Air Fryer Potato Chips

January 28, 2020 Amanda Plott

So, the air fryer has quickly become one of the most used gadgets in my kitchen lately. It’s not only a time saver when it comes to crispy-crunchy bites that I normally bake, but it’s also fun to play with and tends to get my usual faux fried things even more of the faux fried texture and taste!

These Air Fryer Potato Chips are no different. They’re made with just THREE ingredients and all of 30 minutes of cook time. The best part is that they are SO much better for you than the ones you buy at the store. Why? No preservatives and like I said… THREE ingredients. You can’t beat that!…

I’ve been wanting to make some donuts again for a good long while now, and while the day ahead is going to be crazy busy - I took the time this morning to whip up these delicious Baked Strawberry Donuts! To really back in the strawberry goodness, I took out all the stops. The cake part of the donut has a homemade strawberry puree mixed right in. And the frosting? Ooooh… the frosting.

The frosting is made with freeze-dried strawberries and is LOADED with strawberry flavor. The secret is in the dried strawberries, I swear! I decided to finish the donuts off with some sweet little heart shaped sprinkles annnd… as you can see, they’re pretty damn cute!…

Whole Wheat Blueberry Sheet Pancakes

Feeding a crowd in the morning can be… tricky. Especially if everyone is wanting pancakes. While pancakes are a staple breakfast food, they aren’t exactly ideal when it comes to feeding a family when you wall want to sit down and enjoy a meal together. That’s where these Whole Wheat Blueberry Sheet Pancakes come in!

Sheet pancakes are super simple to make, and the best part is that everyone can enjoy them fresh, warm, and at the same time together. Never mind that pancakes bake themselves and you don’t have to hover over the stove for nearly an hour just to make sure you don’t under or over cook each pancake…

Skinny Chunky Monkey Cookies

If you’re a fan of ice cream then obviously you’ll understand the name of this cookie. I based these sweet little bites off of one of my most favorite ice cream flavors. Chunky Monkey! Just like the name states, these cookies banana based cookies are… well… chunky! How? They’re loaded up with dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.

The best part? These cookies are guilt-free enough that they could even work as a breakfast cookie. Seriously. Pair one with some fruit and you have a fun and tasty cookie for breakfast! Even better, they’re vegetarian and egg-free. ..

Air Fryer Breakfast Taquito

January 8, 2020 Amanda Plott

Sometimes you just need a nice warm breakfast to get you going in the morning, and recently since I’ve fallen in love with lavash bread, I decided to try my hand at using the lavash to make a breakfast taquito! Being as I tend to be a lot more of a savory breakfast person, rather than a sweet breakfast person, breakfast taquitos are pretty much my jam.

Normally breakfast taquitos are made with flour tortillas, but the lavash bread gives me a lot more bang for my buck, if you know what I mean. (It’s fewer calories and whole wheat!) Even though it’s still pretty chilly outside in the mornings, I figured the air fryer would be a quicker and easier way to get my breakfast taquito hot all the way through…

Unicorn Banana Bread

Usually, banana bread is banana bread is banana bread. But, being as I intend to make food a whole hell of a lot more fun and exciting this year, I decided to do what any mother does best. Add rainbows to the mix! This colorful twist on banana bread has lovingly been dubbed as Unicorn Banana Bread and it’s pretty easy to see why.

If you love banana bread, you’ll also love this Unicorn Banana Bread. Other than a few healthy swaps and the sprinkles added into the mix, this is a pretty standard banana bread. Lots of bananas, lots of whole wheat, and lots of color…
