Cooking

I like to eat which is evidenced by my current weight. When I first got married, I was horrific in the kitchen. Please say "turkey burgers" to my husband and see his visceral reaction. Year one of marriage, I served him my turkey burgers of doom and I think he spent the next 48 hours in the bathroom. How can you mess up turkey burgers you may ask? Well, I had a very special culinary gift back in 1998. Thankfully for my husband's digestive health and the sake of my children's well being, I've improved greatly and like to explore new trends, cooking equipment and more. 

Recipes That Make You Say Yum

Air fryer chicken wings are a game changer. I love wings but always feel so gross after I eat them. Putting the wings in the air fryer? Takes away the food guilt and still delivers crispy wings that you can eat lightly seasoned or add your favorite sauce (although, depending on the sauce you might be back to feeling gross). 

Where I can, I like to share links to fellow content creators who are getting it done. Domestic Superhero is a favorite of mine -- her recipe for air fryer wings is a slam dunk and the only one my husband and I use.

I'm on a roll with my wing theme today, so I gotta go with a sauce. My husband prefers buffalo sauce -- perhaps it is because he's actually been to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY that is the home of the original buffalo wing. Me, I like a bit of variety - salt & vinegar, soy garlic and parmesan garlic. I bought some wings for us to cook Down the Shore -- and yes, I did buy another air fryer for the beach -- and picked up a couple of sauces from Acme (yup, the one in Seaside Heights). I loved this parmesan garlic sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings. Yum.

I am obsessed with this device. I am every cliched suburban soccer mom and I love my air fryer. This beautiful piece of machinery came into my life shortly after Christmas 2019 when I decided to spend some of my gift money on sale items on Amazon. Within days, this delightful cookery tool arrived and I've been air frying up a storm. Sure, it's big and awkwardly shaped and takes up all remaining counter space but it's magic. This one is the GoWISE USA GW22931 7-Quart 8-in-1 Digital Air Fryer with Basket Divider Accessory + 50 Recipes, Black, 7-Qt - me likey a lot. If you haven't had wings done in an air fryer, your life is not complete. To make your life complete, check out the recipe section for a wing link.
