Cooking with Pre-Prepared Foods

February 17, 2016

: Episode 551 – Vinnie Tortorich and co-host Andy Schreiber talk The SodaStream, gay bars, and Andy’s Mexican dinner dealing with pre-prepared foods and ingredients on today’s Wednesday edition of the Celebrity Fitness Trainer podcast.

HOW ANDY CHANGED VINNIE’S LIFE

  • Andy got Vinnie a SodaStream — Vinnie likes his water gassed up
  • Save a lot of money not buying Pellegrino etc even though the gas tanks are $15
  • Favorite appliance behind Vitamix
  • Vinnie made fizzy coffee from cold-brewed coffee
    • He loved his ice-soda coffee

ANDY’S DINNER PRE-PREPARED FOODS (ENCHILADA SUACE)

  • Wanted to make a Mexican chicken casserole-y thing without tortillas
  • He doesn’t always have time to do everything fresh in terms of prep
  • Got a can of El Pato enchilada sauce
    • Tomato puree
    • Water
    • Chili peppers
    • Salt
    • Onion
    • Citric acid
    • Garlic
    • Locust bean gum
    • spices
    • In a rush, this is not a bad pre-preapred food to have BUT tomato puree is risky
      • Not the end of the world if you don’t have an egregious amount
  • Used olive oil, spices, cotija cheese, skinless chicken browned, this sauce put it all in dish, melted mozzarella on top
  • Vinnie isn’t a huge mozzarella fan because it is low in fat and high in carbs for a cheese
