Welcome back to my channel and welcome if you are new here today is Monday So that means that it is meal prep day. I have a delicious meal prep for you Most of what I'm sharing with you today falls right into my new Whole Foods clean eating approach to WW the only thing that I'm using that is sugar-free is part of the dessert and that is because I had this plan Prior to my transition over to clean foods But nonetheless everything is absolutely delicious. So if you want to see what I have in store for you for this week's meal prep, stay tuned The thing we're gonna start from meal prep this week is in reverse We are going to make our dessert because it is a crock-pot recipe and it is a slow cooker Cobbler so we need to get that going so that it can cook while we put together the rest of our meal prep So let me show you what is in our slow cooker cobbler. You're going to need some yellow sugar-free cake mix This is the last time you'll be seeing sugar-free cake mix on my channel I decided to go ahead and make this recipe because it sounds delicious and I'm slowly weeding out Sugar-free in general. So we're gonna be using a box of that Lakonto monk fruit sweetener Arrow root powder and this is in replacement of cornstarch. This is a much more natural healthy version to cornstarch So we're gonna be using that as our thickening agent and for fruit I'm gonna be doing cranberries and this triple berry medley that has blueberries blackberries and raspberries You'll also need some vanilla extract and I'm going to be using my melt organic butter This is a plant-based butter. It is a lot higher in points. Then I can't believe it's not butter But I will let you guys know the point difference at the end and I will put down in the recipe below Using light butter and using regular plant-based melt butter. So let's get started on our slow cooker cobbler So to get started on our cobbler We're gonna go ahead and either spray our crock pot or put in a liner Whatever your preference is to that we're gonna add in our six cups of fresh or frozen fruit now You can use either fresh or frozen I just happen to have these cranberries left over in my freezer from the holidays And I just think frozen fruit is a little bit better for this recipe, but really you could do either one So we're just gonna kind of mix our frozen fruit together Those cranberries and those berries to that we're gonna go ahead and add in half of a cup of our monk fruit Sweetener just right over the top of our berries and we're also going to add one tablespoon of arrowroot or corn starch To our cobbler and then a teaspoon of vanilla extract And then you're just gonna take a spoon and get that nice and mixed together You want to make sure those berries are coated really well with the sugar The vanilla and the arrowroot because that is what's going to make it nice and thick and gonna help those berries cook Down and make that cobbler like consistency So next we need to mix together the actual cake portion of our cobbler So in my bowl here, I have my box of sugar-free cake mix to that I'm adding my three tablespoons of my melt melted butter And then we're just gonna mix this together until it is nice and combined And I get a lot of questions on measuring out butter I recommend using a food scale rather than putting your butter directly into a measuring spoon That way you can just measure it by grams and have perfect amount So that's what I did. I just put 42 grams worth of butter here in a little bowl and melted it in my microwave So we're gonna get this nice and combined and then we're gonna sprinkle this over the top of our fruit mixture This looks so good We are just going to pop our lid on and then we are going to put this on low And we're gonna let this cook down for three to four hours or just until the mix is nice and cooked through and our berries look nice and softened The slow cooker cobbler is done.  The topping is still really soft I don't know if you can see that but it's cooked completely through so for this cobbler I'm going to put it into a storage container once it cools a little bit and let's go over the smart points So this makes 12 servings about three-quarters of a cup per serving that does include this yummy cake topping here on the cobbler and Even using the melt plant-based butter versus light butter It did not change the smart points and that's just due to the number of points in the butter versus the number of servings So check always if you can use a whole food or a clean food Instead of a light or fat-free version and see if it even affects the smart points So on all plans, whether you follow green blue or purple three-quarters of a cup or one-twelfth of this amazing Berry cobbler with cake topping is for smart points So I can't wait to have this for dessert again I probably won't eat a lot of the cake topping my husband can have that but the berries are thick and oh I'm so excited for breakfast this week. I'm going to be making a blueberry pancake French toast bake French toast and pancakes together sounds delicious. So let me show you what is in this week's breakfast You're going to need some pancake mix. I'm going to be doing this birch benders paleo Milk or milk alternative of your choice down in the description box I'm going to have the points Using fat-free half-and-half and almond milk and then points with the ingredients that I'm showing Because the points are going to vary a little bit, but I'm going with the organic zero percent milk fat milk Lakonto monk fruit sweetener Sucran gold brown sugar alternative. You'll also need some flour I'm going to be using full fat half-and-half, and I'm also using the melt pit plant-based butter versus light butter You'll need cinnamon vanilla Salt I have some organic blueberries here, and you'll also need some eggs. So let's get started on this week's breakfast So the first thing that we need to do is put together the pancake mix and make our pancakes So again, I'm using the birch benders paleo. I have two cups here to that I'm going to add two cups of water So there's one and I'll grab one more cup and we're just going to stir this together until we have a pancake batter So to make our pancakes, I don't have a griddle because I really don't make pancakes very often So I'm just going to use a pan here. I have some non-stick cooking spray I'm just going to go ahead and spray that in the bottom And then I'm just going to use a half a cup measuring Cup here and my mix and I'm just going to put my pancakes directly into my pan here They don't have to be perfect pancakes They don't have to be the same size because we're making a bake out of these And we're going to divide that bake into the servings regardless of the size of the pancakes So go ahead and add your pancakes to your pan or your griddle and we're going to get these cooked down and ready to go Alright, we're ready to start putting together this pancake bake So here are my not so pretty pancakes But again, it's going to be all layered in a baking dish and with the french toast ingredients So you're not even going to see them So the first thing I'm going to do is take my pancakes and I'm just going to layer them in the bottom of my dish If you make larger pancakes, you'll want to cut your pancakes in half I just decided to go ahead and do the smaller pancakes just to make it a little bit easier When I do go to layer them here in the bottom of my baking dish I will probably end up, you know breaking pieces off to fill in gaps because you do want to have You know a little bit of pancake in every bite So let's get these pancakes in the baking dish and then we'll move on to making the egg mixture Before we make the egg mixture, we're going to add our blueberries So I'm just going to put those right on top of the pancakes Just get them as even as you can The recipe calls for one cup of blueberries. That's exactly what I did This is looking delicious already So we'll put together the egg mixture next So I went ahead and cracked six eggs here in my bowl that way If you pre-crack them, you don't have to worry about getting any shells And then we're going to add just about a teaspoon of vanilla extract And I have one half of a cup of my monk fruit sweetener And I have two cups of the organic non-fat milk And then I did one half of a cup of full fat grass fed half and half So we're going to add that give this a nice whisk together until everything is combined So we're ready to pour our egg mixture here over our pancakes So let me go ahead and turn that there we go So you guys can see So there's our pancakes and then here is our whisked together egg mixture That's going to go right on top of the pancakes and the blueberries And then the next thing we're going to assemble is the french toast portion Of our breakfast, but oh my gosh, this is already looking so good And creamy from the half and half I am not sorry about using half and half at all So I'm going to set this aside and let's put together the french toast portion For the french toast portion, we're essentially making a crumble That we're going to put on top of the pancakes So we have one half of a cup of all-purpose flour We also have one quarter cup of the sucran brown sugar I went ahead and melted two tablespoons of the melt plant-based butter Which is a little less than the recipe called for And then we're going to do a pinch of salt And lastly some cinnamon And I say add as much cinnamon as you'd like It's so good for you and it adds just a ton of flavor And then we're just going to mix this together until we have a crumble And the reason I lowered the amount of the butter is just to help on the smart points And look, this is plenty Actually, I think more butter than that would have prevented this from forming a crumble So I'm actually really glad that I opted for the two tablespoons of the butter So we're just going to mix this together until we have a crumble And it'll go on top of our pancakes So here is our crumble It's perfect with those two tablespoons And then I am just going to sprinkle that over the top of the pancake bake So I went ahead and finished sprinkling over the crumb topping You guys, look how amazing this looks I'm going to cover this with saran wrap And it's going to go in the fridge for two hours It needs a chance to really soak up that egg mixture So we're going to return back to this Well, it won't be for you guys But I'll return back to this after I prep for lunch But it'll all flow together for you guys here in the video So I'm going to get this covered and into the refrigerator I just pulled our pancake french toast bake out of the fridge I'm going to throw this in a 350 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes Or until it's cooked completely You'll know because you won't see any more liquid egg left It'll all be absorbed and cooked fully through I just pulled breakfast out of the oven Doesn't this look absolutely amazing? It smells so good This makes eight servings So I'm going to go ahead and let this cool a bit before I cut into it I am just going to put it in one of my meal prep bowls Because I'm going to pair this with eggs And they're right now Actually my eggs are in my instant pot So I'll just pair that with one or two hard boiled eggs each day Depending on how hungry I am and then an apple So let me let this cool for a few minutes I'll cut this into servings And I'll be back to show you breakfast And give you the smart points All right, so here is breakfast Sorry for my instant pot noise in the background Oh, there we go So it is one eighth of the blueberry pancake french toast bake You guys this looks so good I mean look at that blueberry thick and delicious You can pair this with some maple syrup Whether that be regular or sugar free You could dust a little powdered sugar on there I mean you really or you could just eat it plain Because it has a ton of flavor So let's go over the smart points So if you were to use fat free half and half and almond milk Or fair life or one of those really low point milks It is five smart points per serving on both the blue and purple plan And then it is going to cost you seven points on the green plan If you make it how I made it With all of the organic ingredients So the full fat half and half And the organic non fat milk It is going to cost you just one point more you guys For better ingredients So six smart points on both blue and purple And eight on green You can't beat it And then I'm literally pairing mine With one of my organic gala apples These are so good I got these at Costco delicious And one to two hard boiled eggs So my full breakfast The way I made it is going to be Six smart points on the blue plan For lunches this week I'm going to be making a sun dried tomato cheesy meatball I'm going to have that with some quinoa and some veggies So let me show you what is in this week's lunches For the meatballs You're going to need some sort of binder So I'm going to use this ground lupin that I picked up at Costco This is supposed to be a great binder So I'm excited to give it a try This is literally you guys made from chickpeas Let me show you the ingredients It says ingredients lupin But it is from the same family as chickpeas and lentils So essentially it's a legume That is similar to a chickpea or a lentil in that same family So I'm going to use that as my binder We'll also need some minced garlic Sun dried tomatoes If you pick up the ones that aren't in oil They're zero smart points You'll need some tomato paste Salt and pepper Oregano and basil I also have some parmesan cheese Eggs And then I have one pound of grass fed 93-7 organic ground beef So that's everything for the meatballs I'm going to be making some quinoa And I'm going to make it in the better than bouillon And that is going to be my liquid So if you make your rice or quinoa in a broth It adds so much flavor So I'm going to do that And then I have these zucchini blend This organic zucchini blend from Walmart And I'm just going to divide that up For the week for my meal prep So let's get started on lunch So I'm going to start by getting my quinoa cooked So I have one and a half cups of quinoa To that I'm going to be adding three cups of the made chicken Better than bouillon That's what I decided to do It's two teaspoons of the better than bouillon With three cups of water You just mix it together Super easy We're going to go ahead and turn this on to high And this is going to come to a rolling boil We're going to stir it Pop a lid on it and let it cook And we're going to start our meatballs So in my bowl here I have my one pound of the 93.7 grass fed beef To that I'm going to add one egg And I'm also going to add my rest of my package here Of the sundried tomatoes It's a little less than the recipe called for But that's all that I have left So I'm just going to go ahead and add that This is what that ground lupin looks like That I showed you guys from Costco So it literally looks like it kind of resembles cornmeal So I'm going to add that and that's going to be the binder I'm going to add my oregano And again do as much as you would like It calls for about a tablespoon of oregano And a tablespoon which is about what I have left Of basil And then we're going to go ahead and drop in a little bit of salt And also a little bit of pepper I have my minced garlic here And I just kind of wing it It says four cloves So that's pretty close to about the four cloves of the minced garlic And then we're going to add in one half of a cup of grated parmesan That's what's going to make these cheesy meatballs And then lastly I just have my tomato paste here So I'm going to go ahead and add in about a tablespoon Of the tomato paste Oh I'm sorry four tablespoons what the recipe calls for There's one Two Three And I love the two by the way you guys It's so easy to keep And four And then we're going to give this a mix Get this nice and combined And then we'll be ready to roll out our meatballs So I have my meat mixture mostly combined I'll finish it off with my hands I went ahead and sprayed my pan here with some of my avocado oil spray I'm going to roll out my meatballs You can do 12 large meatballs Or 20 for small meatballs I'm going to go for the small meatballs So let's get these rolled out and into the pan Life is a winding road where it goes Driving through days and nights won't stop for traffic lights And here are our meatballs I actually ended up with more than 24 And I want to let you guys know that I This is the second time I've used this grass fed beef It is 93 7% It has less grease than 96 4 and the flavor There is no comparison For conventional ground beef and grass fed I will forever buy grass fed beef It is well worth it I promise you So I've got my meatballs here on the stove We're just going to let these cook through My quinoa has almost gotten rid of all of the liquid Once the liquid is absorbed You're just going to pull it off the heat And just let it stand for five minutes And let's cook up these meatballs So I'm going to be having one half of a cup of quinoa each day So I'm going to go ahead and get those measured out And into my meal prep container But that's a lot of quinoa you guys And it's the same smart points as rice And so much better for you Look at how delicious these meatballs look And like I mentioned, there is no grease In the bottom of this pan whatsoever And this is a fattier cut of lean ground beef But because it's grass fed Not only does it taste better But the grease is far less So these are just about done And then when these are done We're going to put together our meal prep So I have my quinoa in my meal prep container I'm going to go ahead and add in my zucchini blend That I'm going to be having as well While my meatballs continue to cook All right, here's our meatballs Look how amazing these look I'm going to top it with some of my Skinny-ish dish, crock-pot marinara I will link this recipe below Because I showed you that I made it In the beginning of the meal prep So this is going to be perfect To have over the top of the meatballs I ended up using two packages Of the frozen organic zucchini So let's top the quinoa with the meatballs And the sauce And I'll show you my completed lunch So you can see each day that I'm going to have Four of the meatballs And actually I have some left So I'll probably have those for lunch today The recipe actually makes six servings So it'd be six servings of four meatballs And I ended up having two additional meatballs And then I have my zucchini, my quinoa And then lastly I just have some Zero-point marinara here And this is zero points no matter how much you use So I'm just going to add a little bit To the top of my quinoa and my meatballs And then you can always add some additional cheese If you want when you go to warm this up Just make sure you're counting for those additional points So I'm just going to plop on some marinara here And then this portion of our lunch will be complete And I'll be back to show you exactly What I'm having for my full lunch And give you the smart points All right here is my completed lunch This looks absolutely amazing So let me show you kind of what I'm having here So again I have my zucchini My half of a cup of quinoa is three smart points And then my marinara is zero And on the screen here I will put the smart points If you used 96-4 lean ground beef And the smart points using the 93-7 grass fed And that way you can decide what points value You want to take for lunch But that is the main portion of my lunch And I'm just going to pair that With some organic strawberries That'll be my

won't have these every day Other than my built bar But these are the snack options That I'm going to have on hand for the week So of course starting with my built bar This is the peanut butter I've really been loving the peanut butter And the coconut almond I feel like they keep me a little bit more full Any of the ones with nuts I haven't ordered the toffee nut yet But I feel like for the extra smart point It's well worth it Because they keep you a little bit more full And satisfied with the extra protein, fiber, and fat It really makes a difference in satisfaction Now with built bar and

Welcome to Healthy Planet, the show for people who care about their health and the health of our planet on the ThinkTech Livestreaming Network series. I'm your host, Dr. Grace O'Neill. Joining me today is Laura Lee Blanchard, founder of Lailani Farm Sanctuary. Today we're talking about the sanctuary, so let's get started. Tell us about your life before the sanctuary. I was working in the corporate world where my days were spent in high-rise office buildings. I was the senior vice president of a commercial real estate brokerage firm, and it was about as different of a lifestyle as this. And after many years of working in that industry, I became interested in cat rescue. So in the evenings after long days of business meetings, I would go and rescue cats in the evenings and ended up adopting more and more cats. Well my cat rescue work led me to the Orange County People for Animals, an animal rights organization, and it was then that I learned about factory farming and other species of animals and was introduced to a vegan lifestyle. So that was about 26 years ago. And then what finally forced or just kind of inspired you to make the transition to what you're doing today? Like how did you pick up and move? It was a bit of a gradual process. Started looking for farms in California, which is where I was living, Northern California, and wasn't able to find a farm with the right amount of acreage. And then one day we learned that the Hawaii had reduced its quarantine requirement for cats. And at the time I had 11 cats, so that was very important. It would have been a deal breaker otherwise. So decided to come out to Hawaii on a scouting mission. And I was very fortunate because this property was not even on the market. There were no properties on the market that had acreage. And this one was soon to be on the market, and we learned about it and made an offer in the rest of history all these years in the past. Wow. And when you say we, who's we? That was my former husband. Okay. He's back in California now. So did you, after, did you think you just were going to quit, essentially, or were you first planning to find a job? Well he, when I married him, he was a medical doctor, general practitioner, and he realized at the beginning of our marriage that practicing medicine didn't suit him very well. What he really loved to do was remodel houses. He liked construction and craftsmanship, woodworking. So during the years that I was in the corporate world, I was a breadwinner, but he made a significant contribution by adding value to our house with the construction skills that he had. So before moving to Maui, I took a consulting job with our animal rights movement based in Bethesda, Maryland, and worked as their national communications director. So when I arrived on Maui, I was still able to do that. I was able to work remotely just as I had when I lived in California. So that's what I did for the first few years or so. And then how did you end up acquiring the animals that you had? Was that always the intention that you were going to have a farm sanctuary? I never intended to have an official farm sanctuary. That wouldn't have been an acceptable plan to my then husband. Our plan was to just have a few of our own personal animals. So as I said, we came with the 11 cats and then we heard about a couple of very tame hens who needed a home. So we took in the two hens and he felt like an aviary for them. And then year two after that, we received a call about a couple of newborn baby goats, twin goats, and they were teeny tiny about the size of a cat, just hours old. Their bellicoats were still wet. Hunters had killed their mother, so they were orphans. So this is the first time I had ever experienced having baby goats and oh boy, I don't think there's anything cuter than a baby goat. And we had them in the house with us. Of course, they had to wear diapers and they were bouncing around. You know how goats like to jump on things? They're propelling themselves off the bed and they're busting on their diapers. So we had to put little infant pajamas on them and safety pinned their pajamas to their diapers so they wouldn't bust out of their diapers. They were so cute. That's wonderful. And then how did you when are they usually weaned from their mother's goats? Like, how did you did you get goat milk? Well, we had to feed them around the clock. Well, I shouldn't say around the clock. They slept through the night. They were sound sleepers. They slept on our pillows and make a pee ball. Yeah, they were.  And they're they're easy. They were so content to be in the bed on the pillows. And during the day, they'd drink their bottles. And while they were drinking, they'd look straight up and make direct eye contact. And they were so warm and soft and super tame because they were imprinted so young. So they they loved to be carried around and just absolutely adorable. Yeah, was it hard to move them out of the house eventually?  Well, that was that was like 23 years ago. So they're unfortunately, they're no longer with us. They exceeded they they completed their lifespan. The average lifespan for goats is 13, 15 years. Oh, they've gone to goat heaven. But to answer your question, they actually loved when they graduated to the outdoors, yeah, because they could graze and run around. So they didn't mind not being in the house anymore. Yeah. And most importantly, they had each other, which makes all the difference. Yeah. Why why did you have to have them inside at first? Well, um. A couple of reasons. Number one, we didn't have a barn. We didn't have a fence paddock for them. They were our first farm animals, so we didn't. We weren't set up for them to be outside. Also, when they're that young, it's good to keep them warm. And since they need to be bottle fed all the time, it was easy to have them inside. Yeah, just kind of convenient. How about the other animals? How did you acquire some of the other animals like the animal that the farm sanctuary is named after? If you could show the picture. Eric. Leilani. Yes. Leilani was living in a pasture and one day the neighbor who was friends with Leilani, her name was Sue. Sue would go over there every evening at sunset and hang out with this donkey, bring her an apple, and they became best friends. And she'd bring her brush and she'd brush the donkey. And one evening, Sue learned that the property was going to be subdivided and developed. So Leilani was to be sold in an auction, livestock auction. And she told me about this. And my husband and I went for a bike ride. So a visitor at the pasture and it was a huge pasture. And when we pulled up, she looked like she was miles away, but we called her name and she responded.  That's awesome. Yes. So we made arrangements to bring her over. And that was she was the namesake for the sanctuary. And then how did things evolve after that? Well, my husband started getting tired of building fences and doing things involving animal structures. What he really wanted to do was find carpentry and work on the house. Yeah. And it just wasn't the lifestyle that he wanted. So he decided to move back to California. But it was a difficult situation because we co-owned this property. And I didn't have any savings to buy him out. This was this is like 2008 when the market crashed. And we had a lot. He was investing our savings in the stock market. And in the early years, he made a fortune, which is how we were able to get to Maui. We were one time millionaires, but it all evaporated with the crash. So by the time my former husband decided to move back to California, we were pretty much broke. And I was in a bit of a bind because here I have all these animals. And he's entitled to his 50 percent share of the equity in the property. So it was really touchy there for a while. But in the end, I found a couple who was interested in co-owning the property with me. So that was the plan. They were going to co-own it there and we built a cottage in the back of the property where I would live where the animals are. And the couple would live in the original house. Their their lawyer, though, convinced them that co-owner chef was fraught with problems and that by a sudden not to do it. So they said, if you want us to buy the property and you live here, you can have a lifetime lease. So that's what we ended up arranging. So my former husband got his equity and now I'm here for the duration of my lifetime. So they still live on the property, then, this couple. The wife, Sarah Taylor, who has been a speaker for the Vegetarian Society of Hawaii. She just a few months ago died.  Yes, she she was very young. She was the author of the book, Vegetarian to Vegan. Yeah. And vegan, vegan in 30 days. So pretty tragic. Yeah, but her husband, Mark, is still here. He's he's also a medical doctor, ophthalmologist. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, I'm. Makes me sad. But anyway, I was wondering, how about the other animals? I know you have a few pigs as well. Yes, we we have 16 different species of animals and they have come under all different types of circumstances. We have deer, the deer all came as orphans after their mothers were killed by hunters. The picture you just saw in the screen was our duck pond. We have many ducks, geese, swans and and turkeys, the turkeys were both saved from being put here for Thanksgiving. Oh, that's wonderful. And they have convinced so many visitors to rethink what they're going to eat for Thanksgiving because visitors come and the turkeys love to be hugged. So the visitors can squat down and hug them. And after hugging a turkey, it's kind of hard to want to consume a turkey when you when you realize what affectionate animals they are. Yeah, they're beautiful animals, too. I think turkey is beautiful. You don't realize, you know, they have beautiful feathers and it's certainly are. So how about those roosters that are growing in the background? Oh, we have lots of roosters.  Hmm.  But for you, that must have been dangerous. So they were tethered by their legs and I brought my scissors and cut the tethers right out their legs and whisked them away.  Oh, it is. I think it's I think it's because the crime is classified as a misdemeanor rather than a felony. Yeah, that's too bad. It is rampant here. I had some next door neighbors actually who were actually keeping these roosters in kind of like a little cage and we suspected me. Why would you want to it was just weird?    Well, well, now what happened is my husband got very angry at them because the rooster was making noise every day and waking him up. So he went over and yelled at them. So, you know, the roosters were liberated. So excellent. Yeah. So we have like a liberated rooster now, just roaming about. Yay. That's great. Yeah. So that's what happened with that. But how about the pigs? How did you acquire the pigs? We we have we have one pig named Bernie who came to us as a wild. He was a young wild boar living in the gulch just on the other side of the property. And he decided that he wanted to be friends with the donkeys and the other pigs here. So we we were worried about him being in the gulch with hunters and dogs. So we we had him join our family. That was many years ago. And we have another pig named Charlotte, who was living on a pork. You do remember me and Charlotte? Yeah. Yeah. She was living on a pork farm where they were raising pigs for bacon, sausage, ham and all the things that it turned pigs into. And she escaped with her whole family. She was just a young piglet at the time. The whole family was living right in the brush of the Huna Highway. And Hunter spotted her family and hunters started shooting at the pigs. But they got arrested for firing guns so close to traffic. Good. They should be. I mean, that's really dangerous, too. Yes, it is. But they return the next day with snares. And unfortunately, Charlotte got caught in a snare. But before the hunters could retrieve her, a rescuer came along and saved her life. So she's here now safe for the rest of her life. And just last week, we received 16 guinea pigs. Oh, really? Six? Yes. Sixteen. So many. Well, what's happening is now that COVID is receding in schools back in session, parents are taking the kids guinea pigs to the shelter. And so there's a huge overpopulation. They're surrendering guinea pigs at record rates. So the Maui Humane Society asked if we would help. And guinea pigs are here and they're just having the greatest time. Yeah. And they get along. You remember? Do you remember them? Yeah, I remember feeding them the carrots. And they love the cats. The cats go in and hang with them. The guinea pigs have little two story houses and the cats go in and snuggle. Really sweet. So now we've got maybe 40 guinea pigs. Oh, my gosh. And they're so happy because they get to exercise. They're out of cages. They get fresh air, sunshine, organic veggies and fruits. So they're happy.  Because I remember when we visited, you know, the chickens lay eggs. But I don't remember what you do with them because. Well, some people ask us if we sell them and we don't. And that's because we do not consider eggs a healthy food. They're loaded with cholesterol and, as you know, animal protein feeds cancer cells. So we don't do that. But we do have friends who rescue pigs who hard boil the eggs and feed them to pigs. And that's perfectly fine. Yes, well, that's what we do with our eggs. Even though they're cruelty free eggs, there's still not anything we're interested in eating. Yeah, no, definitely not good for you. People don't realize how much cholesterol an egg has. So yeah. So how about visitors? Tell us about, you know, visitors. How can they come to visit the sanctuary? Visitors come and attend our farm tours. We have farm tours three times a week and they get to see the whole farm. We take them around and they get to meet all the different species of animals. They get to be carrots and the tortoises. We have Africans, so called the tortoises.  We have sheep. It's very interactive. They get to go into the aviary and hold the chickens. So the farm tours are one way for people to visit us. The other way is a lot of people on vacation come and volunteer. We have volunteer days twice a week. Nice. And so that's really fun. And after they do, the volunteers do on the volunteer days. All different projects, we often give them a choice, you know, it might be gardening, it might be brewing the animals, it might be collecting the eggs. And if we have room on the tour after the volunteering, they can join us, as I guess. Nice. That's, I mean, have people come and have you seen some people come through the sanctuary and then kind of change their mind about eating animals and consuming? Oh, yes. And it's the best news I can possibly hear from people after they visited to learn that they've decided to stop eating animals. We hear it all the time and you have to figure that for every one person who tells us, there may be 10 others who don't, who we never find out about. Yeah, that's true.  Just how personable they are. They all have individual personalities. They have distinct voices. I can tell all my chickens apart by their voices. Like every cockadoodle, every cockadoodle do is unique. The goats all have different voices and they're really smart.  For example, if I say Nancy, just Nancy will go, ah. That's cool. Freddie won't answer and Anthony won't answer, but Nancy knows her name. They all do. So I would like people to know that farm animals are just as sensitive and capable of feeling as our pet cats and dogs. Absolutely. People don't realize that. How about the cow? I mean, how did you guys acquire the cow? Dorothy, thank you for asking. Dorothy was living on a ranch where she was being used as a milk cow. And when her milk production waned, the rancher decided that it was time for her to go to the slaughterhouse. But one of the workers on the farm, this guy, a farmhound, had developed a really loving relationship with Dorothy, and he could not bear the thought of her going to the slaughterhouse. So he offered to pay his boss whatever amount of money the slaughterhouse would get for the cow, which is about $500. And the boss said, OK, but what are you going to do with her? And the guy said, well, just have to find find another farm. So he called up all the farms on the island and nobody wanted a cow who wasn't a commodity. If she's not a milk producer and we can't slaughter her, why should we have a cow? But then he found us and we were ecstatic to finally be getting our first cow we had held out for a rescue cow. And we'd been operating as a sanctuary for so many years without a cow. And so we got Dorothy and in the end, the rancher did not dock his workers paycheck and the worker came several times and visited Dorothy, better bananas. And she was really afraid of most people because she hadn't been well socialized, but now she just soaks up the love. Visitors, brush her and. Handfeeder and she's totally mellow. That's wonderful.   So I wrote a book called Binding Paradise and it's about my. Journey from corporate America to the farm and it's full of a lot of drama and it can be. It's available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. If you go to our website, there's a tab that says book or book and our website is www.BailaniFarmSanctuary.org not calm or G. Well, thank you so much, Lorie. We're out of time, but we have to wrap it up. OK, yeah. So, you know, really loved having you on the show and I'm just going to wrap it up now. I'm Dr. Baso Nail. This is Healthy Planet on the Think Tech live streaming network series. We've been talking with Lorie Lee Blanchard from the Lailani Farm Sanctuary. Thanks to you all for being here.

Oh Facing this way. All right big reveal it is Bell launch box from 1982 Sorry, I did I don't I didn't have one of these I've been thinking about getting one for quite some time But I love this it is It has some artwork that's kind of unique to the the lunchbox and I absolutely Love the artwork on this thing. I love the way the Joes look in this painted artwork It's kind of an understated style. You know, it's not like over-the-top action It's got kind of a semi realistic style to it and I just love this I can stare at it for hours So thank you, John. This is special This is something that I've been looking at for quite some time and I did not have one And it is heavy and so it feels like there's stuff in it So I'm gonna open it and see what's in it You may have just like packed some extra packing material in there If the thermos is in there, so it doesn't rattle around, so let's see Open it up. It does have the thermos. Oh it has This appears I believe this is the gun for the buzz bore I think But it does have the thermos there you go There that Yeah, that's awesome. Let me see if I can zoom in a little bit Find my remote find the clicker and yeah, look at this. There is the thermos Yeah, this is just classic 80s. There's some more stuff in here, too. Let me see What's that? Okay? Oh Cool, I don't know what this figure is, but it's awesome. I know what that is That's a toxo viper Remember the toxo viper was the last surviving Joe for my childhood. Oh A cobra eel my favorite army builder the cobra eel There's oh look this For GI Joe team members members only top secret see inside for special offer Oh, it's a little look it's a hooded cobra commander male away offer That's so awesome. That's so awesome. Oh Look at that. This is the Brazilian stalker. Oh look at that color I don't know if you can see this and I'll take it out of the bag But this must be the Brazilian stalker As I've said before I don't collect international But I kind of do like to have a sampling of international figures because Sorry Because they're really cool But check out the coloring on that stalker. I don't know if you can see it, but like The coloring is different from the US version. That's just amazing Just I'm gonna put them back because I don't want to Accidentally damage it But how cool is that? So thank you for that. There's more in here Carefully dig in here Carefully Let's see take some of the packing material out. What are these guys these blue guys? I'm not familiar with with these. Hold on. Maybe I can Let's see No, I can't read it So these these are non-joe, but they're really interesting figures. Let me zoom in a little bit and Not sure what that's from so Hints clues and suggestions welcome. There's that guy and there's another one Another one here and we have oh, hey Something post vintage This is a night force beach head. I don't remember what year this is from But it's after the vintage era, but you know it has uses that classic beach head Mold but in night force colors I have seen this figure before I had I don't have one. Well, I guess I do now. Thank you John But really interesting way that they Converted this to a night force figure So really cool. So that's everything that's in the lunchbox So let's zoom it out and see what else we got first I think I'm gonna put everything back in here just to keep it safe. All right Let's see what else is in here. He said there was a cobra wolf in here. I don't see it yet. What I see is a thermos from another GI Joe lunchbox, and I believe this is like a 1988 or 89 thermos From like one of the plastic lunchboxes when they went to plastic instead of metal Yeah, what's got snake eyes on it. It's got rock and roll version two on it So that's really cool. I may have to start taking my lunches to work in this Okay. Oh, I see it. I see the cobra wolf So let's pull this out This is one that he restored from a shell Okay, hey that gun is for this hold on that gun that I thought was for the buzz board is for this There you go Very nice cobra wolf. It doesn't have the gun on it, but it's I put it back in the lunchbox I'll put that on when I'm done here and inside the cobra wolf is a Snow serpent. I'm sorry. I'll put that back on a snow serpent And this is another great army builder a snow serpent is an excellent figure So and an appropriate of course for the cobra wolf So really nice. Looks like it's got some good wheels on that It's that's always the biggest problem with these cobra wolves is the wheels The little pegs that hold the wheels on tend to break. It's nice to see this one's in pretty good shape So, thank you, John. Nice restoration on that. Looks like you got all the missiles And the the ski torpedoes It's looking good. So well done. Well done. So that may be it That's not it. I see more I see more Let me make sure this is out enough so I can see And I don't want to oh Look at that. Okay Keeping with the theme of lunchboxes. This is a thermos from what looks like the 1987 plastic lunch box And I had you know, I didn't have any of these I have seen them of course But I hadn't picked any up yet. But right there is the thermos. It's got the the defiant there It's got the cobra mamba It's got some 87 characters there So really nice nice artwork on this thermos And I saw something else in here Yeah, that's so cool Oh, yeah, you'll get a kick out of this also in here is a pair of kids size obviously House shoes or slippers Gijo with sergeant slaughter on there check that out If only they would fit me which way to go if only they would fit me I would totally wear these Check out the camouflage And the sergeant slaughter prints with the triple T tank This is just super 80s So that's that's a fun and unique item. I didn't even know these existed Obviously, I didn't have them so I just went through the packing material. Just make sure I didn't miss anything I think we got everything. So thank you, John. That is so cool. It's very cool of you to send this. Thank you very much I don't know if I will get anything else for February if I do I will add more to this video. Holy cow Yes, we got more packages in February a lot more I should have waited to record that first segment But it was late enough in the month that I didn't think we would get more stuff But we definitely got more stuff. So I'm gonna open this stuff up show you what we got We got some packages from some old friends and from some new friends So this should be really interesting. I did go ahead and cut the boxes So it'll be easier for me to get into them. But let's find out what everybody sent us I have three boxes from Brandon Knight and Brandon He's an old friend of the channel. He's helped out before and he's sent a lot of stuff before so He's has now three boxes here So I'm gonna go through these one at a time and see what Brandon sent us and I'm gonna start with this smaller one Because it was on top So let's see what Brandon sent us. It looks like we have a letter from Brandon It says dear HCC 788 love the new intro. Thank you very much The new reviews are great and well done when you need a more Cobra reviews, you're right Hey, I'm working on those Cobra reviews I love the Joe's but I like like I told my grandfather many years ago need more bad guys How else are you going to play GI Joe without bad guys? That's a good point. I keep up the good work I keep having fun. Hope you see to see you at Joe Fest. Yes, Joe Fest coming up in June I will be there It says PS more GI Joe figures to help Future reviews. Hope these help out. Also, there's a special figure. I would like you to review for my birthday Sunday, May 26th This will be cool for my birthday. Okay So let's see what he sent us here. We have some bubble wrap always important Let's see here. We have I See I don't know if this is the one the special one or not I'm not sure which one is the special one. Make sure you let me know which one is the special one Brandon But this one is Well here gets when you zoom it in so you can see it's overkill It's the Cobra bat leader. Let me take him out of the bag so you can see a little better. Oh I just saw I saw another figure in the box and maybe that one's the special one. Hold on a second here But let's let's finish looking at overkill Yeah overkill over kills a special figure it's interesting anyway, so There's there's overkill with file card, so thank you for very much for that Let me put them back in the bag so I don't lose them And let's see what else is in this box, and I'm seeing one right here that is pretty amazing and special to me And that would be Wow, this is awesome this is Night Force shockwave Holy cow Uh Brandon this is Extremely generous Is this the special figure including the file card because it looks pretty special to me? Let's slide the figure out real quick that that That looks to be in really nice shape and as some of you may know by now these night force figures are Are not easy to come by And it looks like all the accessories are here. It looks complete to me. Well, thank you Brandon. That is amazing. This is huge And you know I'm a big fan of shockwave anyway But this night force version is really sweet, so thank you Brandon for that And in addition to that we've got oh we got some cool stuff. We're not done in addition to that we have a Hooded cobra commander from what year was this one was it like 92 I think and then The cobra viper version What version was this one? It's got a nice color scheme It's like I want to say version three of the cobra viper the one after the Python patrol version So really nice figures really nice indeed Including the very rare Night force Shockwave this is That's incredible. So if that's the one that you're thinking of as the special one let me know but Thanks, Brandon. That's awesome. So let's look at another box that Brandon Is has sent Keeping of course, I always keep the letters, so We will zoom out a little bit. I always keep the letters that everyone sends so Here is the second box that Brandon sent I don't know if it's the second box he sent the may have sent them in a different order But this is the second one. I'm opening again because it's on top Let's see. Oh, this is That's well, first of all, we've got a bag of missiles and guns and figure stands. So that's that's great I can never have too many figure stands And I've got some packing popcorn. I just I can see what's in here. You guys are gonna get a kick out of this It is Manimals Yeah, still on the card and I think this these were released. I think they were KB toys exclusives. I think but There it is Manimals This is war wolf war wolf So, oh, we got another letter got another letter Brandon says I hope your family you and your family are doing well and And doing great a great video on the Dallas vintage toy stores. Thank you makes me want to visit the place one day in my life In this package are the animals all three of them really? And are here and ready for a review in the future. Yeah, there's another one. This one is Sly thore Then they have names kind of like he-man villains I know these are not vintage technically But they are Create they were created originally for the vintage line. That's true Then canceled for the south sergeant savage toy line. It would be fun to hear your thoughts on these figures Will you review them separately or together also weird history on the creation of these figures keep up to great work Never stop playing with your toys. Thank you, Brandon and Yeah, I don't know I since I didn't have these before I didn't have any plan really for how I would review them because I hadn't thought of it, but Iguanas iguanas is the name of that one. These are hilarious and I'll I'm gonna have to just take a closer look at them because I'm not actually all that familiar with animals and I will need to Familiarize myself with them to even understand what even in the heck I'm looking at But thank you Brandon. This is highly amusing And I look forward to taking a closer look at them Okay, so let's go ahead and finish off the boxes that Brandon sense so there is one more It is not on top But I'm gonna go ahead and finish off the stuff that Brandon senses some Brandon went through all the trouble to send so much I want to go ahead and open it so he has here a letter oh These are for a green yet. He wanted to help the kid get GI Joe figures that are hard to find and collect They will make him very happy. Also. I put together a small army build a kid should have dreams And sometimes a dream should come true if I can make one kid dream dream come true Then I'm happy to do this one kind act Makes all the difference in the world. Please help these figures get to the right journey Well green Yeti if you're watching I understand that at least you said that you'll be at Joe Fest Looks like I'll have to bring these with me. Let's see what What's Brandon said this the first ever? Box of toys that's been sent to me, but has not actually been specifically for me So I'll try to make sure these do get to the right destination Let's see what we got But wait should we wait and let green Yeti be surprised Brandon has done. I'm going to I'm gonna keep the letter with it Thanks Thanks Brandon for that actually thinks I want to thank you for that even though this isn't for me, but thank you for Thinking of your fellow fans That is very generous, and I think that's a good way to treat your fellow fans He said a good example. So thank you very much for that. So that's all that I have from Brandon Let's see what else we got now this Um This actually is something that I've opened previously, but I wanted to show it to you This is an action man Intelligence manual this is from the UK.
