[lauren] you just put the whole one in your mouth?
[lauren] that's a lot of dough at once [john] it's really dry.
[lauren] don't say it's dry!
[john] well if you ate a spoonful of peanut butter that would also have made a really tough dough
[lauren] well you're not supposed to put it all in your mouth at once, i don't think.
[lauren] hey everyone, what's going on it's lauren.
[john] and john.
[lauren] from hot for food. and today we're doing an impromptu little video for you
[lauren] because, um, we have to go to a picnic
[lauren] more or less. and we have to bring some stuff.
[lauren] so we were gonna show you what we're making
[lauren] and it's pretty quick and easy, so we thought we just turn it into a video.
[john] uh, you can do your picnic however you wanna do,
[john] this is just kinda what we have lying around the house,
[john] on our summer picnic menu, we've got
[john] an easy sangria recipe,
[lauren] we're also gonna make some very quick wraps,
[lauren] we're also gonna make some lentil apple slaw
[lauren] and cookie dough balls for dessert
[lauren] soo let's start with dessert because we gotta put those in the fridge for a second
[john] good call.
[lauren] so we are gonna start with a cup of peanut butter,
[lauren] then add in some almond flour and vegan chocolate chips.
[lauren] i'm actually just gonna add a little bit of sea salt
[lauren] so cos i'm literally making this up on the spot,
[lauren] i don't know how much almond flour i'm adding in,
[lauren] but it's about double and a half what the peanut butter was.
[lauren] so it's like the consistency of cookie dough,
[lauren] then roll it into small bite sized balls,
[lauren] and then you can roll it in coconut
[lauren] or you can drizzle melted chocolate on them,
[lauren] whatever you like.
[lauren] and you can keep them in the fridge until you go on your picnic!
[john] so now we're gonna make the fillings for our easy wraps,
[john] the first one's an avocado mash, which is just avocado,
[john] lime juice, salt, pepper and cayenne.
[john] for the other filling we're gonna use a hummus
[john] you can do it storebought or make it yourself
[john] and then we're gonna add sundried tomatoes,
[john] and black olives.
[john] these things are super easy to assemble,
[john] you're just gonna apread out your avocado or hummus,
[john] on the avocado we're gonna add fresh basil.
[john] so now that you got your filling in place,
[john] you can either roll them up,
[john] or do quesadilla style.
[john] i think the key here is the mobility,
[john] you're like going on a picnic, or going to the beach
[john] you don't wanna have like your hummus container,
[john] and your guacamole container and all of these dips
[john] and these are mobile, portable, everything's wrapped up and good to go.
[john] so it doesn't matter if you.. [lauren] so you just grab a piece and eat it.
[john] yea.
[john] and it's sharing. so instead of having some dips and hummus,
[john] you've just got every, take a pre dipped and roll bite
[lauren] i like this idea.
[lauren] and of course you can do any fillings you want
[lauren] as long as it's easy to like, stick together like a hummus is
[lauren] but it could be like an eggplant dip or whatever you want.
[john] you could do a dessert one; a peanut butter and jelly one.
[lauren] totally.
[lauren] okay we're gonna bring a salad on the picnic
[lauren] and i'm gonna make lentil apple slaw which is a really easy recipe
[lauren] from hotforfoodblog.com
[lauren] here's how it's made
[lauren] so start with some finely chopped cabbage,
[lauren] then we're gonna add cooked lentils,
[lauren] diced carrot. diced cucumber,
[lauren] sliced apples,
[lauren] cilantro, green onion and pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds.
[lauren] or both.
[lauren] so we're gonna make a quick dressing in a jar,
[lauren] here's all the ingredients:
[lauren] olive oil,
[lauren] lemon juice,
[lauren] lemon zest,
[lauren] apple cider vinegar,
[lauren] vegan worcestershire,
[lauren] agave nectar,
[lauren] dijon mustard,
[lauren] and salt and pepper.
[lauren] so just shake it up in the jar,
[lauren] and then pour it on the salad.
[lauren] this salad actually benefits from being dressed a few hours before you're gonna eat it
[john] kay, our picnic is nearly complete,
[john] we're like, 20 minutes in, we're ready to go.
[lauren] i don't wanna go, i just wanna eat everything here.
[lauren] we gotta pack it up now
[lauren] that's a whole lotta thing which we won't show you.
[john] one more thing. [lauren] one more thing.
[lauren] sangria!!!
[lauren] you know how to make that, it's just red wine,
[lauren] some juice or whatever, and some brandy
[lauren] if you're extra spicy like us,
[john] some fruit. [lauren] and some fruit.
[john] sangria. [lauren] so we're just gonna, we're just gonna make it real fast,
[lauren] in these jars so we can take them on our picnic,
[lauren] they're sealed up with a lid, and then we'll add ice in there,
[lauren] and we're done!
[john] then we go
[lauren] and then we go.
[lauren] so we got two one-litre jars,
[lauren] we're gonna split a bottle of red wine between the two,
[lauren] it's about a cup and a half per jar,
[lauren] then we're gonna add one and a half ounces of brandy,
[lauren] we're gonna add apples, oranges, limes and frozen strawberries.
[lauren] and we're gonna top it up with fresh squeezed orange juice.
[lauren] and just add a little bit of ice.
[lauren] and there's our picnic! we've got sangria,
[lauren] a cool salad,
[john] our easy wraps,
[john] and for dessert, our cookie dough balls.
[john] go easy on the sangria, man.
[lauren] mm.
[lauren] so we put some ice in there to chill it, it's cold and ready to go.
[lauren] um, you probably wanna pack up your picnic in like a cooler
[lauren] picnic bag or cooler
[lauren] just to keep everything chilled, that will be best especially for the dessert
[lauren] which you won't be eating till later,
[john] can we try something before we pack it up. [lauren] aand
[lauren] well yea, i'm starving
[john] me too.
[john] i'm gonna try an avocado one.
[lauren] so it's really quick and easy, we got everything done in under an hour,
[lauren] um, i mean we're pros but
[lauren] we made some of these up right on the spot so there you go
