I have to confess, one of the reasons I read your log is for the food porn. I just now finished a 1200 Kcal breakfast and I’m hungry again after that last post…

Practical question, though. Wife just bought an air fryer, and we’ve only cooked French fries in it so far, but they didn’t all cook evenly. Do we need to spread them out and put fewer in the basket per batch?

I think most everyone comes for the food porn. =)~

So, yes, food can’t be overcrowded in the air fryer. Make sure to open and shake them about 1/2 way through the cooking time or even a few times. I had to upgrade to a larger size air fryer because the tiny basket on the one I had just wasn’t big enough. You can also buy a rack to put in there to double the space.

The Air Fryer is great for more than just fries. Cook meat, veggies, baked goods, etc. You can use baking dishes and silicone cups; just about anything you can put in the oven. I just experiment with it or look things up on the internet. Look at “best air fryer recipes” and see if anything strikes your fancy.

I enjoy all of the trials of our best recipe searches!!!

Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi. I love this stuff. I try to only eat 1/2 the bag. But, you can eat the entire bag for only 350 calories.

Grilled sirloin steak, cauliflower gnocchi w/Vodka sauce, green beans

Made my eggs in the waffle maker. 1 egg + 3 serv liquid whites, spinach, ham. Came out thick & fluffy. I spread on some whipped cream cheese, folded it in 1/2 and ate it like a sandwich.
(it did overflow though. so, i’ll use a bit less whites next time)

@jamie1888

Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi.

The wife (estranged) went to pick this up and couldn’t find it. She asked a staff member and he said, “We don’t put it out because it starts fights, but I can get it for you from the back, two bag limit.”

Only on Long Island will Trader Joe’s customers get into fist fights over cauliflower gnocchi.

[The_Myth]

@conigs333

Maybe your Trader Joe’s is different in Ny than ours.

Yeah, so I have a place in Santa Cruz, and Cali is way different than NY.

Way different.

That’s so funny! I picked up 5 bags of it yesterday and didn’t have to knock anyone out! lol

[conigs333]

Yup. Bad choice to come out to Cali.
