this time of year starts thinking
0:08
about the new year ahead,
0:09
and, you know, maybe I should just try to diet, and ...
0:14
Personally, I hate the word diet.
0:21
I think there's something that almost jinxes ya
0:26
So some people say "I'm gonna make a lifestyle change."
0:31
Well, that sounds better to me than a diet,
0:35
because you can slowly change your habits,
0:40
your eating habits, and before you know it,
0:45
they turn into a long lasting way to eat.
0:51
Okay, so I am making,
0:53
I'm sharing with y'all today's recipe
0:56
it's from Paula Deen Cuts the Fat,
1:00
and I thought, well, this time of year may be a good time
1:04
to make this broccoli salad for y'all,
1:09
and there's so many recipes out there for broccoli salads.
1:17
So this is just another form of them,
1:20
but this one is real colorful, real pretty,
1:26
it's got your red and yellow bell pepper,
1:34
and you wanna slice that just as thin as you possibly can.
1:39
So I'm gonna go ahead and toss that in,
1:42
and now we're gonna make our salad dressing.
1:50
So all we gonna do is take our yogurt,
1:55
we're using about a fourth of a cup,
1:57
I think it is of a plain yogurt
2:04
and I'm doing it in this same bowl
2:06
that the broccoli is in,
2:09
and I've got, how much lemon juice is that,
2:12
a tablespoon or yeah, tablespoon of fresh lemon juice,
2:20
and a clove of garlic that you've minced,
2:31
some salt, though that may have been house seasoning,
2:46
and a little bit of canola oil or the oil of your choice.
2:53
So, and we're gonna kind of pour this in last,
3:19
Finger test it, all right,
3:22
in with my shredded carrots,
3:29
Ooh, these are so good.
3:37
And they're gonna give it a nice crunch
3:49
so this is not gonna be dripping with a salad dressing.
3:55
So if it's not enough to suit ya,
4:00
just might wanna just double the recipe
4:11
All right, I'm gonna look for some tongues,
4:18
and we're just gonna kinda give that a little mix,
4:32
very simple, very low calorie,
4:40
salad if you're trying to entice a new lifestyle.
4:50
I might be able to last at least a week on a new lifestyle.
4:57
This smells so fresh y'all.
5:07
And it's so pretty and so colorful.
5:11
My favorite broccoli salad is a broccoli salad
5:16
that has raisins in it, oh my goodness,
5:20
I love that little bite of sweet.
5:28
This would be good alongside like a chicken breast,
5:33
it could go good with your protein,
5:39
and then a nice big baked potato.
5:42
No, I'm kidding about the baked potato, y'all.
5:46
All right, so this really needs to sit and marinate some,
5:52
but I wanna go ahead and give it a taste,
5:56
and that yogurt is gonna make it kind of tart
6:01
along with your lemon juice,
6:17
It's unexpectedly good y'all,
6:24
and the longer it sits in your flavors, Mary,
6:33
I think that you will enjoy, you know,
6:36
sometimes between lunch and dinner, you get so hungry.
6:41
So this would be good to pull out and snack on,
6:46
if you're trying to wait for dinner or even after dinner,
6:50
I cannot stand to go to bed hungry y'all,
7:03
So rather than coming in here
7:05
and fix me a big bowl of ice cream,
7:10
I can fix me a bowl of this beautiful colorful broccoli.
7:15
And hopefully that will satisfy
7:17
that craving for ice cream, I don't think so.
7:28
So y'all enjoy, you can add anything you want to to this,
7:37
you could add some nuts, raisins,
7:43
but we're not because the purpose of this salad
7:52
is to cut the calories everywhere we can.
