As a food blogger, I’m always trying to give things a new and unique twist, much to the chagrin of my husband, who would much rather just have something basic. “Honey dearest, what kind of jam should I make with all these peaches/strawberries?” “Just plain peach/strawberry. Don’t do anything weird.” “Please, you know I’m not going to make you plain ass jam.” “Grumble grumble grumble.” Pardon my language, but I swear, all he ever wants is plain ass this and plain ass that (at least when it comes to jam and cake, which he argues don’t need any weird flavor additions/combinations....

And it’s true that making food in an air fryer requires far less oil (and yes, sometimes no oil at all) than traditional cooking methods. However, knowing when to use oil and which oil to use will help you get the most from your air fryer and ensure your dishes turn out perfectly cooked and perfectly delicious every time. When deciding whether to put oil in an air fryer, there are a few factors to consider: the type of food you are making, how much food you are making, and the cooking temperature....

Suitable for gluten-free diets. Instead of pouting by the fireplace bundled up in three layers of blankets and socks, let’s head to the kitchen instead, put a big batch of this chili on the stove, and laugh as we prepare to show winter who’s boss. In fact, winter might just pull up a chair at the kitchen table and ask for ‘a bowl of that very tasty chili, please.’ I’m not sure if this newfound friendship will result in fewer snowflakes and icicles, but we can hope… This is the best venison chili recipe and is about as easy to make as it can get....

Why You’ll Love This This recipe is a mixture of recipes I have used over the years. Precooking the apple filling helps prevent undercooked and watery apples. It also helps prevent the gap that can occur between the top crust and the filling. This apple pie recipe delivers a flaky, tender crust filled with the classic fall apple flavors. It’s that time of year for baking, so be sure to check out our other fall desserts, such as Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars and Easy Pecan Pie Bars!...

Prepare your other dishes to share the spotlight, because this sweet tater dish is a show stealer. What turkey? Ooooohhhh… that turkey! We didn’t see it there with our eyes and taste buds focused on the Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes. With a color that begs to be looked at and flavors that demand second helpings all around, you’ll likely forget that this naturally sweet dish is actually packed with nutrients (vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber – and more)....

After a trip, you’re left with memories and photos. Maybe a souveneir or two (I have a habit of bringing home spoons, go figure) but sometimes a dish, something you ate during your travels, follows you home and simply refuses to be ignored. In cases like this it’s helpful to have a direct connection, a source where you can request the recipe, politely of course, but some legit begging and pleading (oh-my-god-if-I-don’t-eat-that-again-soon-I-might-die) might very well occur....
