00:45 I want to spend my life
00:51 Mending broken people
01:09 Hello and welcome
01:11 to another 3ABN Today Cooking program.
01:14 Today I am super excited because I have me with me
01:17 executive chef Edgar AguiƱaga
01:21 and Dr. Cooper Dockery.
01:25 That's right.
01:26 And you are the founder of Cooper Wellness Center
01:30 and you are the executive chef...
01:32 Yes, I am. That is correct.
01:33 At Cooper Wellness Center.
01:34 It's a pleasure to have you guys here.
01:36 Before, you know, we came out, we had started this pot, and...
01:40 Yeah, it's already cooked, it's boiling, it's boiling.
01:43 We got the stuff boiling. Yeah.
01:44 So before we get into that, how did you guys connect?
01:47 Whoa, Edgar, would you like to give that story
01:51 in a minute or less.
01:52 It's very, very God guided story
01:55 the way we met.
01:56 We were at a training at a church,
02:00 both Hispanic churches came together
02:03 with the English came together.
02:04 And we were going to talk about health.
02:07 Me, myself being a chef,
02:09 I had nowhere to be in whatever class,
02:11 so my brother said, "Why don't you just go in,
02:13 and you probably learn something about health
02:14 that would help you later on with the cooking."
02:17 So I sat down and Dr. Bryce, remember,
02:20 he asked the question, "Why are you all here?"
02:22 And only two of us raised their hand.
02:25 I was one, I raised my hand.
02:26 I said, "Well, I'm a chef.
02:27 And I want to learn more about health,
02:30 and so I can put that into cooking."
02:33 So the lecture kept on going.
02:35 later on Dr. Cooper come up to me.
02:37 She says, "So you're a chef?" I said, "Yes, Ma'am."
02:39 She said, "We'll have a wellness center,
02:41 and we're starting this whole new program
02:43 with meals and juices," And she's like,
02:45 "And I would like to see
02:47 if you were interested in working," and I'm like,
02:50 "I'm actually looking for a job."
02:52 Nice, wow!
02:53 So we know that if Dr. Bryce didn't ask the question,
02:57 "Why are you here?"
02:58 We wouldn't have met.
02:59 So God works in mysterious ways,
03:01 but He works in perfect ways.
03:02 That was divine providence.
03:04 Divine intervention.
03:05 Exactly. Absolutely, absolutely.
03:07 And so how long
03:08 has the Cooper Wellness Center been around?
03:10 About nine years or so.
03:13 We formed Cooper Wellness and Disease Prevention Center
03:18 just so I can do holistic approach to health
03:22 using lifestyle medicine with my patients.
03:25 Okay. And...
03:27 Okay, so when we say the wellness center, right?
03:29 Yeah.
03:30 What differentiates you from say,
03:34 a health clinic or hospital or something,
03:37 what's the difference?
03:38 I want people to know that differentiation...
03:40 Yes, we are an outpatient lifestyle center
03:43 like Weimar or Wildwood.
03:45 Okay.
03:47 We just don't have the residential program.
03:48 So patients come into our center,
03:50 they go through the health classes,
03:53 nutritional classes.
03:55 We have a kitchen, of course, now we have a chef,
03:58 we have an educator,
04:00 we have someone who does the exercise program,
04:03 we have a gym, it's a total different setting
04:06 than what you see in a regular doctor's office.
04:08 Got you, got, you.
04:10 And you heal with, and you cure things with food.
04:13 Food as medicine,
04:15 we do the entire eight laws of health,
04:19 we have Bible study classes at the office,
04:23 we just hired a part time chaplain.
04:26 We've had five baptisms from our programs.
04:29 So it's touching lives like Christ did.
04:34 So it's evangelism. It's evangelism, bottom line.
04:35 Yes, beautiful, beautiful.
04:37 Well, what are we going to be making today?
04:39 Chef, what are we going to be doing?
04:41 Today, right now we'll be making our mac and cheese,
04:45 but this is a whole different twist to it
04:47 because it's cheese they can eat
04:49 without feeling guilty.
04:50 Okay.
04:52 We're also going to have kebabs,
04:53 we're going to have burgers, we're going to have skewers,
04:55 we're going to have meatballs, we're doing a lot today.
04:58 Yeah, party, yeah, this is party meals,
05:02 meals for children, meals for just about everybody.
05:04 I'll tell you what? Without cholesterol.
05:06 After this program, I'm going to be eating a lot.
05:08 There you go, right.
05:09 You guys make a lot, I'll eat a lot,
05:11 we'll be one happy family.
05:13 So what's our first recipe?
05:15 We are going to do our macaroni and cheese.
05:17 Okay.
06:00 So that is what we already have going, our macaroni,
06:03 and we're going to make our cheese sauce.
06:05 Oh, wonderful.
06:06 So what do we start with?
06:08 We start with our tofu.
06:13 Our tofu has been drained.
06:15 Here we have it out here.
06:16 We're going to cut it up in little sections,
06:18 we'll then put it into our blender.
06:19 This is a very easy to blend,
06:21 so we don't have to cut it up very finely.
06:24 So what I'm just going to do,
06:26 cut it up into pieces, squares.
06:30 That is the cheese sauce, actually.
06:31 Yeah, right.
06:33 I was like watching different chefs
06:35 with their knife...
06:36 Knife skill. Yeah, but they're not.
06:37 Yes, nice skills, yeah.
06:39 Edgar's very good, he's our executive chef.
06:40 Yes.
06:42 Right, and then we're going to add the cashew.
06:45 We're going to add our cashews.
06:47 These as well are raw Samies, they're not roasted,
06:49 they're not seasoned,
06:51 we are adding our own seasoning to this.
06:52 Why is that so important? Why?
06:55 Because then you get a sweet flavor,
06:56 and you really don't want that sweet flavor
06:57 from the cashews, you want them brown,
06:59 so you get to dictate
07:00 what they're going to taste like.
07:02 Got you. Very smart, yeah.
07:04 Very good.
07:05 Also, we have our nutritional yeast.
07:07 This helps us with the flavor, with the coloring,
07:09 this is amazing product right here.
07:11 You have to have it in your pantry.
07:13 Yeah, I love, it gives the cheesy taste,
07:16 not only that, but the B complex,
07:18 Vitamin B12, B6, and all these vitamins.
07:21 Okay, and it seems like a must in a vegan recipe.
07:24 It has to be a must.
07:26 Yes, yes, it helps out
07:28 with a lot of recipes with the flavor, with the...
07:31 B12. B12, all that comes into play.
07:34 Got you. We can add the water.
07:37 We're going to add
07:38 our three cups of water into this.
07:43 And I think this is cooking,
07:44 I'm going to drain this and get it prepared
07:46 and ready for the chef.
07:47 Okay, so we're going to get our bell pepper.
07:52 All right.
07:53 Our bell pepper is going to help us with that color,
07:55 okay?
07:56 Easy way to cut our bell peppers.
07:59 They're already divided naturally,
08:01 so we're just going to put a knife through it
08:04 and cut around.
08:05 That helps us to leave the seeds in there,
08:09 and intact, and our board does not get messy at all.
08:12 Yeah, those seeds, they make a mess.
08:14 Our seeds are right here. Yes.
08:15 And again, we're going to put this into the blender,
08:18 so doesn't have to be finely chopped,
08:20 we're just going to help out our blender
08:22 so it doesn't have trouble while we're blending.
08:24 Got you.
08:26 And from the bell pepper, we have our vitamin A,
08:28 and also gives a color for the cheese sauce.
08:32 I love bell peppers.
08:34 Very delicious.
08:36 And if you can get these roasted,
08:38 it adds that smoky flavor in your cheese sauce as well.
08:42 That's correct.
08:44 Nice. Very good.
08:45 Some nice smoked cheese.
08:48 Now we're going to add our turmeric
08:51 and our other seasoning, salt, and cornstarch,
08:56 those will be going in here as well.
08:58 Okay.
08:59 And turmeric now, turmeric,
09:00 you must have heard a lot about cumin,
09:03 right, or curcumin.
09:05 Curcumin is a root that is used
09:08 so much in the eastern cooking,
09:11 lots of antioxidant, fights anti-inflammation,
09:17 joint pain, arthritis, it builds immune system,
09:21 it's something you need to have in your kitchen.
09:23 All right, chef, keep going.
09:25 And we're going to add our amino.
09:26 This helps also with the flavoring,
09:28 and it gives us a little bit of sodium,
09:29 but we're also going to add some more salt
09:31 just to flavor it up.
09:33 Right. Got you.
09:34 And those that are hypertensive,
09:36 if they have high blood pressure,
09:39 they need to watch the salt,
09:41 but remember cheese need to be salty.
09:43 And with this serving of mac and cheese,
09:46 it's just about 100 calories, so it's not a problem,
09:50 and of course, we don't have the cholesterol.
09:53 Oil. Okay.
09:55 We're also going to add in here.
09:57 It looks like it's a lot.
09:59 Yeah, I was just thinking, this is an intense.
10:01 It's just the tablespoon.
10:03 I thought this is an intense cheese sauce.
10:06 But this cheese sauce is amazing, why?
10:07 'Cause we're making mac and cheese.
10:09 This cheese could also be used for nachos as well.
10:12 Okay.
10:13 Multipurpose.
10:14 A multipurpose cheese, yeah.
10:16 I'm going to drain this.
10:17 And our garlics, we're going to add our garlics
10:19 in here as well.
10:20 Okay.
10:22 It's a very, very, very complex dish,
10:23 but it's very, very easy to do, why?
10:26 'Cause everything goes into the blender,
10:27 and we're going to let it go.
10:29 All right.
10:45 As you can see the bell pepper
10:46 has helped us get that nice colors,
10:49 and the more it cooks,
10:50 the more yellow it's going to get
10:52 because of that bell pepper.
10:53 Okay.
10:54 So it looks like the real thing.
11:07 All right.
11:09 Okay, so we have the pasta here,
11:11 we're going to pour it out,
11:14 and then we're going to fill it with the sauce,
11:16 and then we're going to bake.
11:18 Nice.
11:19 And then this recipe will be over.
11:21 This is delicious. Kids love this recipe.
11:23 I love mac and cheese.
11:25 Right, let's empty it all, then we use.
11:29 There we go. The cheese goes in here.
11:30 You smell, it smells like jalapeno cheese.
11:33 Okay. It smells more like, yeah.
11:35 Let's pour it out and then we're ready to bake.
11:39 And we're going to be baking this
11:40 at 350 degrees for an hour.
11:44 We're gonna fill it to the top, so it becomes very cheesy.
11:47 350 for about an hour?
11:49 For an hour. Okay.
11:50 So let's get it in there.
11:55 Let' see.
12:02 Okay. All right.
12:07 There you go. Okay. Very good.
12:09 Alrighty.
12:11 350 for an hour,
12:13 so what's our next recipe that we're going to do?
12:16 I think we're going to do meatballs.
12:18 The chef loves to do meatballs.
12:19 Oh, meatballs are amazing. Why?
12:21 Because you can use them so many ways, in spaghetti,
12:23 or you could coat them with different sauces.
12:26 You could do barbecue sauce, you could do cream sauce,
12:29 marinara sauce, cashew and flavor sauce,
12:32 whatever kind of sauce you like, goes into that.
12:34 You're speaking my language.
12:35 You're speaking my language.
12:36 So let's take a look at the recipe.
12:38 Awesome.
13:10 So where do we begin?
13:12 We're going to put our pasta into our water.
13:15 Okay.
13:16 Our water is already boiling and steaming hot.
13:19 Okay, here we go.
13:20 So, our pasta is going in.
13:22 All right. This will be cooking.
13:23 So, now we're going to do our meatballs,
13:27 starting off with the onion.
13:28 Okay.
13:29 And these are meatless meatballs.
13:31 We want to stay away from the cholesterol?
13:33 Got you, meatless meatballs, all right.
13:35 Meatless meatballs,
13:36 this is a fanfare if I say, people love it.
13:39 Why?
13:40 Because they're away from the meat,
13:41 but they still get that flavor.
13:43 The taste. That's right.
13:44 How about on start tearing up with the onion?
13:46 No, I am about to show you a trick,
13:49 how to cut onions and not cry.
13:52 He likes to give that trick on every show we do together.
13:55 Go ahead, Edgar.
13:56 I cut in half, I took the top off,
13:59 I left the root on.
14:00 Got it.
14:01 There's a lot of sulphur right here.
14:03 Once you start hitting that, onion gets mad,
14:04 releases that sulphur, goes into our nostrils,
14:06 go into our teardrops,
14:07 and that's when we start crying.
14:09 So our Father in heaven, He put line into the onion.
14:13 We are very thankful for that because that helps us just cut
14:15 down the lines, right?
14:19 So we are trying to dice this onion,
14:21 I'll chop it up, okay?
14:23 And you can follow lines.
14:25 The closer the lines are,
14:26 the smaller your dice is going to be, okay?
14:28 So you cut that, and now once we have the lines,
14:31 we turn this on the side to cut.
14:35 We've got three finger method, three fingers in the front,
14:37 pinkie in the back, thumb in the back,
14:39 and our knife is always right next...
14:41 Against knuckles. Right, against the knuckles.
14:42 So I can look at you, cut,
14:44 and we're never going to cut ourselves, right?
14:46 Yeah.
14:47 And on the onion,
14:49 which we're they're cutting, right?
14:50 And we start seeing that dice is coming out.
14:52 And I still don't see you cry, so that's a good thing, right?
14:55 Yeah, and I don't see you losing a tear,
14:58 so that's a good thing too.
15:01 Edgar's very good.
15:02 You lose a finger, I'm going to pass out.
15:05 So the sulphur, we could get rid of that,
15:07 and this is what we want.
15:09 We have nicely diced onion.
15:11 We are going to put here, right?
15:12 Yes, and here in our pot, we put a little bit of oil.
15:15 Okay.
15:17 That oil is going to help us
15:18 bring that sugar out of the onions,
15:21 get that nice caramel out of the onions.
15:24 There are lot of sugar in the unions, so we want that.
15:26 Why?
15:28 Because we don't want that bitterness out, okay?
15:30 So...
15:34 There you go.
15:38 I love, love, love onions.
15:40 And onions are great.
15:42 Remember we discussed onions and wonderful for inflammation.
15:45 Are they good for inflammation?
15:46 Inflammation, onion and garlic built in your system,
15:49 it help you to fight just the breast cancer,
15:52 so I love to cook with onions.
15:53 All right, Edgar, what else do we have?
15:55 So, we have our sunflower seeds.
15:57 We're going to add those in there.
15:59 We also have our aminos,
16:00 and we're going to add those in there as well.
16:03 That's going to give us that nice flavor, okay,
16:05 when we start adding our dry, we got different spices,
16:11 we got thyme...
16:12 Oh, man, I'm feeling good already.
16:14 We got sage, I'm telling you.
16:16 It is delicious. We got yeast, okay?
16:18 You said it, every vegan chef got it right there.
16:22 We got corn starch right here,
16:24 it's going to help us bring it together,
16:26 get that nice binding going.
16:27 And we have walnuts right here. Okay.
16:29 So what I'm going to do is I'm going to chop them.
16:32 They're already nice and small,
16:34 but I want the size of the sunflower seeds, okay?
16:37 Okay, let's hold this here.
16:39 Did we put corn starch
16:40 or did we put another spice here?
16:44 I think we put corn starch.
16:45 I think it's just another spice.
16:47 Okay, let's put our main protein there
16:50 that is our walnuts.
16:53 One cup of walnuts will give about five grams of protein,
16:56 and we're trying to make a protein dish here.
16:59 And, of course, the walnuts have good fats,
17:01 omega 3 fatty acid, which our bodies need.
17:03 Yes.
17:05 Alrighty, so we're going to get that together
17:06 while this is boiling.
17:08 Have you developed kitchen hands
17:11 where you can touch this incredibly hot stuff?
17:15 Have you developed that, Edgar?
17:17 Sometimes, something I'm grabbing something too hot,
17:20 and I don't feel it until it's too late.
17:22 That's right.
17:24 There you go, you're becoming a chef.
17:25 There you go. Oh, man, no.
17:27 That is just looking, looking lovely.
17:28 Those onions are nice and translucent,
17:30 they're nice and brown which means sugar is out.
17:32 That's what, that's why they call it caramelized
17:34 'cause caramel is what color?
17:35 Brown.
17:37 To this, we're going to add the water, right, Edgar?
17:38 And then we're going to have the oats.
17:40 Then we're going to add our oats as well.
17:41 Oats, and that's going to sit for a couple of minutes
17:45 while the water cools down,
17:49 and then we're going to form the balls, alrighty?
17:52 And that itself,
17:53 the heat of the water is going to cook it.
17:55 You just let it sit?
17:56 Yeah, we'll let it sit for a while,
17:58 and the flavor will just get into the oats,
18:02 and then we're going to make our balls, right?
18:05 Okay.
18:06 I think we have some more cool ones
18:08 that Edgar's going to us now to make the balls.
18:10 Nice.
18:11 Takes too long to wait on camera.
18:13 Which is the beautiful thing about being on TV.
18:15 That's right.
18:16 The faster we get to make it, the faster we get to eat it,
18:18 so let's get to making.
18:20 So after 20 minutes that is there,
18:23 then you leave it soaking,
18:24 it's getting get to a nice texture, okay?
18:27 It looks like our stuffing,
18:30 but this is our walnuts and everything.
18:33 So here we start making our balls, okay?
18:36 We like to go for a one ounce,
18:39 okay, meatballs, so these are lovely.
18:43 But you could go one and a half, okay?
18:46 We don't want to go too big.
18:48 Got it.
18:51 And in each of these balls, they have about 100 calories.
18:56 So they're not calorie dense,
18:58 but a lot of nutrients because we have the fiber,
19:00 we have the nuts with the great fat
19:04 to help with heart disease, and we have also the seeds,
19:09 so some nuts and seeds are wonderful
19:10 to prevent coronary artery disease.
19:12 Yes.
19:13 And that is how are we are helping our patients
19:15 at Cooper Wellness and Disease Prevention Center.
19:17 They're doing fine off meat and off the cholesterol.
19:20 Wow.
19:21 People love these meatballs.
19:23 We have to make so many of them at a time
19:26 because people are coming in, "Where's my meatballs?"
19:29 Exactly, exactly, they love these meatballs.
19:32 And they're good to serve at parties.
19:34 They're easy to make, they're flavorful,
19:37 and nice presentation.
19:39 Nutritious and delicious. Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
19:41 Now are these meatballs in your cookbook?
19:43 They are in my cookbook.
19:45 Where's my cookbook? Let's see what we have here.
19:47 This Incredibly Delicious Vegan Recipes and Meal Plan.
19:51 Okay. And meal plans.
19:53 And as I mentioned, we have recipe,
19:55 but I have 28 day meal plan here
19:58 for anyone who wants to lose weight,
20:01 decrease medication,
20:03 reverse your diabetes, and we have a lot of patients,
20:06 we're doing fantastic using the same recipes.
20:10 Nice, nice, do you meal prep at all?
20:13 We do.
20:14 Like in the beginning, like maybe on a Sunday
20:16 or something like that, you get ready for the week.
20:18 We meal prep.
20:19 Actually, we have the chef,
20:20 we have various meals and organic juices
20:23 at the wellness center.
20:25 We meal prep almost freshly, almost daily.
20:29 That is how big our demand is.
20:31 And it's plant based,
20:33 everything is plant based which is delicious,
20:35 and people are not missing out or any nutrients,
20:38 you know, vitamins, nothing.
20:40 They're getting exactly what they need.
20:41 And they come in and buy monthly supplies of...
20:44 Fresh is best. Right, let us drain this.
20:46 You think this is ready, Edgar? Should I drain it?
20:48 Yes, ma'am, that is ready to go.
20:50 Let's go ahead and drain this off,
20:52 so we can do some final prep to care.
20:54 We've got some more recipes to get you.
20:56 Yes.
20:57 You know, meatballs will be going
20:59 into our oven for 350 degrees.
21:01 And for how long?
21:03 They'll be the in there for 30 minutes.
21:05 Okay, 30 minutes,
21:10 are they ready to go in?
21:12 Yes, they are. All right.
21:17 Okay, Mr. Edgar, I'm going to put this out for you.
21:21 Get your dish here.
21:24 Alrighty. Here we go.
21:26 So we usually bake for 30 minutes,
21:28 but we do 15 minutes on each side,
21:31 so we turn them
21:33 in order to get them properly cooked.
21:34 Okay, Edgar, here is...
21:35 So we got pasta, we got the spaghetti.
21:38 Oh, that's done like a true chef with the tongs
21:41 and the spaghetti right there, yes.
21:42 And we always recommend whole wheat pasta.
21:44 Got you.
21:46 All right, not processed, more fiber,
21:48 more nutrients, more protein.
21:50 Okay, there with the chef, go ahead and finish that off.
21:53 So we got our sauce here.
21:55 This is just a marinara sauce,
21:57 tomato, basil, thyme, the Delicious.
22:00 For me, tomatoes and basil should always go together,
22:03 they're best friends
22:04 that they get to know each other especially here.
22:07 Alrighty, very nice.
22:10 Look at the beautiful presentation.
22:12 Wow.
22:13 And to that, we would add our meatballs
22:16 at the end of the show.
22:18 So, Jason, you're going to be tasting this?
22:20 Oh, you know, I'm going to be tasting that.
22:21 This is delicious, Jason.
22:22 Yes, it looks like it. All right.
22:24 So we're just going away from meatballs,
22:26 and this is going to be fantastic.
22:27 Oh, yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
22:29 What are we gonna be making next?
22:31 Next we are going to have our burger.
22:34 it's a black bean burger.
23:08 You know, I absolutely love burgers,
23:10 but I don't...
23:11 I have no idea where we begin with this one.
23:14 This is black bean burger.
23:16 In one cup of black bean, you have 40 grams of protein.
23:21 A regular adult sized male need about 60 gram.
23:25 Wow!
23:26 And you have 40 grams of protein right here in this.
23:29 Wow, plant based, okay?
23:31 So let's get to it, right? Yeah.
23:33 So we're going to start with our onion, okay?
23:35 Our onion, we're going to cut into wedges, okay?
23:38 And we're not going to cry. And we're not going to cry.
23:40 That's right. That's right.
23:42 We're not going to cry.
23:43 Only reason why we we're cutting into wedges
23:45 is to help our food processor.
23:46 Everything is going to our food processor.
23:48 It is a very, very easy dish, very simple,
23:51 everybody loves it, everybody likes doing it, okay?
23:54 At our wellness center, this is one of the favorite.
23:56 Really? Yes.
23:57 Okay.
23:59 People love it, it's spicy, it is filled with good fat,
24:01 lots of fiber, and a lot amount of protein.
24:05 Nice.
24:08 All right, Edgar, what else are we putting in there?
24:09 So I'm going to process my onion first,
24:12 and then I'll be adding everything else, my corn,
24:15 my beans, everything I'll be adding into this.
24:18 So I want my onion to be nice and small in this one, okay?
24:22 I don't want to get that big flavored onion,
24:24 I just wanted it to be nice and settle.
24:27 So we're done there.
24:28 And now we're going to add our corn.
24:31 Okay.
24:34 And we kind of see the black bean burger,
24:35 we like texture with it, okay?
24:37 So we have black beans.
24:40 Okay.
24:42 We're now going to finally chop this.
24:43 Exactly.
24:44 We just need to chop so we could have texture
24:46 in the burger.
24:47 Okay.
24:49 So you think you're eating something else.
24:50 Got you.
24:51 So we have cayenne, cayenne gives us a nice kick,
24:53 we also have jalapeno, okay?
24:54 So this is going to be a delicious burger,
24:56 nice and spicy.
24:57 Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
24:59 Real spice.
25:00 And remember we are doing food as medicine.
25:01 Cayenne is an anti-inflammatory,
25:03 so we use it a lot in medicine for joint pain.
25:05 So right here we are doing food as medicine.
25:08 Nice.
25:10 Crumbs.
25:11 It's just a binder to bind it together.
25:14 And then our oatmeal. Okay.
25:18 I have my cilantro right here. Okay.
25:21 I'm going to start grabbing some of these,
25:23 get these out of your way.
25:24 And then your pepper. My jalapeno.
25:27 Would you want to cut the end out, okay?
25:29 We're going to use seed in all because we, it is southwest,
25:33 we needed to be spicy.
25:34 Oh, yes, it's going to have some spice.
25:36 If the people don't like spice...
25:39 Then don't put the seeds in there.
25:41 That's right. All right, that is delicious.
25:44 You're going to love it.
25:45 And this is a very, very simple,
25:46 everything's already in there, okay?
25:48 This is quick, this is fast.
25:50 We're going to pulse it for 10 times.
25:51 We're going to go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
25:56 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
26:01 That is ready.
26:02 Oh, wow. We're done.
26:04 So he's going to use this bowl,
26:05 and we're going to mix this together.
26:07 Here we go. Smell there, Jason.
26:08 Smell it. Oh, yeah.
26:10 Welcome to Texas. Welcome to Texas.
26:12 That smells good.
26:14 We need to get that in oven.
26:16 Yes. Watch your blade.
26:18 Yeah
26:20 Okay. It smells really good.
26:21 So we're going to just scoop that out,
26:23 and we are going to make burgers.
26:24 So we're going to do about four to six burgers
26:26 depending on the size.
26:28 Okay.
26:29 And again, we could see our corn in here,
26:32 we can see our oat, we can see our bean,
26:34 we can see our jalapeno, we have texture in here.
26:37 So when you bite into that burger,
26:38 you get to feel all that things in there.
26:40 Yes, yes.
26:42 So we're going to get these.
26:44 We're going to get nice burgers, okay?
26:47 We want a nice sized ball.
26:51 Doctor's spraying that pan,
26:53 now we're going to make those patties.
26:55 We're ready.
26:57 So we're going to put them here,
26:58 and we are going to bake for about nine minutes per side
27:04 on 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
27:06 Okay, okay.
27:07 All right, so... Nine minutes per side.
27:10 Right, so, you know,
27:11 you can also do perfect burgers.
27:14 We do that sometimes using
27:16 how do we make our perfect burgers out.
27:18 We use a mold.
27:19 We actually just mold them out
27:21 and you get perfect size burgers
27:23 and each burger is going to be exactly the same.
27:25 Wow.
27:27 So you don't have somebody saying,
27:28 "Well, I want that one because that's one bigger so."
27:29 Now, I'm curious, can you do this on the stove as well
27:32 or is it just baked?
27:34 Oh, you can do it on the stove,
27:36 but remember we want to be very careful with the oil,
27:38 so we don't like to fry anything,
27:40 okay, but it can be done the stove as well.
27:43 Okay.
27:45 So we got our patties here. Okay.
27:48 And then we don't fit no more,
27:49 so we're going to put those in the oven, okay.
27:52 That's right, 359 minutes per side.
27:55 359 minutes per side.
27:58 All right, I like that burger too.
28:00 Those ingredients together smell absolutely amazing.
28:04 And in the interest of time,
28:05 we already have some prepared, so...
28:07 On time, yes.
28:09 So these are patty.
28:11 We have our buns right here.
28:12 We have whole wheat buns.
28:13 For me, actually they taste better in whole wheat
28:17 because you get the Southwest feel to it,
28:20 then I'm going to put our patties.
28:22 And we use whole wheat because we're moving away
28:25 from the processed white flour,
28:27 which does not have enough fiber and nutrients.
28:31 So we want to recommend whole wheat.
28:33 And if someone doesn't like the bread,
28:37 they can go with lettuce.
28:39 Simple lettuce wrap. Yeah.
28:41 So this is going to...
28:43 Less carbs as well, less calories.
28:44 I'm gonna decorate this burger, nice big tomato in there.
28:48 Yeah, that's a juicy tomato.
28:49 Oh, it looks delicious.
28:51 I'll also add some purple onion in here.
28:53 Oh, now we're talking.
28:55 So I'm gonna cut a little wedge as well.
28:58 Okay. All right.
29:00 So we got little wedges in here.
29:02 And for your home, you can add some veganaise.
29:05 Veganaise to this to make it a little delicious.
29:07 Yeah, put a little sauce on that.
29:09 Right, and away from the cholesterol.
29:11 That's right.
29:13 Yeah, so you can still eat healthy
29:17 and not sacrifice flavor.
29:18 That's wrong.
29:20 That for me is extremely important.
29:22 That is the point for all of us.
29:23 Because if I have to sacrifice flavor, it's not happening.
29:26 That's right.
29:27 So that is nice.
29:29 So the burger is ready to go, looks delicious,
29:34 we're going to try it after the show.
29:35 Yes.
29:37 What are we going to be making next?
29:38 Next, we're going to be making our,
29:43 the Dr. Cooper's rosemary-lemon tofu kebabs.
30:15 Now I'm excited about this one.
30:18 Again, I have no idea where to begin.
30:20 What are we going to start with here?
30:22 Jason, this is a whole meal.
30:24 We have our carbohydrate from our potato,
30:26 we have the tofu, rich source of protein,
30:29 and we have our vegetables.
30:30 This is great for party.
30:32 Chef, where are we starting?
30:33 We're going to start with our tofu.
30:36 We are going to dice this up nice and large
30:38 because we want it to show off, okay?
30:42 So we have half a pack in here.
30:45 So we're going to cut into squares.
30:48 We're going to try to get them nice and even
30:51 which means even size, even cookery.
30:56 Right. And tofu is made from what?
30:58 What's tofu made from, Chef Edgar?
31:00 Tofu is made out of the soy bean.
31:02 It's a soy bean curd,
31:03 so there's a lot of protein in there, so this is delicious.
31:07 And I love cooking with tofu because I keep marinated
31:11 or she's in however we want, and it's like a sponge.
31:13 It just absorbs everything I put in.
31:15 I can put barbecue sauce, I could put salt, pepper,
31:18 soy sauce, whatever you could think,
31:20 this is going to absorb it.
31:22 And it'll, yes, kind of take those flavors.
31:25 Exactly. Okay.
31:26 So let's proceed there, Chef.
31:28 I'm going to put these to the side, okay,
31:30 now I'm going to cut my bell pepper
31:32 and start prepping for my kebabs.
31:35 All right, now what about what tofu,
31:38 how they say something about estrogen in tofu,
31:42 what's going on there?
31:44 It has phytoestrogen,
31:46 and actually phytoestrogen protects us
31:48 against breast cancer and prostate cancer.
31:52 So the belief that tofu has estrogen
31:55 that's going to cause the breast tissue to grow
31:59 and cause cancer, this is not so.
32:00 It actually protects against breast cancer.
32:03 Okay, okay.
32:04 So again, I cut the little wedges out,
32:07 leave the seeds intact,
32:09 now I'm going to cut little squares, okay?
32:12 Why 'cause my skewers is going to go right through the middle.
32:15 So I want a nice piece of bell pepper in my skewers.
32:21 Bell pepper's high in vitamin A,
32:24 which is an antioxidant, vitamins A, C, D, E,
32:28 these are antioxidant that our bodies need
32:31 to fight cell aging and protect us against cancer.
32:36 So it's good for the skin too.
32:37 Good for the skin, good for the eyes,
32:39 just wonderful.
32:40 Okay.
32:41 So now I have my zucchini here.
32:44 Zucchini is amazing and delicious,
32:46 especially when paired with bell pepper.
32:49 And zucchini has a high water content.
32:52 So if someone wants to lose weight,
32:54 they should consume foods that are high in water content
32:57 because this is going to be lowering cholesterol,
33:00 not cholesterol but calories.
33:02 So they're not going to gain the weight
33:04 as if they were to eat food high in calories,
33:08 processed foods and so forth.
33:10 Got you.
33:11 And so you want to cut those kind of in thick slices?
33:13 Kind of thick slices,
33:15 almost the same size as a bell pepper.
33:17 Again, even size, even cooking time.
33:20 So while my bell peppers are still cooking,
33:24 my zucchini won't be burnt.
33:26 If this is lot thinner, this will be cooked quick
33:29 and my bell pepper will still be raw.
33:31 And that's when people start saying,
33:32 "Well, I don't like my kababs."
33:33 Why?
33:35 Because they were different size items.
33:37 So cut them same in size and you'll be perfect.
33:40 So our people at home need to make sure that...
33:42 You need to make sure that you cut it the same size
33:45 because he's got it nice and evenly cut.
33:50 And remember with this kebab,
33:51 you can put any vegetables you like.
33:54 You could even add fruits like pineapple.
33:57 Yes, pineapple with tofu, bell pepper,
33:59 oh, man, so delicious.
34:02 I believe it.
34:03 Onion, okay, I cut my root, I cut my top.
34:05 And again, onion has different layers,
34:08 so that's going to help us out.
34:10 I cut the half in threes,
34:12 and now I'm just going to cut in half.
34:14 And that gives me the same size as my bell peppers.
34:17 Got you.
34:19 I might have to make this.
34:20 And you notice, we're using a lot of onions, right?
34:22 Yes, yes.
34:24 Because we're using food as medicine.
34:25 We have a lot of patients out
34:26 in our Wellness and Disease Prevention Center
34:29 that are doing amazingly well using these same recipes
34:32 we're using here that I have in my book.
34:34 Wow.
34:35 Now what is garlic good for? Garlic?
34:38 Garlic is good for many things, right?
34:41 Fights inflammation,
34:43 garlic is good for blood pressure,
34:45 garlic is good for your immune system.
34:48 So I like to put garlic in almost everything
34:51 because I want to stay healthy without medications.
34:54 Yes, yes, and all the side effects,
34:56 and all that stuff.
34:57 Exactly. Yes.
34:59 So my stuff seasoning is on my tofu,
35:03 I have let that sit for a while,
35:05 I have let that soak in.
35:06 My potatoes, I have blanched them
35:08 and chilled them.
35:09 So I didn't overcook them, so they stay on my skewers.
35:13 Also, that is a great source of vitamins with your potato.
35:19 Now for those at home, what is blanching the potatoes?
35:22 Blanching, when the water comes to a boil,
35:25 I put my potatoes in there, until they're fork tender.
35:27 I could get a plastic fork,
35:29 and it punches and goes through the potato,
35:33 that means it's cooked.
35:34 I bring that out.
35:35 I put in an ice bath, it's water with ice,
35:37 I put that in there, and it completely stops them
35:39 from cooking and overcooking because if I overcook it,
35:43 my potato would just fall off.
35:46 So that's what I did.
35:47 Because we're going to bake this when we're done,
35:49 so we don't want to overcook the potatoes.
35:51 Okay.
35:53 And now I'm just assembling my kebab.
35:58 Any different way you want, you could do.
36:01 And again, like Doctor said, you could add fruits,
36:04 pineapples into this, and they'll be fantastic.
36:06 Yeah, that sounds delicious. It is delicious.
36:09 A lot of great seasoning, so we got our...
36:10 I'm just going to put this here.
36:12 Okay.
36:13 Then, of course, he's going to put all the spices on,
36:16 so we have olive oil,
36:19 we have lemon juice, and we have salt.
36:22 Okay, and all of that's going to be added here at the end.
36:26 And what is this?
36:27 This is rosemary.
36:29 This is one of the main spices here
36:31 to just give it some flavor.
36:34 Nice. Alrighty.
36:37 Okay, Chef, so he's just going to assemble a few of them.
36:39 Yeah, yeah, this is going to be the last one,
36:42 and then we're going to go into the marinade
36:44 that I'll be putting into the skewers.
36:46 It's very simple, it's very easy,
36:48 but it's very lively, very vibrant.
36:49 Yes.
36:51 And it gives all these vegetables life.
36:54 The rosemary, once it's roasted,
36:57 once it's dried, it just brings out aroma,
37:00 and the whole kitchen's gonna start smelling like it.
37:03 I think we should just do two of these and call it a day.
37:05 Two of them, exactly, and then...
37:06 Yeah, let's do two, then you do the marinade,
37:08 so the viewers can see how to spice this.
37:12 I got my lemon here,
37:14 so I'm going to do two tablespoons,
37:17 each half is going to give me a tablespoon.
37:19 So I got a tablespoon in there, a tablespoon in here.
37:24 Okay, and this nice lemon is going to help me
37:29 bring everything to life.
37:31 I also got my salt, you know,
37:33 I'm going to put my salt in here.
37:34 My paprika, I'm going to sprinkle it
37:36 over my skewers.
37:38 That is for color. Got you.
37:40 And the lemon, of course, is packed with vitamin C,
37:43 and, of course, vitamin C builds immune system.
37:46 And remember, this is medicine here we're preparing
37:48 right here on the show.
37:49 That's right, that's right.
37:51 And, you know, it'll add that nice citrus flavor to it.
37:53 Oh, flavor to it, absolutely. Absolutely.
37:56 My rosemary, okay?
37:57 I got my rosemary leaves,
37:59 I'm going to sprinkle these on top as well.
38:01 Okay. All right. Okay?
38:02 And you could also go with lemon all across.
38:07 Rotate.
38:08 We're going to rotate for flavor,
38:10 so we can get even distribution right.
38:12 And with the lemon, it also helps it stick on
38:15 to the skewers and to the vegetables.
38:16 Now how long do we put this in oven for?
38:18 Let's put your olive oil there.
38:21 They are going to be four minutes on each side.
38:24 Each side. Okay.
38:25 And it's going to be done on broil, not bake.
38:27 Got you.
38:29 So we put at four minutes, and we're going to rotate.
38:31 Alrighty? So let's get it in the oven.
38:33 Yeah, right. Then we're ready to go.
38:36 Yeah, yeah.
38:41 Alrighty.
38:42 So this dish has multiple color,
38:45 lots of nutrients.
38:48 Remember, when you're consuming your meals,
38:50 make sure you have multiple color
38:51 because each color will bring out
38:52 different vitamins and different nutrients.
38:54 Absolutely, so what's next? What are we making next?
38:56 Next, we're going to make an amazing quinoa salad.
39:39 You know, I see a lot of colors here.
39:41 And I'm wondering which one we're going to start with.
39:43 Well, we're going to start off with their quinoa.
39:45 That's our main, main ingredient here,
39:47 so we're going to start cooking our quinoa
39:48 with the extra virgin olive oil.
39:49 Quinoa, that's the whole grain,
39:52 a lot of people probably don't know what quinoa is.
39:54 That is true.
39:55 It's a whole grain, so it has the bran,
39:58 and the external side of the grain,
40:00 so we have the fiber, we have the nutrients,
40:03 and we use this a lot in the wellness center.
40:05 So we have a whole meal right here.
40:08 Whole grain, beans, protein, and vegetables, Edgar.
40:13 Wow. So olive oil goes into our pan.
40:16 Jason, will you help me out? Yeah.
40:18 Oh, look at that technique.
40:19 There we go, look at that.
40:21 I'm a professional. Yeah, that's right.
40:23 And then we're going to add our quinoa,
40:24 we're just going to stir that up.
40:26 A lot of people cook quinoa straight out,
40:29 and that's where you get that bitter taste of quinoa.
40:32 Once you cook it out with some olive oil,
40:34 you can get that sweetness out.
40:35 So it'll have a bitter taste if you don't cook it properly?
40:39 Slightly, yes, that's why people prefer
40:41 going to white rice or rice pilaf,
40:44 you know, because they're like, "Quinoa is just too bitter."
40:47 And that stuff's not good for you.
40:48 Exactly.
40:49 No, this is the best thing, this is substitute to rice.
40:51 And as I say, this is a whole grain
40:53 that gives all the nutrients,
40:54 the iron, the fiber, and good carbs.
40:57 All right, so what's next here, Edgar?
40:59 So we're going to cook that off for a little bit,
41:02 and then we're going to add some onion.
41:04 Onion is amazing
41:06 especially once you start cooking it off.
41:08 And it goes great with our quinoa here,
41:10 and with all the ingredients we are going to put.
41:13 Right here we have purple onion.
41:15 So I love using purple onion.
41:18 And we love to cook with onions because as I mentioned,
41:20 onions are great to build immune system, right?
41:24 And even to fight cancers and antioxidant,
41:27 anti-inflammatory.
41:28 Yes.
41:30 So let's get our onion in here, Chef,
41:31 I can put this here for you.
41:34 All right.
41:36 So once that gets going,
41:38 we're going to add our vegetable broth.
41:40 This is vegetable broth,
41:41 it's low on sodium to almost no sodium, okay?
41:44 Okay, so add a little vegetable broth here.
41:46 Add a little bit, yes.
41:48 Go ahead and pour that.
41:52 How long are we going to cook this for, Chef?
41:54 That is going to go for 20 minutes on a simmer.
41:57 We're also going to add our cumin, our cayenne,
41:59 and a pinch of salt to get that going.
42:01 Just go ahead and add that, Jason.
42:03 Again, that goes for 20 minutes on a simmer.
42:06 We get it to a boil, we cover it up,
42:08 and that goes straight into...
42:10 And you said a pinch of salt?
42:11 A pinch of salt. A pinch of salt.
42:13 Go ahead and pinch. All right, there we go.
42:14 That's a tiny pinch.
42:15 Okay, that's all...
42:17 Another pinch, go ahead, Jason.
42:18 You want another pinch.
42:20 You're living dangerous. No, no.
42:22 Now remember salt will increase the blood pressure,
42:26 so we're just doing salt to taste.
42:28 So a pinch is just a small amount.
42:30 All right, Edgar.
42:31 So we cover that up,
42:33 and we're going to let that simmer for 20 minutes,
42:36 and then we get that nice, nice,
42:38 fluffy quinoa that we'll love.
42:40 And with that cumin, that cayenne,
42:42 it has that little kick, vegetable broth,
42:44 it just explodes with favor.
42:46 Good, but, you know, on TV
42:47 we don't have 20 minutes to let it set,
42:50 so did you have some prepared that we had it?
42:52 So we have, right here this is our quinoa.
42:53 This is what we call TV miracle.
42:56 Boom, that's correct.
42:58 All right. So we got everything done.
43:01 We have our quinoa,
43:02 and we're going to take it out, again.
43:05 We have that cayenne, we have that cumin,
43:08 we have vegetable broth all in here.
43:10 It's almost like a rice but better.
43:12 That's right. Good.
43:14 And our patients love it.
43:15 Let's assemble this together.
43:17 We're going to assemble this.
43:19 Now are you going to leave the seeds in?
43:20 No, we're going to take the seeds in.
43:22 Not this time, okay. Now this is very spicy.
43:24 Not everybody likes spicy. Got you.
43:26 We got cayenne in there already,
43:27 so it gives a little kick as well.
43:32 We're going to... Watch your fingers.
43:34 Yeah.
43:35 Again, fingers always behind the knife,
43:37 always behind the blade.
43:42 And as we mentioned, this is the whole dish.
43:45 We have our legumes, protein,
43:48 we have our corn, vegetable,
43:51 and they have our whole grain right there.
43:52 Nice.
43:54 Then we have even got a little lemon
43:56 for a little citrus flavor.
43:57 Oh, yeah.
43:58 That's right, a lot of vitamin C there
44:00 to build up your immune system.
44:01 Yes. Jalapeno is in here.
44:02 Okay.
44:04 We're going to add our corn in here as well, okay?
44:07 We're going to add our black beans in here
44:09 as well, okay?
44:11 And we're going to get a little more of that onion, okay?
44:15 Just a tad, just a tad.
44:17 We're going to cut one little piece out,
44:20 we gonna chop this up right here, all right.
44:25 And you noticed,
44:26 we like to cook with a lot of onions
44:28 because of their nutritional value there.
44:30 Yes, yes.
44:32 And onions are absolutely delicious.
44:34 Delicious. In just about any dish.
44:36 Good, good God.
44:38 And since this has corn, this has jalapeno,
44:41 this has cumin, this has all kinds of things,
44:45 it's only fair that we have cilantro.
44:48 All right, all right.
44:49 We make it so Texas, right?
44:51 Yeah, that's right.
44:52 We love cilantro.
44:53 So we're going to chop the stems and arm.
44:55 Why?
44:56 Many people take out the stems, and it just...
44:57 Stem have so much flavor in them,
45:00 and people are missing out.
45:01 Got you.
45:03 We're gonna chop this up, we're gonna rough chop it.
45:05 Again, it's a rough dish, okay?
45:08 So it doesn't need to be fine.
45:09 Exactly, no.
45:11 And this is called Southwest quinoa.
45:12 Oh, yeah, I smell it. There you go.
45:15 But for the viewers at home, if you do not like cilantro,
45:18 you could use any herbs that you prefer, all right?
45:21 And lemon, we are going to roll it.
45:24 Now why do you roll it first?
45:25 Does that add...
45:27 Does it bring out extra whatever?
45:28 Juice. Exactly.
45:29 We get all that juice out, okay?
45:34 And this, we're going to spray it all over.
45:37 Oh, yeah.
45:38 Then we get that one tablespoon in there.
45:40 Now we mix this up.
45:42 And that's ready to go. This is ready to go.
45:45 And we usually serve this
45:46 over a bed off green leafy vegetables.
45:50 Yes, here you have kale, you have spinach,
45:52 you have a spring mix,
45:54 anything green, this is fantastic with it.
45:57 Nice, nice.
45:58 It's so colorful. And it's served cold.
46:01 You can serve cold, serve hot,
46:03 with this you could do so many things with it.
46:06 So it's nice and colorful,
46:08 we got everything mixed together.
46:10 We're going to try this after.
46:12 Come on, Jason, leave it right there.
46:13 You want to... You want to try...
46:14 We'll try it after the show.
46:16 Oh, you are killing me.
46:18 All right, fine.
46:20 That's the Cooper once she says
46:21 then we have to wait till the very end.
46:22 I know it.
46:24 But it's right here.
46:25 Okay, Jason, go ahead, taste it.
46:27 Oh, you know what?
46:29 Okay, we'll wait, we'll wait, we'll wait.
46:31 All right, what's the next recipe?
46:33 The next recipe is delicious, it's so, so good.
46:37 We have a papaya banana ice cream.
46:50 I love ice cream.
46:52 And I'm so excited about trying this.
46:53 So where do we start?
46:55 It looks like we got the blender out.
46:57 That's right, Jason.
46:58 We got a couple of fresh and well, frozen ingredients.
47:00 Right, I have save the best for last.
47:05 This is one of my family favorites.
47:06 So we're going to do banana papaya ice cream.
47:09 Very, very simple and easy recipe.
47:12 We're going to pour our milk, which is almond milk,
47:16 half a cup, then we're going to add our frozen banana.
47:19 This should be very ripe.
47:21 If you want it to be very, very sweet,
47:25 then use ripe banana.
47:26 Got you.
47:28 Then we're going to add our papaya,
47:30 and then to get it to be creamy,
47:34 we're going to add our non dairy milk powder last.
47:39 So let's see what we do here.
47:40 Let's get this going.
47:42 It's going to make some noise.
48:09 That's really... That looks thick.
48:12 This is ice cream, look at the consistency.
48:15 Now we're adding our milk powder there.
48:17 This is coconut milk powder.
48:19 All right, let's go here.
48:38 Okay, making some noise here.
48:40 We're going to get this thoroughly mixed together.
48:44 It is delicious, let's go.
49:00 I think...
49:02 This is a nice healthy ice cream.
49:04 Healthy dessert.
49:05 And if parents want to keep the kids healthy,
49:09 and you have friends coming over,
49:13 this is a good way to go.
49:15 So we're going to taste this.
49:16 I know Edgar is shaking over there
49:18 'cause he wants to taste it.
49:19 He's like a kid.
49:21 Yeah, yeah, I only saw two cups at the beginning of it,
49:22 now I saw...
49:24 It's three cups. Yeah, you got a little nervous.
49:25 You got a little nervous.
49:27 And you can keep this in the refrigerator
49:29 to keep it really hard and frozen.
49:31 Look at the texture.
49:32 That's for Edgar because he's been waiting
49:34 the longest, right?
49:36 And then, Jason, you're going to try this.
49:39 I don't know if you could eat all of this on camera.
49:41 I don't know.
49:42 But this is so creamy and delicious.
49:45 Try that, Jason, tell me what you think?
49:47 There you go, that's your spoon.
49:49 Thank you. Alrighty.
49:51 All right.
49:52 What do you guys think?
49:55 Jason, what do you think?
49:58 That's good.
49:59 Right, and, you know,
50:01 you can use any form of frozen fruit.
50:03 I mean it has that ice cream consistency.
50:06 It is really delicious, yeah, alrighty.
50:10 And we are getting a lot of vitamins
50:14 and no cholesterol.
50:16 So this is a healthier dessert.
50:18 It tastes, I mean, it has that ice cream texture.
50:23 Very smooth, right?
50:25 This is great on a nice summer day.
50:28 Looks like it, feels like it, tastes like it.
50:30 And it's not too sweet.
50:33 You know, my kids.
50:34 I usually just make these ice cream, and they're,
50:36 "Mom, what did you put in it?"
50:37 I said, "I'm not going to be telling,
50:39 why don't you guess and see what it is?"
50:41 And they just enjoy this.
50:42 My husband has asked me,
50:44 "Can you make me some of that ice cream?"
50:46 Very delicious, so...
50:47 Edgar, do you have children?
50:49 My son, he's about to be eight months.
50:52 He's all kinds of veggies,
50:54 he doesn't like nothing else but veggies.
50:56 He likes eating everything that we do
50:58 at the Cooper Wellness Center.
50:59 Why? 'Cause it helps him grow.
51:01 He's eight months, he has not gotten sick.
51:04 So he loves, loves ice cream.
51:06 This is perfect from, why?
51:07 Because secretly he's eating fruits.
51:10 So he doesn't know what he's eating.
51:11 He thinks it's ice cream, he's eating fruits.
51:13 Yeah, yeah. That's right.
51:15 This is very good point, Edgar, you know,
51:16 some of the kids don't like fruits.
51:18 So a good way to get them to eat fruit is to do what?
51:21 Make ice cream, make smoothies, and just use...
51:25 Or even vegetable, blend everything together.
51:28 I usually put here peanut butter in my ice cream.
51:31 My kids will be having good peanut butter
51:34 so they'll have their protein right there
51:37 in this blended fruit ice cream.
51:38 I could see this is becoming like a smoothie,
51:42 like a nice smoothie.
51:44 But when you add the milk here, the dairy milk,
51:47 you see it give that creamy.
51:49 The... Oh, the non dairy milk?
51:51 The non dairy milk powder, it gives that creamy flavor.
51:55 This is delicious.
51:56 So if your kids don't like fruits,
51:58 this is the way to get them to have their fruits.
52:00 And for our viewers,
52:01 if you all think that is going to overpower the papaya,
52:05 not at all.
52:06 This is delicious.
52:07 If you don't like papaya, try it out anyways.
52:09 It does not give you that papaya flavor.
52:11 This is delicious. It tastes like ice cream.
52:14 You have to try this. Right.
52:15 Yeah, yes, absolutely.
52:17 It is delicious, and I love papaya taste.
52:21 One of the things I used to get in New York City
52:22 was papaya juice.
52:24 Yeah.
52:25 Papaya juice is absolutely amazing.
52:28 And so to see the papaya,
52:30 well to taste the papaya and the banana
52:32 in an ice cream, this is a treat.
52:35 At our center, we also make up a papaya drink
52:39 because we do nice, organic raw juices,
52:43 and our patients love it.
52:45 Not only that they love it,
52:46 they're getting lots of nutrients,
52:48 lot of vitamins, and they're losing weight,
52:51 they're lowering their blood sugar,
52:52 lowering their cholesterol, lowering their blood pressure,
52:55 and they're getting off medication.
52:56 What's good about the papaya?
52:59 Nutritional.
53:00 Papaya, lots of fiber,
53:02 lots of vitamin, vitamin A, vitamin C.
53:06 And as I told you, vitamin C is great for the immune system.
53:09 So people are getting cold, and cough, and flus.
53:13 If they eat papaya, and any fruit,
53:15 that's going to build the immune system.
53:17 Vitamin A is great for the eyes.
53:20 It's an antioxidant.
53:22 It's good to prevent cell aging, cell death,
53:26 and help to protect your body against cancer.
53:29 So vitamin C is really good, vitamin A is fantastic,
53:32 and lots of fiber in this papaya.
53:36 You know what?
53:37 Can I be honest with you guys?
53:38 Go ahead, Jason.
53:40 I'm trying to get you guys to talk more
53:41 so I can eat all of this.
53:44 I saw that.
53:45 I saw you holding your cup, although I put mine down.
53:48 I got to pick it up, I got to pick it up.
53:49 You guys go ahead.
53:50 You know, in this banana,
53:52 we have banana here that's high in potassium.
53:55 And potassium will help to decrease blood pressure.
53:59 So plant-based meals are high in potassium,
54:03 and that's one of the reason
54:05 why the blood pressure will drop in a patient
54:08 who is more plant-based, whole food, whole grain...
54:13 Because potassium lowers.
54:14 Yes, so sodium increases blood pressure
54:17 because sodium pulls water into the blood vessels,
54:20 the blood pressure will go up.
54:22 Potassium is a reverse.
54:24 So diet high in potassium, which are plant-based diet,
54:28 will help to lower blood pressure.
54:30 Wow!
54:31 Now you also offer seminars, and cooking classes,
54:34 and all those things.
54:36 We're going to go to an address roll
54:38 'cause I want people to know how they can get the book,
54:40 how they can book you for seminars
54:42 and all of that stuff.
54:43 So let's go to that now.
54:45 If you would like to purchase Dr. Cooper Dockery's books,
54:48 including her cookbook,
54:50 Incredibly Delicious Vegan Recipes

55:53 and then we came back to our ice cream.
55:55 Wow!
55:56 So we made quite a bit.
55:58 And we see that there's multiple different uses
56:00 for the meatballs.
56:01 Right, and as you see this party,
56:04 party presentation,
56:05 so if you're having a party at home, these are beautiful,
56:08 healthy, guilt free dishes that you can use at home.
56:12 Yes, yes, and everything's festive, and colorful.
56:15 What are you going to say, Chef?
56:16 No, no, no, I was just going to add to
56:19 what you were saying
56:20 and the doctor were saying, the meatballs,
56:22 you could use them in different ways.
56:24 And this is a food for family.
56:26 As you see, it's a party feel.
56:28 You can make a lot

56:41 It's not super labor intensive...
56:43 No. It's healthy.
56:45 And most importantly, delicious.

56:50 So nutritious, and delicious,
56:52 and you are trying to help people
