What You Need For Air Frying

With just a few ingredients, you can have a rotisserie style chicken in no time. Change up the seasonings to your likings.

• Whole chicken:  4-5 pounds and with the giblets removed.
• Olive Oil: For coating the chicken to help it fry and the seasoning to stick.
• Italian Seasoning: A wonderful combination of spices that will are delicious on chicken. You can make your own here.
• Garlic Powder: Garlic and chicken are a good match, they will taste incredible.
• Paprika: Adds color and flavor to the chicken.
• Salt and Pepper: Add to taste.

How To Air Fry A Whole Chicken

You are going to love how hands off this chicken is. Just flip it once and you end up with impeccable juicy chicken every time.

1. Prep the Chicken: Rub the chicken with the oil.
2. Seasoning:  In a small bowl combine Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika and salt and pepper. Rub all over the chicken
3. Air Fry: Place the chicken breast side down in the air fryer. Cook at 360 degrees for 30 min.
4. Flip: Turn the chicken and cook for an additional 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Tips For Tender and Juicy Whole Chicken

Truly air frying a whole chicken could not be any easier. And with just a few tips you can have the best chicken ready in about an hour.

• Pat It Dry: After you remove the giblets from the inside, pat the chicken dry. This will help the oil and seasonings stick to the chicken. It will also crisp the skin up better because if there is extra moisture on the skin it will just steam.
• Season: When you season the chicken, do it generously and completely. You want to cover the bird well so it will taste amazing all over.
• Internal Temperature: This is super important, you want to cook the chicken till it 165 degrees inside. Insert the meat thermometer into the thigh area of the chicken and away from the bone. The temperature will continue to rise 1-3 degrees after the chicken is removed.
• Start with Breasts down: You will want to place your chicken breast side down at first. This will help the juices keep the white, drier part of the chicken juicier as it cooks. Starting with the breasts up will result in a drier bird.
• Flip: But you do want to flip the chicken halfway through to make sure the skin gets crispy all over. Trust me you don’t want to miss that step.
• Let it Rest: Once the chicken is done, you can either leave it in the basket and cover or remove and place on a cutting board and tent the chicken with foil. Let the chicken rest 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to reabsorb in to the meat before cutting.

Variations of Seasonings

With this recipe being so easy, it also amazingly customizable and you can use the chicken in so many ways. Depending on what you want to use it for, your spices and seasonings can be changed up.

• Mexican: If you are using it in Mexican dishes, use cumin, chili powder, garlic, smoked paprika and even a taco or fajita seasoning blend.
• Italian: For a more Italian flavor, keep the Italian seasoning, and add some extra oregano and basil
• Dry Rub: Use ranch or Italian dry dressing as a rub with the olive oil or this French onion soup mix would be incredible.
• Mix it Up! Other ideas include lemon pepper, Asian 5 spice, or any other flavoring you think will be good.

How to Serve Air Fryer Chicken

Possibilities are almost endless, besides being delicious on its own, this chicken taste scrumptious in so many things.

• • Soups: This chicken is so nice to add to soups to make your recipes go faster. Think Chicken Noodle, Chicken Taco Soup, and White Chili.
  • Sandwiches:  Chicken from the air fryer will make amazing sandwiches. Add it to Basil Pesto, Chicken Caesar Wraps or this Avocado Chicken Salad recipe.
  • Other: For everything else in between, it will work too. Think tacos, enchiladas, burrito bowls, pastas, salads and casseroles.  Try it in Chicken Spaghetti Bake, Cheesy Chicken Bacon and Broccoli Ranch Pasta, and Queso Chicken Skillet.

Creamed Peas and Potatoes

Creamed Peas and Potatoes are a classic side dish that is absolutely delish! Super creamy and full of flavor it’s a side dish that is hearty and comforting!

This amazingly hearty side dish pairs perfectly with a good meat dish. Try one of these favorites from the blog, Glazed Ham, Lamb Shanks and Pot Roast.

Creamed Peas and Potatoes

Creamed peas and potatoes is a side dish made popular back when everyone had gardens and the peas and baby potatoes were ready at the same time. It is a dish that was often made in the springtime.  I remember having these creamed peas and potatoes growing up as a kid and I loved it. There is something so comforting and hearty about these peas and potatoes.  Now it’s a side dish my whole family loves and I know you will too!

Creamed peas and potatoes and divine when you can get your hands on fresh peas, but frozen peas will work just as well. This is a hearty side dish that works well just about any main dish and serves a lot. I like to take it to big family gatherings or potlucks. If you haven’t tried it, this is the time to do it! You are going to love it!

What You Need For Creamed Peas and Potatoes

Basic ingredients combine for a delightful side dish that could be the most popular dish on the table.

• Red Potatoes: Baby red potatoes work really well or cut up larger reds.
• Peas: Use frozen or fresh.
• Butter: Do not substitute out, this is the foundation for the roux.
• Flour: Together with the butter this will create a thickener.
• Salt and Pepper: Add to taste.
• Milk: Combined with the cream, this is creates incredible sauce.
• Heavy Cream: Definitely a must if you want ultimately creamy potatoes.
• Parmesan Cheese: Use grated parmesan so it will melt easier. Adds the best flavor to the vegetables.

Making Creamed Peas and Potatoes

Creamed peas and potatoes are a classic that comes together easily. You just need a little bit of time.

1. Potatoes:  Bring a large pot to boil the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until fork tender.
2. Peas: Add the peas the last 3 minutes of cooking time. Drain.
3. Roux: In a large saucepan over medium high heat add the butter and melt. Whisk in the flour, salt and pepper until it thickens up.
4. Thicken: Whisk in the milk, heavy cream and parmesan over medium high heat until thick.
5. Add:  Add the potatoes and peas back to the sauce for 2-3 minutes and serve.

Pro Tips For Creamed Peas and Potatoes

Simple and basic, this recipe highlights the vegetables of spring, peas and new potatoes. The cream sauce adds texture and binding and just a hint of flavor. The cream sauce is delicious but it really lets the peas and potatoes shine.

• Potatoes: You want to use baby reds or fingerling potatoes for this dish. They are a waxy potato that holds up to being boiled and keeping their shape. They won’t turn to mush like your high starch Idaho russets can.
• Peas: If you don’t have peas growing in your own backyard, a trip to the farmers market just might be worth it. The fresh peas are so yummy in this dish.
• Frozen Peas:  I will say frozen are pretty darn good too. Buy petite green peas however, they have a better fresh flavor and hold up better with the potatoes than regular frozen peas. Also if you use frozen peas you can skip the blanching and just thaw them on the counter or in the fridge. They will cook enough in the sauce with the potatoes.
• Sauce:  Yes you can use skim milk or regular milk and half and half in this sauce and it will still taste great, it just may not be quite as creamy or thick.
• Salt and Pepper: Be sure to taste the potatoes, peas and sauce and salt and pepper accordingly. Because you are not adding any other spice to the dish, you do not want to skimp on the salt and pepper. It will actually help the potatoes and peas taste amazing.

Variations and Storing Peas and Potatoes

This recipe is a classic and very traditional. The added Parmesan gives it just a touch of flavor and that added salty flavor that takes it above and beyond. Make it your own and enjoy!

• Cheese: Feel free to change out the cheese or leave it out all together. For a bit of a different flavor use shredded swiss cheese, or a stronger flavored Parmigiano-Reggiano.
• Bacon: Because everything is better with a bit of bacon. Cook and crumble bacon and add as a garnish or stir it in.
• Onion:  Add some extra depth to the flavor by sauteing finely chopped onion in butter and then add to the sauce with the peas and potatoes.
• Flavor: If you want to add more flavor to the sauce, try adding some herbs. Dill is a go to favorite in this dish that keeps it fresh, but you can try others such as tarragon and parsley.
• Adjust it: If you are making creamed peas and potatoes for the family, keep the recipe as is. If you are making it for a crowd or a potluck, feel free to double the recipe.
• Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge in a tightly sealed container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a saucepan on the stove or in the microwave. Creamed peas and potatoes make wonderful leftovers!

More Side Dishes to Try

Side dishes can be just as important as the main meal. They balance out your main dish and add nutrition, flavor and texture. I have had many a meal where the side dish was more delicious than the main dish, which is totally fine with me. You can even make a whole meal out of simple side dishes. Side dishes are so customizable and diverse. I often make a side dish or two to make sure all my kids will eat something at dinner time, especially if I am trying a new dish out on them and I don’t know how they’ll react. With these tried and true sides, I am guaranteed they’ll eat something and I don’t have to spend more time making several meals to satisfy them.

Homemade Air Fryer French Toast Sticks

Air Fryer French Toast Sticks are a super fun fast way to make breakfast in the morning. Coated in a vanilla and cinnamon egg mixture, these fry up absolutely amazing!

Inspired by my tried and true French Toast, these sticks are incredible. Serve them with some fresh fruit, Perfectly fluffy Scrambled Eggs and amazing Baked Bacon.

Air Fryer French Toast Sticks

My family love french toast, but they go insane when I turn them into french toast sticks. It gives them permission to eat with their fingers. They get to dunk them into warmed homemade maple syrup and they love it.  I love how quick and easy is to make. It truly does not take but a minute more to make french toast sticks vs regular and they are so much more fun to eat. I also love how the air fryer transforms them into the Best french toast ever!

When you use the air fryer to cook these french toast sticks, they take on that being “fried” texture without the extra fat and calories. The circulating air beautifully crisps the outsides and leaves the insides soft and tender, but cooked. Using the air fryer you can also control how crispy you want your french toast. It makes french toast sticks magical just like these homemade poptarts, donuts and even grilled cheese sandwiches. You have to check out my other air fryer recipes for the best in air frying!

French Toast Sticks Ingredients

These ingredients are probably sitting in your pantry. Having a good quality bread is key. Pick a bread that is stout and will soak up the egg mixture, but not disintegrate in it.

• Eggs: Large eggs beaten well for the dredging.
• Milk: You can also use heavy cream or half and half.
• Cinnamon: Adds the best bit of flavor.
• Vanilla: The vanilla makes all the difference in the sweetness.
• Texas Toast: You want thick sliced bread that is thick and hearty.
• Brown Sugar: For adding a bit of sweetness to the tops
• Oil: This is for spraying the air fryer, do not use cooking spray

How To Make French Toast Sticks in the Air Fryer

This could not be any easier. Just like making french toast, it only takes one extra step to cut the bread. It’s fun and the whole family is going to love it!

1. Egg Mixture: In a small bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla.
2. Oil: Spray the bottom of the basic with olive oil spray.
3. Bread: Cut the Texas toast into 3 sections. Dredge into the egg mixture and place in a single layer in the basket. Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar.
4. Fry: Cook at 360 degrees for 6-8 minutes or until golden.
5. Serve: Serve with syrup and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Tips for The Best French Toast Sticks

Truly the best french toast starts with the bread and what you put in the egg mixture. I have tips for the air fryer too.

• Air Fryer: When you oil the air fryer, do not use a cooking spray. It has additives that over time will leave your air fryer basket gummy and ruin it. You will want to use a pure oil spray with no added solvents or ingredients.
• Do not over crowd: Probably the number one rule when air frying is to not over crowd. If you do the circulating air cannot get all the way around your food and it will cook unevenly or not at all. So leave space and cook in batches if you need to.
• Egg Mixture: To dial up your egg mixture a notch use heavy whipping cream or half and half instead of milk. Trust me it is divine.
• Cinnamon: If you notice the first few bread pieces seem to take all the cinnamon, leaving not much behind for the rest of your bread. Add cinnamon to your egg mixture as you dip and when you notice its disappearing. That way every piece of your french toast sticks will have that divine cinnamon flavor.
• Bread: Yes, a good quality bread is key. But it should also be stale. I know it doesn’t sound appealing but it works. The more dried out the bread the less soggy it will be when it is air fried. If you bread is really fresh, place it in the air fryer for about 1-2 minutes to dry it out a bit before dipping it in the egg mixture.
• What Kind of Bread to Use: Any bread will work, but to get the best results, you want a hearty bread that will stand up to the egg mixture. Texas toast, french bread, brioche, challah, sourdough and even fun bread like cinnamon raisin bread. YUM!

Toppings For Easy French Toast Sticks

Besides dipping them in the best homemade maple syrup you can do a lot with these sticks.

• Syrup:  Besides maple you can dip these french toast sticks in other syrups, you can totally get creative, but try, coconut, buttermilk, huckleberry or apricot syrup.
• Spreads: You can spread the sticks with Nutella, caramel sauce, peanut butter or cookie butter.
• Fruit: Serve alongside or on top with your favorite fruit. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries,  peaches, bananas or even try orange zest.
• Nuts: Nuts can be used to top them too, after the whip cream of course to keep them on the french toast sticks. Try chopped pecans, walnuts or pistachios.
• Jam: French toast sticks are easy to dip in jam as well. We love peach, apricot, strawberry or huckleberry jam.
• Chocolate: Chocolate in the morning makes everything better! Sprinkle with chocolate chips, mint chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.
• Extras:  These are not exactly extras, but more of necessities at my house. Dip and spread with butter, whipped cream, sprinkles, powdered sugar or shredded coconut.

Storing and Freezing French Toast Sticks

One thing I love about french toast is how easy it is to make and store. You have to try this trick.

• Make a Double Batch: I will use two loaves of bread when I want to make extras. I spend a little extra time in the beginning but it pays off in the end.
• Freeze Extras: Place cooled french toast sticks on a parchment lined cookie sheet and place in the freezer for about 20-40 minutes. You just want to partially freeze them.
• Freezer Bags: Then place in a freezer safe sealed bag.
• Eat: On those busy mornings when you need a quick breakfast, grab these french toast sticks and throw them in the air fryer, or microwave. Perfect and fast!

Easy Banana Muffins

Banana Muffins are a great way to use mushy bananas. Quick and easy you can be eating these in no time, perfect for snacks or breakfast!

I love baked goods with banana in them, they are moist, tender and full of flavor. You have to try these blog favorites Banana Bread, Banana Pudding, and Banana Coffee Cake.

Banana Bread Muffins

I almost get giddy when I see my bananas start to turn really brown on the kitchen counter. It means I get to make banana something! Whether it’s Banoffee Pie, Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread or these insanely delicious Banana muffins, I love it! These muffins are perfect for a quick breakfast of snack. Packed with flavor and simple to throw together you can have these in and out of the oven in no time.

I love it when I find a recipe that my kids will devour. This is one of those recipes. Muffins are the best! Instead of taking an hour to bake a loaf of bread I can take 20 minutes to make individual sized servings in a muffin tin. It makes waiting to eat them a lot more tolerable. Give them just enough time to cool slightly and then slather them with butter, so delicious!

Ingredients for Healthy Banana Muffins

These are all ingredients you probably have in your pantry right now. I like to always have these staples on hand so I can make these muffins or other goodies whenever I need, or want to!

• Bananas: Overripe and mashed
• Egg: Use a large or Extra Large egg.
• Vanilla Extract: The perfect complimentary flavor to banana.
• Butter: Adds moisture to the muffins.
• Brown Sugar: Adds a bit of sweetness but will also help the muffins be nice and moist.
• White Sugar: White sugar adds sweetness and helps them be soft and tender.
• Flour: I used all purpose flour, unbleached works too.
• Baking Soda: This is one of the leavening agents that will give the banana muffins their rise.
• Baking Powder: The other leavening agent needed for fluffy muffins.
• Salt: Salt balances and enhances the flavors.
• Cinnamon: The best spice to add to banana muffins, it is so good.

How to Make the Best Banana Muffins

Super easy and fast. It is the best way to use up those brown bananas.

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a muffin tin or line with muffin liners.
2. Mix: In a large bowl, beat together the bananas, egg, brown and white sugar, vanilla, and melted butter.
3. Combine: In a different bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
4. Put together: Combine the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
5. Batter: Fill each muffin cup ¾ full of the batter.
6. Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the muffins.

Tips For Easy Muffins!

Let’s face it, banana muffins beat out banana bread almost every time, just because they are faster and just as delicious. You do not lose out on the flavor, just the extra time!

• Bananas:  The more ripe the banana the better the flavor. It’s also a lot easier to mash overly ripe brown yucky bananas then ripe green ones. If you know you want to make these and your bananas are not quite ripe, you can throw them in a brown paper bag for a day. If you need to ripen them right now, place bananas with the peel still on, on a cookie sheet and place in a 300 degree oven. When the peels turn black, they are ready to use. Let them cool slightly and mash away.
• Do Not Overmix: When muffins are not light and fluffy but short and dense, it is usually because the batter has been overmixed. If you are afraid of overmixing, mix it by hand.
• Make Extras: Trust me, this first batch of banana muffins is going to disappear fast! Make a double batch and freeze the extras for snacks or a breakfast down the road.
• Freeze and Store: Keep the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Freeze in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave.

Variations For Moist Banana Muffins

Use this banana muffin recipe as your base and then get creative with it.

• Nuts: Chopped pecans or walnuts add taste and texture:
• Chocolate: Banana and chocolate are an ideal combination. Use mini chocolate chips, regular chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips or even peanut butter chips!
• Other: Stir in oats, flaxseed meal, raisins, blueberries, or flaked coconut.
• Streusel: Whip up this quick and easy streusel and place on top before baking to add a bit more sweetness and crunch.
• Spread it:  What you spread on these amazing banana muffins can be just as delightful. Besides butter, try a cinnamon butter, jam, peanut butter, cream cheese and honey.
