- Erica Nedley has been a vegan cook since 1986. After graduating with a degree in physical therapy from Loma Linda University, she traveled nationally and internationally with her husband, Neil Nedley M.D., to his numerous speaking engagements. Dr. Nedley, an internal medicine specialist, shared in-depth information on health, nutrition, and mental performance with a variety of audiences, and Erica offered cooking classes based on the scientific data revealed in Dr. Nedley’s research.
Erica continued to hone her cooking skills while raising four boys in Ardmore, Oklahoma. As they would say goodnight, they would ask about the next day's breakfast menu and request favorites. As a result, the "Brighten Up Breakfast" cook book evolved and it became a reality a few years later. A mix of classic and contemporary, beautifully photographed, it contains more than 100 mouth-watering easy, kid-friendly and vegan recipes, over half of them gluten free.
Erica has a passion for cooking with fresh, wholesome ingredients, and sharing it with others. Her vision for this cookbook is that it will help many individuals and families move toward higher physical and mental performance through advanced nutrition.

OMEGA-3 BLAST SMOOTHIE
Getting in your brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids was never so delicious. Hidden inside this delectable blended breakfast are six superfoods rich in this important nutrient. The dark color of the carob disguises the spinach for those having trouble eating their greens! SERVES 2
2⁄3 cup 100% orange juice
2½ cups fresh spinach, loosely packed
1 small frozen banana, sliced
1 cup frozen blueberries
2 Tbs hempseeds
1 Tbs walnuts (2 walnut halves)
1 Tbs carob powder
½ Tbs ground flaxseed
ADD ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend.

CITRUSY OAT GROATS Groats are whole, minimally-processed oats that have not been steamed or rolled, so they retain more of their nutritional value. Groats require a longer cooking time than rolled oats, so they are the perfect choice for slow-cooking. SERVES 4
1 cup oat groats, uncooked*
3 cups water
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp fresh orange zest
1 Tbs sweetener of choice
¼ tsp ground coriander
Like oatmeal (rolled oat groats), whole oat groats are a low carb and high protein whole-grain food source. However, because the bran layer is left intact, it takes longer for digestive enzymes to break it down. Slower digestion means stable blood sugar levels, and a longer-lasting, steady flow of energy that is necessary to maintain mental focus.22
1 PLACE oat groats, water, and salt in slow cooker overnight at a low setting.
2 MIX in orange zest, honey, and coriander in the morning. 3 SERVE with orange slices and fresh mint.

GRILLED POLENTA WITH VEGGIES & SAUSAGE
On many mornings I have used leftover polenta from dinner the night before and simply dressed it with margarine to enjoy as a side with breakfast. When you add sausage and peppers to polenta it becomes a full meal in itself! SERVES 6
POLENTA:
4 cups warm water
1 tsp salt
11⁄3 cup polenta cornmeal
SAUSAGE & PEPPER MIX:
2 Tbs water
½ Tbs chicken-style seasoning
1 cup sweet onion, coarsely chopped 1 cup green pepper, coarsely chopped 1 cup sweet red pepper, coarsely chopped 1 cup fresh asparagus spears, coarsely chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sliced Italian Sausage Links - *You may also use store-bought vegan sausage.
* ½ cup tomato sauce
1 COMBINE water, cornmeal, and salt in a heavy saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until thickened and bubbling. Be careful that the hot polenta does not spatter on you.
2 COVER, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until the grain is thoroughly cooked. Stir occasionally, watching that the bottom doesn’t burn.
3 GREASE a 8½x11 - inch glass dish. Spread the polenta about ½ inch thick, then cover with plastic wrap, smooth the top, and refrigerate to set, about 2 hours (or overnight).*
4 CUT polenta into 12 rectangles. Brush both sides lightly with oil, then grill on both sides until brown and crisp. 5 MIX water and seasoning in a saucepan and sauté the vegetables until tender crisp. Stir in sausage slices. 6 PLACE two pieces of polenta on each plate and top with sausage and vegetable mixture. Drizzle with tomato sauce. Serve immediately.
*For an impressive presentation, pour the hot polenta into a clean, greased soup can or bread tube. When set, slide it out and slice ½ inch thick to grill.

I'm fascinated at Chris's skills in the kitchen. His mom or dad trained him well. He was very intuitive at providing what they needed while staying in the background.
Watching the rest of the show on replay. Funny, my husband is famous now! The turkey man, he has a new nickname! 😄
I have wild turkeys stay on our farm I have such a heart for them. They are not food. I am a plant based farmer I have never ever raised animals for food just rescue animals. We even built a shelter for the wild turkeys I tell them stay here your safe. Our farm is a sanctuary. I love growing food it’s my passion! Animals are not food they are so precious! I am surrounded by farms that raise animals it breaks my heart. I got two rabbits from a lady that was going to make them dinner. Wendy❤️🐞
Great show!
A very charming couple----and tons of info!
Christian is a great assistant, too!
Thank you all!! :)
Awesome demonstration! So good to see you again, Erica! You are amazing!
Such a friendly, heartwarming example of love, trust, communication, support, AND great non-turkey vegan food.
Dr Nedley is my favorite guest you have had. I have listened to the videos at least 2 times and need to listen another time.
Love this. A good day. Am eating and cooking so much better. Thank you!!!
What a delight :) I think I missed Dr Nedley's interview when it first aired - after this, I think I'll have to go back and listen :) what a nice couple, and that was an impressive amount of recipes Erica got in! Thank you all so much
What a wonderful companion video-- the chef and the doctor. I loved that she was cooking while he was explaining all the nutrient benefits and how it affects mood. Many people do not understand how important food is regards their mood. This was one of the best videos ever. Thank you 😻
I love breakfast grainy dishes, I’m looking forward to using these ideas in my own kitchen, thanks for sharing beautifully simple ideas.
Thank you thank you, so fabulous lessons
My wife has chocolate in the house at all times. Glad that I don’t care for it. She is totally not into being vegan. But she prepares meals for me. She is becoming an excellent vegan cook!
Wonderful!!!
I'm going to try them all 🙏👍💖
Very nice AJ... I’m in the mental health field, I found this very interesting! ❤️🏝
I loved this - so informative - but the constant clanging of glass on the stone bench was a bit distracting. But I think i'll be getting this cookbook. thanks
This was a wonderful cooking presentation! What a cute couple!!
Loved the recipes and information.
Wow AJ, what a nice doctor and so interesting foods ..very tempting breakfast. ..Thank you. Never heard of this doctor before though. Must say he knows his stuff .
So glad I clicked on this video … the Grilled Polenta did not pique my interest, but WOWZERS🤩 I’m so glad I did. This video was packed with multiple delicious recipes, helpful tips, and great nutritional advice. Thanks for bringing us this power couple Chef AJ!
You're so welcome!
My naturalpath put me on OatGroats they are hard to find now Whole Foods stopped selling them. I need to find more. I love this channel! Thank you so much Chef AJ Blessings! Wendy❤️
You can find Oat Groats in Amazon.
That was amazing thank you x
You're so welcome!
I would like know what Dr. Nedly think about Stevia powder to substitute sugar?
Impressive! Loved this video.
🧡
Chef AJ would you please share the sausage recipe? Not sure what flour she meant
I really enjoy your videos, however it would be helpful if you provided measurements for all of the ingredients you use.
Does anyone have the ‘Happy’ Walnut cookie recipe?
She did not say all of the amounts. Here is all I got:
2.5 cups fine ground walnuts
? Almond flour
1/3 cup ground flax seed
? Dried fruit
? Carob chips
? Maple syrup
? Vanilla extract
Bake at what temp for how long?
Cookies come out soft but harden as they cool. Cool for 5 mins. So they don’t crack.
Cool for 5 mins
Here it is:
2 ½ c walnuts, ground in food processor
2/3 c almond flour
1 tsp salt
1/3 c flaxseed meal
1/3 c carob chips or raisins
½ c + 2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla
@@juanitastocke7102 Thanks 🙏
@@traceykaminski7874 you’re welcome-and they are delicious!
How much maple syrup & vanilla, and oven temp & cooking time?
@@simonegoyeneche114 Look at post above this it tells you all the ingredients
I kept thinking Dr. Nedely was only there to say hi on his way out the door. I bet you have not had many guests cook in a suit and tie😂
Not many! lol
Sooo I watched and enjoyed this video AND ordered Erica’s book based on the live video. It arrived today and I was floored to see that some recipes call for oil 😟 Would applesauce or bananas be a good substitute for oil??? Her blueberry muffins call for 1/2 cup of canola oil 😱😬😰 I could go on... what is a healthy replacement for oil? I was totally duped by her video. Oil 😳 in her recipes??? Come on Chef AJ.
Disappointing,I no longer cook with oil.
Hi!! Hey just to let u know that Poshmark has some of the mini tupperware slicer u mentioned!! 🏡☕❄🍎🍟💟🐱
I am buying the book but I don’t really want to buy the one on depression, so where can I get the recipe for the cookies?
@@cheezheadz3928 I know but I can make adjustments for that. I just wanted ideas for a change.
But you are not supposed to mix fruit and vegetables, especially cirus and greens.
