I’m not one to air fry everything in the kitchen, but the technology is really cool and if you are looking make a meal in a limited amount of time, it’s a great kitchen tool. I was shocked at how my air fryer hot dogs turned out and they have since become my #1 way to make hot dogs that isn’t on the grill.

I love to cut small fingerling potatoes into slices, and then sauté them with onions, red peppers, spinach and scallions. Pour in some eggs and you have an easy, tasty meal. When you prepare the potatoes, slice them down their length. This shows off their shape and gives the frittata more heft. Make sure to slice them thinly to ensure that they cook evenly. I’ve also added ground turmeric to this frittata for its unique earthy flavor and the beautiful golden color it gives the frittata....

Few desserts look so completely unappetizing yet taste so incredibly good! One bite of this lumpy, brown mush, with a dab of vanilla ice cream, and I was sold. Scraped every last bit from the bowl. Why indian pudding isn’t more widely known I have no idea; it’s one of my favorite desserts of all time, and a traditional New England Thanksgiving classic. Indian pudding is a baked custard with milk, butter, molasses, eggs, spices, and cornmeal....

This is a great way to use up last-of-the-season garden vegetables. As soon as the pan gets hot, add enough zucchini cubes to form a layer on the bottom of the pan. Cook over high heat, stirring, until zucchini is lightly browned on all sides. Remove zucchini cubes, and add them to pan with the onions. Repeat process until all of the zucchini cubes have been cooked. Related Video

I’m a sucker for comfort food. I think it’s because I’m from the Midwest (the Great Plains, actually, but people outside the Midwest rarely know what that means!). We are biologically required to eat food that puts meat on our bones. When it’s cold in the middle states, like it usually is starting this time of year, we cook meals that warm our houses and our insides. Crisp fall weather creates the need for the rich meat dishes paired with sweet fruits and roasted vegetables....

As my creative juices started flowing, I came up with this piri piri fried chicken....

For more information on which apple varieties are best for baking, check out our Guide to Apples. My dear Minnesota-raised father, who cannot resist any recipe with both sauerkraut and bacon, couldn’t wait to try this apple and bacon sauerkraut from the Niman Ranch Cookbook. The trick is to use good quality sauerkraut; the best stuff, according to dad, is refrigerated and in a jar. He drains it, but doesn’t rinse it, lest the flavor rinses away....

While incidents like this may seem small, they add up. Over one-third of the food supply in the United States goes uneaten according to the USDA. And in 2018, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that 40% of all food waste in the U.S. comes from consumers and consumer-facing businesses (like restaurants, grocery stores, cafeterias, etc.). This is especially upsetting when you consider that 38 million people in the country are food insecure....

Mongolian Beef Satay This Mongolian Beef Satay started out as an experiment and turned out absolutely delicious! I have been wanting to try a beef satay but I wasn’t crazy about any of the recipes I found online. So I decided to take the ingredients from our Mongolian Beef recipe and condense them into a marinade. At first my husband was a little annoyed that I cut up all the beef for this recipe (he had wanted to make a steak) but he took one bite and changed his tune pretty fast!...
