3:21
and get that all incorporated down here

3:25
with their eggs so we're going to
3:26
alternate the dry ingredients along with
3:28
the
3:29
wet ingredients okay and i always start
3:31
with drying them with dry how about you
3:33
that's what i do
3:36
you've done this before i've done it a
3:38
time or two
3:41
it's terrific
3:48
[Music]
3:49
okay that looks great
3:52
so now
3:53
it does look delicious you know how you
3:55
said you always need eight arms in the
3:57
kitchen yes let me show you something
3:59
that makes
4:01
filling the cupcake um pans a lot easier
4:04
that's delicious batter ketchup
4:06
so what i've got here paula
4:09
is a resealable bag i've just inverted
4:12
it onto a measuring cup or a large
4:14
container i'm going to give you half the
4:15
batter okay
4:17
and then pour that in
4:19
okie doke and i'm going to take half
4:23
get that in there y'all listen up this
4:25
girl sounds like she might be full of
4:27
tips yeah yep have you put this over
4:29
here okay you can seal it up what you
4:31
can do is you can take your bag
4:34
and give it a little burp
4:35
and then
4:37
zip it up
4:39
okay and then you've got a pastry bag
4:41
we're going to take our scissors and
4:42
we're going to snip
4:44
like a quarter of an inch okay okay
4:46
again in there okay then like a machine
4:49
you can go through and squeeze
4:52
exactly two-thirds of the batter
4:55
what a smart idea aaron yeah
4:59
and this batter makes about 18. i'm just
5:01
gonna say and so now we're gonna put
5:03
this in a 350 degree oven for about
5:05
15-20 minutes okay and then while those
5:08
are baking we're going to go ahead and
5:09
make
5:10
our um chocolate templates oh
5:13
and that's going to be our fried chicken
5:15
bone i've got them on a small sheet pan
5:18
with the template and then a piece of
5:20
wax paper we've got some white melting
5:22
chocolate what we're going to do is
5:24
we're going to do the same resealable
5:27
bag trick
5:28
these are quart size bags okay so we
5:30
don't need such a big bag
5:32
here's a bag for you
5:34
bag for me and again we're going to snip
5:36
a small corner but this time we're going
5:38
to go even smaller like an eighth of an
5:40
inch
5:43
and what i've got here is our template
5:45
and we're going to outline it and we
5:46
don't have to be smooth or anything
5:48
we're just going to squeeze
5:50
outline our pattern
5:52
and then just fill it in
5:54
with the chocolate
5:56
this seems like it would be
5:58
a wonderful fun project to do with your
6:01
children yep
6:02
when we've completed our templates we're
6:04
going to pop these in the refrigerator
6:06
for about five minutes so that they get
6:08
nice and firm
6:09
and then we can peel them off
6:12
paula i got a surprise for you

7:47
they're center cut and it's got the
7:49
tenderloin on it
7:51
yummy yummy pork chops love that so what
7:53
i want to do is um
7:55
mix up a seasoning i'm going to take
7:58
four teaspoons of ancho chili powder
8:00
okay smell that
8:03
so it's not too not too spicy
8:06
and then i'm gonna add
8:08
one teaspoon of salt
8:11
and that's
8:12
that's our rub
8:13
that's our rub
8:15
and if you would just rub that on our
8:18
pork chops rub your meat rub your meat
8:20
rub your meat
8:22
guess those seasonings in there i'm
8:24
gonna be putting a little olive oil
8:27
now i've sprayed my pan
8:30
so my pork chops won't stick so just a
8:32
little bit of oil in there
8:35
perfect spreading it look at those chops
8:37
now this is
8:38
this is yeah go ahead and wash your
8:39
hands since you touched that meat
8:42
it's going to take my cast iron
8:44
a little bit to heat up because
8:47
cast iron as you know is a heavy heavy
8:49
cookware
8:51
so why don't we go ahead
8:53
and um
8:54
start our our glaze for our pork chops
8:57
okay all right let's cut on this eye
8:59
right here if you would measure us out
9:01
about three tablespoons of balsamic
9:04
vinegar okay we're gonna cook that down
9:07
uh to about half and it's gonna be like
9:10
the consistency of syrup so right in
9:13
that pan that goes
9:15
all right so this is starting to kind of
9:18
spit at us a little bit
9:21
so let's go ahead and put our pork chops
9:24
in here
9:27
look at these chops they are so big
9:29
they're delicious
9:30
you know this is out of my territory
9:32
here
9:33
well you're big into bacon aren't you
9:37
next we're gonna make a mixture of a
9:39
half a cup of butter maple syrup okay
9:43
and a half a cup of chicken stock
9:46
and after our balsamic vinegar
9:49
reduces down we're going to put the
9:51
chicken stock
9:53
and the syrup in there
9:55
we're going to pour it over
9:57
that sounds delicious doesn't that sound
10:00
wonderful
10:01
and back here we've got some sweet
10:03
potatoes y'all that we cubed and we've
10:06
balled all right so these are coming
10:08
right along can i drain those then are
10:10
they ready
10:11
go ahead and get those drained
10:14
right into that colander and you can see
10:17
down in there our ball stomach is
10:19
starting to boil
10:20
oh it's like a facial i know
10:24
okay let's put that here i don't want to
10:26
dump them on yet that's all right i'll
10:27
kind of guide them in there for you
10:30
ooh hot okay okay let's put these over
10:33
here all right so
10:35
we're gonna take karen three tablespoons
10:38
of honey okay
10:40
and a quarter of a teaspoon of cinnamon
10:42
and a quarter of a teaspoon of salt okay
10:45
and i think the recipe calls for a
10:47
quarter of a stick of butter but why
10:49
don't we do half okay
10:52
i have no problem with that
10:55
and look at our pork chops y'all
10:58
don't those look delicious
11:02
look at them
11:05
that chili powder has darkened them
11:09
and given them such rich color
11:13
we're doing karen and alan's cupcakes
11:15
today
11:16
but i tell y'all uh a person cannot live
11:19
on cupcakes alone no as much as i would
11:22
like to
11:24
we've got to have a little savory
11:26
our balsamic i think is ready for our
11:29
liquid now you just take that electric
11:32
mixer okay i can go ahead and beat it
11:35
guys okay
11:36
and in the meantime i'm gonna take
11:39
half a cup of the syrup
11:42
a half a cup of the chicken stock and
11:45
then we cook that down yes and then
11:47
we're going to reduce that down okay
11:50
and i'm going to let that continue to do
11:52
its magic
11:55
[Music]
12:06
[Laughter]
12:08
i like my sweet potatoes more sweet i
12:12

13:29
they do the most fabulous cupcakes
13:32
you've ever seen
13:34
and the ingredients they use we can get
13:36
them from any curb store
13:39
or grocery store
13:41
what that's what i call a curbside is
13:42
that okay
13:44
and that comes from a long time ago
13:47
in albany you pulled up to the curb and
13:50
somebody came out and waited on you
13:53
you didn't even have to go get out so we
13:56
called them curb stores
13:58
this looks delicious so
13:59
we have cooked up here
14:01
a wonderful maple
14:04
chili pork chop
14:06
we put some nuts on sweet potatoes yes
14:08
we're gonna garnish them with some
14:10
chopped nuts
14:12
and
14:13
why don't we put just a little parsley
14:15
we've got beautiful parsley here
14:18
so there we go
14:20
look how pretty that is
14:22
gorgeous so let's take a dig in
14:26
yes let's dig in
14:28
and i'm oh you're so welcome
14:30
i'm gonna go in for my tenderloin
14:33

15:00

15:02
i could stand here and i couldn't all
15:04
that bone but you know what i really
15:07
want to see what you're gonna sleep some
15:09
dessert okay to finish off the cupcakes
15:11
we've got our cooled cupcakes here i'm
15:14
gonna give you one
15:15
i recognize these these are donut homes
15:18
and what we're gonna do with the donut
15:20
hole
15:21
is we're gonna
15:22
take a small knife and just make a
15:24
little slit on the side
15:27
and then we're going to take the
15:28
hardened chocolate
15:31
and we're going to insert it so it looks
15:33
something like that there you go a nice
15:35
big mound of vanilla frosting on top of
15:37
the cupcake
15:39
okay so that's perfect we want a little
15:42
mound in the center and we're going to
15:43
put your donut hole on top
15:46
and then what we're going to do
15:48
is pop in the freezer for about 15
15:50
minutes just so the donut hole doesn't
15:53
roll around when we add more frosting
15:55
right i had some that i made before
15:58
that i set up okay okay so you can see
16:01
they're not both oh yeah so what we want
16:03
to do with these is we want to cover the
16:06
donut hole with another little skim coat
16:08
of frosting how fun
16:12
i mean well the children
16:15
have a ball doing this adults too
16:18
i was gonna say i'm having a right good
16:20
time
16:24
terrific okay now what i've got here
16:27
i've got a bowl of crushed corn flakes
16:30
so we're going to just sprinkle those on
16:32
the edge and i like to press the crumbs
16:34
in
16:34
or you could even roll it in the crumbs
16:37
uh-huh
16:38
so that it's completely covered
16:41
okay i love this
16:44
it's starting to look a lot like chicken
16:46
chicken that's it fried chicken
16:50
so we've got a fun aluminum pan over
16:52
here
16:53
to be like the tv dinner tray
16:55
okay so we can put that why don't you
16:57
put your chicken leg right in here
16:59
we've got to have some mashed potatoes
17:01
with this absolutely you can't have
17:03
fried chicken without mashed potatoes
17:05
okay we're gonna use the vanilla
17:07
frosting okay
17:08
now we want it to look like a nice swirl
17:10
of mashed potatoes okay
17:12
and then i want to make a little well in
17:14
the center for my butter for you gravy
17:17
butter cream yep and so for the butter
17:19
we're just gonna use a yellow fruit chew
17:22
i'm gonna put it
17:23
on the side like that
17:25
oh you're making a melty butter yeah i'm
17:27
okay i'm thinking i'm gonna do perfect
17:30
like butter that's melting and then our
17:32
gravy
17:33
do you know what that is yes i do
17:37
a little caramel sauce ah i thought it
17:38
was caramel sauce
17:41
there we go
17:42
don't be stingy with that okay
17:47
terrific and you know doesn't that look
17:48
like gravy
17:50
yes it does what's nice is that it's
17:52
gonna settle a little bit so that that
17:54
butter pad
17:55
pokes boy
17:57
i really heavy handed on the gravy there
18:00
but it will like you drizzle
18:03

i got alan on one side i've got karen on
18:52
the other and they're fixing to show me
18:54
how to make our meal complete
18:56
we've got our fried chicken we've got
18:58
our mashed potatoes and gravy and they
19:01
insist that we have to have a vegetable
19:04
gotta eat your vegetables
19:06
all right so
19:07
how are we gonna make our peas and
19:09
carrots well we're going to start with
19:11
using our vanilla frosting and we're
19:13
going to tint it green so and do y'all
19:15
always use a store-bought frosting we've
19:18
got some great recipes homemade recipes
19:21
but you know this works so
19:23
yep this this uh classic vanilla
19:26
frosting you tell me when so keep going
19:28
a little bit and and i'd love like a
19:30
drop or two of yellow because okay i
19:32
like it a little
19:34
a little bit brighter
19:36
you know that store-bought frosting
19:37
actually takes the color better than a
19:39
buttercream
19:40
the consistency is perfect perfect
19:43
so we've got a nice green there okay
19:45
that's that's a pretty color green
19:48
so everybody get a cupcake and for the
19:51
peas and carrots so these are those
19:54
candies that melt in your mouth not in
19:56
your hands sure are that we love so much
20:00
but if you're like me and like pure
20:01
sugar
20:03
these are the candies that start with an
20:05
s
20:07
before we start adding our peas we want
20:10
to cut our carrots that's right okay
20:12
okay and the great thing about this
20:15
orange fruit chew is that you just want
20:16
to cut it down the middle lengthwise
20:19
and then just cut it crosswise into
20:21
thirds
20:22
and it takes about three or four fruit
20:24
shoes per cupcake
20:26
so then it's just a matter of just
20:28
placing them around okay
20:30
and we're gonna tuck them pretty close
20:32
to each other and then we'll add a
20:34
couple of carrots too in there and you
20:36
want to cover the whole top
20:38
and i always find when you're putting
20:40
the carrots on it's nice to find one of
20:41
those nice sharp edges and it looks just
20:43
like it does when it comes out
20:46
how cute is this and this is as easy as
20:50
just
20:51
pressing on the candies
20:53
we call these when we do these we call
20:54
them press and play uh cupcakes
20:57
