As a kid, I had a bad habit of finding something I liked and then eating it constantly until I never wanted to look at it again. Among many other things, I did that with corn dogs and, finally, I am ready to enjoy them again! These crispy, homemade mini corn dogs in the air fryer are just as tasty as the frozen ones you can buy from the store. I don’t love buying pre-made food like frozen corn dogs because you don’t know exactly how they make them and what’s going into them. Plus, it’s much mor

This teriyaki salmon in the air fryer is one of the easiest and tastiest air fryer meals I’ve ever made. I marinated the salmon while I was walking the dog, cooked the salmon when I got home and heated up the sauce and presto — dinner! Salmon is one of those foods I don’t buy too often because it isn’t cheap, but it’s a real treat when I do eat it. I used frozen salmon that I thawed ahead of time for this recipe, but if you want to use fresh salmon that’s even better! If you’re using frozen, ma

If you’re looking for a recipe that will blow the socks off any guest, then these challah buns are it! They’re look so intricate and beautiful, but they’re not as hard as they may seem. Plus they’re delicious! I’ve made these several times now and they never fail to get compliments. These challah buns are perfect for sandwiches as well as dinner rolls for any meal. Or, if you’re me, you may just eat them on their own (they’re that good). The ingredient that takes these buns to a whole new level

Ever since I was a kid, I was a big fan of gingerbread loaves rather than gingerbread cookies. We used to buy them from the grocery store and I could simply not get enough of them. Sadly, the gingerbread loaf is not very common and most people opt to make gingerbread cookies. Then, when I was living in Germany, I noticed an abundance of gingerbread loaves at the Christmas market and I was thrilled. In an attempt to recreate the magic of a German Christmas market during a pandemic when I’m neith

When I lived in Berlin there was this stir fry place near my office that I was completely obsessed with. I spent a good amount of money there over the months and the shrimp yaki udon was one of my favorite stir fries. While I had some delicious noodle dishes in Japan, it’s this Berlin version that really sticks with me. I had a real hankering for it the other day so I decided I’d try to recreate it and I was not disappointed. Yaki just means a stir fry. A literal translation is more like ‘heat’

When I visited Japan, one thing I knew I would never forget was tuna onigiri. Truthfully, I had never heard of onigiri until I visited Japan and I probably ate like 100 while I was there. Ok, maybe not 100, but a lot! I would seek them out in every shop we were in because they were the perfect on-the-go snack. Not to mention, they were pretty cheap and if I can save a few bucks here and there, I’ll do it. Tuna onigiri are my favorite, even though there are many different fillings to choose from

This Moroccan chicken with couscous is one of my favorite dinner dishes of all time. It doesn’t require a lot of involvement, since it just simmers without intervention for 40 minutes. It’s delicious and unlike other recipes (like this butter chicken) it only uses three spices. This recipe authentically would have olives in it, but if I’m being honest with you, I hate olives. So I didn’t include them. However, you are more welcome to! If you do want to add olives you will add them along with th

I love beer-battered fish tacos and I love shrimp tacos, but I don’t like frying stuff in oil. So these air fryer shrimp tacos were born! The last thing I want to do after making and eating dinner is trying to dispose of the vat of oil from frying, so when I got my Cosori air fryer I was ready to (mostly) say goodbye to the traditional way of frying. I wanted to know if it was possible to use a beer batter method in the air fryer. You’re not supposed to use wet batters in the air fryer, but I d

I love lobster rolls, but the cost can make them prohibitive, which is why I love this imitation crab roll so much. It’s just as fresh, delicious and creamy, and perfect for a snack or lunch. This has solidly entered my lunch rotation. You can have this on the plate and ready to eat in under 10 minutes! The first time I had a lobster roll it was, appropriately, in New England and I then dreamed about them for years after. When I was recently on a trip to Pittsburgh, I saw a lot of menus that ha
