Air Fryer Pizza Taquitos

August 2, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s the end of Summer and it’s H.O.T. HOT. I think the heat of the Summer has hit just about everyone this year. It’s been a doozy. That being said, I’m in kitchen cool down mode and trying to use my stove and oven as little as humanly possibly. So, that means it’s time to bust out the air fryer and the pressure cooker more! These are super easy to make and require very few ingredients. Plus, they only take a few minutes to cook up in the air fryer.

They come out perfectly crisp and cheesy and ready for dipping into your favorite pizza sauce. These are great all on their own as a snack or appetizer, but they’re also good on their own as a sub in for pizza night when served along with a side salad!…

Air-Fryer Homemade Pizza Rolls

June 30, 2022 Amanda Plott

Homemade pizza rolls? Uhm, yes please! When I was a kid, one of my favorite things was pizza rolls. I mean, who doesn’t like little popable bites of pizza goodness? With deciding to have a ‘snack’ food dinner this week, I thought I’d try my hand at making some pizza rolls in the air-fryer. Not just any pizza rolls though, homemade ones!

These Air-Fryer Homemade Pizza Rolls are DELISH and even better than their frozen pre-made brethren. And the best part is that you get to decide what goes into them. Today I went with pepperoni and cheese, simple enough, but you could definitely go with sausage, or any other sort of cheese or meat that you like on your pizza. Veggies are another option too!…

Baked Buratta

June 21, 2022 Amanda Plott

Let me tell you guys something. I love cheese. It is my weakness. Not ice cream, or cookies, or cake - but cheese. Glorious cheese in just about any form. Sharp, sliced, shredded, fresh, soft, hard, crumbled. Any of it. All of it. I haven’t met a cheese that I don’t like, and I’ve never tried buratta before even though I’ve always wanted to.

Buratta is a pretty cool cheese. It’s basically a creamy spreadable cheese tucked away inside a skin of fresh mozzarella. So when you cut into it, the creamy cheese oozes out and it’s so so good. I didn’t want to have it just all on it’s own, so I decided to make this Baked Buratta. The name is sort of a lie since the buratta itself isn’t baked…

Skinny Stuffed Mushrooms

April 10, 2022 Amanda Plott

I for one, love appetizers. I could make a meal alone out of small appetizers, both hot and cold. One of my favorites though, has to be stuffed mushrooms. My love of stuffed mushrooms goes back several years where I think my first try was at a little Italian restaurant.

I immediately, and without being much of a cook at the time, taught myself how to make them. Skip forward to today and I like to make them with a few minor changes to the original easy recipe that included cream cheese, bacon, and just a touch of Italian cheese. I mean, who doesn’t just love the combination of cheese, mushrooms, and bacon? You’d be crazy not to!…

Garlic Parmesan Air Fried Chickpeas

February 18, 2022 Amanda Plott

Looking for a tasty sticky-snack that’s quick and easy to make? Well, look no further. These Garlic Parmesan Air Fried Chickpeas are perfect to have on hand. They’re gluten free and vegetarian too! Plus they take hardly any effort to make and have a big bold POP of flavor. The air fryer perfectly cooks them up so that they’re just a little soft on the inside and have a crispy cheese crunch on the outside.

For these Garlic Parmesan Air Fried Chickpeas, I used my own homemade seasoning blend and some parmesan cheese. Yep, really that’s all you need to make these other than a little bit of oil. Just 4 ingredients to a healthy snack that anyone can enjoy…

Jalapeno Popper Potato Skins

January 31, 2022 Amanda Plott

Potato skins are just a lot of fun to make and eat. They’re kind of the perfect vehicle to get almost anything savory into your mouth by way of finger food - which makes them absolutely perfect for game day and tailgating! I decided to take these potato skins a step further, making them into a mix of two of my favorite football food snacks; potato skins and jalapeño poppers.

That’s right, these potato skins are loaded with jalapeño, cream cheese, bacon, and cheddar too. They’re the best of both tasty treats all put into one perfectly baked bite of cheesy goodness. I don’t know about you, but I like to use the biggest potatoes that I can find…
