Something special. Pretty, pretty, pretty.
31:52 So I'm gonna ahead on and turn on my fire, okay.
31:58 And we're gonna go ahead and put the margarine
32:00 because I wanna use margarine instead of oil
32:01 because the margarine has more flavor to it.
32:03 Okay, soy margarine.
32:04 So you got the soy margarine going on,
32:06 so we're gonna go ahead and put that into our skillet.
32:08 All right.
32:10 Right, get it going.
32:11 Okay, and then with that in mind also,
32:14 we've already chopped up, we've had the orange pepper,
32:17 we got the yellow pepper,
32:19 we got the garlic, we have the onions
32:21 and all that's gonna go in there.
32:22 And we've already steamed
32:24 and I like the long beans for the holidays,
32:26 the long green beans.
32:27 That way it's a more attractive,
32:29 it has a pretty presentation.
32:30 And those are frozen or fresh?
32:32 I've already steamed them, they're already to go.
32:34 You can buy fresh, you can do it,
32:35 you can do frozen.
32:37 Okay.
32:38 Then even have it now in a regular plastic bag,
32:40 whatever you wanna do, the green beans,
32:42 make sure they're already done,
32:44 okay, before you actually do the recipe.
32:45 All right.
32:47 So you gonna go ahead and cook according
32:48 to the recipe instruction, all right.
32:50 So we gonna go ahead on and get this heat up.
32:52 And I'm going to then begin to add in all of,
32:58 here goes in the orange peppers sliced.
33:04 And then the yellow peppers sliced.
33:08 And then the onions.
33:12 All of this 'cause we've already got them.
33:14 It's very colorful dish.
33:16 Very colorful dish. It is, it is, it is.
33:19 So we gonna let that go ahead and sauté,
33:21 and let's go and put on in the garlic also as well.
33:24 So we got the garlic too. Okay.
33:26 Okay.
33:27 And so we gonna let that go ahead on and sauté.
33:29 Had lot more flavor to it.
33:31 I've done green beans before on our show Abundant Living
33:35 and our Dare to Dream show.
33:37 And it's just matter of the coloring
33:40 more than anything else,
33:41 because we're doing Thanksgiving,
33:42 I just thought it would be more appropriate
33:44 to have like the orange pepper, the yellow pepper,
33:46 okay, along with the green,
33:47 you kind of get that aesthetics
33:48 of a Thanksgiving kind of a look to it, okay.
33:50 Okay.
33:52 And the green beans have already been done,
33:54 they're ready to go.
33:55 And so all we gonna do
33:56 is just let it sauté for few minutes,
33:58 then we're gonna add in the green beans.
34:03 Now, so once you add in the green beans,
34:05 well, maybe just a few minutes of just,
34:08 'cause they're already done, right?
34:09 The green beans are already done.
34:11 All you gonna do is you wanna make sure
34:12 that this is more tender.
34:14 So that's getting tender now,
34:15 you can see it's actually sizzling there.
34:17 And then we got the green beans.
34:19 You can, like I said before,
34:21 you can actually do them ahead of time or you can...
34:22 You gonna make sure the green beans are done.
34:26 So are these Kentucky Wonders?
34:30 Is that your favorite green bean?
34:32 That's the only green beans I know.
34:33 Oh, I know, you're ready to say.
34:34 My grandma used to raise Kentucky Wonder,
34:36 so, it's kind of stuck in my mind
34:38 for the last 50 years.
34:39 So you think all the green beans are...
34:40 Everything is Kentucky Wonders.
34:42 Everything, everything, everything.
34:43 Everything's Kentucky Wonders.
34:44 And you know we actually grow our green beans also.
34:46 That's right, in our garden.
34:47 And Kentucky Wonders is one I've actually done
34:49 in the garden as a green bean concerned.
34:53 So now we're gonna go ahead on and put in.
35:00 Okay. All right.
35:02 And this is where that coloring is going to come in handy.
35:05 And it's going to get real pretty.
35:06 Now, this is a chicken style season
35:08 you want to add this at the end?
35:10 Right. Okay.
35:11 And for those who just turning in the program
35:12 and they miss almost all of it,
35:14 you want to ask a question, they gonna say,
35:16 "So what's that chicken style season again?"
35:18 There's no chicken,
35:19 there's no animal products in that at all.
35:22 And also it has beef style seasoning,
35:24 no beef.
35:26 So it's plant based at your regular grocery store.
35:29 So it's very convenient and has a mouth,
35:32 nice mouth feel flavor for any type
35:34 of I guess meat like dishes would you had it?
35:36 Yes, yes, yes.
35:38 And it also can make a chicken gravy as well.
35:41 Okay. Okay?
35:42 So what we're gonna do
35:44 is we're going to put the lid on this,
35:45 let it stir for a while.
35:46 And I'm going to go ahead and add
35:48 in the chicken style seasoning
35:50 on top of that as well now, the flavor in.
35:56 Let's just scoot around one more time,
35:58 and I have a lid on to here
35:59 also that we gonna put on top of this.
36:04 Okay.
36:09 And now you know.
36:10 And let that simmer for what, for few minutes?
36:12 Yeah, you have to stir for few minutes.
36:15 Want to make sure you cover all your beans.
36:20 All right.
36:23 Okay, that will simmer there for a little while and...
36:29 That's going to be,
36:30 what we gonna do as we look at.
36:32 Okay, so dessert always was our Thanksgiving meal.
36:36 Always. Always.
36:37 Something for some, usually, Thanksgiving
36:40 people think about pumpkin pie.
36:41 Pumpkin pie. Sweet potato pie.
36:43 Sweet potato pie. Yeah.
36:45 Either one of those two pies.
36:46 What do you think about some kind of cake?
36:47 Yes. Or you think about...
36:50 I know, anything that's...
36:52 Pumpkin, sweet potato.
36:54 Always something sweet, okay?
36:55 Right.
36:56 So this is gonna be sweet too as well.
36:58 It's going to sweet as well.
36:59 It's gonna have an ice that's go on as well.
37:01 Well, let's tell the people what it is.
37:02 Okay, we're doing a carrot cake...
37:04 Oh, carrot cake, okay.
37:05 With the green beans on this one here.
37:07 Let's go for it.
37:52 Now... Okay.
37:53 All right.
37:55 This, one of our favorites, carrot cake and, of course,
37:57 what better time to do it than Thanksgiving, right?
37:59 Thanksgiving time, Honey.
38:00 Okay, so you know 'cause people are used
38:01 to the pumpkin pie and sweet potato pie, so.
38:03 And they like cakes too, so we gonna do that one.
38:06 Now one of the things that's really interesting
38:07 about this particular one, Curtis, is once again,
38:10 because it's all plant based,
38:11 then we're gonna be doing some assimilation.
38:13 When I say assimilation, I mean, I have like the soy...
38:17 Soy milk. Or can be almond.
38:18 Almond, okay. Okay.
38:19 But I'm gonna go ahead and put into it,
38:21 the fresh lemon.
38:22 Because what we're going to do
38:24 is we're going to try to create an atmosphere
38:27 of almost like a buttermilk kind of a texture,
38:30 to go into this one here.
38:31 And you're going to see in little bit
38:32 how it's going to wind up coagulating,
38:34 and looking almost like a curd, okay.
38:36 Okay.
38:38 What that's going to be there.
38:39 So that be stirred a little bit or...?
38:41 No, we're just gonna leave it alone.
38:42 Leave it alone, okay. Leave it alone.
38:43 And then what we're gonna do,
38:45 we're gonna add to that after it sits for a few minutes,
38:46 we're gonna go with the other stuff.
38:47 We're gonna add to it our oil,
38:49 we're gonna add our and this sugar.
38:50 This is a Florida crystals. Florida crystals.
38:52 Now, let's explain.
38:54 Okay. I mean, what is that?
38:55 Well, basically when we talk about the sugars,
38:57 we're trying to make sure that we use those
38:58 as close as natural form as possible.
39:01 And so, Florida crystals are out there
39:03 or there's other sugars out there,
39:04 fructose are different ones you can use,
39:06 regular white, right,
39:07 they're definitely less refined, okay.
39:09 Now, you mentioned egg replacer too,
39:11 that's another word that people may not be familiar
39:14 with egg replacer,
39:16 and where they can purchase that.
39:18 Now believe it or not, egg replacer is now
39:20 also in your regular grocery stores as well.
39:22 I knew, I just thought I'll ask for viewers.
39:23 And an egg replacer
39:25 because there is no eggs actually in this.
39:26 So it's a replacer.
39:28 Yes, replace the eggs, and so with that in mind,
39:31 it actually can go two ways,
39:32 one, it can actually go in to the flour mixture,
39:36 or you can put it into a bowl by itself,
39:39 put a little bit of oil and flicked it up.
39:40 So when the recipe asks for eggs?
39:42 Whenever my recipe calls for eggs...
39:44 Yeah, cholesterol free, okay. Mm-hmm.
39:45 You're gonna be using egg replacer.
39:47 Okay. Yeah, good, good, good.
39:48 I asked that so everybody else knows everything else.
39:49 I think everybody else kind of know.
39:51 Yeah.
39:52 Oh, and I'm also using the whole wheat pastry flour.
39:54 Yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay.
39:56 And, you know, as you've watched our program,
39:57 Abundant Living and those Dare to Dream,
40:00 that we use a unbleached flour with the germ present
40:04 which means it's not like a regular flour,
40:06 but it isn't definitely a flour
40:09 that has not been de-germed
40:11 or we are putting the germ has been put back into it,
40:13 so it's more nutritious,
40:14 basically, it's more nutritious.
40:16 Okay, so.
40:17 And then the pastry flour, believe it or not,
40:18 we got that going
40:20 because I want a little more substance in that,
40:21 that carrot cake.
40:23 And so we're using the pastry flour
40:24 because pastry flour is almost like a summer wheat,
40:28 we call it a summer wheat flour.
40:30 So it's not heavy.
40:32 It's very, very thin, and it goes very well
40:34 with the unbleached flour with the germs.
40:35 So those are gonna be going in there as well.
40:37 So what you're gonna be doing, Curtis,
40:38 we're gonna actually start doing our dry ingredients
40:41 and they actually go inside of our sifter.
40:43 The sifter? I'm gonna give you a...
40:45 Let's get a spatula going here, and you're gonna put...
40:48 Now, this is the pastry?
40:50 And that's the unbleached flour with the germ.
40:52 And this is the pastry, okay.
40:53 So what we're gonna do is just gonna take
40:54 and put them all into that big.
40:56 Why don't you just go ahead and put it in there.
40:57 I kind of put all of them here at one time.
40:59 In that way we're gonna do the sifting of it, okay.
41:02 Okay.
41:03 So we got that flour.
41:05 This is the unbleached flour with the germ.
41:08 And then also,
41:09 we're gonna add the pastry flour as well,
41:12 to that mix.
41:14 That's gonna go in there too.
41:15 It's been a while since I sifted.
41:18 Bring back memories. Yes, yes.
41:20 And then we're gonna add in the coriander.
41:22 Oh, I'm putting them all on there in one time.
41:23 And all of this?
41:25 And egg replacer can go in there too.
41:26 Okay. Okay.
41:28 And the sea salt.
41:29 That's gonna go in here too.
41:30 And this is...?
41:32 And that is...
41:33 Something.
41:34 It look like, both are white.
41:36 Okay. We're putting in anyway.
41:38 We got the egg replacer and the baking powder.
41:40 Okay, yeah, yeah, 'cause both are...
41:41 Aluminum free, they're same color.
41:43 Yeah, both are white, so... Okay.
41:45 They're both going in.
41:47 Anyway, so then we just gonna start... sifting.
41:51 Oh, okay.
41:55 Okay.
41:56 All right. Let me.
41:58 Oh, I'm not doing it right.
42:00 I think you kind of working soft, okay.
42:03 Oh, you have to turn a little bit.
42:05 Oh, okay.
42:06 Yeah, what do we see there now what I did.
42:09 You got to mix them together.
42:11 It's been a while since I sifted.
42:12 I find it when I put in, I put the cinnamon in a bit,
42:14 I mean the coriander and all that in here at the same time.
42:16 Yeah.
42:17 It gives a better, you know, mixture, okay, and it helps it.
42:20 I see the cinnamon arising up.
42:23 Yeah, yeah.
42:24 Yeah.
42:26 Okay
42:28 You did better job than me.
42:30 Yeah, okay.
42:31 You can do that next time too.
42:34 All right. All right. All right.
42:35 So, we got that going. Okay.
42:37 You gonna move those back out the way there, Babe.
42:38 Okay. Okay.
42:40 And so, we're gonna go back over here
42:42 as we got that sitting, and we're gonna pay attention
42:44 to what's going on over here.
42:45 I'm gonna bring that milk forward,
42:47 and we're gonna be adding to it...
42:51 So that's a soy milk?
42:52 And usually, yeah, it's usually a little bit longer.
42:54 Gonna put the oil in.
42:57 All this is for this carrot cake.
43:03 Gonna go ahead and add in my sugar...
43:04 Florida crystals.
43:06 Again at a regular grocery store?
43:08 At a regular grocery store. Okay.
43:11 And just gonna add in our vanilla.
43:17 And we're gonna add in that last little bit of water.
43:21 If you can kind of see it a little bit,
43:23 you can see that from the lemon juice
43:25 added to the soy, it kind of gives it,
43:28 kind of a, almost like a chunky
43:32 or buttermilky kind of a texture, okay?
43:36 Now, we're gonna take all of this
43:38 and we're gonna slowly add it to the...
43:41 The flour mix.
43:42 Yeah.
43:44 I like to have you pour anyway, so...
43:47 Okay.
43:48 Slowly.
43:50 Slowly.
43:51 Can be too slow with this. Go ahead.
43:53 All right.
43:54 Go ahead.
43:56 Okay.
43:57 Keep on.
44:00 Go ahead.
44:02 'Cause I'm gonna use the blender
44:04 in a few minutes anyway.
44:05 Okay.
44:06 Oh, goody, I want it, here's some goodies, goodies.
44:09 Need a spatula or what?
44:12 Go ahead. I need spatula.
44:14 Get all the goodies.
44:16 You know somebody,
44:17 we were doing a show one time and somebody saw,
44:19 he was telling about their daughter.
44:20 She gets all her stuff out
44:22 when she knows that Abundant Living
44:23 is coming along, and she says, "Get all the goodies out."
44:26 That is so funny.
44:27 I think she puts her hand on her hip.
44:29 Does she put her hand on her hip?
44:30 Yes, she does. Put her hand on her hip too.
44:31 And, you know, he going to the side
44:33 and I know, that's all he did.
44:35 I don't know but her mummy says,
44:37 she does a whole lot.
44:38 I wonder if somebody actually mimics you, Curtis.
44:41 I don't know, Honey. I don't know.
44:42 Okay, let's get that blender.
44:44 I'd hate to see myself. Get the hand mixer.
44:46 Oh, let's get the hand mixer.
44:47 The hand mixer's ready to go.
44:49 Because we're gonna use the hand mixer to go ahead on
44:51 and get this nice and smooth and even.
44:54 Okay. All right.
44:56 On a low first. Then move it up.
44:57 I wanna be little high.
44:59 No, let's do on low first
45:00 so it won't pop all over the place.
45:01 Okay.
45:03 Ready?
45:04 Go ahead slow.
45:07 Just go all the way around.
45:13 Put a little bit closer to you.
45:18 Okay, now you can turn it up a little bit more.
45:21 All right.
45:22 Now, how high can this go?
45:24 Not very high, because I know you.
45:27 Now I wouldn't even like attempt the Tutmac. Okay.
45:29 What I want you to do is it kind of go around the bowl.
45:31 Okay, round and okay, here you go.
45:34 Round around. Round around.
45:36 What's the super duper speed?
45:39 No, it's not a super duper speed
45:40 on that hand mixer.
45:41 Go around. Okay, let me turn it.
45:43 One more notch, honey?
45:45 Go round.
45:46 Okay, Curtis, you can go one more notch.
45:48 You want to go one more. Oh, yeah!
45:49 One more notch. Bam!
45:51 Curtis, we don't want that. You'll spill it all over, Baby.
45:53 Oh, okay.
45:54 I got kind of carried away, Baby.
45:56 Yes, you did. Yes, you did.
45:57 Okay.
46:00 All right, that's a good mix.
46:01 Okay. Okay.
46:02 So now what we're gonna do is we're gonna put the carrots in.
46:04 No, no, you can hold on to that.
46:06 I want you to go one more time, you gonna do low though.
46:07 Just gonna do it low. Low.
46:09 All right, there's two cups of the carrots.
46:12 High is fun.
46:14 I know, but you cannot use high
46:16 when you're making a carrot cake
46:17 'cause you're gonna put too much speed in there,
46:19 it's gonna mess up the cake as this stuff will be rising.
46:22 Yes, dear. Slow.
46:23 Slow, turn in now?
46:25 Go ahead.
46:26 Well, this or me?
46:28 That. This?
46:29 That.
46:31 Is that low?
46:32 It's low as it can get.
46:34 Otherwise it will be stopping.
46:36 Oh, me.
46:39 Alrighty.
46:43 So it's actually gonna move that in there
46:44 and then the next one's gonna go in.
46:48 Okay, that's enough for that.
46:50 All right.
46:52 Let's scrape around the edges here
46:53 because you know I need, I need my carrot.
46:56 I need the pan,
46:58 I'm gonna be using my Bundt pan.
46:59 Oh, you want me to get that?
47:01 Yes, I need you to go ahead and get that.
47:02 And where's the pan at? Right, over on the table.
47:03 Okay, now, what's the size?
47:05 I want to make sure I get the right pan now?
47:06 There's only one pan that you can cake in.
47:07 There's only one.
47:09 Is it Bundt pan? Uh- huh.
47:10 Okay, you wanna hold this so it won't drop.
47:11 Okay, I'll hold this.
47:13 And I'll be back, okay? Okay.
47:14 And try not to talk about me while I'm gone.
47:16 I will try not to. You wanna try real hard.
47:17 I'm gonna try not to talk about you.
47:18 Okay.
47:20 But I could tell you
47:21 a couple of things while he's gone.
47:23 But I'm gonna really not say too much
47:24 because after all, you might call him
47:26 and say something too.
47:28 Hi, Honey.
47:29 I heard something. I heard some whispering.
47:31 Did you heard some whispering? Yeah.
47:33 Okay, we're finished with this.
47:34 Oh, okay. Gonna unplug this.
47:36 Yes, you can go and unplug it.
47:37 All right. All right.
47:39 Let me go ahead and put in our...
47:42 Putting our raisins,
47:44 and we're gonna also put in our walnuts.
47:49 All right.
47:51 And this is great, I wanna stir it now.
47:56 Okay.
47:57 Now you sure, I don't need a blender for that?
47:59 There's no blender.
48:00 At this point we are good.
48:02 All right, this is our Bundt pan
48:04 we're gonna be using,
48:05 and we're going to...
48:07 Does need to be coated?
48:09 I think I had my spray that I'm gonna be using.
48:12 Okay.
48:13 So I'll just go ahead on and do that now.
48:16 Why you're running?
48:18 Yeah, because it's pointed towards me.
48:19 No, it's pointed towards the pan.
48:22 You know you're funny, okay. You know you're funny.
48:24 Oh, okay. Now I'm close up.
48:25 I'm close up. Right there.
48:27 Okay, now we're gonna go ahead on and spoon in...
48:30 Hold it.
48:32 Okay.
48:33 All right.
48:35 Now, we're gonna go ahead and just put in there.
48:39 Honey, hush.
48:41 Now this will work here.
48:43 I love this cake.
48:44 It is so good,
48:46 and it has this beautiful orange ice
48:48 and it goes on top of it.
48:49 I'm gonna use my spatula now
48:52 to get all the goodies out.
48:55 Now this in oven for...?
48:57 This goes in the oven at 350 degrees.
49:01 And it sits there for one hour.
49:03 One hour. One hour.
49:05 And you're gonna see that at the end of the program,
49:06 mm-hmm...
49:08 It is ready to consume. Yeah, ready to consume.
49:10 We're gonna put something on top of this or what?
49:11 Yeah, we're gonna put our ice on top.
49:12 Oh, I see.
49:14 Put all your stuff in there.
49:17 That's it. Okay.
49:19 And normally,
49:20 what I do also is just kind of make,
49:22 shake your pan a little bit
49:24 to make sure that it's evenly distributed.
49:26 Otherwise the cake's gonna come out uneven, okay?
49:29 And you're gonna go ahead on and put into our oven.
49:33 Okay. Okay?
49:34 At 350 did you say?
49:36 At 350 degrees for one hour.
49:38 Top one, Baby,
49:39 that's where I got lit up already.
49:40 Oh, there we go,
49:42 it's already nice and heated and ready to go.
49:43 Or maybe the strapping is too for this one.
49:45 Kept that on in there.
49:46 Okay.
49:49 All right. Three Fifty.
49:50 Okay. One hour.
49:51 Now, we got an icing that goes with that cake.
49:53 Oh, okay.
49:54 So let's look at the ingredients for the icing.
49:56 All right, let's do it.
50:13 Okay, so this is the icing.
50:16 Why are you laughing, Honey.
50:18 This is the icing that's actually gonna go
50:19 on the carrot cake...
50:21 The carrot cake, the icing.
50:22 That's in the oven baking.
50:24 That's in the oven baking at this moment.
50:25 And, you know,
50:27 I mentioned about tofu and I said it firm,
50:29 but understand too,
50:31 the tofus have different textures.
50:33 So you have the firm, the extra firm,
50:35 and then you have the silken group.
50:36 In the silken group you have the firm
50:38 and then also soft, okay?
50:40 So these are very important
50:41 because if you're doing a sauce and you're using regular tofu,
50:45 you're not gonna be happy
50:46 because it's gonna be real gritty.
50:47 So the silken one actually has a silken texture basically.
50:50 Now, silken meaning Mori-Nu tofu?
50:52 Silken, no, no, no, no.
50:54 Not Mori-Nu, not the brand.
50:56 No, right, just plain silken.
50:58 Silken? It's gonna be silken.
50:59 You wanna make sure that word
51:01 is called silken tofu is written on there.
51:02 Okay. Okay?
51:04 And so that's what we have here.
51:05 We have a firm, silken tofu
51:07 and you see it's got that sheen on it.
51:09 Yeah.
51:10 So it has like a shine on it.
51:12 So now, do you use these type of tofus like
51:14 for your pudding, sauces...
51:16 Milkshakes, puddings, sauces, cream base, silken group.
51:21 All right, that's smoother. Okay.
51:23 We're also gonna be using, Curtis,
51:26 a soy cream cheese.
51:30 Okay, now, and that can be also purchased
51:32 at the regular grocery store?
51:34 At the regular grocery store, this is where I got it.
51:35 Yep, this is a cream cheese and,
51:36 because we're not gonna be using regular cream cheese,
51:38 yet carrot cakes call for cream cheese.
51:41 So this is a plant based cholesterol free dessert
51:45 for Thanksgiving.
51:47 Is that right?
51:48 Yes. Okay.
51:49 So we gonna open this up. Okay.
51:51 And you're gonna go ahead on and put in,
51:52 let's give you the spatula.
51:53 Let's go ahead on and put in the...
51:57 the silken tofu first.
51:58 Okay.
52:00 Okay.
52:01 Want to put that in.
52:04 And then, we're gonna kind of move it around
52:06 a little bit there.
52:08 Okay.
52:09 Okay. And you got...
52:11 Do you have any more goodies in there?
52:12 Okey-dokey.
52:14 And then what's next?
52:15 Okay, let's just go ahead
52:17 and we're gonna ahead and pop it up.
52:18 Or just do this, okay. All right.
52:19 Take that and spin that first.
52:22 Okay.
52:24 Now, what's gonna happen...
52:26 We know what's gonna happen is you're gonna spin it
52:27 and then I'm gonna take the top off.
52:29 Oh, you gonna... Okay.
52:30 And then I'm gonna be adding to it.
52:31 I'm gonna add in the orange juice,
52:34 the cream cheese, and the honey.
52:35 Okay, so. How about that?
52:37 All right.
52:38 So go ahead and start spinning.
52:57 Some cheese.
53:25 And now, I'm gonna stir this a little bit.
53:27 Oh, okay.
53:29 So it's getting that kind of a...
53:30 Does smell good?
53:31 Okay, it's nice and creamy now.
53:33 You got to have a creamy, it's like a sauce,
53:34 it goes over top of that.
53:36 It's not a real thick topping.
53:38 Okay. Okay.
53:39 So I'm gonna do one more time and then,
53:41 I'm gonna let you go ahead on
53:42 slowly add in honey, how about that?
53:43 Turn it on real slow to back on here.
53:45 All right.
54:07 Coming down to the wire.
54:09 Let's see that? Let's see how that looks?
54:12 Let me just get my spoon.
54:15 Okay.
54:16 So we kind of see the texture of it.
54:17 This is nice texture. See?
54:20 Yeah, that's, there you go. Nice texture.
54:22 Okay. Okay.
54:23 And that's gonna go...
54:25 I'm gonna tell you two things that I didn't, one is that,
54:27 it can go with a carrot cake as you serve it up.
54:30 Okay.
54:32 Or you can put over the top of the carrot cake,
54:33 either way, all right?
54:34 Either way, right. All right.

55:32 Well... All right.
55:33 We have completed...
55:35 Team Eakins. That's right.
55:36 Team Eakins.
55:37 Completes our Thanksgiving buffet.
55:41 Oh, buffet, meal buffets?
55:43 Whole meal ready for inviting our friends
55:46 when our friends and family come over.
55:47 That's right.
55:49 And like I said before taking things out to individuals
55:51 or someone asked you to bring something.
55:52 You don't bring any one of these, okay.
55:54 Oh, we're grateful. We're thankful.
55:55 We're thankful and grateful. There you go.
55:57 So we have accomplished our holiday meatloaf.
56:00 Okay.
56:01 And the holiday meatloaf actually has a mushroom gravy
56:04 that goes over top of it
56:06 as you slice and put it up there.
56:07 It looks meaty too, Baby. All right.
56:09 And then we've done the redskin mashed potatoes.
56:13 And this is the red potatoes with the skin still on.
56:17 Very, very attractive looking.
56:19 Garnished with parsley. Is that parsley?
56:20 With parsley, yes, uh-huh. Okay.
56:22 And then we did our green beans and they're festive,
56:26 'cause they've got that yellow and the yellow,
56:31 and also the onions and orange,
56:34 all the different combinations in there
56:35 to go with that peppers as well.
56:37 Make a little bit more festive for Thanksgiving.
56:39 And then we've done our carrot cake.
56:42 Mm-hmm.
56:43 And it is ready to go, carrot cake,
56:44 got nuts on top of it, walnuts.
56:47 And we've got our special sauce because if you notice,
56:49 I didn't cover the entire thing
56:51 that's because when you go to slice your piece,
56:53 then you take some sauce and pour over top of that.
56:55 You know what I'm saying.
56:56 We got some extra sauce on the side.
56:58 Got extra sauce on the side with that as well.
56:59 Oozing on down the side, so it looks lovely.
57:01 Yes, yes.
57:02 And so, when we talk about Thanksgiving,
57:04 things to be thankful for,
57:06 things to thank not only God for each year
57:09 and each Thanksgiving,
57:10 but also for family and friends.
57:12 And like I said before, if you've got individuals
57:15 that are not able to have a Thanksgiving
57:17 because of some maybe a passing of someone in their family,
57:20 then why not go and visit with them.
57:22 All right.
57:23 As always, John 10:10, Jesus said,
57:25 "I come that they might have life
57:28 and have it more abundantly."
57:32 See you next time.
