Total Time: 1 hr

Servings: 8 servings  

Ingredients for old fashioned Southern Spoon Bread 

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk or 2%
• 1 cup stone ground cornmeal yellow or white
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs beaten
• 3 tablespoon granulated sugar optional
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons melted butter unsalted

Instructions for old fashioned Southern Spoon Bread 

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. set 2 tablespoons of butter in an 8-inch square baking dish and set in the oven to warm.

   Meanwhile, combine the cornmeal and salt in a medium mixing dish. Heat the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until little bubbles appear around the rims but it does not boil.

   Pour in the cornmeal slowly, stirring with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the cornmeal mixture for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until it thickens. Remove the pan from the heat.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of the warm cornmeal mixture to the beaten eggs and whisk together. Repeat with another 2 teaspoons of the cornmeal mixture. This is known as “tempering” or warming the eggs so that they do not scramble when added to the batter.

   Pour the tempered egg mixture into the pan with the remaining cornmeal mixture, whisking to incorporate. Whisk in the sugar, baking powder, and melted butter. Carefully take the baking dish from the oven and add the batter.

3. Return the dish to the oven and bake the spoon bread for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown, the middle is set, and a toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm spoon bread with butter and honey!

NOTES:

• For the finest flavor and texture, use high-quality, fine stone-ground cornmeal. Cornmeal, whether yellow or white, is excellent.
• Do not use cornmeal mix, as it contains leavening agents and other substances.
• While spoon bread tastes best fresh from the oven, it may be made a day or two ahead of time and warmed in the oven, wrapped with foil, when ready to serve.
• The batter can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to bake.
• Leftover spoon bread can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three days.

Ingredients for Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes 

Steak Marinade

1½ pounds sirloin steak cut into 1 inch cubes

⅓ cup soy sauce low sodium

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce

Potatoes

1½ pounds baby potatoes cut in half if too big

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 tablespoons butter

5 cloves garlic minced

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon salt or to taste

½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Instructions for Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes 

1. Combine all of the steak marinade ingredients in a medium-sized mixing basin.
2. While the potatoes cook, set aside.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Cook for about 8 minutes, or until the potatoes are browned and cooked through. Place on a platter.
5. Add the remaining butter, garlic, and Italian spice to the same skillet. Cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
6. Spread the meat in a single layer, reserving any leftover marinade.
7. Cook without touching it for 1 minute, then toss and sear for another minute.
8. Cook for another minute after pouring the reserved marinade over the steak.
9. Return the potatoes to the skillet and simmer until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
10. Remove from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese.

NOTES:

• Make use of both the butter and the oil. Use olive oil in addition to the butter.
• This keeps the milk solids in butter from burning and turning bitter.
• Separately, cook the potatoes. The potatoes must be cooked first, not only because they take longer to prepare, but also because the meat requires that time to marinate.
• Avoid overcooking the meat. If you want your meat well done, go ahead and cook it! If you don’t have one, grill the sirloin pieces for only a few minutes on each side.
• When stored in an airtight container or freezer, leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• Simply reheat them in the microwave for about 3 minutes on medium heat. If you want, you may reheat them in a skillet.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 12 minutes

Total Time 34 minutes

Servings 15 egg rolls

Ingredients for Delicious AirFryer Egg Roll Recipe 

• 1.5 tablespoons sesame oil

• Salt and pepper
• 12-15 egg roll wrappers
• Olive oil cooking spray (or cooking spray of choice)
• Asian sweet and sour sauce for dipping

Instructions for Delicious AirFryer Egg Roll Recipe :

Heating the filling

1. A medium-sized skillet should be heated to medium heat.
2. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, break up the ground beef after the pan is hot. Cook until it’s thoroughly cooked and has a lovely golden brown color. Move the cooked meat to a dish or bowl.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan you used to fry the meat.
4. Add the onion, celery, ginger, and garlic to the heated oil. Once the vegetables are nice and tender and transparent, season with salt and pepper, stir, and simmer for about 3–4 minutes.
5. Toss in the vegetable slaw and heat for an additional two minutes.
6. In the meantime, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, and a small amount of salt and pepper in a small mixing dish.
7. After adding the sauce to the vegetables in the pan, let it cook for two minutes.
8. Reintroduce the meat to the pan and combine it with the vegetables and sauce. After a few minutes, turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool.
9. For most air fryers, this requires 5 minutes of preheating to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Putting the egg roll together

1. to wrap and assemble the egg rolls. One egg roll wrapper should be placed with one of its tips facing you.
2. Run a finger over the edge of the egg roll wrapper after dipping it in some water.
3. With the bottom of the wrapper facing you, spoon about 1 tablespoon of the meat and vegetable filling. When you get to the end, fold in the sides of the wrapper like a burrito and roll the wrapper over the filling, wrapping it up and away from you.
4. Use water to seal the edges. Egg wash is another option; just beat one egg softly in a small basin with a half-teaspoon of water. Makes roughly 12 to 15 egg rolls. Continue until all the egg rolls are created.
5. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the egg rolls in batches. First, spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray before adding the egg rolls in a single layer.
6. Apply additional cooking spray to the egg rolls, then close the basket and cook them at 400 degrees F for 6 minutes. After that, turn the rolls over, spray the other side as well, and cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until they are extremely crispy and have a golden brown color all over.
7. Once all of the egg rolls are fried, carry out the previously mentioned procedures.
8. Remove, allow to cool, and serve with Asian dipping sauce, sweet and sour.

Recipe Notes/ Substitutions

• For these egg rolls, you can use ground turkey, ground pig, ground chicken, or even sausage.
• Any type of store-bought vegetable slaw will do. You can also purchase some cabbage and carrots and shred them yourself. Just make sure the vegetables weigh roughly 10 ounces.
• When assembling the egg rolls, take care not to overfill them as this could cause the wrapping to tear. The amount of filling should be roughly 1 tablespoon.
• To quickly seal the egg rolls and ensure that the filling stays beautiful and intact while they cook, use egg wash or water.
• Since air fryers differ in their cooking periods, make necessary adjustments if the egg rolls start to get overly crispy. Six minutes on the first, I discovered 4 minutes on the second side worked best with my air fryer.
• To keep these egg rolls chilled. After allowing them to cool fully, move them to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes at 350 degrees F or for 35–45 seconds on high in the microwave.

Delicious French Onion Soup Recipe:

This rich broth-based baked French Onion Soup recipe is topped with a cheesy crust that you will guard with your spoon…or knife. No sharing allowed. Hearty and comforting, this easy onion soup makes a regular appearance on our table.

What is French Onion Soup

French Onion Soup is super easy to make at home and so impressive to share with guests. It does take a while to cook the onions down but you can do this in advance and then store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Don’t become all impatient and shorten the cooking time on the onions. You want a deep caramel color before you add the liquids. This gives the broth that rich flavor that’s so prominent in the restaurant versions I’ve had.

What is the best onion for French Onion Soup?

All onions would work well but my favorite onion for making French Onion Soup is the Vidalia or other sweet onion. The sugars in the onion help the caramelization process along and really deeps the flavor lending a sorta sweet/savory thing going on that’s superbly splendid in this soup.

I use the same onions for this Caramelized Onion recipe….which is essentially the base for this easy French Onion Soup. If you can’t find Vidalia onions or other sweet onions, you can use a combination of yellow and red onions to get the rich, sweet flavor and deep, golden color.

Fantastic for a cold winter day, Baked French Onion Soup is savory and hearty with a thick blanket of melted heaven.

Prep Time: 15minutes 

Cook Time: 1hour 30minutes

⁣While the tomato cooks, prepare the pasta, for this type of sauces with Italian pasta they are very good, but they will be perfect with anyone.⁣

Depending on the type of pasta, it will take more or less to be ready, the average is around 7 minutes. We add plenty of water and salt and when it starts to boil we have the spaghetti.

Sausage Hash Brown Bites are the perfect hand held breakfast, snack or appetizer to serve to your family and friends. Bite size balls that are made with ground sausage, frozen hash brown potatoes, cheese and baking mix.

They are fantastic to make ahead of time for a quick and easy breakfast on the go or as an addition to a brunch spread. However, my favorite time to serve them is at a tailgate party.

Because they can be served warm or at room temperature they can be set out on the table with the other food items. Then whenever there is a commercial or another break in the action, these little sausage hash brown bites can be eaten quickly and without a mess.

Sausage Hash Brown BITES with Syrup 

Although the sausage hash brown bites are delicious on their own, you can also serve them with a dipping sauce such as syrup, barbecue sauce or Ranch dressing.

Best of all there are no utensils or plates required to enjoy these treats. Just like when you make Hash Brown Egg Nests, simply take a bite or pop the entire thing in your mouth.

They hold up well and won’t crumble apart when eaten. And you can even add a little dipping sauce to make them even more delicious.

You can use syrup as the dipping sauce if you are serving them for breakfast. Although, if you are serving them at a party, I would suggest dipping them in barbecue sauce or even Ranch dressing.

However, they are so good on their own that no dipping sauce is required!

Quick n Easy Crispy Chicken Fitters RECIPE 

Crispy Low in carbs Chicken Fritters are a tasty and healthful appetizer that the whole family will enjoy. These fritters are absolutely wonderful and great any time of day, ready in well than 30 minutes and super easy to make.

Prep Time: 5minutes 

Cook Time: 25minutes 

Total Time: 30minutes 

 Servings: 15 fritters

Ingredients for quick n easy crispy chicken fitters 

• 450 g chicken breast strips ( 1 lb)
• 3 eggs
• 2 spring onions
• 1 tablespoon sour cream
• 1 tablespoon plain flour
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions for quick n easy crispy chicken fitters:

1. Add the chicken strips to a basin and cut them into tiny cubes.
2. Finely chop the spring onions and combine them with the eggs, sour cream, and flour in the same mixing dish.
3. Season to taste, then thoroughly combine to make a soft, batter-like consistency.
4. Heat a frying pan, add a few drops of oil at a time, and drop batter into the pan, like miniature nests or pancakes, with a spoon.
5. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side till cooked through, then take from pan and place on a plate lined with kitchen towel.
6. Serve right away!

NOTES:

• To make the chicken fritters even more flavorful, use freshly chopped dill or parsley; however, I only used spring onions this time, and they were delicious as well.
• I did not include cheese in these chicken fritters, but grated hard cheese would work well.
• The chicken breast must be chopped into very small cubes to achieve speedy and equal cooking. They’ll be lovely and delicate and ready in just 2-3 minutes per this manner.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan; I never make more than 4 fritters at a time because it’s much easier to turn them on the other side this way, and they cook more evenly. I’ve discovered that the same is true for patties.
