	Robin Roberts wakes us up every morning with the latest headlines.
	But sometimes a story stays with her long after the news has been read.
	And today, Robin is revealing one of those true crime ripped-from-the-headline stories about a baby girl, Kamaya, who was abducted from her mother's arms only hours after her birth, only to find out 18 years later, the woman who raised her isn't really her mother at all.
	Robin exclusively interviewed Kamaya and helped turn her story into an emotional lifetime movie.
	Welcome back my good friend, Robin Roberts.
	Good morning.
	How are you?
	Oh, I love seeing you.
	Oh, bless you, thank you.
	Better than ever.
	Everyone.
	They adore you, and so do I. Oh, right back at them.
	There's so many things you could talk about.
	There's so many things you do talk about.
	Yet this story stuck for you.
	What was it?
	You know, it was one of those stories.
	I remember when it happened three years ago.
	And I knew that I wanted to know more.
	So I'm like, if I want to know more, do other people want to know more?
	And I knew there was more to the story.
	Let's get into it a tiny bit.
	Because as I learned about it, I was progressively stunned.
	This is, by the way, it's like unwrapping an onion.
	I feel like I'm Shrek here talking about this.
	First off, 18 years ago, how could someone walk into a hospital, take a baby, and walk out?
	How did that happen?
	You tell me.
	You tell me, doctor.
	It seems impossible to me.
	I know, it does seem impossible.
	So it was 1998, and Gloria Williams was a nurse in South Carolina.
	She drives to Jacksonville.
	She's dressed as a nurse.
	She knows what a nurse does.
	She goes into the maternity ward, sees this young teenage mother.
	The baby was just hours old.
	But this really made national news because just as you said, how can anybody walk into a hospital and walk out with a baby?
	And that's why I was hearing from mothers who say they put like little stains on their babies and things like that, little things, little markers, so when the baby, they know that that is their baby.
	Now it's like Fort Knox.
	Babies are locked up.
	They have multiple arm risks, but that's because this was able to occur.
	So in the film, here's how you're able to depict how easily this could happen.
	I was stunned.
	No, what's so different, it says you've heard of babies getting mixed up, but a baby being stolen is something different.
	And when you steal a baby, there's often evil intent, a desire to harm the child for whatever crazy reason.
	What was the excuse for Kamaya being taken?
	Gloria Williams, her abductor, was in a relationship with a man named Charles Manigo.
	It was a bad relationship.
	And she thought having a baby would save their relationship.
	She was actually pregnant.
	She had a miscarriage.
	And so she panicked because she felt, again, that she needed a baby.
	Now, she claims that she just happened to get in a car, just happened to drive down to Jacksonville, happened to walk into, that she had no intent.
	That's what she claimed.
	But then she did come clean and go, it was wrong.
	There's no sugarcoating it, even though she did a wonderful job in raising Kamaya, who she called Alexis.
	You cannot do something like this.
	How is it possible that she would go back to her life in South Carolina with Kamaya and no one knew she was not the biologic child?
	Because there was nothing that this woman had ever done for people to think that she was capable of something like this.
	And you know what?
	She kept a baby bag packed the first few months because she just knew, I'm going to get found out.
	Someone's going to come and going to take the baby.
	And then years go by and years go by.
	And then it was 16 years in.
	What does the kid want to do?
	Wants a job, right?
	Yes.
	The kid wants a job.
	What do you need?
	Social security card.
	Thank goodness.
	I know, exactly, right.
	And so when she said she wanted a job, her mother panicked and came clean.
	So Kamaya actually knew for almost two years before authorities were alerted.
	Now, Kamiya wanted to find out more about herself, so she went online.
	She actually called her birth mother, hung up.
	Now, her birth mother, we should also say, every single year had a birthday party.
	Every single year cut a piece of birthday cake, put it in the freezer, and believed that she was going to see this child again.
	And that's what's been so hard is that Kamaya has this relationship still with her abductor.
	And it's very hard for her mother, Shannara.
	Very hard for her.
	But can I just say that Nisi Nash, Raven Pharrell, Sargent Jones, who played the three principal members, they really bring this story to life.
	Can you share what happens to the mom, the abductor?
	18 years in prison she was sentenced.
	18 years.
	One year for every year she abducted Kamaya.
	One year for every year she abducted her.
	So she is in jail in Florida and Kamaya went to see her in December.
	This past December, for the first time in three years, she went there to the jail.
	And so that is very difficult for the biological mother.
	She can't wrap her mind around why her daughter would still want to have a relationship with this woman.
	She's juggling two families, two families who love her.
	It's the ultimate dilemma in life.
	And the fact that she has an abductor and a mother, and she's being torn to not ignore the abductor who was there for her, even though she should have never been in her life for many years.
	And there's a part in the, it's a very emotional clip of the movie, maybe the most.
	I mean, it's biblical almost.
	You couldn't make up these kinds of emotional tensions where good and evil gets twisted and roped around each other.
	You actually had an opportunity to interview Kamaya.
	What was your takeaway during that?
	What was very important to me after the movie to have the documentary and the way this beautiful young woman is able to share her story, and I believe there's something that will resonate with a lot of people.
	I love how you elevate all the stories you cover.
	So you should tune in, Robin Roberts presents Stolen by My Mother.
	The Kamaya Mobley story premieres on Lifetime January the 18th.
	And stick around after the feature for Robin's exclusive interview with Kamaya.
	That's the part I really want to see.
	As she opens up about her life since her true identity was exposed.
	Now when we come back, Robin Roberts can talk about a lot of things, but she's going to share how she's reclaiming her life after battling health challenges.

	I want to know.
	I'm going to hope all the time.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	All right, if you want to know who the real Robin Roberts is, that's her inspiring the audience during the break when no one's watching.
	She didn't have to do that.
	That's what I love about you.
	Now, they say sometimes superheroes don't wear capes.
	And that phrase may actually, well, may be true about Robin Roberts.
	You've done so much with so many ways.
	I think you deserve CAPE status.
	I nominate you for one of this ones.
	And Robin's here to share her own keys to resilience after experiencing two life-threatening illnesses.
	We've had many conversations over my wonderful life with you.
	But in 2007, when you were diagnosed with cancer and subsequently with myelosplastic syndrome, you went through a couple of combo punches that would have leveled a lot of folks.
	Update everyone.
	How are you feeling now?
	Praise God.
	I'm doing as well as I am.
	I am so incredibly grateful to the doctors, the nurses, the technicians who still to this day keep an eye on me.
	I do my due diligence.
	I go for my regular checkups.
	I have started meditating.
	I watch what I eat more so than I did before.
	All those things that I need to do.
	But I just, I want to be a symbol to people that this too shall pass.
	Everybody's got to, really.
	But can I tell y'all something?
	When I was first diagnosed in 2007 and I'm seeing the doctors here in New York and everything, my aunt Defoya, may she rest in peace, she said, have you talked to Dr. Oz yet?
	True story.
	True story.
	I was like, I'll get to him.
	All right.
	I know him.
	Well, you've got to talk to Dr. Oz.
	Lived at Akron, Ohio.
	Yes.
	Well, as you often say, everyone's got something.
	And we forget that we're all in this together.
	That's the ultimate safety net to humanity is being here for each other.
	And there's something that you've been saying that just really touched me.
	You said being vulnerable is therapeutic.
	How has that philosophy helped you in your health journey?
	Vulnerability, why do we shy away from that?
	Why do we do that?
	I know that when Hurricane Katrina hit and devastated my hometown, wiped out my hometown of Paschan, Mississippi, and I was live the next day from the Gulf Coast, and I had just joined GMA as a full-time host, and I'm there on the Gulf Coast.
	Katrina has blown through.
	And I cried.
	I actually, on live television, I couldn't hold it in.
	I had just found my mother an hour before getting on the air.
	I hadn't even known up until that time that she was alive.
	And I wasn't going to go on the air until I did.
	But the fact that I cried and I thought that I was going to lose my job, and just the opposite happened.
	People were like, thank you.
	Thank you for just being genuine.
	And it's not weakness to be vulnerable.
	It is not a weakness.
	Vulnerability.
	It's so funny you had that experience.
	Not funny, ironic.
	Because I was in New Orleans.
	Oprah had sent me down.
	And I got to.
	Oh, look how he dropped that name.
	No.
	You saw that.
	I know.
	And she wanted me to tape for her show.
	And she went, as you know, to a different part in the aftermath.
	And I wasn't as doctory as I was supposed to be.
	Because you couldn't look at what had happened to that beautiful city that I had visited many times, dead bodies in the street, floods above the bars you'd had parties in, without really feeling it.
	And not holding that in actually, in many ways, opened my eyes to the reality that as doctors, we sometimes need to be vulnerable because our patients are comfortable telling the truth.
	It goes through, and I'm glad you said that.
	I mean, it doesn't matter if you're a journalist, if you're a doctor, what walk of life, that vulnerability is something that we all should understand, respect, and embrace.
	We're hardwired for.
	Yes.
	Actually, speaking of that, the quote, the wonderful philosopher, your mom.
	Oh.
	Who say, make your mess your message.
	Make your mess your message.
	What is the messenger?
	Tell us about the message.
	Oh, my gosh.
	I remember my mom first told me that when I was diagnosed with cancer, and I was like, I don't, what is the message here?
	And it was about early detection because I found, I was triple negative, but because I had, through self-detection, found the lump.
	And I just told people that early detection, it's not a guarantee, but it just increases your chances.
	And so I got the message out there.
	But my message has been, and what I've always made my message is resiliency, to be resilient.
	I have this wonderful little placard in my dressing room.
	I often say, this too shall pass.
	It says, this too shall pass, dot, dot, dot.
	Now would be good.
	So what do you have in, you talk to everyone who's making news.
	What's big for you and GMA over the next couple of years?
	Oh my gosh, we've got the Super Bowl, baby.
	So we're, yes, we're very excited.
	Oh, look at my boys.
	Oh, I love them.
	I love them.
	We have a great day.
	You're going to teach Traehan a little bit about formations?
	Don't you start.
	But I really enjoy being with them.
	We enjoy saying good morning to America to set that tone.
	So we have the Super Bowl.
	We're going to send some super fans to the Super Bowl in Miami.
	Also, the Oscars coming up are going to be live the morning after with the Oscars again from LA.
	Do the best interviews on those.
	God bless you.
	Thank you.
	Big admirer.
	Thank you for being graceful.
	Robin Roberts.
	Do you catch it?
	Good morning, American Weekdays at 7 a.m. on ABC.
	I joked about it at the beginning, but I actually have to do this if you don't mind.
	I actually custom-made a case.
	own Robin Roberts case.
	Now, these are the LSU colors.
	Louisiana just won the college championship.
	Now, come back here.
	Here we are.
	Where's the wind blowing it?
	Yeah, where's the wind?
	Come across here.
	The wind's blowing it.
	Oh, she's a true...
	Oh!
	Thank you.
	A well-deserved cape.
	Robin Roberts!
	This is great.
	Yeah!
	Woo!
	Up next, 99 questions about CBD.
	Today we're investigating one of the biggest and most controversial claims.
	Can CBD help treat or prevent Alzheimer's?
	Are there any real brain benefits?
	Can CBD help my chronic DBD make me skinny?
	Can CBD help my artistic indigestion?
	Can my skin problems?
	Can autism help boost my antenna?
	Can CBD help me finally get a good night's sleep?
	All January long, we're investigating one of the buzziest health topics of 2020, CBD.
	We've been tracking the trend from the beginning and answering the 99 CBD questions you're just too afraid to ask.
	Today, some of the most controversial claims about CBD.
	For example, can CBD boost your brain health and improve your memory?
	An even bigger claim, can it really help prevent Alzheimer's and dementia?
	It caught my attention when I saw the headlines.
	And the promises made me really skeptical, so I wanted to investigate further.
	Could it really help someone like my mom?
	Could it slow down her progression of dementia?
	Or could it help me prevent it?
	Here to help uncover the truth is director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic in Wild Cornell Medicine.
	Dr. Richard Isaac said, good friend, let's make sure.
	CBD and Alzheimer's.
	Is it legit as a world expert in space or is it a hype?
	What does the research say?
	Well, we're all here to find out and I have no idea.
	We don't know.
	The science doesn't know.
	I'm not pro-CBD.
	I'm not anti-CBD.
	I'm pro-evidence.
	And right now, unfortunately, we just don't have enough evidence to really understand whether CBD can be helpful for the treatment of Alzheimer's, for the treatment of symptoms related to Alzheimer's, like sleep disturbances and behavioral complaints, or even in prevention.
	We just don't know.
	The hype has been so loud that the FDA has already been warning about CBD products claiming to treat Alzheimer's.
	So I've seen headlines about CBD oil and what it can do for people who already have dementia.
	What's been your experience?
	What could it do for patients?
	All right, so I've had several patients that have decided to try it on their own, and they come back after several months.
	And honestly, I guess I've seen mixed results.
	I don't think I've seen any harmful outcomes, but I've seen some people that subjectively feel better.
	I had one patient several weeks ago that said, you know, I think he's sleeping better, and he wakes up in the morning, and maybe he's more refreshed.
	I've had other patients that have taken, you know, different types of CBD, and they said, oh, he's sleeping all the time.
	So what I would say is, from my personal experience, it's just mixed results.
	So Abby's, like you, a viewer who says she's been using CBD oil to help her mom.
	Take a look.
	I am especially interested in the CBD oil for my mother's severe anxiety she is experiencing due to her dementia.
	Mom has been on CBD oil for about four months and we have seen a slight change in her anxiety and sleep patterns, but we have not seen an improvement in her dementia.
	I hear stories like that all the time.
	There's some things that got better, but not the basic dementia issue.
	So when it comes to CBD products, things that we can actually buy and give to our loved ones for dementia or Alzheimer's, where are we with the data?
	Right.
	So I like that story because it's a very realistic story.
	We tried it.
	It's a relatively safe intervention.
	As long as they talk to the doctor and the doctor approved, you know, the side effects may be limited.
	But is there going to be benefit?
	In that case, maybe some of the symptoms associated with Alzheimer's got a little bit better.
	You know, there's interesting data with CBD for sleep and there's interesting data for other aspects of brain health, anxiety, even seizures.
	There's even an FDA-approved drug version of CBD for seizures.
	But when it comes to treating the dementia, the memory, I'm a little more skeptical.
	When it comes to treating the symptoms, I would say maybe.
	All right, another big claim about CBD is that it can help improve memory or mental performance.
	Let's bring an investigative reporter, Mars, Giaba Campo, who's been investigating this.
	What kind of products did you find?
	Yeah, you know, I went online and in stores and found a wide variety of products from CBD capsules to powders that have other herbs mixed in to oil tinctures, even bottled drinks.
	And, you know, these products will make a variety of claims.
	They have a lot of buzzwords.
	They'll say things like stay sharp, boost your brain function.
	They'll even make really broad claims like optimize brain health.
	Those are the things that we're seeing.
	So you made some calls, talked to people who are selling these CBD products.
	You're the best at this investigative game.
	So what do they yield to you?
	What do they reveal to you?
	Yeah, six out of the seven stores that we called said that CBD can help you with memory function.
	Some went as far to recommend specific dosages to take.
	And what's most alarming is that some of them told us that CBD can help with the early signs and symptoms of dementia.
	See that?
	This was happening.
	I think, and I'm hearing it from my viewers over and over again.
	And I don't want to even call people liars, because who the heck knows?
	Maybe the right kind at the right time might make a difference, but we don't know enough to make those claims.
	That's alarming at six out of seven shops, bricks and mortar facilities.
	Imagine what's going on online.
	So up next, can these products help you really stay sharper?
	Or are they just hype?
	Well, we tried them to find out.
	We'll be right back.
	Jeffrey Epstein.
	Was it suicide or murder?
	The medical examiner that was inside his autopsy.
	Plus, the photos that question how he died.
	All nuance.
	That's coming up tomorrow.
	applause
	We're back investigating 99 questions about CBD.
	Can CBD help boost your brain and improve your memory?
	It's one of the biggest questions I get.
	Mars Kiabacampo is here with her three-day experiment, trying CBD brain products.
	Yeah, Dr. Alza, I really wanted to know if these products, which vary widely in dosages and ingredients, would help me focus so I could get through more of my to-do list and my tasks, especially in the afternoon when my concentration generally starts to wane.
	I'm going to test three CBD products to see how they help with things like memory, sharpness, and focus overall.
	The first is a drink, so you just drink it up.
	These are capsules I'll take them throughout the day.
	And lastly, sublingual drops.
	The first product that I'm going to try are these sublingual drops.
	Ugh, it reminds me of stuff my mom used to give me as a kid to help me go to the bathroom.
	I've been working now for about two hours straight.
	This is normally the time of day where I would want some coffee.
	I'd have a little bit of dip in energy, but I have to say, I do feel like I have been very, very focused and very calm.
	I just feel at ease.
	I don't feel frantic, not jittery.
	So I'm not sure if that is the reason, but I've had a very productive afternoon.
	It's day two, and today I'm going to drink this before I start my afternoon busy work.
	Well, it definitely tastes a lot better than that oil.
	It would be hard to taste worse than the oil.
	It really just tastes like kind of a watered down apple juice.
	So I've done nothing but procrastinate all afternoon.
	And now I'm backed up because there are certain things that I have to finish.
	So I'm going to have to kind of plow through them.
	But I will say I was not focused at all this afternoon.
	It's day three.
	Last up, capsules.
	The instructions say take one to three daily.
	I'm going to take three.
	Again, I'm taking it before, doing the same tasks.
	Computer work, emails, the boring stuff.
	Those capsules absolutely have had a calming effect on me and they I actually realized that I'm rushing to do a lot of things that don't need to be done today.
	I'm not facing any hard deadlines today.
	So I just cut my to-do list in half.
	Now that may not be the most productive thing, but it does feel really good for me.
	Dr. Gerard's joining us as well.
	Mark, great three-day experiment.
	What surprised you the most when you're looking at CBD?
	Yeah, what surprises me is that I really do feel an effect.
	I've now tested several products over the years, and I really do believe that they work.
	But for me, the overwhelming effect has been to be relaxed, but it doesn't help me be more productive.
	I really felt like I wasn't getting as much done.
	Dr. Isaac said, you discussed dementia, Alzheimer's, not so sure about that as CBD.
	But what about this issue of focus and concentration?
	There's been a variety of studies that have looked at CBD and mental focus and mental clarity.
	And I think just like your experiment, different types of CBD, different ways to drink it, different doses may really yield different effects.
	It also may depend on whether you take it during the morning or during the evening.
	So I think the data is a little bit unclear, but I think there's some promise for it.
	You've had personal experience, Dr. Isaac, so yeah, so I, not for prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
	I do have family members that have it, but I've actually used CBD myself for headaches.
	I have pretty severe headaches, and I actually am on specific FDA-approved drugs and other treatments.
	But I talked to my doctor, and I said, hey, what do you think about CBD?
	And I decided to try it myself.
	Just like you, I tried the drink, and I tried the pills, and I tried the gummies, and I literally tried one of each.
	And honestly, it took about 10 or 12 different tries until I found one type that I can take right before bed so I don't have any of the woozy or sedative side effects.
	And I wake up in the morning and the next day I'm a little bit less likely to have a headache, but if I do have a headache, maybe the pain is a little bit lower.
	But what you just articulated is so critical for all of us to understand.
	It might work for you if you find the right one.
	You had a question, an important question that links CBD and marijuana maybe.
	Yeah, you know, Dr. Isaacson, some studies suggest that marijuana could have a negative effect on long and short-term memory.
	Should we worry about this with CBD?
	This is a great question, and it's important that when we ingest CBD, oftentimes in the products that you tested, there may be CBD, but there may be other compounds.
	For example, there may be low levels of THC or tetrahydrocannabinol.
	THC is the stuff that makes the psychoactive effects and makes you feel different.
	In marijuana.
	In marijuana, exactly.
	So really, depending on the product, I think the devil is in the details.
	Like Dr. Roz said, some people may need a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
	It's the combination, the dose, the timing, and some people, it's probably not going to work at all.
	Bottom line, there's no good evidence right now for CBD and brain health, but I do see opportunities on the horizon, whether it's for treating Alzheimer's, dementia, improving memory.
	We're going to track the latest research for you, and we'll continue to bring you updates.
	Next week in our CBD series, can CBD help melt away stress and anxiety?
	That is probably the single biggest question I'm getting these days.
	We're revealing what we've uncovered from a coast-to-coast survey, and test results are going to be there that they might surprise you.
	So tune in next Wednesday.
	If you have a burning CBD question, go to my website and submit it.
	We'll be right back.
	Coming up on the dish on Oz, I've got these two chefs to confess to get this, use this microwave.
	Okay, wait a second.
	Just because I'm a food expert does not mean I'm always fancy.
	That's right, we're going to reveal the secret way chefs use microwaves to make our cooking easier, but just as yummy.
	If there's one thing that brings us all together, it's food.
	So we're calling everyone to the table to ditch on everything.
	From the latest food hacks and trends to everyday recipes you can make for dinner tonight.
	It's simple, it's celebratory, and most of all, it's about having a great time in the kitchen.
	I'm trying to help.
	Let ditch.
	Welcome back to Dishonores Crews here today, and I asked Gail and Daphne a big challenge.
	Here's the deal.
	Could they tap their amazing culinary skills and think inside the box, like the microwave box, right?
	So what are you dishing up, Dapne?
	Well, today, you guys, we are making sure that the microwave is not just for dorm rooms or reheating leftovers anymore.
	Gail and I have put our collective culinary wisdom together, and today we are sharing the chef's secrets to microwave your way to quick and easy meals.
	I'm gonna hold on tight.
	Cheers to that.
	Cheers to that.
	We are making, get this, you guys, a lightened up spaghetti carbonara with bacon.
	Not skimping on the bacon.
	And to go with that, we are gonna make some yummy roasted garlic bread.
	And by the way, shaving literal hours off of your cook time here.
	And then a chocolate brownie mug cake.
	You are going to love.
	Hallelujah.
	I hate it.
	I love this.
	It's like a magic trick in the kitchen.
	And it's really fun for kids to watch.
	If you have a doctor in the house who wants to then explain the science of how it all works, it's really cool.
	But anyway, my kids, I think it's really fun too.
	Let's start with the main course.
	I'm going to show you guys how to make a spaghetti squash dinner with a lightened up carbonara sauce.
	It's all made in the microwave.
	And it's just something fun.
	I use a lot of spaghetti squash in my cooking at home because, you know, the sauce is what counts.
	And spaghetti squash is an incredible stand-in if you're looking to cut carbs or you want to swap out your pasta.
	So spaghetti squash obviously shows up at the grocery store looking like this.
	You just slice it in half and then I'm going to scoop out the seeds here.
	So I'm just going to add a little olive oil here.
	Gail, if you'll grab this guy and just rub him down with that olive oil and a little salt.
	Thank you very much.
	And then I'm just going to put it cut side down into a dish like so.
	We can do one at a time where we can squeeze them into the hot tub.
	Come on guys, share the hot tub.
	Okay.
	And all you want to do is put about an inch of water, tap water, up on top of the squash so that you actually are going to help steam it from the microwave.
	So I have about that inch of water in there.
	It really is a squash.
	It's a squash spa.
	A squash spa.
	And by the way, guys, 15 minutes in your microwave and out it comes.
	Show me what you're working with, Gail.
	Oh yeah.
	There you go.
	Check this out.
	And it comes out, so you can tell it's done.
	Look, it's nice and, you know, it doesn't resist your touch like that.
	Comes out looking like so.
	And we each have one on our plates.
	I'm going to show you how to scrape and pull apart.
	But obviously, the Carbonara sauce needs to happen next.
	I've got four egg yolks here.
	And this is, you know, you can see it's sort of the traditional sauce here.
	I've got a nice amount of pecorino or parmesan, whichever you like.
	Then I've got a little pinch of pepper.
	And then, because I promised you guys bacon in this dish, I saved a little bacon fat for you.
	Right there.
	You're good to us.
	Just a little bit to give it some of that fatty.
	I thought that was olive oil.
	How mistaken I was.
	Smell it.
	No, it's bacon.
	That's for sure bacon.
	Okay, I gave you guys each some here.
	Now here's how fun this is to give everyone their own portion.
	Okay, so grab some first, grab about half of this sauce, and that's just what I made right there, that egg yolk mixture with the cheese.
	And then use your fork and just pull up those strands down from the skin, okay?
	Give that a little toss around right onto your plate.
	And of course, grab some crispy bacon.
	Give that a little topping here.
	What are you doing?
	What are you doing?
	You don't even need the bacon.
	We always need the bacon.
	You don't even need it.
	And give that a quick taste.
	Let's see.
	Let's season if we need to.
	Let's grab a little bit.
	It actually, the texture is so reminiscent of real pasta.
	But of course, it's low carb, low glycemic.
	You can do it on keto.
	You can have a fantastic time.
	All right.
	So it's time to tally up how much we saved in time with the microwave, right?
	Are you ready for the recipe?
	The dish took 15 minutes to cook using the microwave.
	In the oven, it would have taken 40 minutes.
	Time's that, 25 minutes.
	Now here's the thing, that's not the only time we're saving.
	You're not going to believe this next chef microwave secret.
	You can roast garlic in the microwave.
	Gail, give us the details on how to roast this garlic.
	So everyone knows you can roast garlic in the oven, right?
	You just roast it, you slice it in half, roast it in foil if you want.
	I'm going to do the most amazing microwave check.
	So you take a full head of garlic and you just slice it in half, sort of two-thirds of the way up the garlic head.
	So it looks like this.
	Put it in a bowl.
	I'm going to drizzle just a little bit of olive oil on it, a little bit of pepper, as well, some salt, and just a little bit of water in the bottom.
	That little bit of water is actually critical in both of these recipes because that's part of how the steam gets to cooking.
	Exactly.
	I'm going to cover it.
	I'm using another plate.
	I don't want to use a plastic if I can help it.
	And then I'm going to put it in the microwave right here.
	And I'm going to take out the one that I've cooked for eight or nine minutes.
	Now keep in mind, everybody's microwave is a little bit different, so you have to watch it.
	I would look at it halfway through, make sure nothing is exploding.
	Microwaves can be a bit unruly.
	They get very hot.
	So everyone's going to be a little different.
	This is about eight or nine minutes in the microwave.
	And look how brown and roasted and beautiful that is.
	They pinch them out.
	Yeah.
	Well, here you go.
	Exactly.
	Okay.
	So to make perfect roasted garlic bread, this is the greatest trick too.
	You have it and it has pulled itself away from the skin.
	So all you have to do is squeeze.
	Yes.
	And all those beautiful.
	It's actually work.
	It's exactly the same as it was in the break.
	It just looks roasted, right?
	Make sure you don't get that piece of skin.
	As you said, they pulled away.
	Yep.
	Get all those pieces out.
	And I'm just going to squeeze it into a bowl with some parsley, some soft, like room temperature butter, and then some chili flakes, a little salt and pepper.
	Mash it all up and you have ready to go roasted garlic bread.
	So as you get ready to taste this, we're going to talk about how much time we have saved roasting garlic in the microwave because it looks exactly the same as if you had actually taken it to an oven.
	Eight minutes, as you mentioned, Gail.
	Normally, you have to take it roughly about an hour to cook it in an oven.
	That's 52 minutes.
	We have zapped off this recipe with our microwave.
	How's it taste?
	Great.
	Would you like to have a little bite?
	And you can just serve this like this, kind of rustic and beautiful on the table as a perfect side dish to your Carbonara spaghetti squash or, you know, as an appetizer before the meal.
	And that garlic fresh.
	Why waste 52 minutes when it tastes exactly the same in the microwave?
	I'll toast it.
	Never going back.
	You know what?
	I'll take this app.
	Cheers.
	I'll raise you a main course, which you made also, but when we come back, we have a microwavable dessert.
	You can reach for whatever you want, something indulgent In just seconds.
	Stay with us.
	Thank you, man.
	I like that.
	Jeffrey Epstein.
	Was it suicide or murder?
	The medical examiner that was inside his autopsy, plus the photos that question how he died.
	All nuis.
	That's coming up tomorrow.
	Thank you.
	We're back with a dish on Oz and microwaves have taken over that kitchen.
	Here's the question.
	Can you really microwave dessert and make it taste great?
	Dish the details on this concoction you come up with.
	Let me tell you, the first time I saw this trick, I thought it was magic.
	The fact that you can make an ooey, gooey, delicious brownie lava mug cake that is rich.
	It's poetry.
	It's delicious.
	It takes 90 seconds.
	90 seconds on the clock.
	So here's what you do.
	The simplest thing you'll ever make, and your friends and family will think you're a genius.
	You can thank me later.
	Flour in a bowl.
	I'm going to mix in some sugar, cocoa powder, a little bit of baking powder, and just a pinch of salt, okay?
	All your dry ingredients into a bowl.
	Give it a bit of a whisk.
	So basically homemade cake mix.
	That's really easy.
	Exactly.
	Cake mix, very simple.
	I mean, no actual tricks here.
	It's just the magic of the microwave.
	I'm going to pour in some milk.
	A cup of milk.
	And you want to just pour in that vanilla.
	Oh yeah, you got.
	There you go.
	Look how clean we are.
	This guy's ready to catch it.
	I love that part of this.
	Makes it easy.
	This is the whole thing.
	Then I literally just divide this cake mix into four mugs, microwavable mugs, microwave safe mugs.
	Divide them in, and then the most beautiful part, take a little square of chocolate.
	I prefer dark chocolate.
	Of course.
	Stick it in the center of each of the mugs in the cake mix.
	This is the molten situation.
	It's going to be very satisfying later.
	Okay.
	So these are going to go in the microwave.
	If you want to grab me the finished one, 90 seconds.
	You want to cook for 30 second intervals three times until it's done.
	You'll know they're done when they have a slight jiggle, but they look like baked cake.
	Oh, wow.
	Dad, look at that.
	They're jiggling in the middle, but not on the sides.
	This is it.
	They're done.
	They're warm.
	Wow.
	I'm going to top them with a little bit of vanilla ice cream.
	Right.
	Why stop with chocolate?
	Exactly.
	It looks like hot cocoa, kind of, but the better version.
	It's definitely fries.
	Thank you very much.
	Happy bite, guys.
	Cheers, guys.
	Cheers.
	Cheers, Dad.
	Okay.
	Just give us a little taste here.
	Oh, it is ooey gooey as described.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	Full molten.
	Are you kidding?
	Chocolatey, gooey cake, and it's fully cooked.
	Oh, my gooe.
	And I love, I actually, one of my all-time favorite desserts is brownies a la mode because you get that warm brownie that starts to melt the ice cream on top of it and it just the whole thing is it's a race you have to eat it fast this is what's happening okay you guys speaking of microwaving chocolate everyone is freaking out over kim kardashian's snapchat video of she and her sister Courtney of her and her sister Courtney eating microwaved M ⁇ Ms. We didn't believe.
	We had to try for ourselves.
	I put it in for 20 seconds.
	We got ourselves a hefty portion of M ⁇ Ms, you guys.
	Wow.
	Okay, let's see if this really works.
	Give it a try.
	I'm going.
	I mean, I will eat an M ⁇ M kind of anyway.
	You give it to me, but.
	She did a good sell on it.
	I mean, it is just that nice little warm, soft center.
	It takes advantage of that candy coating so it doesn't melt everywhere.
	It stays warm on the inside.
	Personally, I'll go with a lava cake here.
	But when we come back, we have the food that rivals my love of Greek yogurt.
	He's still in my heart.
	Do I have a new love?
	Stay tuned.
	It's all happening, guys.
	Thank you.
	We're back with a dish.
	And I was asking, could anything replace my beloved, my beloved Greek yogurt, right?
	Well, there's a delicious, creamy contender that has, get this, just as much protein as Greek yogurt and even more protein than two eggs.
	Daphne, it is.
	It is our food find of the day, you guys, Daisy cottage cheese.
	Cottage cheese is making a comeback as America's go-to snack or meal because it's packed with protein, like you just said, and also because it's delicious.
	Can I say for a second?
	I got through college on cottage cheese.
	And I grew up as a little boy.
	My mom would put cottage cheese and peaches together.
	I don't know what happened to it.
	It disappeared for a while.
	Didn't this even go away?
	So today we're going to make cottage cheese breakfast bowls, giving you a kind of a new spin on how to use that cottage cheese.
	Dad, you're going to start making one over there, and then I'm going to show you a couple others that would work.
	And what I really love about Daisy Cottage Cheese, it's made with simple ingredients like cultured skim milk, cream, and salt, plus no added sugar.
	I love this.
	I love when you turn the label around and you can see exactly, you recognize the ingredients, and there's only three of them here.
	It comes in two varieties, 2% low fat or 4% regular.
	So it can be a great way to get some healthy fats into your day too.
	And what I really love about Daisy Cottage Cheese is how versatile it is.
	So you can add it to any recipe that needs some creamy protein boost, like some pancakes or even pasta sauces in some cases.
	But today I want to show you two different bowls that I'm making with 4% Daisy Cottage cheese because they're just so pretty and they're also so delicious.
	So here I'm going to show you a savory breakfast bowl.
	This one's kind of cool because people think cottage cheese, sometimes they think sweet.
	This one actually uses roasted broccoli.
	I added a layer of smoked or toasted almonds there as well.
	I love that bit of crunch.
	Then I'm going to take a wedge of lemon just to kick it up a notch with that little bit of that tangy kick.
	And I also added a little bit of chili pepper flake because I do like that bit of zing to it.
	This is a really fun lunch or dinner or snack or a savory breakfast if you like that.
	My dad is making a sweet one.
	This one I think is such a clever idea.
	Dad, tell us about this dish.
	This is cottage cheese base.
	You add some pears, some figs, toasted walnuts.
	Omega threes in there.
	Guys, look at how Instagrammable this is.
	Come on, give it a little drizzle.
	A little drizzle like this.
	This could be you.
	This could be you.
	Okay, give it a taste too.
	Let's see.
	I already know.
	You know, I gotta say, I think this year, this year, cottage cheese makes its big comeback.
	It takes over where it should be, atop the line.
	Fills your mouth, diversity.
	If you want your protein from different sources, I think it's a fantastic solution.
	So, thanks to our sponsorship partner, Daisy Cottage Cheese.
