I was gifted a few cookbooks the other day and I immediately set out to cook something from inside of them. A few things in an air-fryer centric cookbook caught my eye and almost all of them were wontons/potstickers. I have long been cooking wontons in my air fryer (my favorite are the Bibigo chicken… Continue reading Sausage & Pepper Wontons

Cheese Tot Skewers
If there's one thing I like about certain recipes, it's how easy they are to make. Nothing beats making a four-course meal in 30 minutes. It's a thrill making dozens of appetizers for a crowd when it take less effort than putting on clothes. Easy recipes are my favorite. It's even better when a recipe… Continue reading Cheese Tot Skewers
Prairie Fire Dip
Anyone else completely exhausted after the Fourth of July weekend? I spent way too much time outside in the sun. I only have a few tiny sunburns where I didn't put sunscreen on all that well, but all that time spent outside wore me out. Hopefully your Fourth of July weekend was just as fun… Continue reading Prairie Fire Dip
Spicy Tuna Wraps
I can't remember the last time I had sushi. It's probably been a year or more, and even longer since I've been inside a sushi restaurant. I used to grab a rainbow roll every so often from the sushi section at my grocery store when I lived in southwestern OKC. It was good, but not… Continue reading Spicy Tuna Wraps
Hummus Ranch Veggie Wrap
The air is brisk. The salt trucks are driving up and down my street. The heater is working overdrive right now. I half-considered not unraveling myself out of my bedroom blankets this morning. Winter is here and it sucks. I haven't been outside in days. I haven't seen the sun in days. The temperature hasn't… Continue reading Hummus Ranch Veggie Wrap
Garlic Parmesan Edamame
I'm not really sure how to eat edamame. I typically use shelled edamame in my cooking. I love stirring it into stir-fries and rice. But whole edamame? It's a mystery to me. I bought a couple of bags of the stuff the other day at the grocery store, intent on figuring out what to do… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Edamame
7-Layer Veggie Dip
The hardest thing to curb when you're on a diet is the afternoon snack cravings. You might be at work and those vending machines start calling your name. If you're work from home, that lingering back of potato chips on top of your fridge might start beckoning you with its silent whisper. Heck, sometimes you… Continue reading 7-Layer Veggie Dip
Pimiento Cheese Poppers
Hot summer days call for a sandwich lunch and a tall glass of lemonade. Cucumber sandwiches, tomato, turkey clubs, tuna or egg salad...any sandwich your heart desires. I could eat a sandwich every day from June through August. Another classic summertime sandwich: pimiento cheese. You can find the orangey cheese spread in multiple places at… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese Poppers
Quarantine Cuisine: 20 Recipes for a Memorial Day in Lockdown
Let's face it: this Memorial Day weekend will not be like any we've had before. Sure, it's the first signal of summer, but kids have been home for the last 3 months. Summer seems like it started in March this year because of the pandemic. Not only that, but you can rule out any large… Continue reading Quarantine Cuisine: 20 Recipes for a Memorial Day in Lockdown
Thai Veggie Wraps
Since I only go to the grocery store once a month now, I have to eat all of my fresh veggies and fruits within the first two weeks. That leaves the last two weeks with just protein and pantry staples---a time when my craving for veggies intensifies. When I went grocery shopping this last week… Continue reading Thai Veggie Wraps
