I really love the recipe for no-knead bread and when I saw someone use this same recipe for making focaccia I had to try it! Focaccia is an olive oil-enriched flattened Italian bread. It’s crispy on the outside and the inside is airy with holes inside. The only different thing you do with this bread is flatten it out, poke holes in it, and cover it in olive oil. Focaccia Toppings Your typical focaccia toppings are usually dried or fresh rosemary and flaky sea salt but here are some other ... continue reading...
Air Fryer Bacon and Egg Toasts
Easy air fryer bacon and egg toasts are great for a weekend brunch. These toasts only require 3 ingredients and you can make them in under 10 minutes! I made these bacon and egg air fryer toasts in my Ninja Foodi Air Fryer. Ninja Foodi air fryers have 4 settings: air fry, roast, bake, and grill. Whenever I cook bacon on the air fryer setting at a really high temperature like 390 the bacon will start to smoke and sometimes the smoke detector goes off. My dogs don’t like that noise much. This ... continue reading...
Chocolate Covered Dates
These dates are stuffed with creamy peanut butter and get dipped in chocolate. Add some chopped nuts to the top or coarse sea salt for garnish. Dates stuffed with peanut butter are one of my favorite snacks lately and also one of Tiktok’s favorite snack. They're so good and make the perfect sweet/salty snack. If you don’t like the taste of plain dates you might like these chocolate-covered ones stuffed with peanut butter. Dates are very nutritious and low on the glycemic ... continue reading...
Tiktok Custard Toast
Today I tried the custard toast that is trending on Tiktok right now. Is custard toast causing avocado toast go out of style? Only time will tell. ;) I love trying the viral recipes out and sharing them on this blog. I’m also easily influenced by anything I see on social media. When the Dyson air wrap was in stock, I immediately ordered it and I have zero regrets buying that! Lululemon has always been a favorite store of mine and I see more and more females shopping there now. Yes, their ... continue reading...
Beef Stir Fry
Beef stir fry recipes are a fun way to use up leftover vegetables sitting in the fridge or pantry and the choice of protein can be endless as well. One of my goals this year is to eat a better-balanced meal. That includes having carbohydrates, protein, fiber, and fat. Stir fry recipes are great for getting all that in, in one meal. When you eat all these foods together it helps keep you fuller longer and helps prevent mindless snacking in the afternoon. Stir fry recipes are also good for low ... continue reading...
Ina Garten’s Lobster Mac and Cheese
For Valentine's Day this year, make some Lobster Mac and Cheese. It is a fancy elegant dish to make for anyone that will easily impress. Serve it with some wine and cooked asparagus or broccoli on the side. This recipe has been recently updated with new pictures on 1/12/21. Lobster Mac and Cheese and Walleye are two of my favorite meals to order at restaurants. Yes, it is expensive but lobster is something that I don’t eat every day and it’s fun to enjoy every now and then. So treat ... continue reading...
Jack Frost Cocktail
This Jack Frost Cocktail is a blended cocktail with pineapple juice, blue Curacao, vodka, and creme de coconut. My favorite place to play Bingo at (and blow all my money) had Jack Frosty cocktails. I have never had these before and I loved them. If the cocktail is blue it’s really hard to pass them up. The rim of the glass is lined with coconut flakes and the drink is blended with ice. You can make them nonblended if you like. Make this for New Year’s Eve along with some ... continue reading...
Air Fryer Crab Cakes
These delicious sweet crab cakes come out super crispy in the air fryer. Serve them with fresh lemon wedges, tartar sauce or make a creamy chipotle sauce for dipping. This recipe was recently updated on December 19th, 2021. It's still the same ingredients from the old recipe just a different picture. Does anyone else’s family serve appetizers on Christmas Eve night? Mine does and I’m usually scrambling to find something to bring at the last minute that doesn’t require a lot of ... continue reading...
