Making a simple switch in this popular appetizer recipe, makes the High Protein Jalapeno Poppers healthier and still taste amazing!

Appetizers are likely my favorite food group; who doesn't love snacking; but, the calories can add up quickly! Traditional Jalapeno Poppers have a lot of fat and calories, but with a simple switch we can add a punch of protein that leaves you feeling less guilty having these high protein jalapeño poppers!

I absolutely love the jalapeno popper flavor combo, so if you have't already tried my Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball or the popular Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese, be sure to check those out too!

Making this recipe in the air fryer saves a lot of time, but I am also sharing how to bake them as well.

I've been loving swapping out fatty ingredients with cottage cheese lately, and this Caprese Cottage Cheese Toast and these High Protein Vegetarian Stuffed Shells are two of my more popular recipes!

How to make High Protein Jalapeno Poppers:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Get all of the ingredients together and prepped:
- chop the jalapeños in half, length-wise and set aside
- cook the bacon, chop, and set aside
- chop the green onions and set aside
Make the filling: in a medium bowl add cottage cheese, colby jack cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, and mix well to combine.
Add the filling to the jalapeno halves.

Add the filled jalapeños to the air fryer (see below for oven baked directions), and close carefully. Cook part of the time.

Open the basket and add the panko breadcrumbs and chopped bacon pieces, close and cook remaining time.
Open the air fryer and carefully remove. Serve the high protein jalapeno poppers immediately.

How to make High Protein Jalapeno Poppers in the Oven:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Follow the directions to prep the poppers and fill the poppers. Place the poppers on a baking sheet, then place into the oven.
Cook for 12 minutes then carefully remove from oven and top with breadcrumbs and bacon. Cook for 5 more minutes or until the crumbs are crispy. Serve the high protein jalapeno poppers immediately.

Can I freeze high protein jalapeno poppers?

I don't recommend it because the cottage cheese tends to hold some water and they tend to get a little soggy when frozen and defrosted. I recommend making when needed.

Can I leave the bacon off the poppers?

Yes! Turn these high protein jalapeno poppers vegetarian by leaving off the bacon!

What is the nutritional information for these jalapeno poppers?

Nutritional information per high protein jalapeno popper per popper (half of a full jalapeno): 26 calories, 2g fat, 1g carbohydrates, 2g protein

What type of Air Fryer should I use for this recipe?

There are many Air Fryers to choose from, but I love my PowerXL Vortex Air fryer! Here are some other great options:

Using the air fryer to make this s'mores dip is genius because you don't have to start a fire or wait until you go camping to make s'mores! This no-mess dessert comes together in under a minute and then cooks in 5 minutes - so easy!

I love me some s'mores and have already shared these Peeps S'mores (Easy Easter Dessert) and these S'mores Stuffed Brownie Bites!

How to make Air Fryer S'mores Dip:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Ingredients needed:

regular size marshmallows
milk chocolate candy bars, chopped or broken into squares

Steps to make S'mores Dip in the Air Fryer:

For this recipe I suggest using a parchment liner for the air fryer basket or making your own liner out of aluminum foil. It should have a small edge, to keep the marshmallows contained inside the liner. I like these parchment liners on Amazon, or just make one like I did below using aluminum foil (see photo below).

Add a layer of marshmallows to the air fryer (on top of the liner) and then add the chocolate pieces over the marshmallows.
Close the air fryer and cook until done.

Carefully remove the dip by pulling up the liner and place on a serving dish. Enjoy immediately with graham cracker dippers!

What to serve with S'mores dip:

The obvious choice is graham cracker sticks but other options may include....
- strawberries
- pretzel rods
- ritz crackers

What type of Air Fryer should I use for this recipe?

There are many Air Fryers to choose from, but I love my PowerXL Vortex Air fryer! Here are some other great options:

Instant Pot Asian Meatballs are the perfect easy appetizer; done in under 20 minutes! The sweet and slightly spicy sauce will have you hooked year round!

Instant Pot Asian Meatballs are the perfect appetizer; done in under 20 minutes! The sweet and slightly spicy sauce will have you hooked!

Throughout the year there are tons of opportunities where you need to make an appetizer for a crowd; pot lucks, community events, girl's night out, game night, and holiday parties are just a few times when these Instant Pot Asian Meatballs will come in handy!

This delicious recipe takes barely any time to cook, and by using frozen meatballs, you won’t be stuck in the kitchen or stressed while entertaining!

Want to make it a full meal? Serve these meatballs with the amazing One Pot Spicy Thai Noodles or this delicious Asian Salad!

Making Instant Pot Asian Meatballs is EASY!

**scroll down for full ingredient list and printable direction**

I like using frozen meatballs for this recipe because it makes it very easy and little effort. You can make homemade meatballs as well, but the cook time will need to be adjusted.

Using a 6 quart Instant Pot, add the meatballs and sauce into the pot.
Close the lid and seal the valve. Then set the timer for 5 minutes. Once the time has counted down, release the pressure by flipping the sealing valve, then carefully remove the top.
- You should remember when using the Instant Pot, that the time it takes to cook the recipe (5 mins), is not the total time of the recipe. You need to give the pot some time to ‘come to pressure’ which will take about 10 minutes for this recipe.

Turn the pot function to 'sauté' mode, and once the liquid is boiling, add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce, and stir. The sauce will thicken up quickly. Turn the pot off and stir to coat. Top the meatballs with green onions, chopped peanuts, and sesame seeds!

These meatballs are incredibly delicious! Once you try the sweet and slightly spicy Asian sauce on these meatballs, this will be your go-to must-serve appetizer at every event!

I use this sauce on EVERYTHING including One Pot Spicy Thai Noodles, Spicy Thai Tenders, and Honey Sesame Tofu!

Can I make Asian Meatballs in the Slow Cooker?

YES! Add all the ingredients (except cornstarch slurry) to the slow cooker and stir to coat the meatballs. Cover and set on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours. Once the time is up, add the cornstarch slurry, stir to distribute, then cover and cook on HIGH for 30 minutes.
Leave them in the slow cooker on the warm function to serve directly from slow cooker at your event!
These Grape Jelly Meatballs in the slow cooker are always a party favorite, too!

My favorite Instant Pot Recipes:

Instant Pot Salsa Rice is the perfect meal or side dish to your favorite Mexican inspired dinner! Filled with fresh vegetables and only 4 minutes in the Instant Pot and this rice is ready to eat!
Instant Pot Asian Pork cooks up in just minutes, and is the perfect healthy dinner! Use the juicy meat in lettuce wraps, sliders, or a salad!
Instant Pot Bang Bang Chicken comes together in minutes and is so delicious! The classic spicy sauce is perfect on shredded chicken which can be used in rice bowls, salads, wraps, or however you want!
Instant Pot Peanut Butter Cheesecake is a stunning dessert that comes together in no time! Not only is it amazingly easy, but it’s the best cheesecake EVER!
Instant Pot Honey Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps: Instant Pot Honey Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a delicious healthy meal that cooks in just 10 minutes! Simple to make, family friendly, and so tasty!
Instant Pot Hard Boiled Egg Loaf: In five minutes you can have a whole bunch of hardboiled eggs which are perfect for egg salad! No peeling or ice bath for this Instant Pot Hard Boiled Egg Loaf!
Instant Pot Corn on the Cob is ready to eat in just minutes and is super flavorful! No need to peel the husk; corn on the cob can be cooked directly in the husk and then removed without a mess!

Caprese Omelette with Tomatoes, Pesto & Mozzarella

Published Aug 19, 2024 by Allyson
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

This Caprese Omelette is filled with balsamic drenched tomatoes, basil pesto, and mozzarella cheese; the perfect breakfast or brunch.

This Caprese Omelette is easy to make, yet stunning and delicious. If you are hosting a bunch or breakfast you can totally wow all your guests with this easy omelette. I'd recommend serving the caprese omelette with a spring salad or a fresh fruit salad. When tomatoes are in season, this would perfect be the perfect meal to make with your garden tomatoes.

I love caprese so much and have shared this delicious Caprese Cottage Cheese Toast, Caprese Grilled Cheese, and these Grilled Caprese Flatbreads!

How to make a Caprese Omelette:

Whipping the eggs until they foamy will help get a light and fluffy omelette; do this first.
Using a nonstick 8 inch skillet will help contain the omelette while you are cooking it. It is also the perfect size for a traditional omelette.
Cut the tomatoes into 4th's and add them to a small bowl. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, sprinkle salt and pepper. Mix and set aside.
Add eggs to skillet and when your eggs are close to being set, add tomatoes and mozzarella on one side of the omelette and cook another 30 seconds.
Using a silicone spatula, carefully flip the side of the omelette over the filling, and lightly press down. Cook about another minute.
Carefully remove the omelette from the skillet and place it onto the plate. Top with basil pesto, more tomatoes, and some more mozzarella cheese.

I love making this omelette on random days, too, because it makes me feel like I am treating myself to a fancy breakfast. It's a great way to start the day with some fresh coffee or orange juice.

How to make Homemade Basil Pesto:

Ingredients: 1 cup basil leaves, 1 garlic clove, 1 TBS pine nuts, ⅓ cup olive oil, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, salt and pepper
Add all ingredients to a food processor; process on high for about 30 seconds, scrape down sides, then process again for 10 seconds.
Scrape out with a spatula, placing into a small bowl.
TIP: Want to make extra? Freeze in ice cup trays and store in the freezer- fresh pesto whenever you need it!

Tools you might need to make a Caprese Omelette:

I like to use an nonstick 8 inch skillet when making my omelettes.
Using a silicone spatula will aid in getting the spatula completely under the eggs.
Using a quality balsamic vinegar will help the flavors pop.

Caramel Apple Monkey Bread: Loaded with caramel, apples, and delicious brown sugar, this Apple Monkey Bread is going to be everyone’s favorite fall treat! Serve it up for breakfast or dessert!

Pasta salad is a staple during the summer and year round, but this BLT Pasta Salad really steals the show! It has such a delicious flavor and it's filled with the perfect ingredients! Make this for your next potluck, BBQ, or party and everyone will be begging you for the recipe!!!

How to make BLT Pasta Salad:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Ingredients:

Pasta - any type of short pasta works well for pasta salad. I used Cavatappi pasta noodles.
Lettuce - use romaine for a typical BLT flavor.
Tomatoes - any type work for this recipe. I combined plum tomatoes and grape tomatoes recently and it was a nice blend.
Onions - yellow onion or red onion can be used in this pasta salad. If you don't like them, leave them out!
Bacon - crispy bacon gives this a nice crunch
Seasonings: salt and pepper
Homemade ranch dressing - I recommend using the Hidden Valley seasoning pouches to make your ranch dressing, but your favorite bottled dressing could work as well.

Making the Pasta Salad:

Get all of the ingredients together. Boil a pot of water and cook the pasta noodles according to the package directions to be al dente (do not overcook).
Prep the vegetables while the pasta is cooking. Set aside.
Cook the bacon in the air fryer, microwave, or in a skillet while the noodles are cooking. Chop and set aside.
Drain the noodles and toss around to allow them to cool. Transfer them to a large bowl and then add the bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, ranch dressing, black pepper and salt. Mix well to coat the ingredients with ranch.

Flavor Tips:

Let the BLT Pasta salad sit in the fridge covered at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and pop!
Make your own ranch dressing! I love the Hidden Valley Seasoning Packs to make homemade ranch. Follow the directions on the back of the package to prepare.

When to serve this pasta salad:

A potluck, party, or event is the perfect time to serve this easy dish. Serve it in a large bowl with a serving spoon.
I love making this pickle pasta salad to go along with either Air Fryer Brats or Air Fryer Hamburgers!
A summer BBQ is a great time to have pasta salad. Not only is this dish a delicious side, but it can also be a main dish for any vegetarians.
Dinner! This dish is packed with veggies and flavor. Serve it with some Air Fryer Chicken Tenders or shred them and add them to the pasta salad!

Creamy BLT Bruschetta (low carb appetizer)

Published Jul 9, 2024 by Allyson
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

Creamy BLT Bruschetta is full of fresh tomatoes, basil, and best of all BACON! This twist on the classic appetizer will be a new favorite!

The classic bruschetta appetizer is definitely a favorite for many people, but this twist is going to have you making it this way from now on! Fresh tomatoes, basil, lettuce, and bacon all tied together with a delicious tangy creamy sauce! With only a handful of ingredients, this BLT Bruschetta will be a summer staple!

Make this along with my BLT Pasta Salad and your summer BBQ will be off to a great start!

This BLT Bruschetta is quick, easy, and only uses a handful of ingredients - let's cook!

How to make BLT Bruschetta:

**scroll down for full ingredient list and printable directions**

Start by prepping the baguette slices:
- Slice the bread thinly into slices, then brush the top of the bread lightly with olive oil. Place the baguette slices in a single layer and bake at 350 degrees for about 5-7 minutes or until lightly toasted.
- Alternatively you can toast using an air fryer - 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes.
Make the sauce: add mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, pepper, and salt to a large bowl and whisk well to combine.
Carefully fold in the chopped tomatoes, lettuce, green onions, and bacon, taking care not to mash the ingredients.
Once everything is coated evenly, serve in a serving dish or bowl alongside the toasted baguette slices.

When is the best time to make Creamy BLT Bruschetta?

Once mid summer hits, it seems like my tomato plants go insane and I have such an overload of tomatoes. With this recipe, you can use as many or as little as tomatoes as desired. If cooking for a big crowd, the more tomatoes, the better!
BLT Bruschetta is great for summer BBQ’s, potlucks, parties, Bunco…you name it, people are going to love it!
It is quick to throw together, uses fresh ingredients, and is pretty cheap as well.

Cooking Tips:

Buy a baguette and slice it up, or get pre-sliced crostini’s – personally, I like to get the fresh baguette and go from there because I just love fresh bread.
Buy pre-cooked bacon and just heat and chop, makes it very simple. Alternatively, use and Air Fryer to make quick and less greasy bacon then chop it up! You can also use make bacon in the microwave!
Make the day before, but keep the dressing separate from the fresh ingredients. About an hour before serving, toss everything together and let meld in the fridge for an hour before serving.
Cutting Carbs? Serve with lettuce wraps or cheese crips!

In case you are interested in the delicious Creamy BLT Pasta Salad I mentioned above, here is the recipe. All the ingredients are basically the same, except there is pasta as well!

Air Fryer Chicken Wings (SUPER CRISPY & EASY)

Published Jun 18, 2024 by Allyson
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

These Air Fryer Chicken Wings are the best and crispiest wings ever! Done in less than 20 minutes, you'll never make wings another way again!

These Air Fryer Chicken Wings not only take a fraction of the time of baking, but get so crispy you'll think they are fried! With over 100 positive reviews, they are a reader favorite!

Why These Air Fryer Chicken Wings Are Better Than The Rest

Extra crispy: Using the small amount of oil plus seasoning blend while cooking in the air fryer get these wings extra crispy, while maintaining a juicy center.
Healthy: These Air Fryer Chicken Wings don’t require any deep frying (excessive oil) due to the air fryer. Using a small amount of oil helps get it super crispy, while keeping these heart healthy. Don’t like bones, try these easy Air Fryer Chicken Tenders or air fryer chicken breast - these recipes come out perfectly every time!
Make the wings in advance: Batch cook these and then freeze or keep in the fridge until needed! Follow the easy reheating directions I’ve listed below.
Great meal to combine with other sides: Pair these with an easy side of corn on the cob or a nice Wedge Salad for a quick dinner!

Want to spice it up? Try these Air Fryer BUFFALO wings, Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings, or Air Fryer Asian Chicken Wings!

Making wings in the Air Fryer couldn't be easier! Let me explain...

Ingredients to make the crispiest chicken wings in the air fryer:

These air fryer chicken wings only take a handful of ingredients, most of which you will already have in your pantry, which makes the wings easy to make! Here's what you'll need:

defrosted chicken wings (drums and flats) - if frozen, leave in the refrigerator overnight to defrost.
olive oil
garlic powder
onion powder
paprika
salt
black pepper

How to make Air Fryer Chicken Wings:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

First, prep the chicken wings.
- If the wings are full, separate them into drums and flats.
- Make sure they are DEFROSTED.
- Pat them dry completely - this is important so they get crispy.

Place the wings into a bowl and add oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to cover the wings.
- Feel free to use your favorite seasoning blend, however this one is pretty basic and delicious!
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for few minutes.

Add the wings in a single layer to the air fryer (they should NOT be touching), and cook for 10 minutes at 400 F degrees.
After the timer goes off, open and carefully flip over the chicken wings.

Close the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees F for 8 minutes.
Remove the chicken wings and serve with your favorite side dishes or dips!

Can I freeze the chicken wings? YES!

Let the wings cool completely and then add to a freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat/air fry from frozen: Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket, set to 375 degrees and cook for 10 minutes, then flip over. Cook an additional 8-10 minutes or until cooked through.

What to serve with Air Fryer Chicken Wings:

Serve with your favorite dips such as Cilantro Lime Dip, The Best Chunky Blue Cheese, or Homemade Buffalo Sauce.
Serve with a side of corn on the cob - Instant Pot Corn on the Cob or Air Fryer Corn on the Cob is always a hit!
Use the air fryer to make Frozen French Fries or Tater Tots to serve alongside the wings!
A hearty scoop of Creamy Mac and Cheese also goes VERY WELL alongside Chicken Wings!
Or make a Simple Wedge Salad to go with the wings!
Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries have become one of my favorite side dishes! So much healthier than the fried alternative!
Serve with just celery and carrots and a side of Blue Cheese Dressing or Jalapeno Ranch - YUM!

Can I bake Chicken Wings?

Yes, however it takes much longer to get them crispy. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place the wings on a single layer on a baking sheet (place on an oven rack on top of the baking sheet to get crispier). Bake for 30 minutes, then flip and cook another 15-30 minutes depending on desired crispiness.

What type of Air Fryer should I use for this recipe?

There are many Air Fryers to choose from, but I love my PowerXL Vortex Air fryer! Here are some other great options:

Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven, 6 Quart: 6-in-1, Broil, Roast, Dehydrate, Bake, Non-stick and Dishwasher-Safe Basket, Stainless Steel

Easy Homemade Pizza is the perfect weeknight meal or game day appetizer! Load it up with Spinach, Tomatoes, and Ranch for a delicious pizza!

Homemade Pizza is such an easy meal for during the week, but it also makes the perfect appetizer for game-day, parties, potlucks, and birthday parties. Whatever the event, everyone can get behind a good pizza.

Making homemade pizza dough is simple, and it freezes well too, so making it in bulk is a great idea because it's available whenever you want to make pizza! This homemade pizza is loaded with fresh spinach, tomatoes, cheese, and everyone's favorite- RANCH! This will be your new go-to appetizer or dinner!

Spinach Tomato Ranch Pizza can be made on homemade pizza dough or store-bought dough for a quick meal!

How to make Spinach, Tomato & Ranch Homemade Pizza:

**scroll down for full directions and ingredient list**

Decide if you want to use homemade dough or store bought dough - both work great.
Preheat the oven and roll out the dough into a pizza shape...or whatever shape looks good! Put it on a pizza stone or baking sheet now (use parchment for a baking sheet). Add the toppings to the pizza- ranch, spinach, cheese, tomatoes, green onions, and spices.

Place pizza into the oven, and cook for 12-17 minutes. Check at the 12 minute mark, and assess if it needs to be cooked longer.
- I like my cheese to be browned and bubbly, so I usually cook for about 15-16 minutes. Just keep an eye on it.
Remove carefully from the oven, and let the homemade pizza cool for about 10 minutes. Cut in slices or sticks and serve with a side of homemade ranch. I love this cilantro ranch and jalapeno ranch with this homemade pizza!

Can I use Gluten Free Crust or Cauliflower Crust for this recipe?

YES! You can use GF crust or caulifower crust (lower carb option) for this recipe with great success.

For Gluten Free Crust: Make homemade GF dough, then pre-bake for 8-10 minutes. Next, top with toppings, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until bubbly.
For Cauliflower Crust: Make the cauliflower crust following these directions. Bake for 20 minutes first, then add toppings and bake an additional 10 minutes or until bubbly.

This easy to make Strawberry Galette is the perfect summer dessert! Taking only a few minutes to prepare, this is an easy dessert or brunch recipe!

Strawberries are very affordable in the summer because they are in season. I love stocking up on fresh strawberries and making different recipes. This Strawberry Galette is perfect for dessert, breakfast, or brunch! It looks impressive, but it's very easy to make!

I love using fresh strawberries and already shared this popular Strawberry Jam, Honey Lime Fruit Salad, Strawberry and Cream Pastries, and also these fun Strawberry Basil Margaritas which are perfect for summer!

Looking for a more traditional dessert? Try this classic Strawberry Cheesecake!

A galette is great because it's basically a fake pie! Using a homemade pie crust is an option, however I like to use the pre-made pie crusts because it makes the strawberry galette incredibly quick and easy!

If you want to make a homemade pie crust, try this easy and delicious Pie Crust Recipe.

How to make a Strawberry Galette:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Preheat the oven and prepare the ingredients.
In a medium bowl, add strawberries and sprinkle with sugar, orange juice, and cornstarch. Stir and aside for about 15 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll the pie dough out a bit, set onto a parchment lined baking sheet; set aside.
Spoon strawberries and juice into the center of the dough, leaving about 1.5-2 inches at the edges (so you have dough to fold up and over).
Fold dough up and over the sides of the strawberries, working your way all the way around.
In a small bowl, add egg and water; whisk quickly for 15-30 seconds or until frothy. Using a pastry brush, brush egg wash over all visible dough. Sprinkle dough/egg wash with a light layer of sugar. Add butter pieces to the top of the strawberries, scattering around.
Place into middle of oven, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until crust is beginning to brown and strawberries are bubbly.
Allow to cool for 20 minutes, slice, and serve!

There are barely any ingredients and work to this recipe, which in my book makes it a perfect ten. You can also use pretty much any fruit or fruit combo – the more the merrier. I would serve this up as a dessert or even at a brunch. It’s so delicious and versatile, and I love how rustic and trendy it is too. I also LOVE how beautiful the fruit looks displayed at the top. In a ‘real’ pie, the filling is hidden, which makes for a nice surprise, but this is definitely more beautiful.

Southwestern Salad with Jalapeno Ranch

Published May 15, 2024 by Allyson
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

Southwestern Salad with Jalapeno Ranch is mouthwatering delicious! Full of vegetables, this can be served as a main course or side salad!

Making a big salad and having it to eat over a few days is an easy way to meal prep! This southwestern salad is full of fresh vegetables and then topped with a Creamy Jalapeno Ranch! Customize the ingredients to your taste, but this is a family favorite!

This salad is loaded with romaine lettuce, corn, tomatoes, red peppers, jalapenos, black beans, cilantro, lime, and then topped with a spicy jalapeno ranch dressing. You seriously have a tasty rainbow salad going on, and once you mix it all up, everything is distributed evenly and so mouthwatering good!

How to make Southwestern Salad:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Prep the ingredients and vegetables.
Make the ranch dressing and place into the fridge to meld.
Assemble the salad: Lettuce, tomatoes, corn, jalapeños, red peppers, and black beans. Squeeze limes over the salad.
Top with jalapeno ranch or your favorite dressing!

Tips for the salad:

I like to use fresh vegetables, but in a pinch you can use canned tomatoes and pickled jalapenos.
Want less spice? Pickled jalapeños are less spicy than fresh ones so keep that in mind. They can also be left out all together.
Rinse the black beans to remove additional salt.
To store the salad: Keep in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Do not add dressing until serving.
If you aren’t a fan of jalapeno ranch, I suggest you switch it up and use my cilantro ranch dressing – it’s also super tasty and not spicy!

This salad is great as a main dish, but can also be served on the side. I recommend serving it alongside these mains in that case:

Chick-fil-A Coleslaw (copycat recipe)

Published May 6, 2024 by Allyson
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

A southern favorite, Chick-fil-A had cool creamy coleslaw on their menu for nearly 50 years, and now you can make the exact recipe at home!

I haven't always been a fan of Coleslaw, but it is such a BBQ staple the more I tried it, the more I liked it. Then when I tried Chick-fil-A coleslaw, all bets were off. It's the perfect balance of cool and creamy, and it has the perfect crunch. Serve it alongside Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets (Chick-fil-A Copycat), Air Fryer Hot Dogs or Air Fryer Hamburgers for the perfect BBQ meal!

The restaurant served their coleslaw for nearly 50 years, but then abruptly took it off their menu. However, before the removed it, they shared the exact recipe in print for everyone to duplicate at home. I have been making it for years, and finally decided to share it with y'all.

Chick-fil-A Coleslaw is super easy to make, and only uses a handful of ingredients. Aside from the cabbage, you probably already have everything on hand.

How to Make Copycat Chick-fil-A Coleslaw:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Using a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, mustard and salt. Add the mayonnaise and whisk well until completely combined.
Add the cabbage mix or if shredding your own cabbage and carrots, add those. Use a spatula to fold the cabbage into the sauce mixture.
Place the bowl covered in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Pro tips for making Coleslaw:

Use a pre-shredded bag of cabbage/carrots mixed. This saves time.
- However if you want to double or triple the recipe, it will be more cost effective to cut the cabbage and shred the carrots.
Prepare the coleslaw the day before serving. The longer the flavors meld, the tastier the coleslaw gets! Mix well before serving.
Keep 1-2 bags of pre-shredded cabbage/carrot mix in the freezer, then take out the day before making to defrost.
Coleslaw will stay fresh covered in the fridge for 5-6 days.
Reduce the sugar content (7g per serving) by using a sugar substitute such as stevia or monk-fruit.

Delicious main dishes to serve with Chick-fil-A Coleslaw:

I love serving this coleslaw alongside Air Fryer Hot Dogs or Air Fryer Hamburgers, but it's perfect for grilling too!

Instant Pot Strawberry Jam (no pectin)

Published May 1, 2024 by Allyson
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

Only four ingredients in this super simple and delicious Instant Pot Strawberry Jam. Perfect for sandwiches, ice cream topping, or whatever you want!

With strawberries in season and so affordable at the grocery store, this Instant Pot Strawberry Jam is the perfect way to use them! I love making a BIG batch of jam to have on hand in the summer an fall.

I use it in the morning on toast or an english muffin, on sandwiches, as an appetizer topping on baked brie, or even turn it into popsicles! Using the Instant pot to make strawberry jam is so easy, saves time, and takes minimal effort.

How to make Instant Pot Strawberry Jam:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Mix the strawberries with sugar and let them hang out for at least 30 minutes. I typically do longer, even up to an hour. After some time goes by, you'll notice that there are a lot of juices released from the berries, which means you don't have to add extra water to the pot when you cook it.
Mix everything up and add either lemon juice or orange juice; both work well.
Cook the jam on manual for 1 minute, then let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes. Remove the top carefully.
- MAKE SURE you let it naturally release (do not flip the switch) or you will have a HUGE mess of strawberry juice all over your kitchen (trust me on this one...).

Use a hand blender or a potato masher and blend the jam until desired consistency. I like to keep it a little chunky.
Change the function to saute and once it's simmering/boiling, add the cornstarch slurry and mix until it begins to thicken. Allow the mix to cool then refrigerate up to one month.

Can I use other types of fruits for Instant Pot Jam?

YES! You can make this jam using blueberries, raspberries, peaches, and blackberries! I love making this Peach Jam Recipe in the summer with fresh Georgia peaches! Let me know what you try and how it turned out! I am going to try mixed berry jam next!

Can I use frozen berries?

YES! If you use frozen berries just increase the cooking time by 1 minutes. Alternatively, let the berries defrost before you use them and cook following the normal directions.

Does Instant Pot Strawberry Jam freeze well?

YES! You can use freezer safe containers and freeze this jam. I like to make big batches, and keep some in the fridge and freeze the rest. It should stay good n the freezer for up to a year.

Why we don't use pectin in Instant Pot Strawberry Jam:

Using cornstarch in this Instant Pot Jam makes it so we don't have to use Pectin. If you are fine with using pectin in your recipes, feel free to use it, however this strawberry jam comes out perfectly using cornstarch.

My favorite Instant Pot Recipes:

Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps are the perfect healthy chicken recipe! Make the spicy chicken in just minutes, then load up fresh lettuce wraps with your favorite toppings!
Instant Pot Peanut Butter Cheesecake is a stunning dessert that comes together in no time! Not only is it amazingly easy, but it’s the best cheesecake EVER!

Instant Pot Thai Lettuce Wraps (pork or chicken) can be made with pork or chicken in the instant pot or slow cooker! Juicy pork or chicken covered in an easy Thai peanut sauce makes the perfect healthy easy dinner!

Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos (Bonefish Grill Copycat)

Bonefish Grill's Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos is an easy and delicious recipe! With the signature sauce, and crunchy toppings, they are the best tacos!

Bonefish Grill's Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos is an easy and delicious recipe that can be made at home. With the signature spicy sauce, and crunchy taco toppings, these will be your favorite Shrimp Tacos ever!

Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos are a staple in my house because they are so easy to make. We also love Copycat Bang Bang Tofu for meatless Monday, and it's one of my most popular tofu recipes. Feel like chicken? Try out Bang Bang Chicken (Instant Pot recipe)!

You have a couple different options while making these tacos (grilled shrimped or fried - up to you!), and you can opt to make them healthier than the restaurant version.

Make some extra shrimp for some Bang Bang Shrimp Quesadillas!

Making copycat recipes at home allows you to know exactly what is going into your food, and you're able to eave out some of the more questionable ingredients (goodbye msg and through the roof sodium). I did fry the shrimp for this recipe to keep the like-ness of the restaurant version, but I love them grilled as well. Pair these Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with Garlic Ginger Spinach or Spicy Green Beans (PF Chang copycat) and dinner is served!

How to make Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

These tacos come together quickly and easily in only a few steps.

Make your sauce first and let that hangout while you cook everything else.
Coat the shrimp in cornstarch, this will give it a nice crispy shell. Fry the shrimp.
Assemble the bang bang shrimp tacos. I like using shredded cabbage, tomatoes, and green onions on top. Add a liberal (or modest if you don't like it too spicy) amount of bang bang sauce to the top!

What is Bang Bang Sauce?

Bang Bang sauce is Bonefish Grills signature sauce for their popular shrimp dish, Bang Bang Shrimp. It's sweet and spicy all lat the same time, and while it punches you with some heat, it doesn't overwhelm your senses. It's the perfect blend!
With only a few ingredients it's easy to make at home.
Bang Bang sauce is yummy on almost everything. Double or triple the recipe and use it on other dishes throughout the week. The sauce should stay good at least a week in the refrigerator.

How to make Bang Bang Sauce:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Take mayonnaise, Sriracha, rice vinegar, and sugar, and whisk all of them together in a jar or bowl.
Close the jar and let the sauce meld in the fridge while everything else is cooking.

How to make Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos healthier:

Grill the shrimp instead of frying. Leave the coating off the shrimp and grill or sauté them for a healthier alternative.
Lighten up the bang bang sauce by substituting half the mayonnaise for fat free greek yogurt. I have done this several times and barely notice a difference. The sauce is still majorly delicious, yet this will reduce the calories, saturated fat, and increase the protein content.
Use low carb flour tortillas instead of corn. I like corn tortillas as they are more authentic for tacos, but some people are partial to flour. If you are trying to save carbs/calories, you can look for a low carb flour tortilla. Either work well for Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos.

Bonefish Grill's Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos is an easy and delicious recipe! With the signature sauce, and crunchy toppings, they are the best tacos!

RECIPE BONUS: Cook up some extra shrimp while you make these tacos and then you can easily whip up these AMAZING BANG BANG SHRIMP EGG ROLLS!

First, prepare the onions: Chop the ends off the onion, then cut in half and remove the skin. Slice the onion making half moon shapes with the slices.

How to make Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Add eggs straight from the fridge to the Air fryer. I set the eggs on a rack, but it's not necessary if you don't have one.
- Don't overcrowd the eggs. I fit 8 eggs in my large 7qt air fryer.

Close the air fryer and set the temperature to 250 degrees and the timer to 16 minutes.
- For yolks a little less cooked, set the timer for 14 minutes.
When there are a few minutes left, add a few cups of ice to a large bowl, and then fill with cold water.
When the time is up, carefully remove the eggs using tongs and place them into the ice bath for 5 minutes. Remove the eggs from the ice bath and store in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Top reasons to use the Air Fryer to make Hard Boiled Eggs:

No green ring! I have made these dozens of times and there is never a green ring around the yolk!
So hands-off! Set them and forget them!
Easy to make in bulk! Make a bunch of eggs and store them in the fridge for easy meals and snacking!
- I label an egg carton 'HARD BOILED' and keep them in the fridge ready to go at all times!
Doesn't heat up the house!
Majorly easy to peel! After the ice bath these eggs are super easy to peel! Feel free to peel and store, or leave in the shell until you are ready to consume them!

How to use Hard Boiled Eggs:

I love eating Hard Boiled eggs plain or with a little bit of Everything But the Bagel Seasoning (make it yourself using this everything bagel seasoning recipe), but there are many ways to incorporate them into your meals! Try some of these:

Are Hard Boiled Eggs Healthy?

YES! One large egg contains 80 calories, 5g fat, 1g carbohydrates, and 6g protein!

One egg contains over 10 percent of your daily recommended Vitamin D intake!
Hard-boiling and poaching have shown to be the healthiest methods of preparing eggs, as they don’t require oil or butter for cooking.
Hard boiled eggs are LOW CARB (KETO/Southbeach friendly), gluten free, Paleo approved, Whole30 approved, and are vegetarian!
Eggs contain phosphorus, vitamin B12, and essential amino acids. Eggs also contain 15% of your daily riboflavin intake and also include folate, iron, vitamin B6, and zinc!

How long do Hard Boiled Eggs keep in the fridge?

It’s recommended not to keep eggs over a week in the fridge. I prep as many as I will need for the week and eat them throughout the week.

How to re-heat hard boiled eggs:

I like air fryer hard boiled eggs cold, but if you like them on the warmer side, try this tip:

Place eggs in a glass bowl and pour boiling water over the top of the eggs (keep eggs in shell). Let sit for 5-10 minutes then remove the shell and eat.
Do NOT reheat eggs in the microwave- they will EXPLODE!

What type of Air Fryer should I use for this recipe?

There are many Air Fryers to choose from, but I love my PowerXL Vortex Air fryer! Here are some other great options:

Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven, 6 Quart: 6-in-1, Broil, Roast, Dehydrate, Bake, Non-stick and Dishwasher-Safe Basket, Stainless Steel

Classic Lemon Bars

With a shortbread crust and delicious lemon filling, these Lemon Bars are a dessert staple that are easy to make!

Lemon bars are a classic dessert typical in the United States. They are easy to make, but do take a little bit of time to bake. They are great for using fresh lemons in the spring or summer. This dessert is one everyone will love!

Ingredients to make Lemon Bars:

For the crust you need a handful of ingredients:
- flour - all purpose white flour
- cornstarch - this gives the crust a crispy, melt-in-your-mouth texture
- unsalted butter - cold and cut into little cubes
- salt
- powdered sugar
For the lemon bar filling you'll need:
- large eggs
- regular sugar
- large fresh lemons
- all-purpose flour

How to make Lemon Bars:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Preheat the oven and prepare the crust. I like to use a food processor to combine all of the ingredients easily.
Using a 9x13 baking dish, press the mixture into the dish and form the crust. Then bake in the oven. Remove and let cool.

Prepare the lemon filling for the lemon bars: In a bowl, add the zest from two lemons and squeeze out the juice; Mix eggs, zest, lemon juice, sugar, and all-purpose flour using a whisk and until there are no clumps.
Pour the filling into the shortbread crust and place into the oven to bake.

Remove from oven and then allow at least 2 hours to cool. The filling will fall a bit and this makes the bars more dense and easier to cut.
Dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares or rectangles. Keep the lemon bars in an air tight sealed container up to 5 days.

These lemon bars would be great served at Easter Brunch after delicious Air Fryer Turkey Breast and Loaded Mashed Potatoes!

Caprese Cottage Cheese Toast

Cottage cheese, tomatoes, pesto, and balsamic glaze make the perfect combo! Caprese cottage cheese toast is a great healthy meal or snack!

Cottage cheese has been super popular the last few years as people focus more on how much protein is in their diets. It is a great source of protein and has very little fat and calories as well. It can be served with sweet toppings, or more savory toppings like this Caprese Cottage Cheese Toast.

This toast is great as a snack or meal all by itself, but I love serving it alongside a fresh Honey Lime Fruit Salad or a glass of Homemade Basil Lemonade!

Making cottage cheese toast is easy, and you don't need too many ingredients. This caprese style is so satisfying and delicious!

Ingredients:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Bread - I like to use a marble rye bread, pumpernickel, or a protein bread for even more protein. You can use whatever bread type you enjoy.
Basil Pesto - this can be made fresh or store bought.
Cottage cheese - I use low fat cottage cheese from the brand Good Culture. Look for a cottage cheese that does not have added ingredients - the simpler the better.
Fresh tomatoes - I use Roma tomatoes but any variety is fine.
Everything bagel seasoning - I love this blend for seasoning everything. It can easily be left out, but don't forget to season with a little salt in that case.
Balsamic Vinegar Glaze - boil the balsamic vinegar then simmer for a few minutes to thicken up as a glaze. You can also buy this premade in the grocery store - like this one.
Fresh basil - to garnish the cottage cheese toast - optional as you will get a lot of basil flavor from the pesto as well.

I love how this caprese cottage cheese toast is so vibrant, but also so delicious! Making it only takes a few minutes!

How to make caprese cottage cheese toast:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Toast the bread so that it is crispy, but not overdone. Add a layer of basil pesto to the bottom of the bread, then add the cottage cheese across the top.

Next, add the chopped tomatoes, everything bagel seasoning, and fresh chopped basil.
Make the balsamic glaze: add the balsamic vinegar to a small pot, then bring to a quick boil. Reduce and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Drizzle over the top of the cottage cheese toast.

Enjoy this toast right away. The longer it sits, the more likely it will become soggy. Aside from the amazing taste of this savory cottage cheese toast, the crunch of the actual bread makes it really delicious!

Easy Asian Noodles

Published Mar 17, 2024 by Allyson

A couple months ago I was browsing a new local Farmer’s Market and I was finding all sorts of things I wanted to try. Here in Atlanta they have a weird concept of ‘Farmers Markets.’ In the summer, they have outdoor fresh food markets, but year round they have these HUGE warehouses that house the widest variety of produce, meats, seafood's, and ethnic foods you would never ever find anywhere else locally. It’s really cool actually. I was shocked the first time I went to one, and then I had to tell everyone about it.

Not only are they stocked with everything and anything you could imagine (and things you can’t imagine), but they are SO CHEAP. I’m talking half the price for produce of your local chain grocery store. It’s insane and awesome all at once. They also usually have small food courts inside, which also have super delicious foods. Anyway, do you have anything like this near you? Out of all the places I have lived….New York, San Francisco, Detroit….I had never encountered this type of place until I moved to Atlanta.

So while I was there, I found some yummy fresh Chinese noodles (much like fresh pasta) and I had to get them. I knew I could whip up some easy

This is one of those dishes that come together so easily using the left over veggies in your fridge. I always have left over carrots, green onions, and other miscellaneous veggies and sometimes I don’t use them up, which is a shame because I hate wasting food. You can throw whatever you want into this dish, and I promise it will still be good. One thing I didn’t realize, was that you have to cook the Chinese noodles beforehand…oops. I put them in my wok with everything else and then realized they weren’t cooking. Luckily I was able to take them out and cook them how you are supposed to; 4 to 5 minutes in a boiling pot of water, strain, and rinse with cold water….then add to your wok. It still turned out great despite this little mistake!

Easy Asian Noodles are the perfect dinner option! Quick, easy, and majorly delicious!

Course: Main Course, Side Dish

Cuisine: asian, Chinese

Keyword: Easy Asian Noodles

Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

1 TBS vegetable oil
1 cup carrots (shredded)
½ small cabbage , shredded
8 oz shitake mushrooms , stems removed and sliced
½ bunch green onions , chopped
1 lb fresh steamed thin chow mein/Chinese noodles , partially cooked, strained, and rinsed in cold water
½ cup vegetable or chicken broth
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
2 TBS sesame oil
¼ cup Lo Mein sauce (look in the international aisle next to the soy sauce- see note below)

Instructions

Heat oil on medium-high in large wok or pan. Add green onions, cabbage, mushrooms, and carrots and stir fry for about 2-4 minutes, or until the cabbage is translucent.
Increase the temperature to high and add the noodles and ½ cup of broth. Cook stirring and tossing constantly for about 45 seconds. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or so or until all the liquid is dissolved.
Add the remaining ingredients; soy sauce, sesame oil, and lo mein sauce, and continue to cook for another 2-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve.

Recipe Notes

Fresh steamed chow mein/chinese noodles are only partially cooked and can be found in the refrigerated section at most Asian markets. Cook them a few minutes in boiling water (still firm though), strain and rinse with cold water.
If you can't find fresh chow mein noodles, then use the dried noodles by cooking them first and remove about 1 minute before the package directions. Drain them and rinse with cold water.
Lo Mein Sauce - if you can't find it, you can make it by mixing: 2 TBS reduced sodium soy sauce, 2 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon Sriracha. Use in recipe in place of the sauce.

Rainbow pancakes are a joyful breakfast that are simple to make and delicious! Perfect for St. Patrick's Day or a special occasion!

With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, I have been seeing tons of rainbow foods popping up all over the place. Pretty much rainbow anything gets me in a good mood, because it's just so cheery seeing the vibrant colors together!

I bet if you make these Rainbow Pancakes for your kids or friends for St. Patrick's Day, no one will be concerned about finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...they will be too busy digging into this delicious stack of pancakes!

Serve your pancakes with this amazing Air Fryer Bacon and Honey Lime Fruit Salad for the perfect breakfast!

I liked adding whipped cream and sprinkles on top of my pancakes, but you could have fun with other toppings as well. Oh, and on't forget the syrup, too! I think using gel food coloring is best for Rainbow Pancakes, because it gives the most vibrant colors, and you only need to use a tiny bit to get those bright colors!

If you really want to serve these for St. Patrick's Day, you could even do like i did and use a Shamrock Cookie Cutter (I bought the biggest one I could find) to make them even cuter!

Wondering when and how to serve Rainbow Pancakes?

Have a little one with a birthday coming up? Whip up rainbow pancakes for the special birthday breakfast! Have a little princess? Whip up some Pink Ombre Pancakes instead!
Suggest breakfast for dinner on St. Patrick's Day, serve up these bad boys next to some bacon and eggs - yum!

The air fryer is a game changer because everything cooks more quickly and it gives a nice crispiness to some food. Brats in the air fryer get nice and taught on the outside, yet stay moist and flavorful on the inside.

Air Fryer Twice Baked Potatoes are a classic side dish that are so tasty! The air fryer reduces the cook-time and and they turnout super delicious!

Twice baked potatoes are one of my all time favorite side dishes! They are good for all occasions! Serve them alongside Thanksgiving Dinner, Christmas Dinner, Easter Brunch or anytime. They are amazing and shockingly easy to make.

I love potatoes so much, and I've already shared with you how to make Baked Potatoes in the Air Fryer or Baked Potatoes in the Instant pot which come in handy for this easy recipe! I also shared how to make Air Fryer Potato Skins and those make a delicious appetizer!

How to make Air Fryer Twice Baked Potatoes:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Clean the potatoes well.
Cook the whole potatoes in the air fryer:
- Air Fryer (see my method step by step here): Coat the potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place in air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. Add additional minutes if not cooked through.
Carefully cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the potato filling, leaving a bit around the edges to make a 'boat'.

steps for cooking and removing the potato filling

Using a bowl, add all of the ingredients for the filling, and then completely combine.

steps to make the filling for the twice baked potatoes

Scoop the filling into the pockets of the potato skins.

Place the twice baked potatoes into the air fryer, then top with grated cheese. **Press the cheese down a bit to prevent it from flying around.

Cook them in the air fryer, then remove and top with your favorite toppings! I like crumbled bacon bits and green onions!

Air Fryer Twice Baked Potatoes come out so creamy and majorly delicious! You can make these ahead of time; make the day before you need them and then refrigerate. Cook them when needed.

How to freeze twice baked potatoes:

Follow the directions but do not add green onions to the filling. Instead of putting them into the air fryer for the second time, let them cook completely. Place into a freezer safe bag or container and then freeze up to 6 months.
How to cook the twice baked potatoes from frozen: Remove the potatoes from the freezer and allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Once thawed, follow the directions from adding the toppings and then cooking in the air fryer.

How to lighten up Twice Baked Potatoes:

These twice baked potatoes in the air fryer are a hearty side dish, but are not the healthiest. Of course calculate nutrition based off of your exact ingredients and measurements.

You can trim fat and calories by using nonfat plain Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream, and 1% milk instead of higher fat milks.
You can also reduce the amount of cheese sprinkled on the top and cut out the bacon to save more calories and fat.

With only a handful of ingredients, this Cheesy Pizza Dip is the perfect party appetizer! Add pepperoni or sausage to spice it up!

Gosh, just looking at this Cheesy Pizza Dip Bread Bowl has me wishing it were actually in front of me! This pizza dip has only 4 ingredients, takes no time to whip up, and may be the most attractive food you will ever make.

Gooey cheese, spicy tomato sauce, and crispy bread all come together perfectly to make this Cheesy Pizza Dip. It is so good, I bet it won’t last more than a few minutes after you set it out at your next party.

Next time you’re at a party (serving this dip), try out a cheese question as an ice breaker. I bet $100 there will be someone who hates bleu cheese or goat cheese…there is always someone who isn’t a fan of those. Luckily for those few people, there isn’t any bleu or goat cheese in this recipe.

How to make a Cheesy Pizza Dip in a Bread Bowl:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

Preheat the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Hollow out a large bread bowl (although this would be SUPER cute in mini bread bowls too!), pour the marinara inside, top with cheese and basil, tent the dip with foil, and bake!
Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot!

Tip for making the pizza dip:

Use your own homemade marinara sauce
This Cheesy Pizza Dip is vegetarian, however you can easily add ground sausage or pepperoni to add more protein. Alternatively, you could add more veggies like sliced bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms!
Use toothpicks on top of the bread bowl to help tent the foil and prevent it frok sticking to the cheese.

You could also try this Lasagna Dip in a bread bowl which would be amazing for any event!

Cuisine: American

Keyword: Cheesy Pizza Dip Bread Bowl

Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

1 large sourdough or french bread bowl
3 cups marinara (your favorite kind!)
½ TBS oregano
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (best if you shred yourself)
2 TBS fresh basil leaves , chopped
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place bread bowl onto a foil lined baking sheet. Hollow out the middle, carefully as to not go through the bottom/sides of the bread. Pour marinara sauce into center of bread bowl; add oregano and black pepper to sauce, stir to combine. Sprinkle cheeses over the top of the marinara, covering where the sauce meets the bread (creating a 'seal'). Sprinkle basil over the top.
Tent foil loosely over the top of the bread bowl, you don't want it to touch the cheese, and place in oven. Bake for 30 minutes; remove foil and bake for 5-10 more minutes, or until cheese is melted and browning (could also broil on high for a few minutes watching closely).
Serve with bread slices, crackers, bread sticks, or whatever you want!

Recipe Notes

I usually place toothpicks around the top of the bread bowl (stuck into the bread close to the cheese), so that the foil doesn't end up falling into the cheese- you don't want the foil pulling off all of the cheese when you remove it!

It's EASY to make this simple one pot meal, here's how...

How to make One Pot Spaghetti with Meat Sauce:

**scroll all the way down for full printable recipe**

In a large pot or skillet with tall sides , add onions, garlic, and ground beef and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until beef is cooked through; use a wooden spatula to break apart while cooking. Drain off the fat.
Next add tomato paste, broth, water, oregano, basil, black pepper; whisk well to combine ingredients and bring to a boil.
Add spaghetti and lightly press down so sauce comes over it. Lightly stir it every few seconds, so that spaghetti combines with sauce and meat.
Cover the pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until spaghetti is cooked through and sauce has thickened.
Serve immediately topped with fresh parmesan cheese and basil if desired.

TIPS for cooking One Pot Spaghetti:

Get yourself a skillet/pot like the one I have – it’s amazing.
- No longer do I have to use a HUGE pot, and worry about washing it, nor do I have to squeeze everything into my shallow sided skillet and have the sauce bubble over – this high side skillet is seriously made for these one pot pasta dishes.
Be sure to stir the food every 3-4 minutes while simmering. Otherwise it will get stuck to the bottom of the pan. Use low/medium heat once you are simmering.
Reheating is easy: Add to a microwave safe bowl and cook for 1 minute. Stir and cook another 30 seconds or until heated through.
Use Homemade Marinara Sauce because it is so tasty!
