I found another situation where the air fryer comes in super handy… roasted garlic! I love roasted garlic, but then again, who doesn’t? Once roasted, garlic becomes sweet and mellow, perfect for cooking, making dips, using as a spread, or just eating as a snack. Despite my adoration for roasted garlic, I rarely made it…

Air Fryer Butternut Squash Tempura
Continuing my air fryer experimentation. Tempura is a favorite treat of mine, but I rarely deep fry at home because it requires a lot of oil and effort. The beauty of the air fryer is there’s no vat of oil and you set it and forget it. The only thing with tempura is it’s a…
Air-Fried Parmesan Zucchini Sticks
I have a friend who works for a cheese company (I know, lucky me!). He came over for a dinner party one day and left me with a huge amount of fantastic parmesan cheese. I figured I better find ways to use it before it went bad. Not a bad problem to have, right? I…
Pantry Chilaquiles
Whether for breakfast or dinner, these chilaquiles are great because they are made from items I’ve almost always got in my pantry and fridge (except for maybe avocados, which are an optional topping). You can use store-bought tortilla chips, or use an air fryer to make your own. Guessipe 28 oz can diced tomatoes 2…
Air-Fried Tortilla Chips
I’ve been experimenting with the air fryer, and while I wouldn’t agree with my boyfriend that it can be used to cook everything, I have found that for some things it’s pretty great. One of those things is making tortilla chips if you just need a single portion. This Guessipe gives you a foundation on…
Cashew Cream Pasta
My friend showed me how to make this amazing creamy pasta that actually uses cashews instead of cream! I make it all the time simply because it’s so delicious and easy, but as a bonus for some people it’s vegan if you use nutritional yeast seasoning. For those weeknights when you just need to cook…
Candied Kumquat Cremeux
I occasionally get a load of kumquats from a neighbor and enjoy just popping them whole into my mouth as a snack. But one day shortly after receiving a bag of kumquats, I needed to make a dessert for a dinner party. Hunting around in the fridge, I came upon the kumquats and some heavy…
Coke Float Pie
It’s March 14, and that means… Pi(e) Day! I’m back to my drink-themed pies again, with a pie inspired by the flavors of a Coke Float. I prefer Coke over Root Beer, but you can go with whatever your heart desires. Guessipe 1 pie crust 2 cans Coke 1/4 cup whole milk 1 3.4-oz package…
Banchan – Sesame Broccoli
Let’s do another Banchan, because with Banchan the more the merrier! Part of the fun of Korean food is the collection of little side dishes that make for a beautiful spread on the table. In case you haven’t already noticed, the crunch of Banchan is a big draw for me and a large part of…
Banchan – Radish Kimchi
A Banchan collection isn’t complete without what is probably the best known of all the Banchan – kimchi! While you can make Kimchi using a variety of different vegetables, cabbage is the most common. But of all the kimchi my favorite is Radish Kimchi. I can’t get enough of the firm crunch of the radish,…
Banchan – Korean Bean Sprouts
Another Banchan that I really like is these Korean Bean Sprouts. Bean Sprouts are so inexpensive and they have such a nice pop when you bite into them, which I feel somehow gets enhanced when you cook them. Bean sprouts are an underutilized vegetable in my opinion. This is one great way to use them….
Banchan – Sesame Bok Choy
Continuing my Banchan series… this dish is more commonly made with spinach (which is good too), but I like the extra crunch of Sesame Bok Choy. The combination of sesame oil and sesame seeds really brings out the sesame flavor I love. Guessipe 8 baby boy choy, separated into individual leaves marinade 3 green onions,…
