- Ah, what are the hot dog buns for?
- Um, they're gonna be for our carrot dogs.
- Carrot dogs.
- I'm making this full on vegetarian meal.
Just to give them an idea of you know how they
can incorporate this into their meal plan.
Yeah, putting it on a salad.
- I think this is a joke.
Carrots in a bun.
It just doesn't match.
I'll probably never go vegan.
Oh, Lord.
I'll probably die with a T-Bone steak in my belly.
(upbeat music)
- I'm trying to be honest, but I'm not trying to be rude.
I kinda didn't like it.
(coughs)
- What's happening?
- Dinner for me was ...
I can't even describe it in words.
- Is this carrots?
- Try it, it's flavored.
- Nah, it's just that.
It's like its too.
To be honest, I should've just told Miss Sophia,
that I'm allergic to tomatoes
because I might get an allergic reason or something.
- Um, excuse me.
He is not allergic to tomatoes.
- Well, I am allergic for real.
- No you're not.
- What about you Dylan?
- I like the carrot.
And I like the salad.
- You see we got a winner.
Dylan's a winner on the table.
I haven't want to leave over with a meal so I'm
gonna have to come back and cook him another meal.
This is definitely not a meal
that this family will be making in the future, clearly.
I did not win them over.
But it's okay.
- God bless your heart.
- Dylan can come and eat at my house any day (laughs).
- Thanks to Jenna's new rules,
fussy Franklin is about to try many new vegetables
for the first time.
- I've started the cabbage.
- Have you got the sweats yet?
- I'm shaking.
Ew, man.
- You're a grown man, this is what it is.
- Man.
Wow.
- Heavenly Father, please be with Franklin tonight
as he tries new things.
- Amen.
- Here we go.
- Okay, okay.
That was not as bad as I was planning.
- Asparagus.
- Okay, all right, psych, here we go.
That is just disgusting there's no way.
(laughs)
Sweet potatoes is actually something I've never had.
Here we go.
- Here we go.
- Okay, it tastes like pumpkin pie.
- Like pumpkin pie.
- Jenna did the impossible.
She got me to try a whole lot of vegetables that
have never ever touched my mouth before.
- That was a gag.
(laughs)
- I'm proud of you.
You didn't spit it out.
- I appreciate everything, that was awesome.
- Back at the Villapando residence,
macho husband Tombstone,
must continue to follow Kiera's new rules.
And attempt something he's never consider
before the swap,
preparing a vegan meal for the family.
- We're cooking a vegan Salisbury steak,
macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes,
and string beans.
All right, can you do me a favor and open up
the chia seeds for me?
- Chia, what did you call 'em?
- The chia seeds, they're gonna be our egg replacement.
- How in the hell are seeds gonna replace eggs?
- It's a binding agent.
- Okay, open mind.
- Open mind (laughs).
- Happy thoughts.
- This may look weird but this is your egg replacement.
- It looks like it came out of one end of the chicken.
- (laughs).
I have never seen a plant that looked like that.
I'm not so much of a cook.
I can throw something in the microwave,
but other than that this could turn into a disaster.
- (laughs).
Well, this is fun.
- Then we're gonna put a little garlic in there.
Yah!
- How's that go again?
- Ready one, two, three, yaw!
(laughs)
All right, perfect.
- All right, so you gotta understand something
about me real quick,
my parents didn't eat anything green, nothing.
Green stuff that is the line in the sand with me.
Almost like an anxiety level fear.
So ...
It ain't my favorite thing.
- But it works, it's okay?
- I didn't spit it out.
So like normally-- - Cool.
- I mean it would be like--
- (coughs) (laughs).
- Exactly.
(laughs) Go ahead come on.
I'm worried about the mystery meat.
Like I'm not gonna like--
- It's plant based.
Try it, just try it.
- I know, I know like.
- Just try it.
- That ain't bad.
- Really?
- That tastes like meat.
- And we cooked it together.
- Like for real.
- Yay.
- I'm completely shocked.
I thought that this meal was gonna be absolutely disgusting.
And I thought that vegans miss out a lot on flavor.
I could see me eating this again.
Go ahead and take.
- I've already had some.
It's amazing.
- You had some of this?
- Yes.
- It's good.
- Amazing.
- I don't get to spend time with him like I want to.
And like I had fun.
- Did you have a good time?
Yeah, (laughs).
Me too.
- This is worth it.
- I genuinely like this meal.
It's like way eye opening to me.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- I'm already almost finished.
(laughs)
- I hope that Tombstone finally gets it.
Eating vegan, it's a lifestyle that will help him
to live longer and he can be with his family longer.
I think the way to get to Kerri
is definitely through the boys
because she loves them so much.
- So as you can tell clean plate,
full stomach.
- Yeah, ay!
- Back at the McMichael's house,
Virginia is determined to get junk food loving Kristi
and her boys to adopt a more health conscious lifestyle.
- Does your dad ever make you a smoothie?
- No, I wanna make cupcakes.
- These are goji berries.
You wanna try one?
No?
I'm feeling like this is going to be a harder sell
then I thought it would be.
Do you guys like strawberries?
- No, I don't.
- Do you like cherries?
- I don't like any of these stuff.
- These boys they're really trying to fight me on this.
- Grayson is definitely not interested.
I feel like Grant is still more malleable.
- (laughs) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I'm really hoping I can get him to taste this.
That's pretty good isn't it?
- I don't like it.
- Let's try it.
- I'm not doing it anymore.
- No.
This is stressing me out 'cause we're on a strict budget
for food.
Like we just spent all this to make this
that my kids didn't eat.
And I'm still going to have to get them something to eat.
- But I wouldn't give them anything else if it was me.
- I will never deny my kid food.
I'm not going to follow along with Virginia's plan.
It's not going to happen.
- At the Chauhan household,
Jennifer wants to ween the family of their sugar habit
by introducing them to healthier snack options.
- So we're gonna make ants on a log.
Do you guys like peanut butter?
- They cannot stand peanut butter.
- Really?
Have you tried peanut butter?
- No.
- We'll we're gonna try it.
It's a really good healthy snack for you, okay.
I hope this opens a whole new world of food and options.
Opie has never really like peanut butter.
And he is making that decision for the boys,
that oh, they won't like it either.
You don't know that.
They might.
- It's dinner time at the Lenore-Johnson Farm,
and Ruple is serving a traditional vegetarian Indian meal.
- Okay, you scared?
- No, I ain't scared.
I was in Korea for a year.
I've eaten dog, we're good.
- Okay.
- We're sitting down for a vegetarian Indian dinner.
Show me what everything is.
- Sure, that's paneer.
This is called gulab jamun.
- Okay, the house smelled like she murdered an entire
fields of onions.
Gulab jamun?
- Yeah, gulab jamun.
- I wanna eat this.
- Is it good bud?
Do you like it?
Yeah.
It's good.
Yeah, it's good.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Can I give you one more?
They're enjoying my meal and I appreciate that.
Thank you so much guys.
- All right that looks delicious.
You wanna try it?
- No.
- Why not?
- I don't eat that before.
- That's okay.
There's lots of things you haven't tried before.
Big bite.
- I don't.
- So we have a rule at my house that you have
to try five bites.
If you choose not to take that bite,
there's no other snacks until dinner time.
- Punishing kids,
making them starve,
that's definitely a little too harsh in my world.
- Okay.
- He doesn't like it.
- I don't want it.
- Take a bite.
- I don't want it.
- If you're hungry five minutes from now
this is what your snack is.
