- Who out there is feelin' fat?
0:05
Well maybe not fat, bloated.
0:07
We'll call it bloated.
0:08
(Paula chuckles)
0:10
Because we have been eatin' so much over the holidays.
0:14
And I'm willing to bet that 75% of the people out there,
0:25
one of their New Year's resolutions is to lose weight.
0:29
Alright, January the 1st, I'm gonna eat my head off.
0:31
I'm gonna eat the hog jaw, that rice, those peas,
0:34
those mashed potatoes, those turnip greens, that pork roast.
0:37
I'm gonna eat it all.
0:39
And then tomorrow I'm gonna start my diet.
0:46
And when I was in the restaurant everyday, day in day out,
0:51
I knew that that first week of the New Year,
0:56
well we close down the first week of the New Year
1:00
to just scrub the restaurant from top to bottom.
1:06
And I chose that week to close because I knew
1:10
everybody out there was probably tired of eatin'
1:13
and they were just startin' their diet.
1:18
So while they were startin' their diet,
1:20
we'd clean that restaurant.
1:22
We'd sparkly clean that restaurant.
1:26
So, and that was the same way every year, year after year.
1:29
So, I'm feelin' bloated.
1:33
(Paula giggles)
1:34
And I'm gonna try to be more aware of what I'm eatin'.
1:44
How's that?
1:45
I don't like the word diet, don't like it.
1:48
So, let me share this recipe with y'all
1:50
because it's quick, simple, easy and very few calories.
1:56
It's got some fat in it y'all,
1:58
but it's very, very good fat for us.
2:05
Because it's the fat from this avocado right here.
2:11
And I could eat that whole bowl.
2:14
Now we have a, you know when you cut avocados up,
2:18
you wanna get the juices on it real quick.
2:22
From your lime or lemon, whatever you're using.
2:24
Because it will turn brown on you very, very quick.
2:28
Now I'm gonna add some purple onions
2:34
that have been minced up nicely.
2:37
And, let's see, there's two avocados in here y'all.
2:42
And a tablespoon of lime juice to coat it.
2:46
And the cayenne pepper calls for, oh my gosh,
2:52
an eighth of a teaspoon.
2:53
So you know they don't make an eighth of a teaspoon,
2:57
but I do have my little, this is a smidgen,
3:03
this is a pinch, and this is a dash.
3:07
(Paula giggles)
3:09
So I'm thinkin' that I'm gonna use a pinch.
3:15
(Paula giggles)
3:16
Which I feel like that might be an eighth of a teaspoon.
3:20
And I don't wanna make it so hot that
3:24
if my little grandchildren wanna eat some.
3:29
Oops.
3:30
(Paula laughs)
3:31
Look what I just did.
3:33
I was trying to shake it like that.
3:39
Okay, I don't wanna put that thing near my mouth.
3:47
Alright, so let me get this up before.
3:53
See a little bit went in the bowl,
3:55
but not enough to hurt it.
4:05
- [Eddie] So we're gonna play with the
4:05
air fryer today right?
4:07
To be healthy?
4:07
- Yes, yes.
4:08
So, this is gonna be five days of doing that Eddie.
4:15
And we're doin', we're gonna cook
4:17
everything in the air fryer.
4:19
Because remember me talkin' about
4:23
how if you're health conscious,
4:25
and you want to cut down on your fats,
4:28
this is the way to go.
4:30
- [Eddie] So this our Christmas cleanse week?
4:32
- Yes, our Christmas cleanse.
4:34
I like that.
4:35
(Paula and Eddie laugh)
4:36
Our New Year's cleanse.
4:37
No, it would be Christmas 'cause we're cleansing
4:40
all that stuff that we ate over Christmas, right?
4:45
Alright so, I'm just gonna stir the onion
4:49
and the cayenne into our avocado.
4:53
And you wanna do it, you know, fairly gently.
4:57
Because you wanna keep the chunk in your avocado.
5:02
So we're gonna put, oh about two tablespoons
5:12
right in there just like that.
5:16
Okay now I'm gonna dab my edges with water.
5:24
So it will, so it will stick.
5:32
I love these little egg roll wrappers.
5:36
They are, they are so convenient,
5:41
and so tasty and easy to use.
5:45
Alright, here we go.
5:46
So we gonna start by rolling that towards y'all,
5:54
and then we're gonna bring in those sides.
6:08
And seal that up.
6:11
And we wanna make sure that we roll this real tight.
6:16
As tight as we can.
6:22
Alright, now you've got to get back in there.
6:24
I probably, just like I always do,
6:27
I probably overfilled it, but I just don't like a chintzy.
6:35
Alright, some of it came out.
6:37
So, okay I won't put as much in the next one.
6:43
But see how that water almost tapes it?
6:49
Almost acts as tape.
6:55
Okay so there we go.
6:57
Alright, the next one I will not, I will not fill so full.
7:07
These, these little sheets of pastry are nice and thin.
7:27
Oh I can't resist just trying
7:28
to put a little bit more in it.
7:32
Okay, so that's certainly less than what we had.
7:37
Alright, dampen those edges.
7:44
Okay so, over we go, tuck in that end,
7:56
bringing it over, and then roll, roll, roll.
8:09
And not but one piece came out that time y'all.
8:13
(Paula giggles)
8:15
'Cause I didn't fill it so full.
8:21
Okie dokie.
8:25
I'm gonna keep doin' this.
8:26
I'm gonna make at least four.
8:29
And so if y'all wanna go getcha a cup of coffee,
8:37
or getcha a soda, do whatever you wanna do,
8:41
and when we come back,
8:44
I'll have enough ready for the air fryer.
8:47
Okay so, so y'all didn't have to watch the boring part.
8:54
I went ahead and did these.
8:56
And look at the difference
8:58
between when you don't overstuff 'em.
9:00
And you know, I just can't stand the thought
9:04
of somebody not havin' enough to eat.
9:06
So, but this really doesn't really work out that well
9:10
when you overstuff it.
9:12
- [Theresa] Oh but it's gonna taste good.
9:14
- [Paula] Yes, yes, yes.
9:16
You know what?
9:20
You know what, Theresa?
9:22
- [Theresa] Oh you doubled it.
9:23
- [Paula] I did.
9:24
(Paula laughs)
9:25
I was gonna say, why is that?
9:26
- [Theresa] But not only, not only did you overstuff it,
9:28
but you doubled up the-
9:29
- [Paula] Well good, it needed it, didn't it?
9:31
- [Theresa] Mm hmm.
9:32
- Yeah and these, you'll have to be careful of that
9:35
'cause I was almost, I almost did it,
9:40
back on here, on these.
9:42
(Paula giggles)
9:44
But those pastries, they are so thin.
9:48
You know, you almost have to flip it like,
9:53
you know how sometimes new money'll stick together?
9:57
- [Theresa] Now this is your 10 quart Paula-
9:59
- [Paula] Yes.
10:00
- [Theresa] So that cool thing about this is,
10:01
these are all gonna fit in.
10:02
- Oh my gosh, yes.
10:03
This is my newest, my newest air fryer,
10:08
and I do love it.
10:10
And you know, I've always said you know,
10:13
don't give me any digital stuff.
10:16
Don't do that to me.
10:17
(Paula giggles)
10:19
I just wanna an on and an off button.
10:21
(Paula giggles)
10:22
Well they finally,
10:23
they finally have moved me into the modern world.
10:28
(can sprays)
10:29
But this one is real easy.
10:31
Now I'm just gonna spray those.
10:34
This one is really, really easy to use.
10:39
I've got 'em sprayed and I think I'm a-
10:42
(Paula laughs) have to put on my glasses.
10:45
So I can see everything good without messin' up.
10:48
Alright so, all I have to do is hit air fryer.
10:56
And then I'm gonna go over here,
10:58
this is the temperature button.
11:00
So I'm gonna raise it up to 400.
11:04
And then I'm gonna come over here and set the time.
11:09
And I want to cook these for four minutes.
11:14
And then I'm gone turn 'em over,
11:16
I'm gonna spray 'em, and cook 'em for four more minutes.
11:23
So here we go.
11:25
Uno, dos, tres.
11:28
(Paula chuckles)
11:29
It's amazing what you can do if you got your eyes on.
11:33
(Paula giggles)
11:36
Yes.
11:38
You know, this is, this is my newest air fryer.
11:40
It just came out and I just love it.
11:44
It's, you know, I've always had red appliances,
11:48
but I do, and look at this vase,
11:51
look at this vase that Eddie found,
11:54
that was in our stuff in storage at Dogwood.
11:58
But it's the same kinda red isn't it Eddie?
12:00
- [Eddie] Yeah, yes.
12:01
- I just love it.
12:02
It's a metallic.
12:03
Would you say it's a metallic red?
12:05
- [Eddie] Mm hmm.
12:06
- Well I just love it.
12:07
And this is the biggest one now that I have.
12:10
This is a 10 quart and it's a bad boy.
12:14
And you hear how quiet it is,
12:17
and very, very little hot air coming out of the back.
12:21
Unlike these big ovens that just produce so much heat.
12:27
So there we go.
12:30
(bell chimes)
12:31
Hear that y'all?
12:32
(Paula giggles)
12:34
The four minutes is up.
12:40
And I'm gonna just turn these over.
12:44
Oh they're starting to get crisp baby.
12:51
You know, this machine is, is really precise isn't it?
12:57
- [Eddie] It's a really deep basket.
12:59
- Uh huh, a deep basket.
13:01
I mean, it holds so much and it,
13:13
the timer, I mean it doesn't,
13:18
it keeps you posted the whole time.
13:21
I love the way the timer works on it
13:23
you know, as it goes down.
13:26
Okay so we want these to cook for at least
13:28
four more minutes so, and we are gone be air fryin' 'em.
13:34
And I'm gonna raise that temperature to 400.
13:39
And over here, I'm gonna lower that to at least four,
13:45
I think I'm actually gone cook 'em
13:47
for five though y'all.
13:49
And so it's ready to go.
13:52
We hit air fryer, the temperature, the time,
13:55
now all we have to do is hit go.
13:58
(air fryer hums)
14:00
It's that simple.
14:01
(Paula giggles)
14:04
And up here, alright see I've got five minutes left.
14:08
It's tellin' me.
14:10
Hey dummy, you've got five minutes left.
14:13
(Paula laughs)
14:15
You know, on my oven machines,
14:17
I love my oven machines 'cause it's just two knobs,
14:20
but you know, when you set the timer you never knew
14:27
if it was precisely you know, that, that many minutes.
14:32
So, still got five minutes.
14:38
I can't wait 'cause I'm hungry and I want to,
14:47
this, this was my New Year's resolution,
14:49
in case y'all wanna hear it, I want to become,
14:55
and I can say this Eddie if I think about it a second,
14:58
it's a hard word for me to say, I want to become a minima-
15:03
(Paula laughs) wait, a minimalist.
15:09
Did, is that right?
15:11
- [Eddie] That's it.
15:11
- I wanna be a mini, minimalist.
15:17
(Paula laughs)
15:19
And I, when I made that resolution I thought,
15:23
now Paula are you gonna be, you can't even say the word,
15:26
you think you gone be able to do it?
15:28
(Paula laughs)
15:29
But I'm gonna try.
15:30
And I'm gonna try to be a minimalist in my eating.
15:34
(Paula laughs)
15:37
And in my calories, in my fat.
15:41
So, we've got four more minutes y'all.
15:48
And oh, and I didn't share this with y'all.
15:52
You know, I talk about my air fryer cookbook so much.
15:57
And this is, this is really a good book,
16:00
and it, it will work with any air fryer out there.
16:09
You'll just have to adjust your temperature,
16:11
and maybe your time because I know the power of mine
16:15
and what it can do so you know,
16:17
you just may have to play with things like that.
16:20
But it will work for any air fryer that you have.
16:24
And these are out of print.
16:27
They, they really, because these been in bookstores,
16:36
you know, they just, it really flies off the shelf.
16:40
So, if you see one at a yard sale, get it.
16:47
(Paula laughs)
16:48
- [Eddie] Oh they'll be back up.
16:49
- When are they gonna be out Eddie?
16:51
- [Eddie] I'm, I'm not sure, but I mean-
16:53
- Yeah I mean, they, they've gone back to print,
16:56
but hopefully we won't have to wait too long.
16:59
Okay so I wound up cookin' 'em for four minutes,
17:03
and then you turn 'em, spray 'em,
17:05
and cook 'em for four more.
17:07
But I actually added an extra minute
17:08
and cooked 'em a total of nine minutes.
17:12
And look at 'em Eddie.
17:13
- [Eddie] Mm.
17:14
- Don't those look yummy?
17:19
And you know what?
17:23
We are gone be eatin' these guilt-free.
17:28
Now I've got some salsa for our dippin', but you know what?
17:36
(Paula giggles)
17:37
Actually I would rather have ranch dressing.
17:42
(Paula giggles)
17:44
But because I'm cuttin' corners where I can,
17:48
I'm serving it with salsa.
17:50
Because there's only five calories a serving in this salsa.
17:57
Not bad.
18:01
Ooh ow.
18:02
(Paula laughs)
18:04
Hot.
18:04
- [Eddie] Maybe slice it to let some of that
18:06
cool off a little bit.
18:08
- [Paula] Yeah, I'm gonna have to because it is so, so hot.
18:21
- [Eddie] That looks great.
18:22
- Look, look at the heat.
18:23
Ouch, I'm sorry Eddie.
18:25
Oh, look at the heat coming off of those.
18:31
And I'm swallowing hard 'cause I'm hungry.
18:36
I haven't had anything to eat today.
18:38
So you know what?
18:39
If I can stick that down in that cold salsa,
18:43
maybe it'll cool faster.
18:47
Oh my gosh.
18:56
It's deliciously hot.
18:58
- [Eddie] Good stuff.
18:58
(Paula and Eddie laugh)
19:03
- It's very hot.
19:06
That salsa must be hot salsa.
19:10
- [Theresa] It is, because I knew y'all would want hot.
19:12
Like, I know Michael likes hot.
19:14
(Paula laughs)
19:15
- Paula can't eat hot, but Michael can.
19:18
Michael'll love it.
19:20
Looks like I may have to use ranch dressing after all.
19:23
(Paula giggles)
19:24
And I hate that.
19:25
(Paula laughs)
19:27
Bye y'all, love and best dishes.
