Either way, this air fryer salmon and green bean recipe checks all the boxes. It’ll give you a warm, comforting meal while requiring very little effort (and very little cleanup) on your part. Your Air Fryer Is a Kitchen Workhorse Air fryers are all the rage these days, but beyond their immense popularity, they’re also true workhorses in the kitchen — especially for busy cooks. Since they’re much smaller than conventional ovens, the vast majority of air fryers don’t require pre-heating, and the ones that do require some pre-heating do so much more quickly than a standard oven would....

First, soak thinly sliced red onions in the vinaigrette while the potatoes are cooking. The vinaigrette will “pickle” the onions, taking away some of their oniony edge. Second, sprinkle the potatoes with dry vermouth as soon as they are done cooking, so the potatoes soak up the wonderful flavor of the vermouth....

Tamale Pie is one of those quintessential American pot-luck casserole dishes. I’m guessing it was invented by someone who had a taste of a real tamale and tried to recreate the flavor in a cornbread casserole. Why Tamale Pie Is a Family Favorite Tamale pie is not remotely Mexican and only somewhat resembles the flavor of real tamales. But it does taste great, is budget friendly, and easily feeds a lot of people!...

This approach is actually rather brilliant, a great example of borrowing from one cuisine to expand another.

It might seem like a dare, but the result is a complex, spicy cocktail worth a try. It could even become your new favorite nightcap....

There, I’ve said it. I don’t usually put my foot down about food preferences, but cold refried beans are about as appealing as a cold hamburger. This is why I make 7 layer dip starting with a layer of hot refried beans.
