00:14 Welcome to a Taste of Paradise. My name is Evita Tezeno
00:19 And you know one of my favorite fruits is Mango. I love the rich 00:24 juiciness of a mango. And I was sitting down thinking one day 00:28 what can I pair it with to make it even more fabulous? 00:32 And I thought about pears. Now pears are not as sweet as mangos 00:36 so the real sweetness and the nice subtle taste of a pear 00:41 would be amazing. So today we're going to do a pear mango cobbler 00:47 And I'm telling you it is fabulous, it's delicious 00:50 And so let's read the recipe. 01:37 So we're gonna start by using our food processor 01:42 using the hazelnuts and this is going to be our flour. 01:45 Hazelnuts have a real nutty flavor and even though they're 01:50 not roasted they have a nice roasted flavor 01:53 and it's also a very good source of calcium. 02:25 So now we're going to do the cream. 02:32 And we have our almond milk 02:38 our mango 02:46 our dates and be sure to pit the dates we don't want any 02:51 pits in our dates. Vanilla extract. 02:57 And salt. 03:00 My dates of choice is Mejdool. I love Mejdool dates. 03:24 And then we're going to add our cashews. 03:59 Now if you want to make this nut free you can add 2 bananas 04:03 instead of using cashews. It will also make it very creamy. 04:18 I'll get this out of the way. 04:26 So we're gonna take our hazelnut flour and start to drizzle it 04:31 at the bottom of our pan. 04:36 And this one's a little chunky if you want a little finer 04:40 you have to just let your processor go a little longer. 04:44 And then we line our pears. 04:50 And there are so many different varieties of pears, I used 04:54 Bosc pears today. That's one of my favorite pears. 05:09 And then we put some of the cream 05:19 Real simple recipe 05:29 Then our mangos 05:52 And then some more cream 06:01 Just going to finish off the cream here. 06:03 Spread it all over 06:08 And you can either eat it right away or you can put it in the 06:13 refrigerator to chill it. 06:25 We'll take some more pears 06:37 So this is like, this is a layered cobbler. 06:41 Layered fruit cobbler. 06:44 And you could use thinly sliced apples if you want 06:51 It will be crunchy, nice 06:56 Sprinkle it with the hazelnut flour 07:07 And then we're gonna garnish it with some strawberries. 07:26 Now wasn't that quick and simple? 07:32 Very, very nice. You can either eat this for breakfast 07:35 or it can also be a dessert but, I'm gonna eat it for breakfast 07:43 Another fabulous recipe from the Taste of Paradise 07:47 And this is Evita Tezeno and remember to live life fresh! 07:58 Welcome back. We just saw a delicious meal prepared by Evita 08:04 That was good for the inside of the body not just tasty as well. 08:08 So today we're gonna focus because a lot of individuals 08:12 have enjoyed our presentations on the skin and facials and all 08:15 of that stuff. The funniest thing is you would think that 08:18 people would be so excited about food for the body and all 08:21 that and they are but when we talk about skin people go crazy 08:26 and they're excited, especially the ladies but guys we take care 08:29 of our skins too of course. So today it's called SOS 08:33 Yes, save me, help me save or excellent food for the skin 08:39 Save Our Skin is our topic today. 08:42 And what better way to talk about our skin than our own 08:45 skin expert, well she may not consider herself a skin expert 08:49 but the example itself will tell all of the story. So we want 08:54 to welcome our general manager. Amen, thank you so much for 08:58 comin over and hangin out with us here. Thank you Nyse, I'm so 09:01 happy to be here. Thank you for inviting me. She's usually 09:05 on call and ready to do it and I said, Come on out I don't know 09:08 if you've seen any of our other programs. You know we had a 09:11 chance to take her out and stuff well now she needs to help us 09:15 a little bit because we have our own, if I could say, Adventist 09:19 Vanessa Williams, Amen. Watch it now, dangerous. 09:23 But look, just look. It's ok to be an example, to show others 09:31 I'm sure you're not taking care of skin so you could be better 09:34 than the other ladies but just to be a good example and by 09:37 God's you've done that. So I said she gotta come on the show 09:40 Today, how are we gonna save our skin. We're gonna make 09:42 some soap. But the skin, how do you keep yours so beautiful 09:45 and vibrant? Well Praise the Lord. Actually the skin 09:51 you take care of the inside and the outside. 09:54 Crucial. It's what you eat and you're giving us some 09:56 great recipes on how to nourish the skin internally 10:00 and externally you have to do some things like moisturize 10:05 use the right cleanser and that kind of thing. You don't wanna 10:09 just put drying agents on the skin. Yes and that's vital 10:14 I mean, you're only turning 41 or 42 something like that, so 10:18 She could get away with it so, this is a great guy right here 10:21 Oh, amen amen. But you notice the key words, the moisturizer 10:25 is what works for you and a lot of times the reason why we need 10:29 so many moisturizers is because we're putting so many harmful 10:33 or very strong aggressive chemicals on the skin. Exactly 10:37 and we don't realize it. We go to the store and we buy things 10:40 and we think that, Ok this is ok to use. I mean it's here 10:43 on the shelf so it must be ok to use. But then you can tell 10:48 when you're using the wrong thing because your skin starts 10:50 to dry out immediately. I notice when I'm washing dishes 10:54 and stuff like that that my skin like cracks up literally. The 10:58 other day I was like, man I need gloves to wash dishes 11:01 and my friend was like, Are you a man or what? 11:03 I'm like, I just need to take care, I need to take care 11:06 of my skin because it cracks up and it's not a good feeling 11:09 That's because there's chemicals in there. It's the chemicals. 11:12 It's not natural stuff, it's chemicals. And so the reason 11:15 why a lot of individuals are drying out so often is because 11:18 they're putting chemicals on their skin. Matter of fact it's 11:21 in our soaps. You think you're actually cleansing when you're 11:25 actually only harming the skin. The other day I picked up a soap 11:30 item and I read the ingredients and when I started to see all 11:34 of the ingredients, phosphate blah, blah what language is this 11:40 What's the rule of thumb? If you can't pronounce it 11:44 don't buy it. When in doubt leave it out and so as I was 11:47 so I just put it down and you won't believe what happened 11:50 What? I literally took a shower for the next week just with 11:53 water and a cloth. It actually helped me to make sure I got 11:57 every part, you know what I mean because I was like I don't have 12:00 any soap or whatever but the problem is not always that we 12:02 need a soap item it's just that we don't want to harm the skin 12:06 So today, SOS. Save Our Skins Save Our Skins. 12:10 We're going to share a simple recipe that you can do to make 12:13 your own soap. Soap from scratch and this one you can't taste it 12:19 But allow your skin to taste it alright? So Save Our Skin, here 12:22 is the simple thing that you will need for our recipe here 12:26 today. Save Our Skin. 13:04 And so we can use any of these to make our own. What's your 13:09 favorite essence or herb or smell? You know what? I love 13:14 peppermint, I love orange, lemon, sandalwood. 13:20 Wow you picked the ones that we're actually gonna do here 13:23 So it's real simple how you get it. Now you did say 3 bars? 13:27 Right. You can buy them at the Arts and Crafts shop. 13:29 You see here, this is a whole, one I actually did half n half 13:34 Yeah, so this one is the Shea butter and this is just a clear 13:37 glycerin one as well. So you can see that there 13:41 We basically take this out now. This is the method that we're 13:44 using here is called the melt and pour. Ok. Melt and Pour 13:48 Because the other ones take quite a bit of time and we don't 13:50 have enough time to do that on the show and everybody 13:52 wants to rush, rush, rush. So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna 13:54 take these out. I already cut them half and half and I'm gonna 13:58 do the first one here, yeah. And this is yours because 14:02 you're gonna make soap today also. Ok. So you just come out 14:05 here and look pretty and stuff you know, Lotta work. 14:08 She's been workin hard enough but a little extra. 14:10 Then you take one of these items or you just take a knife 14:13 I bought this at the Arts and Crafts, it's about $3-4. 14:16 What do you call it, do you know? I just call it a cutter. 14:18 There's no special name for it. I'm not a soap making expert. 14:22 Yeah it's a little cutter and it's cool but like I said 14:24 you can take a knife because it's not hard and here it is 14:28 Just press down and it goes all the way through 14:30 We'll do that again. We'll just press down all the way through 14:35 And why we're cutting it is because we have to melt it 14:38 right? And if it's just like that in the bar then it's not 14:42 gonna melt properly. So we're trying to make it a little 14:44 bit smaller and we'll add those up, so are you ready? 14:48 You're ready to try yours? Oh yes I'm ready. 14:50 You go ahead and you do the same thing. 14:52 I'm not the queen of this ok. I'm not great. You're not the 14:55 Soap Queen? No, I'm not the Soap Queen. 14:57 The soap make yourself, you got it. Here it is. Ok, ok. 15:00 I'm gonna put that in here. I'm feeling very accomplished now. 15:04 Wow look at that. You're keepin us movin here on air so you've 15:09 done quite a bit. Now you're gonna cut it again into small 15:11 squares. Ok. And so this is some thing you can do. When I found 15:16 out about this, I'm like this is cool I have to do, it I have to. 15:19 This is so neat, even I can do this. Anybody no? Absolutely. 15:24 Well you're here today and you are doing something good. Now 15:27 we have to melt it of course, right? Now you can do a double 15:31 boiler, basically you take two pots, one with hot water and 15:35 another one there that takes a little bit of time. So if you're 15:38 know what it is, I have a microwave here, and I know you 15:41 hate the microwave. I don't use the microwave, yeah and so 15:44 it comes with the house some times and I'm like, why? 15:46 Can I get my money back or something because I do not use 15:48 microwave but in this case for time purposes we're just gonna 15:51 use it for that. So you basically set it for 30 seconds 15:55 or one minute. You don't want to set it too long. 15:58 You're trying to get it to melt right? Because sometimes 16:01 you set it too long it will burn Ahh.. right, so here we go 16:04 So I'm just going to start this this is for about one minute 16:07 So it's just the glycerin in there, right? Yeah. Basically 16:11 And you melt it so it's more malleable. Yes. Something you 16:16 can work with. So we can use it correct. So we just wanna melt 16:19 it and it's gonna become like a liquid there. And then once it 16:22 becomes like a liquid we can add our ingredients and then 16:25 it congeals back once it gets cool again at regular temps 16:29 So when you put it in the double boiler, is it like 16:33 steaming it or, well the heat from the double boiler 16:38 the heat from it will start to melt it. And so you just have 16:42 to be really quick with it. And it takes a little bit of time 16:46 you know it takes a little bit longer and we didn't have the 16:48 chance to do that here but that would be the 'Ideal". 16:51 I don't know about this thing, I'm holding my breath right now 16:54 I'm gonna find out, I'm just kidding with you all. 16:56 But I don't use the microwave in general so it's better to just 17:00 go ahead and warm up your food on a stove or somethin 17:04 of that nature. And our viewers need to know that if you use 17:07 the microwave do not stand in front of it. Yes. Do not stand 17:11 in front of the microwave. But it's better to not use it at all 17:14 Here it is, it's starting to melt a little bit so I'm just 17:16 checkin and we're going to do it again for another minute 17:19 it just takes a little bit of time. We're gonna melt it again 17:23 Now the key is why we're doin this, the largest organ of the 17:28 body is the skin. And we're feedin the heart 17:33 and we're feedin this and feedin that, 17:34 we need to take better care of the skin. Absolutely. So this 17:39 That's because the skin both absorbs and it also secretes 17:44 Yes, so you want the pores to be open so that there is this 17:49 transfer. The toxins come out and the nutrients can go in. 17:54 Ah man, you heard it from the beauty skin queen herself, yeah? 17:59 So it does both jobs and so we have to make sure that we 18:04 are taking care of it as much as possible. So this is melting 18:09 here and let's see we have a couple more, and what's gonna 18:12 happen? We gotta move quick now. Soon as it comes out we're 18:16 going to add some, so let's do mint, and maybe lemon 18:20 so we have our essence there. Alright, let's see. 18:25 Alright here it is. It's starting to melt already. 18:28 So here it is, if you all can take a quick look. I'm just 18:31 going to mix it. As you can see some of it is still, you don't 18:33 have to melt all of it cause you're just tryin to get in 18:36 the flavors. So let's add a couple of items. Let's go 18:39 with the peppermint extract there. So we're going to pour 18:43 that in, and how much? Ah about a tablespoon or so. 18:48 Just go ahead, you know add a little extra. Ok. You know why 18:51 our soaps smell the way they do because so much perfumes 18:56 and stuff was added to it right? So I'm going to mix it up 19:01 And then let me get this going so this can start melting in 19:03 the process. Oh good. Yeah. You have this one here so 19:07 let's do that and then we're going to add some actual 19:10 peppermint leaves to that. So let's bring that over 19:14 and then you just take off a couple of those leaves there 19:19 and you should be good. And I'm going to put this in the 19:21 microwave in the meantime. Ok so do I just add the leaves 19:25 tear them or, oh just add them. You can tear them if you want 19:30 Ok. That maybe good as well. 19:37 You add it there, now you gotta get it rolling 19:40 Smell it a little bit, Yeah. 19:42 We have peppermint. You want more? 19:45 Yes, let's load it up, load it up. This is why we want 19:48 to grow our own herbs and stuff so we can add it. You 19:51 smell it already, right? If you even crush it up that 19:54 may come out but this is gonna look cool, it's going to be good 19:57 for you and it's actually gonna help the skin. I can put some 20:00 ice in there and drink it. Ha ha 20:05 I know it'll taste of paradise animal paradise, right? 20:09 Alright, so. You want more? Load it up. 20:12 You're gonna be taking a shower with this stuff. Ok. 20:15 You want the shower to smell good, the skin to smell good 20:19 as well. For sure. You can add different essences, whatever 20:22 is your favorite, you can add those to it. 20:26 Look at that. That should be good. Oh man, you done poor 20:30 poor peppermint plant. Look at that, it's looking kinda 20:35 messed up there but that's fine it'll grow back, yeah? 20:39 So we'll get a couple more in there. 20:42 You know what'll be cool? If you throw in the stem, ah good 20:45 You want the stem? No, if you had it, if you had it. This is 20:49 starting to get tight now. Or starting to congeal, so what 20:54 we're going to do is we have to add it to our moulds now. 20:57 And then that's almost done. So, yeah you see it? So let's 21:02 do two here and two there and let's. You get these from the 21:04 craft store as well? Yes you get those from the craft store 21:07 Oh this is so neat. Oh look at yours. Oh. It's hot though 21:11 So here you're gonna start mixing that. And here's what 21:15 I'm gonna do cause mine is getting tight you see that there 21:18 So I'm going to pour mine. Into moulds? Into the mould. So I'm 21:22 gonna do a square mould and I'm going to do one square mould 21:29 and let's do a big mould here 21:35 Uh Oh. See this one I took a little long, and then 21:40 and one more, let's do a little one. 21:43 Ok, so the quicker once we get that out of the microwave 21:48 we gotta keep it moving. Yes you can't play around because 21:50 look it's already done and you probably have to melt it again 21:53 and do all of that stuff. Mine's little ugly but hey it's gonna 21:59 melt away, so. You have that there look it's already starting 22:02 to dry. Uh huh. So what do you have? You have that one. Let's 22:06 put some different flavors on that. Ok 22:08 So what are we gonna do? We can put some tea tree maybe or 22:12 lemon and orange. What flavor do you want? 22:15 Little citrusy. Little citrusy. So this is gonna be our citrus 22:17 one. So you can add that and I'm going to like literally 22:22 grate, I'm going to grate an orange. Ooh. 22:27 Oh she loaded that one up. So here it is. I'm just going to 22:31 grate this in. Just the zest yeah? And actually the coolest 22:37 thing is, is the mixture starting to get tight? 22:39 Uh Oh. We gotta hurry up. 22:44 The coolest thing is when you do this the color starts to change 22:48 adds color a little bit as well and you're gonna be taking a 22:52 shower with all natural, this is literally all natural. D'you add 22:56 a little tea tree to it too? Do you want to add tea tree, that's 22:59 fine. A little antiseptic kinda thing. Look at that! 23:02 We've got doctors in the house. Tea tree. Ok so you have that 23:06 Is it getting thick, do we need to start pouring? 23:08 I think that's good enough. 23:12 Poor orange, we took all the zest from it. 23:16 And then it should be, how are we doing? Yeah. 23:18 We're doing ok, it's getting thick. 23:21 It's getting thick, uh oh. We may need to put it back in the 23:25 microwave or something. But here let's see if we can squeeze it 23:29 in. I'll put that in. Oh we got some peppermint in there 23:32 Let me see. Oh we were supposed to pour but we'll work with it. 23:36 Have mercy Lord. Good thing we made one in advance. 23:39 Yeah. Ha ha ha. So here it is. That's one there. 23:43 Let's do another square one. It smells so good. 23:46 This one doesn't look as good but it's gonna smell good. Oh. 23:50 Have mercy. So here it is. That one is really thick. 23:53 I mean that's really nice. It looks like whipped cream 24:01 And we'll pour it in a bit. It got really thick on us. 24:05 So normally you wanna do it while it's real liquidy 24:09 and stuff. And if it gets thick you heat it again? You just 24:13 put it right back in and heat it again one more time and it'll 24:17 melt for you yeah? so this one it's, they usually say it's 24:21 fabulous, you know what I'm talkin about alright 24:23 this is the fabulous version. But the more you do it at home 24:26 and spend some time it will come out really good. 24:29 So lemme show it. You take this and it sets so quick 24:32 We'll take this and put it out of the way 24:34 I've already done some here for you. 24:37 Look at that. It's gonna melt when you start taking a bath 24:40 anyway and then we have a nice little finished product. 24:45 Let's talk a little bit about this here. 24:47 So here you go. This is how it's supposed to come out. 24:50 That is so neat. So this is the one you made. You made this one 24:54 And this is the, I want to smell em. Smell em 24:57 So you have, mine is really peppermint. Uh huh. 25:00 smelling and look you even have the little herbs and stuff 25:04 you can check that out. How neat! 25:07 Ah this smells so good. Is it alright? Peppermint is so good. 25:10 If you have a headache you can put some essential oils of 25:14 peppermint oil on your temples and now you can bathe with it 25:17 as well. You can bathe with it so that's why we can use the 25:20 lavender so it's soothing, that works well. You can also put 25:27 some coconut. We want to make some really from scratch. 25:30 Here we thought like a part of it but you wanna use some 25:34 coconut, some Shea butter. There's different ways you can 25:38 make some of these recipes or something like that. 25:43 And it builds in the moisturizer Now does this lather well cause 25:47 I like bubbles and stuff. 25:50 We know who's takin a bath all the time. 25:53 You know they don't build houses with tubs any more. 25:57 Everything is like stand up shower because society is like 25:59 causing you to run, run, run. 26:00 We need to take some time and go and shower and yes, it 26:05 actually does lather very well. So you'll enjoy this. 26:09 And the reason why we want to start doing our own soap 26:11 is because regular soaps they have parabens and a whole bunch 26:16 of additional items. They're basically chemicals. 26:19 That's right. So I mean just read the ingredients 26:22 and it's just chemicals. Just stuff that's supposed to be 26:26 taking care of the skin and you're pouring chemicals on 26:28 your skin. You're rubbing chemicals on your skin. 26:30 You're like man, I'm so dry. And remember the skin absorbs 26:34 Yes, so it takes in those chemicals. 26:37 You don't want your body to kind of process those chemicals 26:41 This is true. So you have your body taking in some of these 26:44 chemicals and because they are chemicals what are they doing? 26:47 They're leaching your body of natural oils and moisture 26:51 that God has already put in there. I wanna try something. 26:55 I think if we hydrate very well and stay away because a lot of 26:59 people have irritations and allergies and all of these items 27:03 it plays a part because a simple soap and stuff that we're using 27:10 I worked with one gentleman, his child was really breakin out 27:13 really bad and he was like he's eating good. You see milk causes 27:17 the reaction and come to find out he wasn't using any of them 27:21 And what was the problem? They were using aggressive soap. 27:24 They were giving the baby, not the baby but they were washing 27:27 the baby with this soap that they thought was good but when 27:30 they started to read the ingredients it was like, wow 27:33 Hmm, it was trouble, trouble trouble. 27:36 And once they stopped and started using something more 27:39 natural, guess they have baby soaps and stuff now 27:41 the problem went away and the irritation was not a problem 27:44 anymore. So here it is. You have your simple Save Our Skin 27:49 recipes that can help you to save our skin 27:52 and then maybe one day we can look like her. 27:54 Simple recipes that you can enjoy. So Save Your Skin. 27:57 And make your own soaps at home. Thank you very much. 27:59 Thank you Nyse. |
