01:09 Hello, I am Idalia Dinzey,
01:11 and I am in the 3ABN Today Kitchen
01:14 with Chef Carin Lynch.
01:18 Welcome. Oh, thank you. Thank you.
01:21 It's good to be back. How's that?
01:22 Exactly.
01:23 We are so excited to be in your home today.
01:26 Thank you for tuning in to your ministry 3ABN.
01:30 We're excited because the Lord has been good and faithful
01:33 in our lives.
01:34 And He is good and faithful in your life, too.
01:37 During this program, we are going to celebrate life.
01:41 We're going to have some special recipes.
01:43 Could you please talk to us about what kind of recipes
01:46 we're going to be making?
01:48 Well, we're gonna be doing plant-based recipes.
01:50 Plant-based recipes.
01:51 What does that mean?
01:53 Well, you know, I think a lot of times people think like,
01:56 oh, when we take meat products out, we should just be vegan.
02:00 But I've learned over the course of years
02:03 that a vegan diet,
02:05 it does take animal products out,
02:06 but it doesn't necessarily put in healthy foods.
02:09 And the second thing is that it,
02:11 you know, it sometimes has a connotation
02:14 of maybe Far Eastern religions or different things like that.
02:17 But what we want to do is we want to embrace
02:19 a plant-based diet, a plant-based diet,
02:21 meaning taking out animal products,
02:23 but incorporating healthy whole foods.
02:26 So whole food plant-based is what our goal is.
02:28 Amen. Very good and very clear.
02:31 Well, for your knowledge, I just want you to know
02:34 that she can speak with authority
02:35 because she is certified nutritionist.
02:38 Tell us about yourself?
02:39 I am, I have a certificate in plant-based nutrition
02:42 from Cornell University Center for nutritional studies.
02:45 I also have taken the culinary program
02:48 through the Ruby international cooking school
02:51 called Forks Over Knives.
02:53 So I concentrated on whole food plant-based culinary arts.
02:57 Excellent, excellent. Yeah.
02:59 Forks Over Knives was documentary, wasn't it?
03:01 Yes, correct.
03:02 Yes, and a lot of people know about it, too.
03:03 So when I say that, they're like,
03:05 oh, it's kind of perks them up.
03:06 They're like, Oh, wait a second.
03:07 I'm familiar.
03:09 So it kind of, you know, kind of, you know,
03:11 resonates with people.
03:12 Yep. Very good.
03:13 Well, folks, it's amazing
03:15 how many things you can serve at a party,
03:18 but the time is limited.
03:20 It's only one hour program today.
03:22 So we will share about five recipes,
03:25 maybe six recipes with you during this hour.
03:28 But I want to let you know just pay attention to the tips
03:31 that she's sharing nutritional information
03:34 that she will be sharing with us,
03:35 Chef Carin will be sharing with us
03:38 because we are offering you the free recipes
03:41 by just visiting our website at 3abn.tv
03:45 or you can download the app 3ABN plus
03:48 and you can get all the information
03:50 from all the channels that we have available.
03:53 But also we're gonna go later on in the program,
03:56 we're going to take time to share
03:57 the contact information.
03:59 Let them know.
04:01 Are you available to do seminars in the churches
04:03 in different communities?
04:05 Absolutely.
04:06 You know, part of the ministry my husband
04:07 and I are the North American Division Directors
04:09 for LIGHT Ministry.
04:11 And LIGHT is the Lay Institute for Global Health Training.
04:13 So we travel all over the United States
04:16 and worldwide too,
04:17 so if somebody wants us overseas or in the Caribbean,
04:20 we go.
04:21 Hey, I'll go with you. There you go.
04:22 All turns light. That's right.
04:24 We will go and we will do programs
04:27 with health emphasis,
04:29 teaching about medical missionary work,
04:30 teaching about hydrotherapy, massage, cooking schools
04:33 and disease and treatment.
04:35 We do a little bit of everything in order
04:36 to excite and encourage the church to embrace
04:40 health evangelism
04:42 to reach their community for Jesus Christ.
04:43 Excellent. Excellent.
04:45 Well, we're gonna have fun this hour
04:47 because we're gonna party away
04:49 with some plant-based family party made easy recipe.
04:54 Yep.
04:56 Now, we're ready to go to the first recipe I told,
04:59 like I said, you can take pictures of the screen
05:02 so you have the recipe or you can simply visit our website,
05:05 3ABN.tv.
05:07 Please, let's go through the menu
05:10 what we're going to prepare today.
05:11 So I'm going to read the menu for you,
05:13 but you're going to enjoy the looks of these dishes like
05:16 the creamy spinach and artichoke dip.
05:19 Look at that.
05:20 Doesn't that look appetizing?
05:22 Very nice presentation.
05:24 Also, our choice, a different choice word, cheese dip.
05:28 This is a potato cheese dip as you can see, oh my...
05:33 We're going to find out
05:34 how we're going to use this cheese in this party.
05:37 Now we're going to prepare some Baja black bean bites,
05:42 Baja black bean bites.
05:45 And we're going to prepare some garlic hummus.
05:48 That's right.
05:50 Garlic hummus is very something very familiar,
05:53 but very good at parties.
05:55 Now carob brownie buttons.
05:58 That looks like a fun recipe, doesn't it?
06:00 And, of course, we're gonna hit it hard this party away
06:04 with salted caramel popcorn.
06:07 This is all vegan and plant-based cooking.
06:12 So how about if we go to the first recipe?
06:14 Sure, let's go. Yeah. You're ready?
06:15 Let's make the creamy spinach and artichoke dip.
06:44 You know, I've been to restaurants
06:47 because they offer appetizers.
06:50 And I just love the artichoke, spinach artichoke creamy dips.
06:56 And I didn't realize because I didn't make it
07:00 a habit to read the labels.
07:01 Sure.
07:03 And, of course, now that you have this recipe here,
07:05 it has encouraged me like, wow, forget those restaurants,
07:09 I can prepare my own plant-based one.
07:11 Yes.
07:12 And when you see how simple it is, again,
07:14 yeah, it's parties made simple.
07:15 If you're going to have a party,
07:17 you want to make it simple for you.
07:18 You want to enjoy your company, right?
07:20 So let's make this easy.
07:22 So you're going to...
07:23 I'm going to start with the spinach.
07:24 We're going to put that right in bowl and I drained this now.
07:27 I want to tell something interesting about spinach.
07:29 You know, this is...
07:31 I want it frozen thawed.
07:33 And drained but I drained it really well,
07:34 actually took my fist and drained out the water,
07:37 squeezed it completely.
07:38 Now I'm using a frozen spinach.
07:41 You know, the frozen spinach is actually the...
07:45 I would say the best deal in your,
07:47 in your frozen food section in the store.
07:49 You know, do you have...
07:50 Did you ever buy fresh spinach before?
07:52 Oh, yes, yes, of course. Okay.
07:53 So when you buy fresh spinach
07:55 and you want to use fresh spinach
07:56 and you want to cook it, right?
07:58 You buy this much spinach, right? It comes to nothing.
08:00 And then you get this much on your plate.
08:01 Yes, that's right. Okay.
08:03 But when they do frozen spinach,
08:04 they blanch it ahead of time,
08:06 and then they fret flash freeze it.
08:08 So it's already shrunk.
08:09 So for $69 you're getting
08:12 what you get versus this much for,
08:15 you know $10.
08:16 Now I'm a proponent of fresh foods.
08:20 So don't think I'm just telling you not to eat fresh spinach.
08:22 Right, right.
08:23 However, this is a great opportunity
08:25 to save a couple dollars too.
08:27 That's wonderful too. We got our spinach.
08:29 Today I'm using some plant-based parmesan cheese.
08:34 Now you can buy this in usually like a health food store,
08:36 whole foods, something like that.
08:38 But you could use if you like,
08:39 if you didn't want to use something
08:41 that was already processed a little bit.
08:43 You could use nutritional yeast flakes,
08:44 it works beautifully in it.
08:46 And nutritional yeast flakes is good
08:48 because it's got wide vitamins.
08:50 It has B, it's fortified with B vitamins.
08:53 What they do is they make them yeast by, they take,
08:57 you know, molasses or sugar, grow the yeast, dry it,
09:01 grind it, and then they fortify it with B vitamins.
09:03 So we have a condiment that tastes cheesy and delicious.
09:06 But at the same time, it has a nutritional value
09:10 with our B12 especially.
09:11 B12, exactly, because people say well,
09:14 you're plant-based, you're missing some minerals
09:16 and what about your B12.
09:18 That's right. They say it all the time.
09:20 And you know, it's funny,
09:21 people that are not plant-based are also B12 deficient.
09:23 And that's, that's kind of because
09:25 we've kind of ravaged our earth,
09:27 you know, we have all the microbes
09:29 is where the B12 comes from.
09:30 And that's where our plants get the B12.
09:31 And that's where our food gets the B12 when we eat it.
09:34 However, if we ruin the soil,
09:36 we certainly, when we ruin the soil,
09:38 we certainly have taken out that B12.
09:40 So it's nice to get it in something like
09:42 a condiment, right like that.
09:43 Great. Okay. All right.
09:45 What's next?
09:46 We have our artichokes and I just have canned
09:48 artichokes here.
09:49 You could use, actually could use frozen.
09:50 I didn't put that in the recipe but you could use frozen
09:52 if you wanted to.
09:53 We have our plant-based mayo.
09:56 And, you know, more and more options are available
09:59 for plant-based mayo, plant-based cheeses,
10:02 and the parmesan.
10:04 Well, you know, actually, I have like in my cookbook,
10:06 I have three mayo recipes.
10:08 Oh, wonderful. Yeah.
10:09 One's made with soy, one's made with nuts,
10:11 and then I have one made with aquafaba,
10:13 which we're going to talk about in a little while.
10:14 Oh, yes, aquafaba.
10:16 I have some garlic powder here and we make sure
10:17 that's all in there and a little lemon juice.
10:19 Very good.
10:21 And all we need to do here is mix it up really good.
10:23 Mix it up good.
10:25 This dip is actually good for, you can heat it.
10:28 So if you wanted a warm dip you can get,
10:30 it's great cold though.
10:32 But if you wanted a warm one, you could heat it up.
10:35 And you probably just put it in a little crock pot, huh?
10:38 Sure. Did make a nice hot dip.
10:39 Right. Yeah.
10:41 And you can have some like tortilla chips
10:42 or whatever with the hot dip.
10:43 Pita. Pita. That's right.
10:46 Also, you can also use this where you made a loaf,
10:51 bread dough.
10:53 Yes. Roll it out.
10:54 And you can make a like bread braid or a roll,
10:56 you put it filled and you bake that in the oven.
10:59 Sounds good to me. That is an option.
11:01 Are you making that today too?
11:02 That's not, no, we are going to use the bread dough.
11:03 Because I thought it would be a good idea
11:05 to put it in if we're going to use it as a cold dip.
11:07 Right. Let's put it in the bread bowl.
11:09 So, I made a little bread bowl there, so we have...
11:12 Very nice. It's gonna stick that in there.
11:14 Yes. That looks great.
11:17 That's simple and nice.
11:18 People eat with their eyes, right?
11:20 So let's make it pretty. Oh, yes, yes.
11:21 We can load it up. That's right.
11:23 That's what I'm doing. That looks really yummy.
11:27 Very delicious.
11:28 Oh, yeah.
11:30 Pour it in more.
11:33 Almost got it all.
11:35 There we go.
11:37 It looks great.
11:38 Oh, that's okay.
11:39 There we go.
11:41 It looks gourmet that way. How's that?
11:42 Oh, gorgeous. It looks great.
11:45 Just six recipes, in six ingredients
11:48 and you have this creamy spinach artichoke dip.
11:52 Well, I am ready to continue partying, Sister.
11:55 What's the next recipe that we're going?
11:57 Okay.
11:58 We're gonna start with our second recipe
12:01 which is going to be our potato cheese dip.
12:40 Very well, this is another option
12:42 for your cheese selection
12:44 homemade plant-based cheese.
12:46 So potato...
12:47 We're going to do a potato cheese.
12:50 Now the nice thing about this is for people
12:52 that have nut allergies
12:53 because a lot of plant-based cheeses can be,
12:56 you know, made with like cashew cheese,
12:58 which I do at home all the time. Right.
12:59 Sometimes you have somebody who is...
13:01 Is allergic to cashews. Exactly.
13:02 And also this is actually a little cheaper option
13:04 because cashews can be a little pricey.
13:06 So what we did is I chopped up some potatoes,
13:10 some carrots and onions.
13:11 Let me peek in there. Oh, you can peek.
13:13 Oh, yeah. Yeah.
13:14 Oh, you have your onions in there.
13:15 Everything. Yeah, I have it all in there.
13:17 So you cook it all together. That's right.
13:18 So we're boiling that up.
13:20 We're getting that so they soften up,
13:21 so I've already started them,
13:23 and we should be almost ready to go in a minute.
13:26 So what we'll do is we'll...
13:28 Oh, yeah. They're just about soft.
13:31 So let me just make sure. Oh, I think we're good.
13:33 You see here.
13:35 So make sure your potatoes are cooked all the way
13:38 and your carrots.
13:39 And so you're gonna have this creamy,
13:41 like natural type of thing or thicker?
13:43 Well, this is gonna just be,
13:45 it's gonna be like a cheese sauce.
13:46 It's gonna be pourable. Okay.
13:47 But it's also going to be,
13:49 you can serve this not only hot,
13:50 you can also serve it cold. Oh, wonderful.
13:51 So actually it's so tasty cold.
13:53 So it's good,
13:55 because we're gonna actually use this cheese sauce
13:57 for another recipe, you'll see.
13:59 Oh, okay.
14:00 And you'll see in our next segment,
14:01 what we're gonna do,
14:03 but I think we're almost ready for that.
14:04 But I'm gonna start putting in these ingredients.
14:05 And then that should, that should be done in a shortly.
14:08 So I have some olive oil here.
14:09 I'm going to put the olive oil in.
14:11 This is going to, you know, cheese has a fattiness to it.
14:13 Yes.
14:14 And so this is going to kind of mimic that
14:16 and get on 'cause of that extra virgin olive oil
14:17 which is only one I use the cold pressed.
14:19 Yes, cold pressed.
14:20 Nutritional yeast flakes that we talked about before.
14:22 That's right, the B12 vitamins.
14:24 We're gonna put those in.
14:25 Yes.
14:27 Okay, have some water here.
14:29 Have enough to make that a nice smooth.
14:31 How long does this hold for?
14:33 You mean for like in the refrigerator?
14:34 In the refrigerator.
14:35 Oh, yeah, you know, they really say
14:37 that we should try to keep foods like
14:38 three to five days at the most,
14:40 but if you cover something really well in like
14:42 a good sealed container,
14:43 it may last for a little longer.
14:45 But trust me when you make this and it tastes so good,
14:47 it's not going to last.
14:48 That's what happen, so.
14:50 I have some lemon juice here.
14:52 Cheese again has a little tartness,
14:53 that little sharpness to it.
14:55 So we're gonna do chicken style seasoning.
14:57 Now, this is just some herbs mixed together
14:59 and some seasonings kind of give it
15:01 like a little flavor.
15:02 We have some garlic powder, let me shrink that all out.
15:06 We wanna make sure our flavor of our cheese is good.
15:09 We have some onion powder.
15:14 So we get onion powder and the actual onion in.
15:17 You're gonna put it both in. That's right.
15:19 And then lastly, we are going to have some salt
15:21 when we get the Himalayan pink salt.
15:23 We talked about that on another show, so.
15:26 Yes. That's right.
15:28 You've recorded various programs here at 3ABN.
15:31 Yeah.
15:33 So it's a good time to invite you to our 3ABN YouTube channel
15:36 that's available and you can see a lot
15:38 of the cooking programs there.
15:40 All right.
15:41 So I think this is just about done.
15:43 Because like I said, we had gotten this started,
15:45 and I think we're good to blend.
15:47 All right.
15:49 So I'm gonna turn this off and just gonna drain everybody
15:52 have a little.
15:53 Just turned up the other direction, Chef.
15:54 There you go.
15:56 I just didn't turn it off, turn it off completely.
16:01 There it is. She's got it.
16:03 So you drain it?
16:04 I'm going to drain the water out. Okay.
16:06 So I just have a little tiny colander here.
16:07 You can go to the sink and do this too.
16:09 But I figured we're right here.
16:11 Why don't we just use this little cute little colander?
16:13 Yeah, it is. It's adorable, right?
16:15 I love kitchen gadgets.
16:16 It makes the work in the kitchen more fun.
16:19 It does.
16:20 You know, I used to be a big gadget person
16:22 and I have so many.
16:23 I've learned though to also be resourceful
16:25 with other things in my house too.
16:27 Sometimes when I do like patties
16:28 I'll use the canning lids,
16:31 you know, so now I've been much more resourceful.
16:34 So we're just gonna...
16:35 Very good.
16:38 Here we go.
16:39 It's all going in the blender. That's right.
16:41 Little bit water's in there, but just don't want it to...
16:43 Look, we're losing a potato there.
16:45 Oh, that's okay. One potato, two potato.
16:48 That was a good nursery rhyme, right?
16:51 Little game for the children. All right.
16:54 Now we need to do is blend. Okay.
16:57 Do you want to do that? That would be great.
16:59 You might need the temper for that.
17:00 Yes, we have the temper and the lid, right?
17:53 It's good. Yeah, I think so.
17:54 All right.
17:57 There you go. All right.
18:01 So we've a nice cheesy, saucy. Beautiful.
18:04 Now I know people who have nut allergies.
18:06 We've used this for mac and cheese, too.
18:09 So you can do that as well.
18:11 And so I'm just going to come over here
18:13 to just scrape this out a little bit.
18:14 Hate to waste. Go for it.
18:16 And we will pour our cheese sauce in there
18:19 and have a great dip.
18:20 Yes.
18:22 This is amazing.
18:23 Isn't it funny how these items ingredients
18:26 that we use them every day, we never think of,
18:29 you know, making a cheese sauce out of it,
18:32 look how rich and creamy that is.
18:35 Potatoes, onions carrots
18:37 usually have in your house anyway.
18:38 How easy is that? I love it.
18:41 Very nice.
18:43 So definitely you will save a lot of money.
18:47 And not only that,
18:48 that this is such a healthy alternative.
18:51 Very good.
18:53 Wow, this is very inviting, very tempting too,
18:56 but I'll behave.
18:57 Let's go to the next recipe. All right.
19:01 The next recipe that we're preparing for you
19:03 is the Baja black bean bites.
19:06 What do we need?
19:49 This is a very nice treat these bytes.
19:52 How do we make them? You know what?
19:54 This is actually the first recipe
19:56 that I ever put together and developed.
19:59 Wow! It is.
20:00 My friend, I saw it in a recipe contest and I said,
20:03 oh, I'm gonna do something vegetarian.
20:05 Right.
20:06 And so and now I've made it plant-based
20:07 because I was vegetarian at the time.
20:09 But as I transitioned to more plant-based,
20:11 I made it a plant-based recipe, and it is amazing.
20:14 I love this recipe. Oh, it's a winner.
20:15 All right, very good. What do we do first?
20:17 We're gonna start with wonton wrappers.
20:19 You can buy these like any food store in the produce section.
20:22 Yes. And they're vegan.
20:23 That's right.
20:25 So the good news is that you can use those,
20:26 you know, and we're gonna take a little olive oil.
20:29 The wonton wrappers are like for, like, egg rolls section.
20:33 Asian, right, Asian cooking, like the wontons they use
20:36 so I just take them and put them on a plate here.
20:38 We're going to put some olive oil,
20:40 so I'm just going to put them over here
20:43 so you can see them here.
20:44 Okay.
20:46 And I'm just gonna make some little cups,
20:48 you'll see what I do.
20:50 Yeah, I just lay them flat,
20:51 because I'm gonna just put one side of them
20:53 with some olive oil.
20:55 So we're gonna just brush it lightly.
20:57 You see like that. Just makes it easier.
20:59 I do it on a plate, like this.
21:04 And right like that.
21:06 Then I take them.
21:08 It's like an assembly line project.
21:10 It is a little bit. I put the little oil and...
21:13 But so well worth it.
21:14 So you can get everybody involved,
21:16 you know, like you said one person,
21:18 and I'm just sticking them in this mini muffin tin.
21:20 Okay.
21:21 This thing comes in handy, this little muffin tin.
21:23 You'll see because I have another recipe
21:24 we're using the tin.
21:25 And I just kind of take them and make a little cup,
21:27 I take my finger and I kind of press them down
21:29 and make a little cup there.
21:31 I am watching your every move there.
21:33 It's so easy.
21:35 You just gonna do this
21:36 and pop them in like this and...
21:38 It's nice.
21:39 So that's what makes it the bite size.
21:41 Well, that's right, 'cause it's like a little bite.
21:43 That's right.
21:44 And so we can keep doing this or we can actually,
21:47 I did some already in the oven. All right.
21:49 So what you want to do is you brush them all,
21:51 put them up and put them in and you do 24.
21:53 This little thing, just 24.
21:54 And then we have and I'll move this over because this one...
21:58 All right. Over here.
22:00 I will move this one over here.
22:01 The ones that are already made.
22:04 And we'll pull these out. Yes.
22:06 I like a colorful recipe. So much fun.
22:11 And if you have kids,
22:12 you can put them to work with you.
22:14 Your husband, your children, your mom, your visitor,
22:18 your friends.
22:19 Make cooking fun at home, guys.
22:22 Don't give up. It could be fun.
22:24 So small changes, great results.
22:28 All right, nice. Let me shut this.
22:30 So the tips are nice and brown, that's when it's done.
22:35 Sure.
22:36 I just had that at 350 degrees for about five minutes.
22:39 And then you're gonna see that they're these little cups
22:41 again you can see.
22:43 See how they're like a little cup.
22:44 Oh, yes. All right.
22:45 So now let's make our filling.
22:47 Okay. Filling is so easy.
22:49 We're gonna take some plant-based cream cheese.
22:51 Like you can buy this in the store
22:53 or you can actually make your own
22:54 if you have a recipe for that because you can use.
22:57 Is that in your cookbook?
22:58 The cream cheese isn't no. Okay.
23:00 I do have a good recipe for it though.
23:01 But it didn't make the cookbook.
23:03 I have almost 100 recipes in there.
23:05 I couldn't put everything in, so.
23:07 And then we had our black beans and we divided that in half.
23:10 We're gonna blend one half of them
23:13 with the cream cheese along with,
23:17 get that out of the way, taco seasoning.
23:20 And you know, that's in my cookbook, actually. Yes.
23:21 We'll put that, let me get this. Nice.
23:23 Let's do that.
23:24 And I'm gonna push this down a little bit.
23:26 So we'll get that going with the,
23:29 with our food processor, so.
23:33 All right. Quite a simple recipe.
23:35 Very simple, but very flavorful.
23:37 That's the nice thing about it. Oh yes.
23:38 Let's make sure this is on. Put that in.
23:41 And then we're just gonna pulse this up
23:43 until I actually put it on.
23:45 Starting on low, get it going.
23:47 Nice.
23:53 We want to make sure our beans are blended in
23:55 so we get that flavor.
24:01 I'm gonna just scrape this down a little bit.
24:03 Sometimes with the food processor,
24:04 you need a little scrape.
24:07 So we'll get that. I will let you in this corner.
24:09 Oh, thank you. And in this corner, we have Chef.
24:12 There we go.
24:15 It's my prize fighting day here.
24:17 All right, so this is your very first recipe you created.
24:20 First one I ever did.
24:21 And I actually was a finalist in that contest.
24:24 Yes. So it gave me, I guess a passion.
24:27 My friend Laurie did all of mine.
24:29 She took my videos and we did it.
24:31 We had a great time doing it. Nice.
24:32 All right, so I'm gonna just pulse this up a little bit.
24:34 Okay.
24:40 All right, I think that's good.
24:42 We just want to blend it up
24:43 because we're actually going to mix in.
24:45 So we're going to make it creamy.
24:47 Yeah, it's right, yeah, you just want to make it,
24:49 so it's creamy.
24:50 Are we done with that base? We're done.
24:51 We done with it and I'm done with this stuff.
24:53 I'm just gonna put it away so we can have perfect.
24:55 We'll move this away too.
24:57 So we have a little more room.
24:59 Very good.
25:01 Okay, so I'm just going to take our mixing bowl here
25:06 and scrape in our filling.
25:10 Oh, let me get closer to you, I was distracted.
25:12 No, that's okay. I'm just gonna scrape this.
25:16 I'm just tempted to running my finger on there
25:19 and just tasting it,
25:20 but I won't do that I'll behave.
25:24 It's pretty tasty though, I have to say,
25:25 I can see what a temptation...
25:27 I can see what the temptation might be.
25:29 Very good.
25:31 So it's nice that you leave some whole beans on there
25:34 for texture, for presentation.
25:37 Sure, and like I said, I think it's about the texture,
25:42 flavors, texture, we want to make foods.
25:44 You know, just because we're making
25:46 healthier foods doesn't mean we have to compromise in flavor
25:48 and so and texture like that.
25:51 Quite frankly I've quite a turnoff for vegan cooking
25:55 when we don't see some the food correctly.
25:58 I mean, we're making changes, we're making efforts.
26:01 But you know, we're not putting the flavor in there.
26:05 Exactly.
26:07 Well, you know, if somebody is changing their diet,
26:08 and they want to make these changes,
26:09 especially when you're doing disease treatment,
26:11 you know, you really want to adhere
26:13 to a more plant-based diet.
26:14 You go home and if the food tastes like cardboard,
26:18 or if you don't have good flavors,
26:20 thank you very much.
26:21 I'm not the best scraper. That's okay.
26:24 I am gonna lick the bowl right now.
26:26 I'm just kidding.
26:27 But the thing is, if you don't have good flavors,
26:29 and you're not going to want to eat it,
26:30 your family is not going to want to eat it,
26:32 and you're not going to adhere to a new change in your life.
26:35 So it could be life or death for some people.
26:37 That's true. All right.
26:38 So let's blend.
26:40 I mean mixing, excuse me, these beans.
26:42 Let's put that towards the middle.
26:44 That's right. Thank you.
26:45 Beans and I have some scallions,
26:47 so we're just going to put those in as well.
26:48 That's just going to give a pop of freshness.
26:51 The scallions I like the... Oh, yeah.
26:53 We're just gonna mix that in and get that
26:56 just incorporate it together.
26:57 Is this spoon here for a reason?
26:59 Well... We can spoon it.
27:01 Well, that could be what we're going to do.
27:05 And actually what we need is our,
27:07 our plant-based cheese because we're going to top this
27:10 with our plant-based cheese.
27:11 Oh, okay.
27:13 Well, I'm sure Mary will get it for us. That's right.
27:15 So, we made that in our lab and just you know,
27:18 a little bit ago and now we're going to use it for this.
27:20 All right.
27:21 So we have our teaspoon here.
27:25 So that's the potato cheese that you're gonna use.
27:27 Yes, we're gonna use the potato cheese for this.
27:29 Okay, very good.
27:31 So do you fill 'em up first?
27:32 Or do you have to put the cheese on top?
27:34 We're going to fill them first
27:35 and we're going to top it with our cheese.
27:37 Oh, okay. Very good.
27:39 Right. We'll put this here and lets.
27:42 What's the measuring?
27:43 I'm just using a teaspoon.
27:45 So you know, you just want to fill it to the top here.
27:48 Okay. And you know.
27:49 I guess I should have given you the spatula.
27:51 It's okay. No, it's okay.
27:52 No. Okay.
27:54 We'll just do it like this. We're good.
27:55 Very nice.
27:56 I'm just gonna fill these little cups to the top.
27:59 I can, look at this, I can do it this way.
28:01 Okay. Oh, to the very top.
28:04 Let's, can we put the bowl on the side?
28:06 Sure, sure. So everything.
28:09 Did you can see here?
28:10 I'm just filling them just like that.
28:12 Yes, nice.
28:15 Very good.
28:16 This is a fun size bite too snack for your party.
28:21 That's right.
28:23 And sometimes we don't even know what to serve.
28:24 And most of the times these ingredients are in our pantry,
28:27 we don't realize it.
28:29 Except of course, let's be realistic
28:30 vegan cream cheese.
28:33 Nowaday, when I go to the grocery store,
28:36 I'm impressed as to how many options are there.
28:39 So look for them, go to your local grocery store,
28:43 inquire within.
28:45 And if one store doesn't have it,
28:47 go to the next, don't give up.
28:49 And, of course, nowadays you can purchase everything online
28:52 and have it delivered to your home
28:54 or you can go pick it up.
28:56 So I encourage you to look into it and share your stories,
29:00 send her emails, so we're gonna share your,
29:02 her contact information because she wants to hear
29:05 from you and your family.
29:06 That's right. So, okay.
29:08 So we're just gonna fill... We're gonna fill these up.
29:10 But actually, what we'll do is we'll put this to the side
29:13 because I have some in the oven ready to go.
29:15 All right.
29:17 Now what we would do though, we would take the cheese.
29:20 And let's see now you could use shredded cheese,
29:22 but we've already made this.
29:23 So why not we use this?
29:25 So you're going to just take a little bit and top it.
29:28 And then what we're going to do
29:29 is we would stick this in the oven.
29:30 Yes.
29:32 Okay, for how long at what degree?
29:33 Around five minutes.
29:35 That's it, about 350 for five minutes.
29:37 Okay.
29:38 It's not really been five minutes to do
29:39 the one time represent and five minutes
29:41 to finish the recipe.
29:42 Wow. So this is all we would do.
29:44 We just drop that on there like this.
29:45 And I'm going to go get...
29:46 And we can make this dip ahead of time.
29:48 Of course, and you can actually make these ahead of time too,
29:52 and have them ready and then just put them together
29:54 before everybody shows up.
29:55 Take you five minutes and we're just going
29:57 to grab our other ones.
29:59 Okay.
30:00 Go to the oven and get the ones that you have ready for us.
30:04 Okay.
30:05 She trusted me with a bowl of food over here.
30:08 No, I'm just kidding. But it is true.
30:11 Sometimes we want to make a simple get together.
30:14 Or even if you're fellowship dinner
30:17 and are taking place in your churches,
30:20 this would be a nice dish to take over there.
30:22 Wow! Look at that.
30:25 That's like the miracle of TV, right?
30:27 That looks nice. Yes.
30:28 So what we're gonna do is we're going to top them now.
30:30 I have over here, let's move this out of the way.
30:31 Okay. This is cool, so we're...
30:33 All right. Good.
30:35 And we're going to top them.
30:37 So let's move our cheese away.
30:40 And we've got tons of toppings.
30:42 So we just do whatever, whatever your favorites are.
30:45 Let me put that there.
30:46 I'm just going to put a little cilantro on some.
30:51 I'm going to take maybe a little scallion,
30:56 so everyone can be different,
30:57 so people can try all different flavors and bursts of little...
31:01 Some jalapenos in there too.
31:03 I don't have jalapenos.
31:05 I forgot jalapenos, it's an irritant.
31:08 It's an irritant to the stomach. Yes.
31:10 So we don't have those, but we do have some olives.
31:12 Yeah.
31:14 Very festive looking.
31:17 And yes, I like to do everyone different
31:19 'cause people like different things.
31:20 So here's a little salsa on this one.
31:22 Oh, you're so smart. That's right, little.
31:24 Put that way.
31:26 We'll take some sour cream. Oh, yeah.
31:28 Nice. Some avocado.
31:30 It's a party. Very appetizing.
31:34 And here, I'm gonna leave you some
31:35 since you have them right there.
31:36 Okay, so some get avocados,
31:39 do they all get sour cream or not?
31:41 Here we can put, we can put all different things on them,
31:43 if you want to put sour cream on all, you can.
31:46 Okay. Just put a little.
31:48 Really good.
31:50 So now we have another option for a little party
31:54 get together by embrace.
31:56 There's no reason why we should be missing out
31:58 on really fun snacks at a party, right?
32:01 That's right.
32:02 I think some of these need some cilantros,
32:03 let's put it out there. Okay.
32:05 All right.
32:06 Well, now you guys have the idea at home what to make,
32:09 what can you possibly put on there?
32:11 Maybe you have an idea of something another topping
32:14 for these?
32:16 The Baja black bean bites,
32:19 so they look very festive and very appetizing,
32:21 I must say.
32:23 Well, we're ready for the next recipe.
32:24 Are you at home ready to take down some notes?
32:27 Our next recipe, what is it?
32:58 The garlic hummus is something
33:01 that is very popular in my household
33:03 because we love raw garlic, and we love garbanzo beans.
33:07 So what benefits do we have with the garbanzo beans?
33:10 It's a legume. Well, yeah, of course.
33:12 So they're high fiber, tons of nutrition.
33:14 You know, they're actually blood sugar beans in general,
33:18 our blood sugar regulating,
33:20 so they really help to keep our blood sugar
33:23 especially for people
33:24 who are struggling with diabetes.
33:25 It's a great option.
33:27 But I think that, the highlight is the garlic too. Oh yeah.
33:30 Because garlic, you know, it's antiviral, antibacterial.
33:34 It's anti everything bad for you. Okay.
33:37 It's got the allicin in it, which is just so medicinal,
33:40 it helps lower blood pressure.
33:41 I mean, you can go on and on.
33:43 Some said you really love garlic?
33:44 I love... Well, I'm Italian, so I can't help it.
33:47 I was born with garlic.
33:49 So, yeah, we use a lot of garlic in our household.
33:51 She used to get garlic in her bottles.
33:53 That's right. All right.
33:54 So what do we do here?
33:55 We're gonna start with our chickpeas. Okay.
33:57 So it said dump it recipe.
33:58 Of course, I love it, what is it?
34:00 It's parties made simple. Yes.
34:03 Parties made simple. So let's put these in here.
34:05 So, are these canned beans or can you use dry beans?
34:08 Either way. Either way.
34:09 These are caned today to make it easy for us
34:11 but you can easily do our just dry beans.
34:15 Okay. Then add a little water here.
34:17 Okay.
34:19 It's interesting that there are more
34:20 and more hummus varieties in the store.
34:23 What is that you're putting? Well, this is tahini. Okay.
34:25 I just want to let you know though
34:27 before we finish this recipe,
34:30 you can add so many different things,
34:32 roasted red peppers, beets.
34:33 There's so many different things you can make
34:35 with hummus, whatever your pine nuts.
34:37 This is just the basic garlic hummus,
34:38 but you can put whatever you want in it.
34:41 I'm adding some olive oil. Mm-hmm.
34:44 Very good.
34:46 This is the cold pressed olive oil.
34:48 That's right. It is the first cold pressed.
34:51 This is lemon juice and then, of course,
34:54 our garlic now depending on how garlicly you like it.
34:56 I have three to four cloves.
34:59 We go a little hard, heavier than that but,
35:02 but we do try not to offend.
35:04 You know when you have the garlic as long
35:05 as the other person you're with is eating garlic,
35:07 you should be okay.
35:09 We're gonna have salt here. Let me just get that in.
35:11 And then I have paprika,
35:13 but we're gonna use that as our garnish.
35:14 Oh, okay.
35:15 And all we need to do is blend and since you are...
35:17 That's right, since you're on the blender, it's all yours.
35:19 I'm the driver here. That's right.
35:20 Let's do this.
35:22 Okay, let's go right away with the temper.
35:27 And we'll start on low.
35:29 You know why we start on low?
35:31 No, I just have that now. You want to know why?
35:33 Because you don't want to be the recipient of showers
35:36 of blessings in the wrong way.
35:38 And that's why I have been,
35:40 so that's why I know, we start on low.
36:03 That looks good.
36:07 I was ready to keep rolling with this,
36:09 but it's good already.
36:10 You know what, you're just really trying to get
36:11 the garlic, you know, and then of course texture.
36:13 If you like it a little chunkier,
36:15 then use a food processor if not...
36:17 We're gonna move this over here like this.
36:19 So that we can pour that in there.
36:21 Yes, I can pour for you if you'd like?
36:23 Please, thank you.
36:26 Well, I got on my finger.
36:29 What does that mean?
36:30 I need a piece of pita bread
36:32 so I can get it off my finger now.
36:35 All right, so here we go.
36:37 So this is the, oh, garlic hummus.
36:42 Look at that beauty. Oh, yeah.
36:46 Definitely, it's a very good recipe.
36:51 Look at that. All right.
36:53 How creamy it looks.
36:55 And I like to just take a little paprika.
36:57 Uh-huh.
36:58 And just...
37:00 Oh, yeah.
37:01 Sprinkle here just for aesthetics, right? Yes.
37:03 We like to eat with our eyes.
37:05 So let's make it pretty and festive.
37:07 See the paprika matches the little rim on the bowl.
37:10 See, we like to color coordinate things.
37:12 We saw everything out, improved.
37:13 And then pita chips, I just took a whole wheat pitas
37:16 and cut them into little triangles
37:18 and bake them in the oven.
37:19 And so we have those so they're a nice, healthier,
37:21 whole green version.
37:23 Viola.
37:24 Well, we have more party recipes for you.
37:27 Let's go to the next recipe.
37:29 And what do we have next? Okay.
37:31 So our next recipe is the carob brownie buttons.
38:16 Well, we have a dessert for you.
38:18 And I see we're able to hear from the ingredients
38:22 that we need for these brownies.
38:24 Please walk us through your recipe?
38:25 Okay, we're gonna do carob brownie bites or buttons.
38:30 See I say, I call them bites, 'cause we call it,
38:32 but it's buttons.
38:33 That's right.
38:34 So and the reason why I'm using carob,
38:36 we're not using chocolate.
38:37 Right.
38:38 Because chocolate has some things in it
38:40 that are not good for us.
38:41 Okay. A lot of times dairy products.
38:43 Okay.
38:44 Sometimes they have things called
38:45 theobromine and caffeine.
38:47 These are things that are false stimulants
38:49 to our nervous system.
38:51 Right?
38:52 And so people think, oh, you know,
38:53 caffeine is good for us.
38:55 The fact of the matter is, is caffeine is actually
38:57 something that's going to, you know,
38:59 bring our nervous system to think it's getting nutrition
39:01 and then it realizes it's not.
39:02 So you see people go up, and then they go down.
39:05 So we want to stay away from caffeinated things,
39:06 we want to stay away from theobromine,
39:08 which is just like caffeine as well.
39:09 Theobromine Yes.
39:11 But carob, now carob is so nutritious.
39:13 It's got so many vitamins and nutrients in it.
39:16 And it's just really, it's wonderful replacement.
39:18 It's from the pea pod family. Okay.
39:20 So the pea pod, they grind them up,
39:22 they dry them, grind them up, and it looks like cocoa powder.
39:24 You have it right here. Wow.
39:26 Yeah, it does look like cocoa powder.
39:28 I would have said no, that's chocolate, not cocoa.
39:31 Well, these will be nice and chocolatey, I promise you.
39:33 Okay.
39:34 We have two brown things here, so brown sugar and...
39:37 Ah, that is coconut palm sugar.
39:39 Oh, coconut palm sugar.
39:41 We're using the coconut palm sugar. Yes.
39:43 So what are the benefits of using that?
39:45 Well, you know, it's less processed.
39:47 It's minimally processed sugar.
39:49 It's just the dehydrated, sap from the coconut palm,
39:54 they grind it up, and that's it.
39:55 So it has a nice sweetness.
39:57 It's not as sweet as a refined sugar,
39:59 but it does have a great sweetness and,
40:01 you know, we need to retrain our taste buds
40:03 to actually enjoy things that are not as ultra sweet.
40:07 And so, if we can do that by using something,
40:09 which is healthier for us, and also a little less sweet,
40:12 it kind of hits the, it hits both sense, yep.
40:16 Okay, let's button up then.
40:18 All right, so here's our buttons.
40:19 That's right.
40:20 We'll button up and we'll start cooking.
40:22 So I'm gonna use the coconut palm sugar.
40:23 Okay, nice. All right.
40:26 And we're going to use whole wheat flour.
40:28 Now this is, this is a whole wheat flour,
40:29 but it's a white wheat.
40:31 White whole wheat. That's right.
40:32 A white wheat, meaning that it's the type of wheat
40:34 that it is and its whole grain still, they don't do any kind
40:37 of refining to it.
40:39 And here is our carob powder.
40:41 Now interesting, you'll hear a little story about carob.
40:43 Tell me a story or two.
40:45 I'm still gonna eat it. Remember.
40:47 Do you remember the John the Baptist?
40:48 You've heard him before, right? Yes, yes.
40:50 Well, you remember John the Baptist
40:52 lived in the wilderness.
40:53 What did John the Baptist eat? Carob.
40:55 He did. But people don't know that.
40:57 You see, he had a diet of locusts and wild honey, right?
41:00 Well, this is, carob is actually
41:02 from the locust bush which is in turn locust.
41:06 So John the Baptist actually had a sweet tooth,
41:08 would eat carob and wild honey.
41:10 Together you have candy, right?
41:12 There you go. All right.
41:13 This is my secret ingredient is aquafaba. Aquafaba.
41:16 Now, People will say, what is aquafaba? Yes.
41:19 Aquafaba is actually the liquid from either chickpeas
41:23 or other types of beans.
41:25 Oh.
41:26 And it actually works as an egg replacer.
41:28 Okay. So I'm using this.
41:29 Actually, we made the hummus,
41:30 I just drained some of the liquid
41:33 and we're gonna use that as our egg replacer,
41:35 you know, so that we don't get that cholesterol
41:38 and that animal product, right?
41:40 Now, we're going to use instead of oil,
41:42 we are going to use applesauce.
41:44 Applesauce is a great oil replacer.
41:46 Well, it is a dessert.
41:47 So we want to avoid using the olive oil in a dessert
41:51 because it's cold pressed and the flavor is sharper.
41:55 That's right.
41:56 So and, you know, I primarily only use,
41:59 you know, olive, cold pressed olive oil. Right.
42:00 So in baking and things of that nature,
42:02 it's good to use this.
42:04 Okay. So little baking powder.
42:05 Now, I have a good story about baking powder.
42:07 Sometimes people say oh, we shouldn't use baking powder.
42:09 But you know, I actually found out from a great source that,
42:14 you know, back in, you know, the 1800s...
42:17 What was that? Oh, I'm sorry, this is vanilla.
42:18 I'm gonna put everything in then I'll tell you
42:20 about my baking powder.
42:21 How's that, so I don't forget.
42:22 Little Himalayan pink salt that will bring out
42:24 our sweetness and our flavors,
42:26 and something to bring out a more chocolatey flavor,
42:28 I'm using some coffee substitutes.
42:30 Okay.
42:31 This is just, this is a little Roma. Okay.
42:33 And I'm gonna leave these for after.
42:35 So, while I'm mixing this up,
42:37 I'm going to tell you about baking.
42:39 Tell me the story.
42:40 So in baking powder back in the 1800s,
42:42 did you know that women actually had to put baking soda
42:45 and a food acid together to make baking powder
42:48 in their own home?
42:49 And the problem that they faced was that baking soda
42:52 is not good for our gastrointestinal system.
42:54 So what happened was is that the baking soda,
42:57 they realized, the ladies in the kitchen realized
42:59 if I put a little extra baking soda,
43:01 things are lighter and fluffier.
43:03 So what was happening is they weren't doing the right mix.
43:06 Okay.
43:07 And when they didn't do the right mix,
43:09 they were getting too much baking soda,
43:10 which hurt the gastrointestinal system.
43:12 Okay. So it's really, really dangerous.
43:14 But now we can buy baking powders that are actually
43:16 chemically balanced.
43:18 And so I buy aluminum free. Yes.
43:21 I'm actually adding some water here too, by the way,
43:23 just to get our brownie better.
43:25 And so you can do that.
43:27 Now I learned that story from somebody who,
43:31 his mother was a nutritionist, and during the 1800s
43:35 and early 1900s.
43:37 And she taught her and so she's a teacher
43:40 at Andrews University and her mom
43:42 and she's a nutritionist as well.
43:44 So I learned that story and I was glad to find out
43:47 that it's safe to use baking powder.
43:49 It's just baking soda we want to be careful with.
43:51 So my recipes I always use baking powder.
43:54 Baking powder.
43:56 Yeah. Very good.
43:57 So you just mix this up and here's our...
43:58 It sounds good. Here's our brownie batter.
44:00 Yes, I see, that looks like a regular brownie batter.
44:03 That's right.
44:04 And people would never know it's whole green
44:07 and it's not chocolate.
44:09 That's right.
44:10 Yet you're getting a delicious sweet, no refined sugar, right?
44:12 And your children can lick the bowl.
44:14 There's no raw egg. No, egg in it.
44:15 Even though some people drink the raw eggs.
44:18 You know, I'm not going to take that chance.
44:20 How's that?
44:21 So, now what I'm just gonna do
44:22 is I usually just take a tablespoon.
44:24 Yeah. I'm just gonna use a tablespoon.
44:26 That's the perfect measurement here.
44:27 And these, this is just an oiled baking pan.
44:30 Mini muffin pan. Yep.
44:31 Little mini muffin pan here. Okay.
44:33 So I can just do this and we can...
44:36 Just with a glass of oatmeal.
44:39 Oh, yes, right.
44:41 Have a good oatmeal recipe,
44:42 oat milk recipe right in that cookbook.
44:44 Yes.
44:45 I like to mention it, Plant-Based Made Simple.
44:49 So you have the recipe for the milk?
44:51 I do, oat milk in here, yeah. I love oat milk.
44:54 Okay, that's a good one. I'm gonna make it then.
44:56 Well, folks, this is available.
44:58 You can contact our guest,
45:00 Chef Carin Lynch's Plant-Based Made Simple,
45:05 simple, nutritious and delicious.
45:08 And you're welcome to contact her at the contact information
45:12 we're going to be sharing
45:14 towards the end of the program today.
45:16 And just try the recipes and email her,
45:19 send her comments about her recipes that are in there.
45:23 So once you try it, recommend it to a friend.
45:27 It's really nice always to share a recipe,
45:31 have a recipe exchange party, that'd be really fun.
45:35 Sometimes I tell people to do like they can do a,
45:38 like a plant-based dinner where they invite everybody
45:41 over to do like a veggie,
45:42 vegetarian dinner party, you know?
45:44 And then they can, everybody brings something
45:46 that they learn how to make.
45:48 And so if they're doing a party,
45:49 we'll look at all these party recipes that we did today.
45:51 I know. Party recipes made simple.
45:55 Very good.
45:56 So we're going to put this in the oven
45:57 at what degree and for how long?
45:59 Three fifty,
46:00 and these are going to go into...
46:01 Can I freeze these?
46:03 Are these good for freezing or not?
46:04 They are great for freezing.
46:06 I totally do that all the time,
46:07 because you can make these ahead of time.
46:08 Yeah. I keep that grinding.
46:10 That's right.
46:11 Get all this out so we can get all our brownies.
46:14 Okay, and very good.
46:15 Usually, if I'm even and I'm not rushing,
46:18 I get all 24 so, but you'll see,
46:22 we'll just do that, because I want to take...
46:24 Now, you can always, you can always top them,
46:26 you know, with something.
46:27 I like to take a little bit of walnuts.
46:30 Yes. You know, I do with.
46:31 Well, sometimes I'll take carob.
46:33 So you put it in before you bake it?
46:34 Yes.
46:35 Okay, you'll see, you'll see
46:37 'cause I have some in the oven right now.
46:38 So we're going to pull those out in a minute.
46:40 But you can just do this, you can take carob chips.
46:42 And what I do sometimes is I'll pop the carob chip
46:44 all the way in there.
46:45 So when you bite it, you get a nice,
46:47 a little burst of carob, a little carob chip there.
46:50 So it's like a little bit gooey.
46:53 I like little gooey brownie.
46:56 Very good. So we'll put.
46:58 Let's go get these other ones out of the...
47:00 From the oven.
47:01 So while she's getting that, I'm going to clear this area.
47:06 And, no, I'm not going to taste it right now,
47:09 but I will later.
47:11 It's nice to have the options.
47:13 Sometimes we have friends or visitors at our church
47:16 and we'd like to treat them
47:17 because they're coming into town
47:19 and we don't know what to prepare for them.
47:21 So instead of being discouraged to be encouraged,
47:24 because there are some options that are very easy to make.
47:28 Look at that beauty.
47:30 They are. Wow!
47:32 I love the presentation.
47:34 Even just putting them on top.
47:35 Doesn't that make a nice photo?
47:37 It's just, it makes them a little bit decorated that side.
47:40 Yeah. That looks really good.
47:41 So then you know what I do? I take out the...
47:43 There we go. So this is, this is a little trick.
47:46 This will just, this will pop right out.
47:48 Okay, let's see. Oh, they do.
47:51 They pop right out.
47:52 So we can do this and just take them right like that.
47:55 Nice. So we can decorate them like that.
47:58 Very good.
47:59 Well, thank you for the suggestion
48:01 of the presentation and serving.
48:04 I think it's time for us to go to our last recipe
48:07 that we have for the hour.
48:08 And that recipe, what is it?
48:10 It's gonna be our salted caramel popcorn.
48:13 Here it is the recipe.
48:35 Well, what's the party without popcorn?
48:37 Let's get poppin' here? All right.
48:38 So we are going to make salted caramel popcorn. Okay.
48:42 And I'm going to start using some maple syrup.
48:45 Maple syrup. That is pure maple syrup.
48:47 Pure maple syrup.
48:48 We're gonna put that in there. Yes.
48:50 Make sure I got it all. And it's vegan.
48:53 That's right.
48:54 I mean, sometimes we forget how they were prepared.
48:57 And people don't know that it's in tubs
48:59 of bacon fat around the tubs to keep it from over-boiling.
49:03 Exactly. All right.
49:04 So we are also going to use some coconut oil.
49:06 This is just extra virgin coconut oil.
49:09 Pay bunch of attention, this is a quick recipe,
49:11 it's going to go really fast. It's very quick.
49:14 All right.
49:16 And we're going to get that boiling there with a little bit
49:18 of vanilla flavoring.
49:20 Yes. And some salt.
49:22 And salt.
49:24 And we're going to get this melted and start bubbling
49:26 and soon as it starts bubbling,
49:28 we're going to whisk in some baking powder.
49:31 And we just talked about baking powder.
49:32 Baking powder is actually going to help make this like more
49:35 of a caramelly thickener that when we pour on our popcorn
49:39 is going to kind of be a little soaky,
49:41 it's going to but then we're going to put it in the oven.
49:43 We're going to bake it at 300 degrees for about,
49:46 you know, 15 minutes.
49:47 Okay.
49:49 And you're going to have a crispy delicious caramel,
49:51 caramelly caramel corn.
49:52 Never had such a thing.
49:54 I'm excited to be in the kitchen today.
49:57 Once again, with Chef Carin.
50:00 All right, so, let it simmer in there.
50:03 Yes. Bubble away.
50:04 As soon as it melts, and bubbles,
50:06 we're going to put that baking powder in,
50:08 then we're just going to have to let
50:09 that usually about two minutes or so.
50:11 But it's pretty hot.
50:13 So we're, we'll probably get this done
50:14 a little bit earlier than that.
50:16 Okay.
50:17 Well, this is definitely an option because you know,
50:20 for holidays and stuff, you can give these as gifts,
50:24 homemade caramel popcorn.
50:26 That's right, because, you know, traditionally,
50:29 caramel corn is made with sugar,
50:31 corn syrup, and butter.
50:32 Right.
50:34 And so, we're making our version
50:35 that's plant-based, right?
50:36 Oh, I'm so glad it boiled
50:38 because we're almost out of time here.
50:39 That's right.
50:40 We're gonna get this going, you're gonna see it's gonna
50:42 bubble, bubble, bubble.
50:43 And it foams up a little bit, we're gonna let that just boil
50:45 and see this is pretty...
50:46 Yes, I can see that. This is a pretty featherweight.
50:49 Up there we go.
50:50 We're gonna just want to let this get...
50:54 Simmering. Simmer just a little bit.
50:56 We want to keep it bubbling. Wow.
50:59 And it usually takes about two minutes.
51:01 But we're gonna do this to speed at lightning here.
51:04 And I'm going to pour it in.
51:05 So we can, we can show this recipe.
51:07 I'm gonna turn the fire off on here. Please, thank you.
51:10 I'm just going to pour this one,
51:11 you're going to like I said, we want to let it caramelize
51:14 a bit and get nice and brown in there.
51:16 But we're just doing this just for demo purposes.
51:19 So I would have usually done this a little longer.
51:21 And you're going to mix it up. Wow.
51:23 And just mix it, toss it. I'm in this bowl.
51:25 Maybe I should have had a bigger bowl,
51:27 but you just want to toss it.
51:28 Yes.
51:30 And you're going to put it on a baking sheet
51:31 and you're going to stick it in the oven
51:33 for approximately like I said, you know,
51:37 15 minutes at about 300 degrees so it's not ultra-ultra-hot,
51:41 but it's gonna what it's going to do is crisp up
51:43 the popcorn and caramelize it.
51:45 Excellent.
51:46 So, well, I promised I was going to share
51:48 your contact information.
51:50 So we are going to that pause right now.
51:54 So we would like to show you real quick this popcorn
51:58 that she's pulling out of the oven just now.
52:01 And you're pouring it into the bowl, right?
52:03 Or we're gonna just take this right here.
52:05 Uh-huh. Let's do this.
52:06 Wow. Did you hear how crispy that is.
52:08 Crunchy, crunchy. All right.
52:11 Well, Chef Carin, while you're doing that,
52:14 I think is the time to go to the contact information,
52:18 so our friends can get a hold of your cookbook.
52:21 All right.
52:22 So we will be right back after this information
52:25 and we'll share the final products with you.
