From time to time I like to venture out & try different things in my Ninja Foodi. Sometimes they work sometimes they don’t go according to plan.My Foodi does pressure cooking as well as air frying. I have the 6.5 quart one, as it doesn’t take up so much counter space, & does a great job of cooking things for 1-3 people, but usually just … Continue reading Ninja potato or “how to air fry your bakers”
Well, cauliflowers anyhow. These actually taste alright. But don’t open your food truck based on that till you try one or two. They still taste like cauliflower, just not as much like them, well, when dressed well with a Buffalo wing sauce they don’t. Even the plain version isn’t bad. This, like all of my recipes, can actually be made at home. I sifted through … Continue reading Buffalo Flowers
No, I said wontons. My third entry into the fair food will be wontons. Bacon double cheese, burger. The wonton wrapper adds a crisp crunch to this. I made them three ways. Pillows, rolls, & ravioli style. For speed, ravioli wins out. For popper ability, pillows are great. Rolls are a bit harder to make, but dip very, very well. Anyhow this will use up … Continue reading Bacon, Double cheese, burger wontons

Yeah, I’m free, free flowing. . . oops, that’s not the song. No, don’t worry, the additive really isn’t rice. I don’t like that in my shakers either. It has been a helper to many, many kitchen over the years, but this isn’t it. Free flowing seasoned salt, or any salt for that matter is convenient, more than anything else. Often, you can shake up … Continue reading Non- Chemical Free Flowing Additive
Not quite along the lines of a how to cooking recipe but certainly something you can throw together easily enough that I’d like to share. I wanted something different than the “Necco” conversation hearts. Time stamp: I also hear that the company which bought them, is having another issue this year making them. Anyhow. I wanted to try out cookie flooding as well as edible … Continue reading Conversation Heart Cookies
I was thinking about combining Peanut Butter with jelly in a cookie, for a little bit. I’m sure it has been done, everything has; here is my spin on it. I wanted easy, because who really has time to bake? All of the time? I will confess, & I do so in this blog, I am not a baker. So you may snicker a bit … Continue reading PB& J Cookies

Sugar crystals are extracted from the syrup, and … Continue reading Handmade Brown Sugar

Careful these are … Continue reading Apples & Onions Grilled Cheese Sandwich
