hey y'all welcome to what's cooking with
0:02
Paula Deen today I am back here with
0:05
Naomi Whittle and she is helping me to
0:10
understand the look for those good fats
0:15
get rid of those bad fats so I was on
0:20
the right track white and I know me when
0:22
I got rid of everything white for me to
0:25
lose that initial but now I need to
0:28
learn how to really take advantage of
0:31
all the good fats and does that kind of
0:35
fit in absolutely
0:38
Paula I was so excited when we started
0:40
looking through your cookbook and
0:44
connecting it with my book Glo 15 and
0:48
how we put the two together because
0:50
everything that you have in here like
0:52
just these most delicious delicious
0:55
recipes right so let's even take any one
0:58
of these the choices let's take the
1:00
butter bacon burger alright so delicious
1:03
and what you add to it as far as the
1:06
bacon and the different the mayonnaise
1:09
which comes with the good fats in it
1:12
everything is homemade mayonnaise are
1:15
still about mayonnaise well I'm a big
1:17
fan of homemade mayonnaise me too my
1:20
grandfather in France actually taught me
1:24
how to make homemade mayonnaise and like
1:26
you were saying you know you're using
1:28
the good fats in that so you can be
1:30
using the olive oil which you have
1:32
throughout this entire book so I just
1:36
love the fact that you've got the good
1:38
fats in here and then you're using your
1:41
airfryer it's phenomenal so we've just
1:45
got to leave off those bad fats that's
1:48
all we have to do and replace them it's
1:51
not about depriving our side or taking
1:54
away from the delicious and wonderful
1:57
cooking I know it I know it nobody wants
2:00
to think and I think that's why people
2:03
lose weight and then they gain it right
2:05
back because nobody likes to think I'm
2:09
never gonna be able to ever eat again
2:12
nobody nobody wants to live that way and
2:17
when you think about the way that you
2:21
first learned how to cook from your
2:23
grandmother right yes what did she teach
2:26
you about butter like how did you know
2:28
all of this I don't know I don't know I
2:33
just knew that margarine was one of
2:37
those things that was but early in my
2:40
marriage I had to buy more and I
2:42
couldn't afford butter and I knew I
2:46
shouldn't
2:47
finally the pocketbook you know just
2:51
wouldn't allow me to do it but isn't
2:53
that amazing that you knew that and
2:55
everything that you've been doing just
2:58
aligns so much with what our bodies want
3:01
right so our bodies want the good fats
3:04
every day because the good fats activate
3:08
the natural process of youth inside of
3:11
ourselves
3:13
so it's a whole biological thing and by
3:16
eating good fats that little Pacman is
3:20
in there cleaning things up cleaning up
3:23
the junk and the thing about bad fats
3:25
that we just don't realize is when we go
3:28
to restaurants not every restaurant is
3:31
like your restaurants right you provide
3:34
such a blessing to all of your customers
3:37
because you're cooking with peanut oil
3:40
yes and it's more expensive but right I
3:43
would be willing to say there's not many
3:45
restaurants out there there are not that
3:47
do bad we could go out and do a test and
3:50
I do this every day because and I try so
3:52
hard to avoid the bad fats and what most
3:55
restaurants do is they'll use the bad
3:58
fats because you can't taste them and
4:00
they're trying to cut down on on on the
4:03
costs and it's an easy way to do it and
4:06
nobody has knows the better for it
4:09
right right nobody gets hurt nobody gets
4:13
hurt or so we think things right that's
4:16
right that's right tell us how to get
4:20
started how do you excellent how do you
4:23
get started well I think a great
4:25
am start Monday starting this Monday I
4:29
think the first thing you do to get
4:31
started is to make sure you have the
4:33
right good fats in your kitchen so
4:36
number one is to do exactly what you've
4:39
done all right name me some good fat
4:41
okay
4:42
so olive oil peanut oil is a good fat
4:46
you can use coconut oil as a good fat
4:49
there daughter-in-law uses coconut oil
4:52
it's a great it's a great one you can
4:55
use something called tea seed oil which
4:58
comes from the green tea plant it's a
5:00
little bit more unusual avocado oil we
5:03
we've mentioned these are some of them
5:05
really good we can chew something that
5:08
you can chew that's a good fat well not
5:11
so well lots of lots of the good
5:14
high-quality fatty meats right so you
5:17
can chew right off the bone all sorts of
5:20
delicious meats you can eat that marrow
5:23
that you share that's a great way to get
5:27
a lot of the good fats so I think if we
5:30
eat the way our grandmother's our our
5:33
grandmother's ate on our mother's side
5:36
it's the very best thing we can do for
5:39
anti-aging for health and well-being all
5:42
right how about lettuces sure
5:45
so with lettuces of course I want lots
5:48
of green leafy vegetables but I love the
5:51
collard greens that you make all the
5:54
dark green leafy vegetables and we cook
5:57
them in ham hocks yeah just what gives
6:01
them that wonderful flavor yo but that's
6:06
good cuz it's about fact it's the best
6:09
right so the ham hock is providing so
6:12
much additional nutrition right into
6:15
those wonderful collard greens and that
6:18
together is one of the best things you
6:20
can do for your health
6:21
oh that's great we're gonna take a quick
6:24

7:25
3300 hey y'all welcome back to what's
7:32
cooking with Paula Deen I'm here with
7:33
Naomi Whittle and we're gonna we're
7:36
talking about
7:38
I asked Naomi to list me some good fats
7:41
that I can cute I think I know what they
7:45
are but I just want to hear it from her
7:50
so yesterday we were talking about
7:53
frozen vegetables yes they are so good
7:56
now because they're flash frozen and
7:59
it's just like they're out of the fields
8:01
there's so much more fresh compared to
8:05
even fresh vegetables the nutrient level
8:07
is at the highest so you're getting like
8:09
two for one when you use the frozen like
8:12
I love frozen black-eyed peas butter
8:15
beans Crowder peas lady peas ladyfinger
8:20
piece all of those are such good
8:22
products and the corn gets a bad rap
8:25
doesn't it it does and I used to be one
8:27
of those foods you should never eat
8:29
right I personally prefer to eat other
8:32
foods but by all means so many people
8:36
love corn oh but I think that you know
8:38
in moderation like what you were saying
8:40
to me yesterday
8:42
our Silver Queen corn in June and July
8:45
is so delicious so good and I hear
8:52
there's some great corn in New Jersey in
8:54
the state of Jersey have you heard that
8:57
have heard that as well yes yes
9:00
so naturally potatoes are off the air on
9:04
the table my favorite food in the whole
9:06
world oh but I can have one once in a
9:11
while that'll be all right
9:13
and it's that butter that you put on it
9:16
you were you were mentioning to me with
9:20
your with your grandkids and and how you
9:22
know eating a scoop of butter is
9:24
something that you allow them to do any
9:27
cuz I so good I would have a bowl of
9:31
butter bones and little Jack would come
9:36
in and he'd crawl up to the table he'd
9:38
reach and then getting my whole bowl and
9:40
just eat it uh and my mother is almost
9:47
it is it's God's gift like you were
9:50
saying God's gift yes and there are you
9:54
know you think about those little butter
9:56
balls they're literally energy balls
9:58
from our help and their fuel for our
10:01
body they're filled with so much of the
10:04
good good clean fat and yesterday we ate
10:09
some of the fat bombs she has fat moms
10:12
yo and you would not believe how
10:16
delicious especially for you dark
10:19
chocolate lovers because the ones that
10:22
you made and brought they are so dark
10:25
right along with your glass of red wine
10:27
I know one of our girls loves red wine
10:32
yeah together
10:34
she got a nibble on her chocolate yes
10:36
and these were so good y'all and they
10:42
only said you can have three a day which
10:46
that that's great have one in the
10:49
morning and an afternoon snack and for
10:52
some reason I want something sweet right
10:54
before I go to sleep
10:56
which is which is if you have lima after
10:59
dinner the little fat bomb so we know
11:01
that the fat bomb is opposite of like
11:04
what a normal sweet treat is there's no
11:06
sugar so you use an alternative like
11:09
stevia and there are no carbohydrates so
11:13
you might be using almond butter or
11:15
macadamia nut butter or coconut like the
11:19
lemon ones that we had yesterday and
11:21
they're so satiating they give us so
11:23
much energy oh my god and help us to
11:26
lose fat and after I ate that that
11:29
little fat bomb I mean I was good yeah
11:31
you know right it was just good you feel
11:34
good I you know that was feel satiated
11:36
yeah that was plenty for me and now can
11:42
we order those or they don't have to
11:45
make them we have to make them right now
11:46
but I'm hoping that you make them for
11:48
all of us because only you Pollock could
11:52
make them so delicious and thank you I
11:55
would certainly try hmm we had so much
11:59
fun when I first started with the bag
12:02
lady making gooey butter cakes
12:05
I bet between the team and myself we
12:08
came up with 75 ways Wow
12:11
to make a gooey butter cake and so I'd
12:15
love to do that but the fact I think
12:17
that would be amazing
12:19
incredible because we're giving
12:21
ourselves yes a treat that's so
12:24
delicious and yet it can really help to
12:27
improve our help
12:28
it doesn't make sense right it doesn't
12:31
make sense
12:32
but when you explain it to me in the
12:36
scientific way I can understand that
12:40
yeah and understanding how that would
12:41
happen Thank You Naomi thank you so much
