    Massive russet potatoes four Ezoic varieties

    Edoic olive oil, salt

    Dip it in butter, bitter cream, cheese, chives, bacon pieces, or your favorite toppings—the choice is yours!

    What to do:

    Begin by washing the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Set aside. Dry them with a transparent dish towel.

    To prevent the potatoes from exploding during cooking, use a fork to puncture many holes around each one.

    To make the skin crispy, coat the potatoes evenly with olive oil, being sure to cover all surfaces. Then, season with salt. Add a liberal amount of salt to season both sides.

    To ensure consistent frying and crispiness, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for around 5 minutes.

    After the air fryer is heated, carefully stack the seasoned potatoes in the basket, making sure they don’t overlap, so air can circulate evenly. This is how you make Ezoic Air Fry Potatoes.

    Put the potatoes in an air fryer and cook for 35 to 40 minutes, turning them over halfway through. The potatoes are done when they are soft on the inside and slightly browned on the outside; the exact amount of time to cook them depends on their size and thickness.

    Toss and Top: After the potatoes are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and set aside to cool for a few minutes. To make the potatoes fluffy, cut them lengthwise and then fluff them inside with a fork.

    Top the Air Fryer Baked Potatoes with your favorite toppings—butter, bitter cream, shredded cheese, chives, bacon pieces, or anything else you like—and serve them hot.

    Ah, creamy butternut squash soup – it’s like a warm hug on those brisk Midwestern fall days. This humble yet delicious soup has been a staple in our family for generations. The butternut squash, sweet and tender, pairs perfectly with a touch of cream and a hint of nutmeg to bring out its natural sweetness. It’s a recipe born out of simplicity and nurtured by the lands of the Midwest, where squash grows abundantly in our gardens. It’s a perfect dish to warm you up and bring a bit of the harvest season into your home.
    This creamy butternut squash soup pairs wonderfully with a fresh crusty bread, perfect for dipping and soaking up that rich, velvety texture. For a lighter meal, serve it with a simple mixed green salad with a tangy vinaigrette to balance the sweetness of the soup. If you’re feeling indulgent, a side of crispy bacon crumbles or a dollop of sour cream on top can add a delightful twist.
    Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
    Servings: 6
    Ingredients

    1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
    1 medium onion, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
    1 cup heavy cream
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    Directions
    1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    2. Toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it out on a baking sheet.
    3. Roast the squash in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through the cooking time.
    4. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
    5. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
    6. Add the roasted butternut squash to the pot, then pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
    7. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it is smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can use a regular blender, blending in batches if necessary.
    8. Stir in the heavy cream and nutmeg, then taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
    9. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes, then serve hot.
    Variations & Tips
    For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk, which will give the soup a subtle tropical flavor. Adding a pinch of cayenne pepper can impart a bit of heat for those who like it spicy. If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, vegetable broth works just as well as chicken broth. Also, toasted pumpkin seeds make a delightful and crunchy garnish for a bit of extra texture.

  • The Inspiration Behind Lemon Cheesecake Mouss

    The Inspiration Behind Lemon Cheesecake Mouss

    Ingredients:
    Crust:
    3/4 cup crushed graham crackers (6 full sheets)
    2 Tbsp (26g) granulated sugar
    3 Tbsp (42g) salted butter, melted
    Mousse:

    2 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
    1 1/2 Tbsp water
    1 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
    1 1/2 cups (355ml) heavy cream
    1 cup (110g) powdered sugar, divided
    Yellow food coloring (optional)
    12 oz (340g) cream cheese, softened
    1 (10 oz) jar lemon curd (tested with Dickenson’s)
    Sweetened whipped cream , lemon wedges, blueberries and mint for garnish (optional)
    Instructions:
    In a mixing bowl whisk together graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in butter and stir until evenly moistened. Divide mixture among 8 – 10 dessert cups and lightly press into an even layer, set aside.
    Pour lemon juice and water into a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin evenly over top, let rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whip heavy cream in a medium mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
    Add in 1/3 cup of the powdered sugar, tint with yellow food coloring if desired and whip until stiff (but not lumpy) peaks form (shake cream from beaters, no need to clean).
    In a separate large mixing bowl whip cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Mix lemon curd and remaining 2/3 cup powdered sugar into cream cheese mixture.
    Heat rested gelatin mixture in the microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Whisk for 1 minute to thoroughly dissolve gelatin, then let cool 3 minutes (no longer or it may start to set then you could end up with little lumps in the mousse).
    While mixing cream cheese mixture with hand mixer, slowly pour in gelatin mixture then blend until thoroughly combined.
    Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture to lighten, then add remaining whipped cream and gently fold until combined.
    Spoon or pipe mixture into dessert cups over graham cracker layer. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours (or up to 1 day ahead if desired) to set. Garnish as desired. Serve cold.
    Enjoy!

    Picture this: A sunny Saturday afternoon, you want a refreshing treat that’s not loaded with all the things that make you keep your gym membership on auto-renew. That’s where pineapple whip floats into the scene, like a tropical breeze in your backyard. It’s a light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet dessert that’ll transport you straight to the islands without a plane ticket. Originating from the Dole Plantation in Hawaii, this dreamy treat has become a theme park favorite. Making it at home is a breeze and it’s a healthier alternative to ice cream that still satisfies that sweet tooth – perfect for those times when you want to indulge just a little.
    Pineapple whip is delightful on its own, but if you’re feeling fancy, serve it with a side of crisp vanilla wafer cookies or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for an extra tropical twist. And for the adults in the room, a splash of rum can turn this into a fun boozy dessert.
    Pineapple Whip
    Servings: 2-4
    Ingredients

    – 4 cups frozen pineapple chunks
    – 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or substitute with any milk of your choice)
    – 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust according to sweet preference)
    – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Directions
    1. Add the frozen pineapple, coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract to a high-power blender or food processor.
    2. Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If your mixture is having a hard time blending, add a bit more milk, but be sure to add sparingly; we want this to be whip, not soup!
    3. Once you achieve that dreamy, rich consistency, give it a quick taste. If it needs a touch more sweetness, now’s your chance to adjust.
    4. Scoop out the pineapple whip into bowls, or if you want to get snazzy, use a piping bag with a star tip to swirl it into glasses.
    5. Serve immediately, or if you’d like it a bit firmer, pop it into the freezer for about 15-20 minutes, then serve.
    Variations & Tips
    – For an extra zing, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to your blend. Lime and pineapple are like a power couple in the flavor world.
    – If you’re cutting back on sugar, skip the honey, and let the natural sweetness of the pineapple shine.
    – Not into coconut milk? No problem! Almond milk, cashew milk, or even dairy work just as well. Each one brings a little something different to the table.
    – Let’s talk toppings! Aside from the toasted coconut flakes and a splash of rum, you could also garnish with chopped nuts or a cherry on top for that classic sundae vibe.
    – If you’ve got any leftovers (though I doubt it!), pour the mixture into popsicle molds, freeze, and enjoy a handheld version later!
    So there you have it, friends – an island escape in a cup. Pineapple whip: because life deserves sweet, frosty moments without the side of guilt. Happy whipping!

  • Icebox Cookie Cheesecake

    Icebox Cookie Cheesecake

    The original recipe came from Grandma’s Great Desserts. It was submitted by Perlene H from Lynden, WA. The original recipe is made in a spring-form pan. I wanted to feed more so I increased the filling by a third. For the crust, I check a box of graham cracker crumbs for the directions for a no-bake crust for a 13 x 9-in pan. Also the original recipe calls for making a glaze with 4 squares (1 oz ea) of semisweet chocolate, 1/2 c whipping cream and 1/2 tsp vanilla. This part I ended up omitting, although, it is a nice topping for this delicious dessert. Below are my changes.

    INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED
    3 c. chocolate graham cracker crumbs (2 sleeves from a 3 sleeved box)
    1/2 c. sugar
    12 T. butter, melted
    ——
    2 c. whipping cream
    4 pkg. (8 ox each) cream cheese, softened
    1 1/3 c. sugar
    1 package (1 lb 2 oz pkg) of Oreos, each cookie broken in thirds or fourths

    DIRECTIONS
    Combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 c sugar and 12 T of melted butter. Press into a 13 x 9-in pan. Chill.

    Whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form; refrigerate.

    In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 1/3 c. sugar; blend thoroughly. Fold in the broken Oreos along with the chilled whipped cream.

    Spread filling evenly into crust, smoothing top and spreading to edges. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

    Egg Yolks: In a large bowl, combine the sugar and egg yolks and beat until light and fluffy. It should take that long.
