About me: I have always liked to cook, particularly breads, fruits, vegetables, vegetarian, poultry and lamb dishes. After marriage we cooked together progressively more difficult dishes with him doing the meat, grilling and frying, and I did the "dough" and the same type of things I had before. After children we started cooking more simply. After discovering the cause of my frequent migraines was an evolving long list of chemicals and odd ingredients, I began getting back to cooking from basic ingredients, and found I could be well again. I also try to cooking from what I can get in season at the ever present fruit and vegetable stands.

Favorite cookbook: America's Test Kitchen / Cooks Illustrated Books

Manchester Stew from Skinny Instant Pot & Slow Cooker Cookbook

I switched up the vegetables and canned beans to reflect what I had on hand. It was my very first use of the Insta pot and I was skeptical of the 3 minute cooking time since I had increased the amounts... read more >

Paleo Cooking with Your Air Fryer: 80+ Recipes for Healthier Fried Food in Less Time

Buffalo Cauli-bites : page 135

This delicious faux chicken wing dish made from cauliflower is really delicious, but it turns out dripping in too much oil/ghee, so I cut the ghee in half. We have not tried the Paleo ranch dressing recipe.

Coconut Shrimp : page 107

We have tried several air fryer coconut shrimp recipes but like this the best. It is important to have good quality unsweetened shredded coconut, and this recipe calls for cassava flour, which I find makes the best tasting gluten free recipes. The tropical dipping sauce is based on pineapple juice and uses coconut aminos (a convenient soy sauce substitute).

Eggs Three Ways : page 167

I love their poached eggs - cracked into oiled ramekins, if you make sure there is a thin layer of oil on top, they do not come out dried out on top. I turn them over onto a paper towel to absorb any extra oil before placing them on the serving dish, toast, English muffin, etc. It makes for a pretty egg for an English muffin.

Simple Bison Balls : page 60

This is a meat-heavy mixture without eggs, milk, breadcrumbs, etc, but does have onion and herbs. I like it for a quick supper. The meatballs cook in a dish in the air fryer covered with a jar of marinara tomato sauce. I find that unless I move them around half way through cooking, some of them are not cooked all the way through. This is a simple tasty way to turn one lb of ground bison into a very fast meal and I like it served on millet brown rice ramen noodles for a one person portion.
