Preparation Time
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 6-8 small cakes
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, peeled and chopped
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon white vinegar (to reduce egg odor)
5 grams yeast powder
5 grams sugar
300 grams all-purpose flour (adjust as needed for batter consistency)
150 grams raisins (optional)
50 grams cranberries (optional)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for topping)
40 ml soy sauce (optional for flavor enhancement)
Fresh herbs (optional for garnish)
Water for steaming
Directions

1. Prepare the Banana Base:
Peel and chop the bananas into small pieces. Place them in a large bowl.
Crack the eggs into the bowl and add white vinegar. Stir to combine.
Using a whisk or hand blender, mix the bananas and eggs until well blended, forming a smooth batter.
2. Make the Batter:
Add yeast powder and sugar to the banana-egg mixture, and stir to dissolve evenly.
Gradually add flour in small amounts, mixing constantly to avoid lumps. Keep adding flour until the batter reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
If the batter seems too thick, add a little bit of water or milk to adjust the consistency.
3. Add Dried Fruits (Optional):
Stir in raisins and cranberries if desired, giving the cake a delightful burst of sweetness and texture.
For extra flavor, you can also add a handful of melon seeds or chopped nuts.
4. Prepare the Steaming Setup:
Fill a large pot or steamer with water and bring it to a boil.
Grease small bowls or ramekins lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
If using, sprinkle a small layer of sesame seeds at the bottom of each bowl for extra flavor and to prevent sticking.
5. Pour and Steam:
Pour the batter into the prepared bowls, filling them about half to two-thirds full to allow for expansion as the cake rises.
Cover the bowls with foil or lids to prevent water from dripping into the batter.
Place the bowls into the steaming pot or steamer. Steam for about 25 minutes on high heat. The cakes should be golden and firm when done.
6. Check for Doneness:
Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cakes are ready.
Allow the cakes to cool slightly before serving.
7. Serve:
Once cooled, gently remove the cakes from the bowls using a spatula or knife.
Serve the cakes warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh herbs or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.

1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
24 egg roll wrappers

Peppers and Onions– Power up the color and use red, yellow or orange peppers, try using a red onion, chop them into bite sized pieces for easier eating.
Wrappers– Don’t be nervous about folding your egg rolls. There are usually directions on the back of the package. Make sure you use a bit of water on the edges to seal them good.

Here’s a delicious and easy recipe for Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks that are soft, cheesy, and full of flavor — perfect as a side dish or a snack!

Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (or one packet)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for greasing)

For the Topping:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3-4 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tablespoon garlic powder)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or a blend of mozzarella and cheddar)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
   • In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms.
   • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
   • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
3. Shape the Breadsticks:
   • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
   • Roll the dough out into a rectangle (about 9×13 inches) or use your hands to gently stretch it to fit the pan.
4. Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping:
   • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic (or garlic powder). Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the dough.
   • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
   • Optionally, sprinkle the oregano, parsley, and a pinch of salt for added flavor.
5. Bake the Breadsticks:
   • Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and let the cheesy garlic breadsticks cool for a couple of minutes. Cut them into strips or squares and serve warm.

Tips:

• Make it extra cheesy: Add more mozzarella cheese for a gooier, cheese-filled center.
• Add a kick: Sprinkle some red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy twist.
• Make ahead: You can prepare the dough a day in advance and refrigerate it overnight. Just let it come to room temperature before rolling it out and baking.

These Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks are soft, cheesy, and bursting with garlic flavor—perfect for dipping in marinara sauce, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Air Fryer Cheese Scones are a delightful twist on the classic scone, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon tea treat. These scones are flaky, cheesy, and incredibly easy to make thanks to the air fryer, which gives them a golden-brown crust while keeping the inside soft and tender. Whether you enjoy them plain or with a dollop of butter, these scones are sure to impress your family and friends.

Preparation Time
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10-12 minutes
Total Time: 25-27 minutes
Intensity Level
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 8 scones
Ingredients
For the Cheese Scones
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup (100g) shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, or your favorite cheese)
3/4 cup (180ml) milk (or buttermilk)
1 large egg (for egg wash, optional)
Equipment Needed
Air fryer
Mixing bowl
Baking sheet or air fryer basket
Rolling pin (optional)
Knife or pastry cutter
Grater (for cheese)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures that the air fryer reaches the right temperature for even cooking.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper (if using). Whisk together until well combined.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for achieving that flaky texture in the scones.

Step 4: Add the Cheese
Stir in the shredded cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 5: Add the Milk
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk. Gently mix until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the dough is slightly sticky.

Step 6: Shape the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it forms a cohesive ball. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. You can use a rolling pin for this, but it’s not necessary.

Step 7: Cut the Scones
Using a sharp knife or a scone cutter, cut the dough into 8 wedges or rounds. If you prefer smaller scones, you can cut them into more pieces. Place the scones on a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured baking sheet.

Step 8: Optional Egg Wash
If you’d like a golden finish on your scones, beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the scones. This step is optional but adds a lovely sheen.

Step 9: Air Fry the Scones
Carefully place the scones in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 10: Cool and Serve
Once cooked, remove the scones from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm, plain, or with butter, cream, or your favorite spread.

Storage
Store any leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in the air fryer for a few minutes at 300°F (150°C) until warmed through.

1 head garlic, halved
3/4 cup dry orzo
1 parmesan rind (optional for added flavor)

Remove the skillet from the oven, add the orzo, and pour in 1/2 cup of the remaining broth. Return to the oven and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, until the orzo is al dente. If you prefer more broth, add the remaining 1-2 1/2 cups during this time.
