- 0:30This is my second
- 0:31time in the kitchen
- 0:31with, Legendary Foods,
- 0:33but today with,
- 0:34with you guys is,
- 0:34is extra special.
- 0:35Well, you're,
- 0:36you're a cook anyway.
- 0:37You cook all the
- 0:37time.
- 0:38I do.
- 0:38I've been cooking for
- 0:39a while.
- 0:39I'm a mom,
- 0:40so a mom of
- 0:41high school and college
- 0:42students now.
- 0:43But, so meals change,
- 0:45but ultimately everything
- 0:46stays the same.
- 0:46Yeah, absolutely.
- 0:48So, today we're gonna
- 0:48make a high protein
- 0:50creamy buffalo ranch mac
- 0:52and cheese.
- 0:53we are going to
- 0:54start with our high
- 0:56protein pasta,
- 0:57mac and cheese from
- 0:58Legendary Foods.
- 0:59and we have some
- 1:00shredded chicken.
- 1:01We have rotisserie
- 1:02chicken, which is probably
- 1:03the easiest if you're
- 1:04a college student or
- 1:05you're a mom on
- 1:06the go,
- 1:06and you don't have
- 1:07a lot of time,
- 1:07and you wanna make
- 1:08it...
- 1:08Make something that's
- 1:09really tasty but sort
- 1:11of semi-homemade and easy
- 1:12to do.
- 1:12rotisserie chicken's
- 1:13probably the easiest way
- 1:14you can go.
- 1:15There's not a lot
- 1:15of prep.
- 1:15You can just stop
- 1:16by the store or
- 1:17Costco, grab it,
- 1:18shred it up,
- 1:18and it is good
- 1:19to go.
- 1:20We're just gonna act-
- 1:20add some extra ingredients
- 1:22just to flare it
- 1:23up and spice it
- 1:23up a bit,
- 1:24a bit,
- 1:24but it ul- ultimately
- 1:26it's like a 70
- 1:26to 80 gram of
- 1:30to 80 gram of
- 1:30high protein,
- 1:31pasta for dinner.
- 1:33Wow.
- 1:34Yeah.
- 1:34Speaking about protein,
- 1:3570, 70 grams,
- 1:36that sounds like a
- 1:37lot.
- 1:37Is...
- 1:37What...
- 1:37Like, what,
- 1:38what's your average intake
- 1:39on protein?
- 1:40You know,
- 1:40I try to have
- 1:42three or four meals
- 1:43a day.
- 1:43I used to compete,
- 1:44so it would be,
- 1:44like, six or seven.
- 1:45Mm-hmm.
- 1:45Now I'm just,
- 1:46just consistently just
- 1:47trying to stay on
- 1:48a pretty high protein
- 1:49diet.
- 1:49I actually try to
- 1:50do about 20 grams
- 1:51of protein per meal,
- 1:53but on days like
- 1:53this where I'm having,
- 1:54you know,
- 1:54like, a big dinner,
- 1:55if I miss meals
- 1:56during the day,
- 1:56and I was snacking
- 1:57during the day or
- 1:58something, and I need
- 1:58a big dinner,
- 1:59this is a perfect
- 1:59thing for me because
- 2:00I can get all
- 2:01my protein in,
- 2:02and it's just a
- 2:03delicious meal.
- 2:03Yep, good to go.
- 2:04All righty,
- 2:05so let's,
- 2:05let's just get it
- 2:06started.
- 2:06So to start,
- 2:07we've already heated up
- 2:08and prepared our mac
- 2:10and cheese.
- 2:10Our mac and cheese
- 2:11is super easy,
- 2:12three and a half
- 2:12minutes in the microwave.
- 2:14We have the,
- 2:15pasta ready to go.
- 2:17Like I said,
- 2:18it was already ready.
- 2:19So this is one
- 2:20serving in this cup.
- 2:22How long does it
- 2:22take for usual pasta
- 2:23to cook?
- 2:23You know,
- 2:24if you were gonna
- 2:25do traditional pasta in,
- 2:26like, a pan,
- 2:27the actual,
- 2:28like, homemade pasta,
- 2:29I mean,
- 2:29you're an- anywhere from
- 2:318 to 15 minutes
- 2:32all said and done.
- 2:32Mac and cheese,
- 2:33if you're doing Kraft
- 2:34Mac...
- 2:34If you're a college
- 2:35student, and you're doing,
- 2:35like, a regular Kraft
- 2:36mac and cheese or
- 2:37my daughter- Mm-hmm ...
- 2:38it's, you know,
- 2:38three and a half
- 2:39to five minutes all
- 2:40said and done.
- 2:40So this is very
- 2:42much like Kraft mac
- 2:43and cheese.
- 2:43The flavor is very
- 2:44much similar.
- 2:45The prep time is
- 2:46pretty much similar.
- 2:47You just get all
- 2:48the protein that you
- 2:49could possibly want,
- 2:49and this is,
- 2:5035 grams if you
- 2:51have a small version
- 2:52or 47 if you
- 2:53have the full version.
- 2:53Hm, wow.
- 2:54Yeah.
- 2:54So it's kind of
- 2:54like an Easy Mac
- 2:55but with way more
- 2:56protein and no orange.
- 2:56Totally, totally.
- 2:58It's like all of
- 2:58the benefits of Easy
- 3:00Mac but all the
- 3:01protein that you want
- 3:02for an athletic,
- 3:03competitive,
- 3:04non-competitive, just
- 3:05eating healthy,
- 3:06healthy lifestyle.
- 3:07Yeah, absolutely.
- 3:08Okay, so we have
- 3:09our mac.
- 3:09We are going to
- 3:10stir in our Greek
- 3:11yogurt, and we are
- 3:12just going to use
- 3:14two tablespoons of Greek
- 3:15yogurt.
- 3:16So here we have
- 3:16our tablespoon,
- 3:17so we are going
- 3:18to just mix in.
- 3:20Official measuring.
- 3:22Bruce normally just uses
- 3:23a big spoon.
- 3:23You know,
- 3:24and I totally do
- 3:25at home,
- 3:25but because I know
- 3:26people- Yeah ...
- 3:27are such sticklers for-
- 3:28Right, exact ...
- 3:28they wanna have the
- 3:29actual, so you're gonna
- 3:30go with that.
- 3:31So we're gonna mix
- 3:32that.
- 3:32We're just gonna leave
- 3:32that there.
- 3:33Mm-hmm.
- 3:33We are going to
- 3:34use one tablespoon of
- 3:35light cream cheese,
- 3:36so we're just gonna
- 3:37do the same thing.
- 3:38And again- ...
- 3:39you don't have to
- 3:39do it exactly to
- 3:41T, to the T.
- 3:41Everybody's gonna have it
- 3:42a little bit different.
- 3:43This is g- what
- 3:44we're gonna stick with
- 3:45today, and again,
- 3:46I, at home,
- 3:47I wouldn't even bother
- 3:48with the measuring.
- 3:49Mm-hmm.
- 3:49I would just get
- 3:49a big old spoon
- 3:50out-
- 3:51...
- 3:51there you have it.
- 3:52Mm-hmm.
- 3:52So like I said,
- 3:53super creamy,
- 3:54here.
- 3:54Do you take this
- 3:54Do you take this
- 3:54with you when you
- 3:54travel?
- 3:55So I do travel
- 3:56quite a bit,
- 3:57and whenever I do,
- 3:58that's the coolest thing
- 3:58about mac and cheese,
- 3:59this mac and cheese,
- 4:00it's microwaveable.
- 4:01So I can stick
- 4:01this in my carry-on.
- 4:03I can stick it
- 4:03in my backpack.
- 4:04Super easy,
- 4:05and every hotel that
- 4:06you go to has
- 4:07a microwave,
- 4:07and even if they
- 4:08don't, you just ask
- 4:08them to bring it
- 4:09to your room,
- 4:09and they bring it
- 4:09right to your room.
- 4:10Right, or you can
- 4:10do- It's the easiest
- 4:11...
- 4:11you can do a
- 4:11kettle with water,
- 4:12right?
- 4:12Totally.
- 4:13You could do...
- 4:13And they have...
- 4:14Everyone has a coffee...
- 4:15Every single hotel has
- 4:15a coffee maker.
- 4:16So we're gonna,
- 4:17add
- 4:17Three to four ounces
- 4:18of chicken.
- 4:19And again,
- 4:19I'm just measuring it
- 4:20with myself because- ...
- 4:21and it depends on
- 4:22how much you want.
- 4:22If you want less,
- 4:23you can do less.
- 4:24If you want more,
- 4:24you can do more.
- 4:25Do you have any
- 4:26rules on water when
- 4:27you travel?
- 4:27I always learned that
- 4:28it was eight ounces
- 4:29of water per hour
- 4:30of, flight time.
- 4:31That's a great hack.
- 4:32I didn't know that.
- 4:32Wow.
- 4:33I didn't either.
- 4:33Mm-mm.
- 4:33That is such a
- 4:33great hack.
- 4:34Yeah.
- 4:34And I just went
- 4:36to Nashville,
- 4:36and I was on
- 4:37the flight,
- 4:37you know,
- 4:37for four hours or
- 4:38whatever.
- 4:39And it's the type
- 4:39of thing where if
- 4:40you're not drinking water,
- 4:41you get off and
- 4:41you just feel miserable,
- 4:42so that's great.
- 4:43Mm-hmm.
- 4:43It's a secret one.
- 4:43It's a great hack.
- 4:44I did not know
- 4:45that.
- 4:45Eight ounces,
- 4:46I'm gonna remember that.
- 4:47So five-hour flight,
- 4:47you wanna do about
- 4:4840 ounces.
- 4:49See?
- 4:49Really?
- 4:49Wow.
- 4:50That's a lot of
- 4:50bathrooms.
- 4:50At least.
- 4:52I, I,
- 4:52I would,
- 4:52I try to find
- 4:53my seat closest to
- 4:53the bathroom.
- 4:53That, that's why I
- 4:54sit in the ai-
- 4:54that's why I sit
- 4:55in the aisle.
- 4:55Yeah.
- 4:55There you go.
- 4:56Yeah.
- 4:57Well, Okay,
- 4:57so we've mixed everything.
- 4:59Yep.
- 4:59We're good to go.
- 4:59We've added our chicken.
- 5:00We are going to
- 5:01add a little buffalo
- 5:02sauce.
- 5:03So this is one
- 5:04to two tablespoons.
- 5:05I'm not even gonna
- 5:05grab that.
- 5:06Yeah.
- 5:06So you can just
- 5:06decide, and again,
- 5:07this is how,
- 5:08depending how hot you
- 5:09want it,
- 5:09if you want it
- 5:10spicy, if you don't
- 5:10want it spicy,
- 5:11you just de- just...
- 5:12You get to decide
- 5:13all the,
- 5:14all the goods.
- 5:15I feel like you
- 5:15both grew up in
- 5:16a spicy household,
- 5:17right?
- 5:17There were a lot
- 5:18of spicy food.
- 5:19S- I used to
- 5:19get made fun of
- 5:20for not being able
- 5:20to handle s- spice.
- 5:21I, I told this
- 5:22story the other day.
- 5:22Yeah.
- 5:23And I went to
- 5:23this place on Eighth
- 5:24and Center in San
- 5:25Pedro and got the
- 5:26hottest salsa that they
- 5:27would have,
- 5:28and I put little
- 5:29dabs on my,
- 5:29on my tongue- To
- 5:30test it ...
- 5:30throughout the summer just
- 5:31'cause they'd make fun
- 5:32of me for not
- 5:32being able to handle
- 5:32hot sauce.
- 5:33Yeah, right.
- 5:34For sure.
- 5:34That's how I'm...
- 5:35We- I can handle
- 5:35it now.
- 5:36Yeah.
- 5:36We grow up,
- 5:36you grow up Mexican,
- 5:37and everything- Yeah,
- 5:38right ...
- 5:38you know,
- 5:38your parents- Little spice
- 5:39my mom,
- 5:39my aunt,
- 5:40I go to my
- 5:40aunt's house,
- 5:41and it's all just
- 5:42everything.
- 5:42Yeah.
- 5:42All of...
- 5:42You smell it as
- 5:43soon as you walk
- 5:44in.
- 5:44You start sweating.
- 5:45That's funny.
- 5:46Yeah, I had to
- 5:46practice.
- 5:47I, I got made
- 5:47fun of too much.
- 5:48I believe it.
- 5:50Okay, so we have
- 5:50our hot sauce.
- 5:51We added that.
- 5:52We are going to
- 5:52add ranch,
- 5:53Okay.
- 5:54So we...
- 5:54You have options.
- 5:55You can either use
- 5:56a ranch and drizzle
- 5:57directly on,
- 5:58or you can use
- 5:59just the tiny ranch
- 6:00seasoning packet.
- 6:02And you're just gonna
- 6:03use, again,
- 6:03like a tablespoon,
- 6:04teaspoon to tablespoon.
- 6:05Mm.
- 6:05Again, it's totally up
- 6:06to you how much
- 6:07ranch flavor you like.
- 6:08One of my daughters
- 6:08loves ranch flavoring,
- 6:09the other not so
- 6:10much, so this way
- 6:11I can keep everybody
- 6:12happy with a little
- 6:13hint of it and
- 6:14not too much.
- 6:15Looks good.
- 6:15And there we go.
- 6:16Simple.
- 6:22get it quick,
- 6:22it's warm,
- 6:23it's ready,
- 6:23it's so easy to
- 6:24make, but the girls
- 6:25absolutely love it.
- 6:26If you're a college
- 6:27student and you only
- 6:28have a microwave in
- 6:29your dorm,
- 6:30this is all you
- 6:30need.
- 6:30It's the easiest,
- 6:31easiest way to put
- 6:32in 70 to 80
- 6:33grams of protein and
- 6:34have a really delicious
- 6:35dinner.
- 6:36You know,
- 6:36I feel like I'm
- 6:36craving, I would have
- 6:37the l- our ranch-
- 6:38Chips ...
- 6:38chips with that.
- 6:39Chips, yeah.
- 6:39Like, to eat it
- 6:40like a scoop.
- 6:40It's so good.
- 6:41Yeah.
- 6:41You know,
- 6:41you could put it
- 6:42on a plate,
- 6:43and so I've,
- 6:44I've also then sometimes
- 6:45I would add spinach
- 6:46and just add some-
- 6:46Mm ...
- 6:46like spinach on top
- 6:47of it- Mm-hmm ...
- 6:48just to add a
- 6:48little bit of texture
- 6:49to it.
- 6:50But so you could
- 6:50do that.
- 6:50You could add a
- 6:51salad, ranch chips,
- 6:52so good.
- 6:53Now, is this for
- 6:53one person's,
- 6:54eating, or is this
- 6:55splitting it across two
- 6:56people?
- 6:56How many servings are
- 6:56in this recipe?
- 6:57So th- I eat
- 6:58a lot.
- 6:58So this would be...
- 6:59Yeah, I'm kind of
- 7:00an eater,
- 7:00so this would actually
- 7:01be one serving for
- 7:03one person.
- 7:04Mm-hmm.
- 7:04You could split it
- 7:04up if you wanted
- 7:05to, like if you
- 7:05wanted to separate it
- 7:06and add something else
- 7:07to it.
- 7:08Yeah.
- 7:08You could split it
- 7:08up and split this
- 7:09in two and then
- 7:10add a side of
- 7:11ranch chips or add
- 7:12a salad with it.
- 7:13This is definitely enough
- 7:14for me.
- 7:14Like, I could eat
- 7:15this entire thing,
- 7:15put it down for
- 7:16dinner, and be good
- 7:17to go,
- 7:17so.
- 7:17Put it down.
- 7:18Hear, it sounds like
- 7:18a WWE champion.
- 7:19Put it down.
- 7:20Yep.
- 7:20Crush it.
- 7:20I'm ready,
- 7:21yes.
- 7:21so good.
- 7:21I do want to
- 7:22ask you a question
- 7:22about- Yes ...
- 7:23about you specifically
- 7:24'cause you do talk
- 7:24about your age on
- 7:25social media,
- 7:25so it's no secret.
- 7:26I do.
- 7:27She just cracked 40,
- 7:27by the way,
- 7:28ladies and gentlemen.
- 7:29She's 52.
- 7:2952.
- 7:30And very proud of
- 7:30it.
- 7:30Looking great.
- 7:30And with that said
- 7:32is I think a
- 7:32lot of people always
- 7:33have excuses why,
- 7:34"Oh, it's easy for
- 7:35you, your genetic makeup."
- 7:37Yeah.
- 7:37But really,
- 7:37at the end of
- 7:38the day,
- 7:38everyone has the same
- 7:39struggles.
- 7:39Well, and a lot
- 7:40of times people will,
- 7:41that women that I've
- 7:42met will ask about
- 7:43my diet.
- 7:44Right.
- 7:44Like, what is it?
- 7:44And people,
- 7:45usually it's women that
- 7:46are the same age
- 7:46as me,
- 7:46moms, other moms,
- 7:47my daughters' friends.
- 7:48and they think that
- 7:49you eat boiled chicken
- 7:51and vegetables- Right ...
- 7:52and that's all you
- 7:52have.
- 7:53Well, life is so
- 7:54great now.
- 7:55There's so many options
- 7:56for protein sources that
- 7:57are delicious and still
- 7:59don't feel like you're
- 8:00cheating on your diet.
- 8:01You know?
- 8:01You're...
- 8:01They're healthy.
- 8:02They have all the
- 8:03protein that you need,
- 8:04but they are still
- 8:05delicious.
- 8:06Right.
- 8:06So for me,
- 8:07I try to just
- 8:08be very consistent with
- 8:10both my training and
- 8:11my nutrition.
- 8:12I try to train,
- 8:12you know,

- 8:39your, like,
- 8:40healthy way of living,
- 8:40it has to be
- 8:41a priority.
- 8:42You have to decide.
- 8:42A- and I schedule
- 8:43it in.
- 8:44Like, I literally,
- 8:44I wouldn't be able
- 8:45to complete everything I
- 8:47wanna do if I
- 8:47didn't schedule in,
- 8:48okay, I'm gonna get
- 8:49up at 4:45 every
- 8:50day.
- 8:50Yeah.
- 8:51I'm gonna get to
- 8:51the gym at 5:00.
- 8:52I'm gonna train for
- 8:52an hour and a
- 8:53half.
- 8:53I, if I don't
- 8:54do an hour and
- 8:55a half of training
- 8:56before my day gets
- 8:57started, I don't even
- 8:58feel right anymore.
- 8:59But it's just,
- 8:59basically it is,
- 9:00it's just about,
- 9:01like, scheduling.
- 9:02You know,
- 9:02and you guys have
- 9:02been there.
- 9:03Yeah.
- 9:03You know.
- 9:03That's- It's just about
- 9:04scheduling in what you
- 9:05want.
- 9:05Scheduling your nutrition,
- 9:07scheduling your
- 9:07supplementation,
- 9:08scheduling your training.
- 9:09Yeah.
- 9:09And we talked about
- 9:09this earlier,
- 9:10is that you do
- 9:11have cheat meals.
- 9:11I follow you on
- 9:12social media.
- 9:12And I see you
- 9:13at a Mexican restaurant-
- 9:14Yes ...
- 9:14with this whole spread.
- 9:15So you do that.
- 9:16Yeah.
- 9:16Right?
- 9:16So it's not like
- 9:17you're, you're,
- 9:17you're consistent,
- 9:18but you,
- 9:18you still have the,
- 9:19days where you do-
- 9:20Yeah ...
- 9:20what you want.
- 9:20And that's the most
- 9:21important thing.
- 9:21I mean,
- 9:22you ...
- 9:22I do all of
- 9:23this, like,
- 9:24the normal daily stuff,
- 9:25because I wanna enjoy
- 9:25those moments.
- 9:26Right.
- 9:26I don't ever wanna,
- 9:27like, deplete,
- 9:28like, deprive myself of
- 9:29any of those moments.
- 9:29Mm.
- 9:29So it's,
- 9:30it's ...
- 9:30And this makes it
- 9:31easy, you know?
- 9:32You just,
- 9:32it's just consistency,
- 9:33and then on those
- 9:34days I stop at
- 9:35the Mexican restaurant-
- 9:36Yeah, right ...
- 9:36and have,
- 9:36you know,
- 9:37a big,
- 9:37big- A margarita,
- 9:38yeah.
- 9:38Yeah, a margarita and
- 9:38a big carne asada
- 9:39steak and chips and
- 9:40guacamole, and it's,
- 9:41you know- Yeah ...
- 9:42I, I don't feel
- 9:42guilty about it at
- 9:43all because I know
- 9:44I'm just gonna hop
- 9:44right back into my
- 9:45normal, you know,
- 9:46normal rotation the next
- 9:47day.
- 9:47Right.
- 9:47Cool.
- 9:48You mentioned you have
- 9:48two jobs.
- 9:49What do you do,
- 9:49and how does this
- 9:50help?
- 9:50So I do social
- 9:52media.
- 9:52I actually have a
- 9:539:00 to 5:00 as
- 9:53an, as a executive
- 9:54assistant, but I also
- 9:55do social media marketing.
- 9:56Mm.
- 9:56So, and that's kind
- 9:58of on the go,
- 9:58but it's also 24
- 9:59hours a day.
- 9:59Yeah.
- 9:59So it doesn't really
- 10:00stop.
- 10:00And I mean,
- 10:01it's, you wake up
- 10:02and you look at
- 10:02your phone and you're
- 10:03already starting to work.

- 10:05having, like,
- 10:06really quick and efficient
- 10:08meals is the easiest
- 10:09way.
- 10:09I used to be

- 10:11sure you always have
- 10:12something there so you

- 10:15for the bad things,
- 10:15what do you usually
- 10:16eat when you have
