- Hey y'all in the south,

the holidays are such a busy time.

Luckily they're a few weeks away

and I have a few tricks up my sleeve

to save me time later this holiday season.

We're gonna make cheese straws

that make perfect hostess gifts,

the best ever chocolate chip cookies

that are perfect for santa,

and I'm gonna share with you my family's secret recipe

for lasagna that we eat every year on Christmas Eve.

Let's get cookin' and start savin' time for the holidays.

(electric guitar strum)

My family eats lasagna every year for Christmas Eve.

I'm gonna go ahead and get a headstart

on the recipe for this year.

For my lasagna, I have some pre-shredded mozzarella cheese,

but I also have some sliced mozzarella.

It's a food styling trick that is perfect

to make your lasagna look super cheesy

and then, like any good lasagna,

a hefty amount of shredded Parmesan cheese.

We make lasagna every year on Christmas Eve,

because my dad grew up eating it

every year on Christmas Eve.

He learned the recipe from his grandmother

who's from Montreal, Canada, and goes by Memay.

My Memay taught my dad the chant that said:

meat sauce, cottage cheese, cheese, noodles.

So, there's kind of a debate in my family

that my dad did not hear that chant right

and we think that whenever she was saying the recipe,

she was really saying ricotta cheese

and I think, even though my dad got it wrong whenever

he decided that cottage cheese was part of the recipe,

that actually it made this lasagna super yummy.

So to follow along with my Memay's chant,

we've got meat sauce, cottage,

and ricotta cheese, then the regular cheese.

We have the slices,

just kind of tear them in big pieces.

Once I get enough sliced mozzarella on there,

I'm gonna sprinkle it with some Parmesan cheese.

So, meat sauce, cottage cheese,

ricotta cheese, regular cheese, and now noodles.

We like the boiled noodles with their ridges the best

and we like to parboil them just enough

so that they are kind of pliable

because they're gonna cook a lot

whenever they're in the oven.

I like my lasagna to be three layers.

So three layers of everything.

With another really cheesy layer

on the top to make it really pretty.

It's really important that the top layer

of lasagna is extra, extra cheesy

so that it bubbles up and gets brown and puts

a crust of cheese that's melty

and good whenever you cut into it.

Even though we normally only make lasagna on Christmas Eve,

I'm excited to have this one ready to go

when I'm busier later this holiday season.

(upbeat bells)

Y'all, cheese straws are perfect

for making ahead for the holidays

because they make great hostess gifts.

I'm gonna grab my baked cheese straws

out of the freezer and show you how to make

a simple, quick, and easy hostess gift.

The reason I love cheese straws for hostess gifts

is because they're quintessentially southern

and so easy to whip up.

When I know I'm about 30 minutes out

for leaving for my Christmas party,

I go in the freezer, pull out my cheese straws,

and get my craft paper out.

I'll grab 10 or so cheese straws

and one of my cute little Dollar Tree ornaments.

It really is the thought that counts

and not the money that goes into these hostess gifts

and I think I really only spent

about 50 cents on this thing.

The hostess would never know,

and look how cute these are.

When I'm hosting my own Christmas parties,

I like to mix and match the

ways that I wrap the favor gifts.

So I'll mix some in with the brown,

and then have the clear bags.

Y'all this took me less than a minute, and it's super cute.

These are perfect for giving away

as favors or as hostess gifts.

(jazzy drums)

These chocolate chip cookies are seriously

the best chocolate chip cookies

you will ever eat, y'all.

It is not an oatmeal cookie,

but it is a chocolate chip cookie with oats.

There is a big difference.

I'm gonna add brown sugar to my butter.

It's important whenever you're baking

cookies, or cakes, or dessert

to cream your softened butter with your sugar

before you add any of the rest of your ingredients.

Y'all this KitchenAid mixer has

been with me for almost 10 years.

It's my favorite Christmas gift by far,

or maybe close tie with the golf cart

that I got when I was eight.

Y'all that thing taught me to drive.

But this is probably the Christmas gift

that has been with me the longest

and gotten me through a lot of times.

In a small house like this, y'all,

it's really style and functionality.

I built this wall so I could keep my

dry ingredients like flour and quick cooking oats.

It's decorative but it's also super functional.

Santa, if you're watching, the recipe

for these chocolate chip cookies that

you're gonna be eating at my house

are on our website at southernliving.com

With my mixer going on low speed,

I'm gonna put my flour in gradually,

you don't wanna over mix this because

you're gonna mix it again when

you add your chocolate chips.

Another secret to these chocolate chip cookies, y'all,

is the mixture of two types of chocolate.

This is about 12 ounces of bittersweet chocolate,

but I also like to put in the semisweet.

So, mixture of bittersweet and semisweet.

I think this is the perfect balance

for the perfect chocolate chip cookie.

One final stir for my chocolate chips,

(mixer whirring)

and y'all, that's it.

Get in here and see how the chocolate chips

are perfectly distributed throughout this soft dough.

We're gonna scoop these out,

and put them on a baking sheet,

and freeze the balls of dough in the freezer

until they're rock solid.

When you're forming your balls for your cookies,

you need to make them a little bit

larger than you would normally think.

Put them in the freezer,

pop 'em out whenever you need a cookie fix

during the busy holiday season.

(slow folky music)

Y'all today has been a busy day

getting ready for the holidays,

but I've got a lot of great things in the freezer,

ready to pull out for anytime.

I went ahead and snuck a cookie,

that I'm gonna enjoy now that I can relax,

and know that my holidays are gonna be a breeze.

Bye y'all

(folky music)

From Rock-Bottom Drug Addict to High-Flying Fitness Star | Jay Maryniak - Duration: 6:50.

My life just went down

a crazy path, and

I chose

that life over

every person that I cared

about,

everything that meant anything

in my life. And I took that, like,

fast track to

this dark bottom

where I felt like there was

no way out and there was no

hope for me.

I grew up in Northern

Westchester.

I grew up in a very suburban

town.

I played sports as a kid.

I played everything: football,

baseball.

You know, I was a gamer. You

know what I mean. Like most kids,

you know, I played video games.

And as I got a little older,

I started getting into trouble.

And by the time I was nine

years old I was stealing

cigarettes from my grandmother.

As a young kid I was already

kind of going down a bad

path.

Amidst getting into trouble I

still stuck with the sports, and

probably until I was about 13

years old.

And that's when

I started to drink

and get high.

That was the thing that I

wanted to do most.

By the time I was 14

I quit every sport that I

played.

By the time I was 15

years old I was already

taking OxyContin.

Getting high every day,

taking acid,

snorting a plethora of

different substances, and

just getting blackout drunk.

By the time I was 20 I was

completely unable

to hold a job anymore.

I couldn't work,

stealing from my family and

friends,

selling drugs,

just so I could just keep

getting high.

Drugs and alcohol completely

took over my life.

There was no more having fun

getting high and enjoying life.

That didn't exist.

I reached a point where I truly

didn't care if I lived or died.

By the grace of God, you know,

I had a moment of clarity.

There were so many times where

I was like, "How?

How did I get this deep?

Selling drugs,

hanging out with people who

were carrying guns and tons

of money around;

how did my life become this?"

And that's when I was like,

"Man I can't do this".

But, it had such a hold over

me I couldn't stop.

So at about 20 and a half years

old I reached out for help.

And I reached out to my father

and I told him I'm going to

die. I need help.

He helped me get into a

facility where I could get some

treatment.

I got into a 12-step program.

You know, kind of started my

recovery.

And I still, at that

point,

I didn't feel like I had any

purpose.

So here I was, sober,

but I still had all

these things wrong with me.

I still felt like I had this

big hole in me that I

needed to fill.

I was always an athlete growing

up as a kid,

so one of the first things I

did was I got into martial

arts. I was like,

"Yeah that would be cool" and

so I got big into

that.

And as time went on with the

martial arts training,

while I was training for a

fight, I was introduced to

Crossfit and started

doing crossfit.

I got into some competitions

and that kind of thing. Just

like small competitions.

And I'd place pretty high at a

bunch of competitions but I

just wasn't winning.

And I remember,

just being so determined

driven. I was like, "I have to

win something man,

I have to".

And I started training for this

small in-house competition.

I went to the competition,

some fierce dudes in there,

and I won.

I won and I remember just being

so happy.

"I did it man.

I really laid it out on the

line." At the same

time I remember, I remember

looking around after that

competition, I remember feeling

so weird.

Fast forward two weeks,

I remember I kept stepping on

the scale.

And the scale kept going down,

and down, and down.

I lost, like, 15 pounds.

And I remember being face-to-

face with my girlfriend at the

time, and she looked at me and

was like, "You look really

skinny".

My vision started to get really

blurry.

I was becoming disoriented and

I felt like I was under water.

I felt like I was kind of

drunk.

I don't know how I even drove

myself to the hospital, but I

went.

They tested my blood sugar and

my blood sugars were so high

they could not even read them on a

meter.

So my blood sugars were over

1000.

Within

two minutes, my life

completely changed.

And I was diagnosed with Type 1

diabetes.

I remember sitting there

in the hospital bed.

None of my family had arrived

yet. It was just me strapped up

to an insulin drip and just

being like,

"Oh my God.

This is going to completely

change my life.

What is going to happen?"

All these different things, I

knew it was a very serious life-

threatening disease.

So, of course I was scared.

I had doubts like,

"I'm not going to be the same.

I'm not going to be able to do

all the things I want to do in

life," and all this stuff. And I

realized that this is something

that I can really embrace,

and, being someone who's already

fit,

really potentially inspire

other diabetics or other people

to take their hardships,

man, and wear them like a badge.

I still have days where I have

anxiety and fear and

I feel off, man, and all that

stuff. I still have that stuff

man, I'm so human.

But I can honestly tell you

that I have not had a bad day,

it's got to be like eight

years, because my perspective

on life has completely changed.

Because I choose not to look at

life that way anymore.

I think one of the things, like,

my philosophy on training, is

to be good at everything.

So I don't want to just do

crossfit or just be a

bodybuilder;

I want do some powerlifting and

do a backflip, and then a

triple-clap push-up, then jump

50 inches in the air.

That just excites me.

Like, it's just, it's cool, man.

I just want to be

the strongest that I can

possibly be.

I want to be the fastest.

I want to jump the highest I

possibly can.

All this stuff, yoga, all of

this, all the stuff is awesome.

You know, we can take something

from all of it. So, like, for me,

training style, like, I

do everything, man.

I am so driven just to

be better, man,

to keep helping other people.

Sometimes I need to just chill

out because I'm just, like,

going, going, going.

Cause I'm, like, fired up, man.

Like, fired up in life.

I was so beaten down

as a kid, with the drugs and

alcohol, and feeling like I just

wanted to die and like I had no

purpose. To be the man I am

today,

and to be able to share and

inspire people all over the

world, is

incredible man.
