Old Bay Shrimp

So I found this recipe on the Noom app. It has become one of our favorite recipes to make when the weather is nice enough to grill. If you like shrimp, you will like this!

Mexican Corn

So I bought a bag of Mexican corn from Costco a while back and knew I would love it, but I didn’t. It just had an awful flavor. This recipe has all the flavor I hoped for, but my only complaint was how cold it was after mixing everything in with it. I think it would be great heated up after the fact, maybe, or even eaten right away.

Burrito Bowls

These burrito bowls are fairly healthy with the use of cauliflower rice instead of regular rice. If you like the ones from Chipotle or Salsarita’s, you should like these! I found this recipe via Instagram. Luckily I couldn’t really tell the rice was cauliflower.

Air Fryer Okra

We are loving our air fryer. One of our favorite fried things (or at least mine) is fried okra. But frying it in grease leaves the house stinky. When doing the recipe below, I actually tried two methods. I find this recipe is about as close as I can get to real fried okra.

Queso Chicken

This is another recipe that I found from Piece of Keto Pyatt. It is really good and we definitely do not pair it in a keto way (we serve with chips, quest, and salsa). I think it would also be really good served over Mexican rice too! I might would even go crazy and add some refried beans for myself, ha.

Waffles

We love waffles in this household, but we have never found a recipe we just love. We have the tried and true Bisquick version, but I do keep attempting better versions. These were really good, but still not the fluffy waffles we were going for. I would make these again though!

Shrimp Fried Rice

I was really skeptical about this all in one pot kind of air fryer meal. I mean you literally cook it all in the air fryer which seemed kind of crazy. But it went really well and I can’t wait to make it again!

BBQ Nachos

So after making BBQ Nachos at home, I really questioned why it took me so long to make this. It is really simple, and it tastes delicious. It reminds me a lot of the BBQ Nachos we get when we go to college football games. I used shredded chicken because of my pork allergy, but you could use any meat you prefer!

Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Shrimp

So our air fryer has become hugely popular in our household since we bought it a few months ago. And the lemon pepper shrimp was a hit and easy recipe. We could have easily doubled it for the two of us! Of course that is a lot of shrimp, but we love shrimp!

Taquitos

This is an other super easy instagram recipe I found. I kind of adjusted the recipe to suit my taste a bit more, but I will list the alternative too. AND this works best with an air fryer. I am sure you could do this in the oven, but the air fryer gives it the crispiness I love!

Chicken Bruschette

I found this recipe on Instagram, and the blogger made it look oh so easy. And while I am sure I made it more difficult than necessary, it will not be a weeknight meal for us due to the length of time it takes, It was delicious, however, and I would make it on the weekends for sure!

Mug Subs

I found this recipe on instagram one day. I am going to share what I used to make these “mug subs”, but you can really use just about anything you have on hand that you would normally use to make a warm sandwich with. They are super easy, and they have become a regular lunch item for us!

Meatloaf

I am not a huge meatloaf fan at all, but I wanted to make something different using beef for Easter dinner this year. So we decide to give meatloaf a try. The recipe I used was actually good, and it was very similar to meatballs which we like a lot. It is just fairly less time consuming!

Steak Peppercorn Salad

As you can likely tell from the pictures, we made this recipe a LONG time ago, but we were making it frequently. And I simply forgot to post about it! We haven’t made this in a while simply because it is a bit time consuming, but as I write this, I am starting to think maybe we should give it a go soon during this quarantine!

Scallops

For my birthday, we decided to stay in that evening and cook steak and scallops. This would allow us to eat cake after dinner since we were not eating out and getting dessert then. Well I wanted to share the recipe I came up with to make them. Brad loved them. I really liked them myself. They could have had a bit more flavor though. Next time I will add more salt and pepper than just a sprinkle.
