When I say these are the best Brussels Sprouts I've ever had, I'm not lying. Not hyping them up because of my blog. They are LEGIT. THE. BEST. We've made them dozens of times! They are crispy, sweet, a little spicy, and the perfect amount of salt.

Gochujang is a Korean Red Chili Paste that has a similar flavor profile to Miso, but sweeter and strong flavors of chili. It is available now in most super markets in the International section but also available on amazon . It is not very spicy (in my opinion) but has SO much flavor. If you can't find this product for some reason, you could swap it with Sriracha, but that will be much spicier.


Honestly though, these are so fast to make. I have also roasted them off in the oven and they still come out great. For the oven, cook them at 400° for about 25 minutes.

I got my first Air Fryer about a year ago and it was an instant love affair. Air Frying makes my life so much easier. Meals cook quicker, I'm not heating up the whole oven to cook one thing, and clean up is easy! My basket can go right in the dishwasher! There are so many options available now. I've seen many ranging from $30-$200.

These Salmon cakes caught me by surprise. They were incredibly moist, yet crispy from the panko. Never in a million years did I think I would cook with canned salmon, but you know what? It's cheap, easy, and I decided to try it.

After reading a lot of feedback on Air Frying forums about dry Salmon Patties, I decided to switch the bread crumbs for panko. It absorbs less of the moisture while giving it that really satisfying crunch. I did add in some mayo and oil (not much but a little helps a lot).





I'm not going to lie, breaking down and separating the bones and skin from the Salmon wasn't the most fun kitchen job I've ever done. I think that I'll have to get used to it though, because these were totally the bomb. They are like a crab cakes that costs a fraction of the money. 

I recently switched to using a non-propellant cooking oil spray for the air fryer. I will go between this and just brushing on avocado oil if it's already a really low fat recipe. This one from costco works great!

This might be the most coconutty coconut shrimp you will ever have. We LOVE coconut so I don't get shy when I'm using it to flavor something. To see what our secret ingredient is, keep reading!

I remember the first time I had Coconut Shrimp was in Key West, on vacation with my family. It was a magical experience. My first time to some place tropical and to me, my first taste of anything really exotic and exciting.

Crispy, crunchy Potstickers with no added fat! Air Fry right from frozen!

For the past six or so months, I've been researching and contemplating giving the Air Fryer a try. From what I had seen online, the concept was great, but did they actually work? My dream is to have crispy, crunchy food and not feel like a barrel of oil after.

Through a recent partnership with the brand CHEFMAN, they were kind enough to send me an Air Fryer to try out. With a countertop cooker, I'm looking for simple functionality. The thing I liked the most about the Chefman 3.5L Air Fryer is that within 5 minutes, I had it on and running. I didn't even have to look at the instructions, it was so easy to figure out. Of course, my first test HAD to be frozen dumplings. They came out so crispy and beautiful, and I only used some canola cooking spray (similar to pam.)




I started by spraying the inserted tray, placing the frozen dumplings in (not touching each other), and then giving them a pretty generous spray on top with some more canola. Next time I will be trying these with regular oil. You can add a few tablespoons into the opened bag of dumplings, give them a shake, and then put them in your air fryer. 


Carefully secure your basket into the air fryer, trying not to move the dumplings, set to 375° F for 14 minutes, giving a little shake about 1/2 way through. 

When they come out, you will have beautiful, crispy dumplings. The ones I cooked were Chicken Potstickers from Aldi but I believe any frozen dumpling would work great for this. The chicken was cooked through and was very moist in the center. 


I serve mine with a little hoisin, cilantro, and chinese black vinegar (a little balsamic would also work).
