While there are some versions of this taco made in an air fryer, I actually prefer to make it in a standard skillet (either nonstick, cast iron, or stainless steel) so the tortilla gets super crispy with direct contact to the skillet. The Best Kind of Pan to Use You can use any pan for these tacos. If you are worried about the tacos sticking, you can use a nonstick skillet or well-seasoned cast iron skillet....

The recipe I make is classic and very simple, but to get it ready even more quickly, I make it in the pressure cooker. Why Use the Pressure Cooker? Pressure cooking in the Instant Pot (or any electric pressure cooker) reduces the cooking time a fair amount. Using an electric one also allows you to leave the pot unattended while it cooks. The cooker will even switch to a “Keep Warm” setting once cooking has finished so you don’t have to worry about turning off the cooker right away when the soup is done....
But that’s the thing about myths—just when you’ve thrown your hands in the air and walked away, something new comes along to rekindle your hope. Like Fox Mulder, we want to believe. For me, that something new was my pressure cooker and a friend’s improbable suggestion that I try using it to make a batch of eggs. Just like that, the dream was alive again. Video: How To Make Easy-Peel Pressure Cooker Eggs Why the Pressure Cooker Works I’ve actually been sitting on this revelation for a few months now, just because I didn’t trust the evidence I saw with my own eyes: Two eggs or a dozen, fresh eggs or weeks old, white eggs or brown eggs, it didn’t matter....
I nabbed this recipe from my friend Heidi H’s recipe collection one day because it looked intriguing. What a keeper! Lots of flavor and in the time it takes you to cook the rice, the dish will be done. Once you have some nice browning, you can stir and cook the pork until all pieces are cooked through and no longer pink. Drain off any fat in excess of a tablespoon....

Here it is November, and the leaves are all turning, but we’re in Northern California and we still have yet to get a frost, so the tomatillos are still growing, albeit more slowly. We grew up with my mother making huevos a la Mexicana, or scrambled eggs cooked in a tomato and jalapeño salsa. This recipe is a salsa verde version of my mom’s huevos. Add some chorizo and you’ll have a Mexican version of Green Eggs and Ham!...

Many pickled beets I find are much too vinegary, hiding rather than enhancing the naturally sweet flavor of the beets. This recipe is my mother’s approach to preparing the beets, using cider vinegar balanced with a little sugar (you could also just use balsamic), along with olive oil and some dry mustard. We love it! The vinaigrette complements the sweetness of the beets without overpowering them. Do you love beets?...
A hefty pork shoulder is slathered with a rub of fennel seeds, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and garlic and set to marinate for a day or two in the fridge. It is then nestled in a bed of sliced apples and onions, first browned on high heat in the oven, and then covered and allowed to cook low and slow, until it is almost falling apart. You don’t need a knife to eat this slow-roasted pork shoulder....
A little goes a long way. Just a light drizzle can add a whole new dimension to any manner of dishes, so if you’re looking to jazz up a meal, think of it as your last minute, secret weapon. Where’s the love for walnut oil? Once you start using this delicate yet rich oil, you’ll be asking the same question. (But you might want to keep the secret to yourself....
They take just a few minutes to prepare, and a few hours to freeze. Stash your freezer with them now, and you can enjoy them all summer long! What Is Limoncello? Limoncello is a popular Italian liqueur typically made from vodka, lemon peels, and sugar. Depending on the recipe, it can be sweet or tart. It’s usually served chilled as a digestif, but it’s also great when mixed with sparkling water, or shaken into a cocktail....
Melting Pot Fondue Recipe This Spinach Artichoke Cheese Fondue is my favorite cheese to order at The Melting Pot restaurant. After our last visit I was able to duplicate the recipe with a lot of help from our waiter. He was nice enough to pretty much explain the entire recipe to me step by step. This recipe tastes exactly the same as the fondue we had in the restaurant: rich, smooth and perfectly creamy....
This healthy, aromatic dish is low in fat and carbs, but big on flavor. The best part is that this delicious dinner requires little clean up and can be on the table 30 minutes start to finish. Once you master the parchment wrapping technique for this recipe you can apply it to any variety of protein and vegetable combinations. The same is true for Chermoula, the sauce comes together in minutes, and provides a solid punch of flavor for this hands-off dinner recipe, but it also makes a delicious dressing, dip, marinade, or topping for grilled vegetables and chicken....
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies This Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe is the perfect combination of my two favorite cookies. They are rich with peanut butter flavor and have just the right amount of chocolate chips to get a chocolatey taste in every bite. This recipe comes from my cousin, Angela. She brought them to a family reunion several years ago and she was kind enough to share the recipe....
But when I emailed her asking for the recipe, she didn’t know how to give it to me. Like most recipes of hers, she free-forms it, adding peanut butter until the batter “looks and feels” right. It looked like I’d need to head into the kitchen and do some experimenting! The Secret to Easy Peanut Butter Fudge The one thing she did casually mention was that she uses marshmallows in her peanut butter fudge, something I’d never thought about....
