Working Up An Appetite

Hey, y'all. Today, we're working up an appetite

Okay, I'm going to squat long. Oh, good one. With my friends and personal trainers Shazi and Drew

We're not going to just cook, but then we're going to turn around and we're going to work off what we cooked

And you're doing a good job of running that mouth, so that's good, too. Now, in their honor, I'm going to be lightening it up with a grilled vegetable salad and salmon with a maple and mustard glaze

Look how good this is going to be for us, aren't you, Frile? And Shazi shares her recipe for Cut the Cowrie Coconut Pie

There's coconut in it and coconut on top of it. Lots of coconut

And the cowries are going to get out just as quickly as they went in

when my friend Donna and I get put through the wringer. There you go

Boom! You don't want to miss it. To the kitchen! A little bit

They're going to be so proud of me. I'm so excited today, y'all, because I'm going to be introducing y'all to two of the cutest little friends of mine, Drew and Shazi

You ready to work out? Oh, your belly, your belly. They're personal trainers

Got in the way. Your belly. What about my belly? They're expecting their first baby

Y'all get in here in the kitchen. Get in here in the kitchen

Oh. Oh, my goodness. You know, in y'all's honor today, I'm really lightening it up

I'm just going to grill us some veggies. You know, nothing too heavy before we work out. Good

Sounds healthy. You know? I like this. Surprise, surprise. Yes. All right, Shaz

Yes? If you could just chop up eight ounces of these baby Bella mushrooms and one red onion

If you want them thin, do them thin. Or if you want to cut them in half, they'll take a little longer

Okay. And let's just peddle the onion. Peddle. Okay. All right, Drew, do you want to know how I want you to cut this zucchini

Please tell me. Okay. I want them cut on the bias. Okay

On the bayou. What is that song? So how have y'all been

I haven't seen y'all, I know. Well, that's wrong. It's my fault, it's my fault

We're getting back on track. Well, me too, me too. I'm really working in that direction

You've been baking desserts, we've been baking babies. We've been baking babies. Little Miss London, that's her name

London Elizabeth. London Elizabeth, that's beautiful. Thank you. What do I do now, Chow

Oh, you're done, aren't you? Well, I'm way ahead of you. All right, smush me up some garlic

Take about that many and smash them, Drew. Smash it with the edge

Yes. All right, now see? That gets you peeling off. That's so easy

I know. I mean, this is easy stuff. Okay, I can do that

Just rough. I can do that. How many do we need? Why'd I tell you, boy

I said that much, didn't I? It's a good thing when I come down to your exercise place

that I listen better than you. I got some garlic here. All right, I'm going to put a quarter of a teaspoon of ground oregano

Okay. I'm going to put a little bit of olive oil, two or three tablespoons

I'm going to put a couple of tablespoons of red wine. Red wine

Red, red wine. And this is really just red wine vinegar, y'all

All right, so I'm going to put some salt in here, some pepper

Yummy. And you can toss your shrooms. So y'all can see how simple this is

In there. All right, now your zucchini, please. All right. Look at that

It's going to be delicious with our salmon. I want to know when we're going to work out

Just hush up, boy. You bring the pain, I'll bring the pain

She's working us out in the kitchen. It smells. That's what your muscles are going to be doing later

That smells and sounds so good. Look how good this is going to be for us. Aren't you proud

I am. Now, is this how you cook every day, Paula? People have a misconception of the South, I think. Uh-huh

They think because they see me in my kitchen, you know, cooking wonderful fattening dishes that I eat that way

every day, and I don't. You know, we couldn't get through the door if we did. Absolutely

You would be the butter queen then. We'd have to butter you up to get you through the door

or something like that every day. Slide you through the door. Yes. Get all that garlic

Yummy. Get every drop of that garlic. That smells good already. I tell everybody, we eat a tremendous amount of vegetables down in the south

All right, I'm going to wash my hands. And then we're going to move on down and get our salmon ready

And guess what time it is Drew It time to work out baby Yeah Alright so Drew you just turn those for me And Shaz you and I are gonna come down here and make a maple glaze

Sounds yummy. So you wanna do that? Sure. Okay. I'm gonna melt a half a stick of butter, not much

We're gonna need two tablespoons of Dijon mustard. Okay. Two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar

Okay. A teaspoon of Worcestershire. A fourth of a cup of maple syrup

Okay. All right, now before you do that, just to make sure that syrup comes out easy for you

I'm going to give it a little spray. All right, all we need now is black pepper

This is going to be yummy. So it's going to be peppery. And last but not least. Butter

Yes. And that's a half a stick of butter. So what we're going to do, Shaz, is we're just going to pour this over it

Ooh, that warm butter. Do y'all like to leave the skin on

Either way. See, I do. I like it. I like it on, too

I think it keeps the flavor in. It does. It keeps the juices, keeps the flavors in

And, you know, if that skin gets crispy, I actually kind of like to eat it. It's good when it's crispy

So, Drew, why don't we push our veggies to one side, and let's put our salmon down

Ooh, yeah. This is making me hungry to train you. It's making you hungry to train me

Yeah, it's just whetting my appetite. Okay, here we go. One, two, three, four

Finger looking good. Yeah. So what I'm going to do now is..

Squat and lunge? I'm going to exercise a second just to make your husband shut up

Please do. Okay, I'm going to squat and lunge. Oh, good one. Not a bad line

Okay, good. Oh, look at that. Would you just look at that

So good. Oh, that looks good. Look, Shaz. See, I like it crispy

So, Drew, why don't you dish up some veggies? Okay. I think it's ready

Tell me what y'all think. This is delicious. I love that sauce

And your workout is going to be just as big. Coming up next, Shazi is whipping up a low-cal coconut pie

Smells delicious. Then my best friend Donna comes by, and Shazi and Drew put us through a workout

We're gonna be passing this ball if we can still get our arms around

All right, Shaz. All right. I am so excited about this. Cut the calorie

Cut the calorie coconut cake. Put me to work. I'm ready to eat some. Okay

We're going to make the crust. Okay. You want me to do that? Yes. So what I want you to do is take all those graham crackers, put them in there, and then

you're going to take the butter and place it in. Okay. How much butter? This whole butter

It's five tablespoons of butter. Five tablespoons. I got you. I can do this

So this is a full box of graham crackers. So you go ahead and start beating your two eggs

Okay. Now I'm going to put five tablespoons of butter. Now, that yields about a cup and a quarter for the crust

Okay. Mix it up really good to where all the chunks are out

Looks just like a cracker crust, doesn't it? And what are you doing, Drew

Drew is beating two eggs because we're about to start to make the filling. Once we get that pressed down, we're going to place it in the refrigerator to chill

Oh, okay. So we're not going to bake this. No. Okay, let's go ahead and put that in the refrigerator

Okie doke. And now let's get started on our filling. So we're going to take two cups of milk, fat-free, organic

I was going to say, that looks like a skim milk. Fat-free, organic milk. Okay

Okay. Put that in. And once we pour, I'm going to need somebody to start stirring

Okay, I will do that. Because you don't want to let it. Unless you want to do it

No, work those hard. Oh, no, it's part of my workout. Come on. Eggs

There you go. Good. And you don't want that milk to get hot or you'll have scrambled eggs, right

That's right. Any teaspoon? A teaspoon of salt. What a team effort

Yeah. Okay. And two tablespoons of this flour. Okay. And you want to be generous with your two tablespoons

Okay so kind of two teaspoons Now I going to put two tablespoons of sugar substitute So this is where your pie is really good for you because you not actually using real sugar

You're using the sugar substitute. Okay, two tablespoons. Two tablespoons. Stir that until it comes to a bowl

Okay. And that flour is going to thicken it, right? It's going to thicken it, yes

And this is, like I was saying before, this is only 225 calories per slice

Feel that muscle. Feel those muscles. I like that. Look. Yeah. Not bad for 64, is it

It's impressive. It's impressive. And I can run from here to the table with no problem

And you're doing a good job of running that mouth, so that's good, too. We ain't said nothing about running no mouth, honey

If running my mouth counted, I'd weigh about 15 or 20 pounds

So you want to make sure that it becomes thick before you take it off the heat

Good. And then we'll add the vanilla. Then we'll add the vanilla and the coconut

Oh, yay. Yeah. So there's coconut in it and coconut on top of it. Yes

Yes. Lots of coconut. Okay, it's getting thick. Okay, Drew, we need a teaspoon

By the time Drew gets through playing around with that top, I can have it done

Quick draw, Dean. Then we need two cups of coconut. That's true

Doesn't that smell good? This is organic shredded coconut. Okay, unsweetened. Shazie, this is so good

It's going to be delicious Now see, I could eat it just like that

In a little parfait cup I know what you mean So now we're ready to

Fill our pie crust Tastes good? Very good Without the butter Surprise, surprise, surprise

It's very good though Okay, so I'm going to go get the pie crust

If a little butter would make it better. All good things in moderation

You're absolutely correct. All right. Smells so good. Smells delicious. All of it

All of it. I don't want to miss a trick. And we want it to chill for about 10 to 20 minutes

Okay. Let's put that in the refrigerator. When y'all know I invited a friend over

Did she? Yes, to exercise with us. Payne loves company. Mm-hmm. Coming up next, we're making the meringue for our pie

And then Drew's taking us outside for a workout. Now, just how many calories do you think they can get me to burn

A little bit harder. There you go. Boom! Donna! Donna

Hey! Hey! Hello. How are you? Oh, my gosh. We got company

Yes, yes. Hello. You recognize Drew? Come give me a big hug

And look at Shaz. Look at Shazi. Look at you. Oh, my gosh

So cute. Y'all know Donna. She's one of my best friends in the world

She's visited me in my kitchen many times. So I ask you over for a reason

And I want you to work out with me. Oh, I'm great. That is great. I cannot wait

But you need a buddy. Okay, if you're in, I'm in. I'm in. Okay. But listen, let's finish up this pie because I tell you what, I can't hardly wait to get to the exercise

Good. And the angels sing. And then we eat pie. And then we eat pie

Yes. Cut the calorie coconut cream. That's a good thing. That's a good thing

All right, so tell me what to do. This is the easy part. We're just making the topping. Okay. So get out the bowl

And you've got your bowl chilled. Yep. It's easier to whip. Which is great. Yeah

A cup. A cup of whipping cream. So I'll get this measured for you real quick like

Thank you. Once we get this whipped, we're going to fold in the sugar substitute and then the coconut

It's almost ready. And we're going to fold in two cups of coconut, you said

A half a cup. Just fold it in. Now we want to put that all on top

Okay. You've got to really make sure this is cool, so it won't melt. Is it cool enough? Mm-hmm

Okay. It looks delicious. Doesn't it look delicious? It looks like a really good custard

Then after she spreads it around, Paula, I want you to sprinkle just some coconut on top. Okay. You recently made a coconut pie at home, remember

I did, but... I know, it was delicious. It wasn't cut to calorie. No, but it was delicious

I will tell you that. I bet it was delicious. Right? Double the calorie

And if you wanted to Shazi you could toast this and it would be so pretty wouldn it It would be pretty yeah It would holidays Okay now we going to place it in the refrigerator Is that enough coconut to suit you

And we're going to leave it in there at least two hours. Like I said you can leave it overnight

you can leave as long as you want but at least two hours. I'll open the fridge if you want me to. And then once we put the pie in the fridge

are you guys ready to work out? We are ready. I'm ready. I'm ready now that you're here

I'm excited. Just knowing that you're with me. Hey! Oh, my God, Drew, don't you kill us now, okay

I make no promises, but we're going to have fun no matter what, right? Donna and I are going to be passing this ball today

If we can still get our arms around. Y'all are going to go around the world

I hope your arms are long. Around the world, you're handing it off, trying not to elbow each other

even if you don't like each other sometimes. I don't play well with others, Drew. I'd rather play alone

Donna, you keep dropping your balls, honey. Well, I don't know why

Donna, every time you drop the ball, you owe me 10 push-ups, okay? Okay, no problem. Paula, you owe me 20

Oh, the other one. You drop the ball. I ain't dropping my ball, honey. There you go

Try to go faster now. Oh, you dropped your ball. Give me 10

20. I'll give you 20. 20 bucks. Okay. Oh, my God. Thank you, Drew

All right. You ready? Okay. Let's do alternating jabs. Drew, I've missed you

I've missed you, too. You're frightening me. Keep hitting the mids. A little bit harder

There you go. Boom. Ha, ha, ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Hoo-ah. All right

We're going to be doing this stuff. We're going to run down the ladder

Here you go. What you got? Do the cha-cha. Come on. Come on. Come across. Cha-cha-cha

Cha-cha. Cha-cha-cha. Oh, dang. Come on. I think I'm cheating. There you go

Cha-cha-cha. Nice footwork. I know we look fabulous. Well, I have an idea. Okay

I think exercise should end with a stair climber. That sounds good

Yeah. It does. You have a stair climber? Where's your machine? Yes. All right, y'all follow me, okay

Okay. Okay. All right, follow me. All right. She's a little too perky

Yeah, she's excited about this one. Oh, these stair climbers. To the kitchen

Yay! For pie! Hi! Coming up next. So how many calories do y'all think that we just worked on

Y'all, we have worked hard for this pie. Now it's time for the payoff

Mmm. Mmm. So to the kitchen, y'all

To the kitchen. Hold on a second. What? The workout's over? Baby, the workout's just beginning

Oh, boy. It's just beginning. Wow. Personal trainer's dream. Yes. I see pie in our future

Can I look at all the other items in here? There's nothing in there

You just get your nosy nose out of my refrigerator, boy. Don't you be touching my mayonnaise and my butt

I'll taste that pie. May I cut your pie? You may cut our pie

It's beautiful. It's called Cut the Calorie Coconut Cream Pie. You know who would love this before we even taste it

Who? Bobby Dean. Bobby would love it. Bobby Dean would love this pie

But you know what? My favorite pie in the whole world is, Donna, coconut cream

Yeah, I know. You know me, too. Here we go. Now, how many calories

This one is 225 calories a slice. If you made a regular coconut cream pie, it's 425 calories per slice

I love it. Now, with the fat, too, this fat is 14 grams, and originally it's like 26 grams for a slice

So just 14 grams? Just 14 grams. So this is Drew's piece

Yes, Drew gets the big piece. You get the really big piece. So how many calories do y'all think that we just worked on

I'd say we burned about... Thank you. You're welcome. About 300. Yeah, 300

So we're about to eat 225. Perfect! You're going to burn off one piece

I can have a piece of chocolate candy. This is free. Mmm

Mmm. Good, huh? It's delicious. See, healthy can be good. Absolutely. It can taste good

It's so good, and you know what? The crust tastes a little salty

Mm-hmm. Doesn't it? And I love that. I like it. Mm-hmm. So, when are we going to work out again

Whatever you want. In 10 minutes. Huh? Oh, sorry. No, I was thinking this same time next year

Put your fork down. Thank you
