Homemade Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Pop-Tarts Our family loves pop-tarts, but unfortunately they come at a high price and a high ingredient list. With me only working 5-10 hours per week, I've been into cooking and baking more than usual. I decided to make these cinnamon sugar pop-tarts and let me tell you - I made 8 of them and they were gone in one day (I wish I was joking) - that's how good they were. We already made them a second time. The icing on top of the pop-tarts is a homemade icing as well but with only 8 ingredients, it really was a simple breakfast/dessert/snack option overall. Although we made 8 pop-tarts both the first and second time, it may be more or less depending on how thin the dough is and how big or small you want to make them.  Pop-Tarts right out of the air fryer, drizzled with homemade icing. • Difficulty Level:  Easy/Intermediate • Serving size:  Makes 8 pop-tarts  • Family friendly:  YES! My fiancé, son and I ate all of them in one day ...

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars I was looking for a dessert where I had everything I needed in my cabinets - and this was the one. Who doesn't love peanut butter and chocolate? The best part - you know exactly what is going into this recipe. These no-bake bars were fairly simple to make and, before I could even write this blog, they were all gone!  Surprisingly, the peanut butter layer is very soft, like a caramel or fudge, and since I used a salted butter, there was no need to top with salt. The chocolate layer melts in your mouth and meshes well with the salty and peanut butter tier. This dessert or snack bar is so filling but it will be so hard to have just one!  A sweet and simple freezer treat made with just a few pantry staples. • Difficulty Level:  Easy • Serving size:  Makes 8 small bars • Family friendly:  YES! They were gone within days! • Rating:  10/10 • Minimum freeze time: 4 hours 20 minutes Why You Will Love These Peanut Butter Bars With...

Buffalo Chicken Taquitos Our oven has been out of commission most of this year so we have been focused primarily on air fryer and stovetop recipes. I was craving taquitos so the family agreed on buffalo chicken taquitos. The buffalo sauce has a kick to it but it's balanced out with cream cheese and melty cheddar cheese. These taquitos are packed with flavor from the taco seasoning spices, garlic powder, black pepper, and chicken broth. It will be impossible to have just one. Crispy homemade buffalo chicken taquitos served fresh with creamy sour cream and taco sauce for dipping. • Difficulty Level:  Intermediate • Serving size:  3 • Total cook time: 9-13 minutes • Total prep time:   5 - 10 minutes • Family friendly:  YES! If we had more, they would have been gone • Rating:  10/10 •  Topping suggestions:  Add sour cream and salsa on top or use it as a dip  Why You Will Love This Chicken Taquito Recipe This recipe is truly unique.

Butter Chicken The only Indian meal I have ever made was curry. One time. Indian food is not something I'm great at, but I do have to say that this butter chicken recipe was excellent. This recipe was requested by my 14 year old son. He is taking a cooking course this semester and is learning a lot about different countries and wanted to try new foods. The sauce to this recipe was light, creamy and spicy. The chicken was a tad sweet with a thick layer of tandoori masala. The rice and bread soaked up the sauce and balanced out the ingredients perfectly.   We did not have Naan bread so we used flour tortilla pockets. A rich, creamy butter chicken served with toasted tortilla bread for the perfect comfort meal. • Difficulty Level:  Intermediate • Serving size:  For sauce - 3 servings, for the chicken - 4-5 servings • Total cook time: 30 minutes • Total prep time:  5 - 10 minutes • Family friendly:  Yes, we loved it. My son and fiancé love spice - I don't but I...

Cheeseburger Pasta I hope you love pasta because that's what my last few recipes have been. This One-Pot Cheeseburger Pasta literally tastes like a burger on top of a layer of pasta. It has all things burger - ketchup, mustard, ground beef, and cheese - and then other ingredients related to the pasta - garlic and onion powder, Worcestershire, and chicken broth. This recipe just works. The pasta is tender, the meat is perfectly cooked, and you can have a delicious burger without all the calories. Skip the hamburger bun and try this instead. This one-pan meal was chosen by my fiancé because he loves both burgers and pasta. We have burgers at least once a week so we wanted to try something a little bit different.  Hearty one-pot cheeseburger pasta packed with cheesy, saucy goodness. • Difficulty Level: Intermediate • Serving size:  4-5 • Total cook time:  25 minutes • Total prep time:  5-10 minutes • Family friendly:  Yes, we all had seconds • Rating:  10/10 •...
