00:01 Have you ever wondered exactly how to prepare healthy food
00:03 that actually tastes good?
00:05 Well, stay tuned while Evita Tezeno
00:07 and yours truly Nyse Collins show you
00:09 just how to do it and give you something better,
00:12 A Taste of Paradise.
00:30 Welcome to A Taste of Paradise. My name is Evita Tezeno.
00:34 And don't we all love fries?
00:37 Yes, but fries do not love us,
00:39 they're high unsaturated fats and they're not good for us.
00:44 But today I'm gonna show you two variations of fries
00:48 that is very good for you.
00:50 First we're gonna use the jicama
00:53 and then second we're gonna use avocado.
00:56 So let's go to the jicama recipe first.
01:17 This is a real simple recipe.
01:21 Very, very, very easy and very quick.
01:24 So we have the jicama
01:26 cut into fries first in thin slices.
01:32 At first what I'm gonna show you
01:34 is how to cut a jicama.
01:36 It's real simple, it's a kind of hard fruit
01:42 but this is hard vegetable
01:44 but it is very easy to cut.
01:47 So you just cut it and just peel it back like this,
01:52 just real simple.
01:55 So after cutting the strips, you take the strips
01:59 and you just sprinkle on the olive oil first,
02:03 so the seasonings will stick to the jicama.
02:09 And just toss it around,
02:13 and I like to put the salt on first.
02:20 And we're using Himalayan salt,
02:23 'cause most of the white commercial salt
02:27 that's in the supermarkets are bleached.
02:32 Onion powder...
02:37 garlic, paprika
02:41 which gives it a wonderful red color,
02:47 little cayenne and chili powder.
03:03 I'm gonna save plating this to the end
03:05 so we could show each one of the recipes,
03:09 so now we're gonna go to the avocado fries.
03:37 Now this is a simple way to open up an avocado
03:43 and take the seed out,
03:44 you just twist it and it's simply easy.
03:49 And we're going to just,
03:51 slice the avocado in slices.
03:57 Avocado is my favorite fruit.
04:00 It's so creamy and delicious
04:03 and I eat it on almost everything.
04:09 So we're going to continue to cut the avocadoes in strips.
04:17 And this is a easy, this recipe is very easy
04:21 and you don't have to,
04:23 we're gonna use the dehydrator today,
04:24 but if you don't have a dehydrator,
04:27 we can serve it without dehydrating them.
04:33 So you want to put the flaxseed,
04:38 the onion powder, garlic powder,
04:42 chili powder, the salt,
04:48 the cumin, and the cayenne.
04:52 And mix it together.
04:54 And you want to just drop the avocadoes in
04:59 and coat them really, really well.
05:08 And after you've coated them,
05:11 you want to get to dehydrated sheet
05:15 and just place them on a dehydrated sheet,
05:18 place them on the sheet and dehydrate them overnight.
05:22 I will say it for about eight to ten hours.
05:28 And now we're gonna do some ketchup.
05:32 And the recipe for the ketchup:
06:01 So we want to put the softer
06:04 or the liquid ingredients in first.
06:07 So we're putting in the tomatoes,
06:09 and this is the water
06:10 from the soaked sun-dried tomatoes,
06:13 and I keep this because I use this in soups
06:17 and also in dressings and it's really good,
06:20 it adds a lot of flavor.
06:22 And the lemon juice...
06:27 the olive oil and the garlic.
06:51 We put the onions in, and then the dates.
07:20 And you want to do it in stages because you want to make sure
07:23 that all your ingredients are thoroughly blended.
07:28 And the last ingredient is the sun-dried tomatoes.
07:45 I'll give it a little stir.
08:00 So let's plate it.
08:05 These are the Avocado French fries.
08:12 The Jicama fries.
08:19 And put a little ketchup in here.
08:26 And I want to try one of them.
08:32 Very, very good.
08:35 Crunchy and you have a little spice.
08:39 These fries are so good
08:42 and you don't have to worry about fattening
08:46 or cholesterol because they are not fried.
08:52 They are vegetables and they are raw,
08:55 so remember to live life fresh.
09:07 Mama Mia Frutti Pizza.
09:10 I know you all are like, Nyse then, he had lost it now.
09:13 Yes, I did say frutti pizza,
09:15 and I'm not talking about the unpredictable fruit
09:17 that we done before, you know, the tomatoes
09:20 and avocado and a bell peppers and all of that stuff.
09:24 We're talking about frutti, frutti pizza.
09:27 Yes, you know that Italian runs in our blood,
09:29 so on every season you're gonna see something
09:31 that has to do with pizza,
09:34 or pasta, or something like that.
09:36 But this time we're gonna do a little twist to it.
09:39 Yes, we're gonna make a fruit pizza.
09:42 The one that tastes really, really good,
09:45 and I'm truly excited
09:47 because we're also gonna color it like a rainbow.
09:49 Many times you've noticed when you look at toppings,
09:51 it's just all dry and looking tired and stuff.
09:54 Well, this one is gonna be a fresh one.
09:56 Evita will be proud of us, she will be really so excited,
10:00 but there's only one thing
10:02 we did have to cook the crust a little bit,
10:03 but I know she'll forgive me
10:05 but everything else is living life fresh.
10:07 So you're gonna enjoy this one and a pizza is crucial.
10:11 Now a lot of people they...
10:13 When they're trying to live a healthy lifestyle,
10:14 they become a little sad sometimes
10:16 because they say, "Well, what do I do with my pizza?"
10:19 Because most times the pizza or a crust
10:21 or whatever it's made from white flour,
10:23 then you got all that is cheese on top of it
10:25 which is causing problems there with a cholesterol
10:27 and a blood pressure and stuff.
10:29 And they always say, "Man, I have to give up pizza."
10:31 Well, watch this, don't worry,
10:33 you don't have to give up anything anymore.
10:35 We already did the other type of pizza,
10:37 we call it a Pitha Pizza
10:39 but this one is gonna be a Frutti Pizza.
10:41 But one of the key ingredients now to the pizza is the crust.
10:45 I know you're about to say the sauce,
10:47 we're gonna get to that or a toppings,
10:49 but you need a very good crust.
10:52 And so in order to make this Frutti Pizza from Mama Mia,
10:56 we're gonna have to make a good crust.
10:58 So let's look at a simple recipe
11:00 that you can knock out
11:01 Mama Mia's Frutti Pizza, Pizza Crust.
11:03 All you need is:
11:19 Oil as simple as that.
11:21 Yes, that's all you need to make this crust.
11:23 This thing is simple, of course you know what it is,
11:26 it's the thin crust.
11:27 We're gonna do the thin crust today,
11:28 but this crust taste so good,
11:30 it's almost like communion bread.
11:31 All right, don't get in me trouble,
11:33 don't tell my pastor I said that.
11:34 But this is good stuff, so what we're gonna do
11:36 is we're gonna take the flour,
11:37 we're just gonna pour those in here.
11:39 All right, so we have the unbleached
11:41 and we have the whole wheat flour,
11:42 then we're gonna go ahead,
11:44 we're gonna put that salt in there, the sea salt as well.
11:47 And we're gonna mix those items up nicely there.
11:50 Just make sure you do it properly,
11:52 so we get no salty spots in our crust there.
11:54 And then we're gonna a make a little, you know me,
11:58 I always like to make some little hole here.
12:00 We're gonna take the water,
12:01 we're gonna put the water in there,
12:02 and also we're gonna take the oil, all right, olive oil.
12:07 Use what you want there but preferably, you know,
12:10 they say the king of all oils is the olive oil.
12:13 All right, so we're gonna mix those up,
12:15 we're gonna get like a nice little dough.
12:17 You can't have pizza without the crust,
12:19 because it has a good dough.
12:21 So you not know, frozen one
12:23 prepared for you already in the store,
12:25 this one we'll make it from scratch,
12:27 and I encourage you to get the kids involve.
12:30 Unfortunately you ask the kids, "Where does pizza come from?"
12:33 "From that pizza shop,
12:34 from this company, that company."
12:35 I'm not gonna do any promotion here today,
12:37 they already did enough.
12:38 And they don't realize
12:40 that they can make the pizza themselves.
12:41 Matter of fact this crust is so good,
12:43 let's say you didn't want to put fruit topping on it,
12:45 you could put the other toppings as well,
12:47 so please get,
12:49 you may write this down and apply it.
12:51 You see right here it's gonna get nice and thick,
12:53 this is your dough,
12:54 and you know what's gonna happen today.
12:56 I'm gonna have to get my hands dirty
12:59 because we have to knead it properly
13:00 so it comes out really nice
13:02 but you see I'm trying to do as much as I can without,
13:05 so I'm gonna put this down.
13:07 It's time to get dirty in a kitchen.
13:09 And if you come out of the kitchen not dirty,
13:11 you wasn't cooking, all right,
13:12 so I'm gonna take that, remove this bowl,
13:15 I'm gonna get that going right there.
13:16 We're just gonna get it to nice consistency there
13:18 which I want to mix it properly.
13:21 Oh, man, look at that. The kids will love this.
13:24 And I guarantee you this.
13:25 If you teach them now how to do it,
13:28 man, they will make this for the rest of their life.
13:29 They'll make it for generations,
13:31 to the third and fourth generations.
13:33 The curses are not the only thing
13:35 that run in a family,
13:36 but the blessings do too,
13:37 and you can do that by teaching your kids.
13:40 Please take some time out.
13:42 They say the family that prays together,
13:44 stay together.
13:45 I want to take it to the next step.
13:47 Well, what did they do
13:48 when they're about to eat, they pray.
13:49 So they pray then they eat,
13:51 so the family that eats and cooks together
13:53 will definitely by God's grace only stay together.
13:56 So what we have there is the nice pizza dough,
14:00 and we're gonna get all in it.
14:03 Forgive me it's not going to be the prettiest thing right now.
14:06 Well, work with me.
14:07 And then you know how we do it up,
14:09 I'm making a mess here.
14:10 You know, how we do, we're trying to...
14:12 try to get that going
14:14 and you just make it round and round and round.
14:16 Oh, man, long time ago my mom had me making this stuff,
14:20 hundreds of them for the community.
14:22 And I'm like, "Mom, these guys could cook for themselves.
14:25 Why are we cooking so much food for the community?"
14:28 She said, "Just do it son."
14:29 And you know back then, it was miracle
14:32 that I was able to even ask a question,
14:34 normally you don't ask question.
14:35 You just do it as mama said.
14:36 And so we always made food for the community.
14:39 We used to make what is known as roti, okay.
14:42 You know, my mom is from Trinidad,
14:43 so we make roti,
14:45 hundreds of roti and bread and all the stuff.
14:47 And I'm like, "Mom, you're spoiling these people.
14:50 They can make their own."
14:51 And she said, "Son, just do as I say."
14:54 And real quick before I finish my story.
14:55 We're gonna take this item, the dough
14:58 we're gonna put that on there.
14:59 We're gonna make it even more now.
15:01 And she said, "Just do as I say."
15:02 And so after a while I notice she would feed a community,
15:05 literally there will be lines at our door.
15:08 Lines of people at our door
15:10 going ahead and eating all of our food.
15:13 But you know what happened when the crusade time came.
15:16 Well, they had an evangelistic series
15:17 in the area.
15:19 All my mom had to do is like, hello, everybody.
15:21 They say, yes Mrs. Jodes.
15:23 She says, I'm going to church, you want to come with me?
15:25 They say, sure let's go.
15:27 And literally, you remember the lines
15:28 that was at our door for food,
15:30 there was literally a line of people
15:32 following mom to church.
15:34 And I said, oh, she thinks she is smart.
15:37 But when you look at the life of Jesus,
15:38 he fed the people.
15:39 He fed them, he met their needs
15:41 and as a result, what did he say?
15:43 Come and follow, he begged them to follow.
15:45 So I think you all should do it.
15:47 Now I truly understand what it means by what?
15:50 There is more religion in a loaf of bread,
15:53 but I'm gonna change it up.
15:54 There's more religion in our frutti pizza
15:57 than anywhere that you can say, so when you make this,
16:00 make enough for everybody, your neighbors, your friend,
16:03 invite them over and man, you're gonna have a good time.
16:07 So here we go, there is our pizza dough,
16:10 it looks a little suspect you know, we'll work with it.
16:13 You're not gonna be looking at the dough
16:14 when it's all done,
16:16 you're gonna look at the frutti pizza.
16:17 So what you're gonna do, you're gonna take this,
16:19 put this in an oven at about 300-350 degrees
16:21 until it becomes, don't cook too much
16:24 but it has to be nice and ready there.
16:26 And I'll show you a little example
16:28 how can you tell that is not too doughy
16:30 because you don't want
16:32 to come out to early with doughy.
16:34 You wanted to come with Nyse,
16:36 so you take your fork and you stick it in there
16:38 so make sure it's ready to roll,
16:39 and this is it, this is it.
16:41 This is ready, your dough was done and finished.
16:44 Now this dough is so good or this crust is so good,
16:48 literally you can eat it by yourself.
16:50 I'm telling I think this may be the same recipe for community,
16:53 I don't know somebody tell me, let me know.
16:55 But this thing is so good.
16:57 You take a piece of that, put it in your mouth,
16:59 it melts in your mouth.
17:01 And this is the key also
17:02 for using whole grain items or whatever
17:06 because digestion begins in a mouth.
17:07 Let me explain real quick what I mean.
17:11 With whole grain items they need to be cook properly
17:13 like a lot of people these days,
17:15 they're into this like raw oats,
17:17 and raw this and raw that
17:18 and that's good like the fresh fruits
17:20 that Evita has been cooking.
17:22 But let's look at oats per se real quick with the oats.
17:25 When we look at oats, oats need proper cooking, why?
17:29 Because digestion,
17:31 when you don't cook it properly,
17:33 this is oats now, all right.
17:35 When you don't cook it properly
17:36 as a result it doesn't digest properly, all right.
17:39 So now what we want to do,
17:41 they say sometimes like about one to two,
17:43 maybe two hours is a good time to bake down those oats.
17:46 One person says, I don't believe you,
17:48 you're making a stuff up.
17:50 I said, look in the Spirit of prophecy
17:52 there's a book called Ministry of Healing
17:53 or Counsels on Diet and Foods.
17:55 It said, grains used for porridge
17:57 or mush should have several hours of cooking.
17:58 All right, and thus those items the stuff that Evita is making,
18:02 for normal that don't need any cooking,
18:03 just eat it.
18:04 But the grains need cooking and as a result
18:06 it starts to breakdown those that whole grain
18:10 there in your mouth.
18:12 Let me just tell you a little story.
18:13 Anybody ever went to communion and when you went to communion
18:16 like you were so hungry that as a result you know,
18:20 when they pass the communion tray,
18:22 you ever noticed how some people
18:24 now don't look to anybody.
18:25 They'll be looking into tray, they'll be like.
18:27 What are they looking for?
18:28 They want the biggest piece of communion
18:30 and when I was young as small before you were around,
18:32 I used to be like man,
18:34 she looked for the biggest piece.
18:35 She must have sinned really bad.
18:37 Well, I didn't know there was some people forgive me,
18:40 I was a kid, that's all I was thinking.
18:42 I was like man, she is greedy.
18:43 And I realize she'll be greedy but she wasn't of course.
18:46 You know, may be she just want to make things right.
18:48 But do you ever notice when the pastor said,
18:50 hey, now you may partake.
18:52 Now when you ate that bread, did you just chew it down
18:55 and swallow it real quick, you were like no,
18:57 because you were little hungry and you know,
18:58 it was a special sacred moment there,
19:00 but you let it sit in a mouth and start chewing it,
19:03 you do it like literally chew that thing
19:05 so you couldn't chew it anymore.
19:06 And it started to taste what, sweet.
19:09 It wasn't that the sister added sugar to it,
19:12 but when you start breaking down the grains
19:14 or the starches, they turn into what?
19:17 Yes, you got it right.
19:19 It turns into the glucose
19:20 because digestion begins where everybody?
19:22 In the mouth.
19:24 So this is why at least with the whole grains
19:26 such as oats, those need proper cooking, all right.
19:30 So I hope, people are like, what?
19:32 No more raw oats. Here's how you can do it.
19:34 If you like to eat the oats like it is,
19:36 then take it when you buy it, put it on a flat tray,
19:39 put it in the oven, toast it on low heat
19:42 for about 200 or 250.
19:44 Don't cook it to death now,
19:45 just toast it so then when it's time to eat,
19:48 you'll notice that it starts to taste sweet.
19:51 Who could tell me why it tasted sweet
19:52 from our class that we just had?
19:54 Because you are now digesting the oats, or the whole grain.
20:00 Enough of digestion one-on-one.
20:01 Let's get back to the Frutti Mama Mia pizza, all right.
20:04 So now we have our crust here
20:06 and what we need to do, you ready?
20:09 I'm over here, I'm looking because I need my blender.
20:11 What we need to do
20:13 is we need to make a sauce for it.
20:15 All right, and a sauce is crucial.
20:17 You remember the key to pizza is in the what?
20:20 In the sauce.
20:22 So here it is a simple, simple frutti pizza sauce
20:26 for you from Mama Mia.
20:28 All you need is:
20:50 Yes, that's all you need for the whipped cream
20:53 and as a result you want to have your toppings,
20:56 the key is your toppings,
20:57 color your plate like a rainbow.
20:58 We're gonna get into that here in a second.
21:00 But let's go ahead and make this
21:01 so you take the oil.
21:02 Now, we've been using a little oil here this season,
21:06 and the reason why sometimes
21:08 is because we notice that some people,
21:10 they may only eat items
21:12 that doesn't have a little bit of fat in it
21:14 and as a result they get hungry quite rapidly.
21:17 So as a result fats take a little bit longer to digest,
21:21 they don't digest in a stomach they digest in intestine there.
21:24 So we want to make sure we have a little bit of fat,
21:26 and so if you do use the fat, make sure it's the good one,
21:29 like that one the olive oil, okay.
21:31 But if you don't want to use that,
21:33 then you can go ahead and just do some nuts,
21:34 may be cashews or something like that.
21:37 I ran out, so I'm sorry, I couldn't make it.
21:39 All right, then I have some evaporated cane juice crystals.
21:44 Watch this, the little secret ingredient is peaches,
21:47 about three to four peaches that's in there.
21:50 I already dumped that in
21:51 and then we have our pineapple juice
21:52 and our salt.
21:54 Hey, man, we're just having a good time.
21:55 This is like the easiest dressing you could make.
21:59 You could probably make it with your eyes close.
22:01 I just can't see what's going on here so don't do it.
22:02 All right, here we go.
22:04 We're gonna put the top on
22:05 and we got to get this rolling just for a couple of seconds.
22:21 All right, so it whipped a little bit.
22:23 Now I'm going to put this in it
22:24 'cause I got to mix it up a little bit more, all right.
22:27 I just want to let you all know,
22:28 so if you don't have one of these blenders,
22:30 you just have to mix it up properly, shake it up,
22:32 as you see there
22:33 and then we're gonna blend it one more time.
22:59 Voila, done.
23:00 Literally you have now your whipped cream,
23:02 this is something that you can do,
23:04 however do not use it unnecessarily
23:07 because you may turn it on
23:08 and add on some extra blessings,
23:10 literal blessings,
23:11 so this one you want to use sparingly.
23:13 You remember on your pie chart, your food pie,
23:15 your pie chart, your food pyramid.
23:17 It has what?
23:18 Oils and stuff at the top the least,
23:20 so this one here you want to use it
23:22 but once in a blue,
23:23 don't go overboard with it, all right.
23:25 So here we go.
23:27 We have that, I'm gonna push this to the side,
23:28 and I want to see if you all can see that here,
23:32 this is really simple, really easy this is your...
23:36 Look at that, look at that whipped cream, delicious,
23:40 tasty, there it is.
23:41 So what I'm going to do now, this is my topping,
23:43 you remember.
23:44 So here we go. I'm just gonna pour this out.
23:50 Man, I got to just use the spoon.
23:53 All right, so this is a nice,
23:55 a nice topping that could go on that,
23:58 let me just get some more there.
24:00 Now this is for special occasions like I said,
24:02 you have too much of this,
24:04 you're gonna be calling us back like, man, I though this was,
24:08 I'm starting to add on extra blessings.
24:09 Well, that's why we try to balance our blessings.
24:12 If we're under blessed so we don't have, you know,
24:14 we're not like that,
24:16 then this will help us to balance that out.
24:17 If you're over blessed, then you only want a slice.
24:19 Okay, no more of this.
24:23 This is the one that you don't order two slices.
24:25 So you put that over there nicely.
24:28 Matter of fact you can even stop right here,
24:30 and just eat it.
24:32 Sometimes people do
24:33 when they get that all around the edges there.
24:35 I like to go ahead and show a little bit of the crust
24:39 so you can still have that pizza,
24:41 that pizza look,
24:42 so you all see that crust there.
24:43 If you cover up the crust too much,
24:45 then it just look like another cake
24:46 or something like that, all right.
24:48 So here we go.
