What I Bookmarked This Week
Cannot wait to try this copycat recipe for heavenly hunks!
Iโve seen this air fryer chicken everywhere, Iโm vowing to try it this month, though I might sub chicken thighs, Iโll keep you posted.
Perhaps I could get my family on board with these garlic parmesan roasted Brussels sprouts?
This hot Italian dip sounds like it would be a huge hit.
This creamy pasta salad is unlike any Iโve had, and it sounds SO good!
Have a delicious weekend!
The air fryer chicken is great โ I made it for the first time last week and we loved it. I used chicken tenders and it was much more crispy than other recipes Iโve tried. Iโm still learning how to use my air fryer. So far I love my ninja. I would recommend if youโre cooking for a family look for a double not single.ย
Happy New Year! I definitely recommend that air fryer chicken recipe. Iโve made it several times. Now I just keep the seasoning mix in a jar. Itโs easy and very tasty.ย
Michele you are so blessed to have 3 beautiful children and a good life, you dont appreciate anything until you have suffered, I have been in hospital for 3 months, my husband has left never liked the responsibility of being married. I am winging each day learning how to walk again, and do basic things, after 9 hours of AORTA BLOCK OPEN HEART SURGERY I lost my kidneys, become pernioius anemic. down to 94 pounds after 4 weeks of kidney dylisis. You never know what you have until you have lost it.
