Cheeseburger Tacos with Cauliflower Buffalo Wings.
Cheeseburger Tacos with Cauliflower Buffalo Wings. I took two zero-carb tortillas and pressed 1/4 lb of 90/10 grass-fed Angus beef onto them. I seasoned this with some Chicago Steak Seasoning. This went, beef down, on my high-heat Blackstone Griddle for a couple minutes. At the same time I grilled up some onions and jalapenos. And while this happened, I chopped up some dill pickles and mixed it with some mustard and ketchup. This was my sauce. Then they were flipped. The now exposed crispy beef was then adorned with some Tilimok Cheddar Jack and the onions and peppers. This was topped with the sauce. Earlier I floret-ted some cauliflower, par boiled it for 4 minutes. I did a mix of flour, salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. I added a bit of A2 milk to...
Pork Chop with Sweet Spanish Paprika Cauliflower and Corn
While on its face this is an air fried pork chop, the star is not the chop…which did turn out great. It’s the Air-fried tumbled Sweet Spanish Paprika Cauliflower, and adjacently flavored sweet corn. The pork chop is dried, brushed with olive oil and seasoned with my “Don’s Rub.” Which is salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne, for the most part. It was REALLY thick, so air fried for 40-ish minutes until my thermometer hit 165°. Then set to rest. But here’s the magic. I coated a diced/floret-ted cauliflower with olive oil, sweet Spanish paprika, Himalayan salt, black pepper and Flat Iron peppers (you can use crushed red pepper). This went into a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes and then was removed to cool. With...
Air-Fried Hamburger
While I’ve had my air fryer for almost 4 years now, I’ve never cooked a hamburger in it. Today’s the day! I took a frozen 1/4 LB patty I created a couple weeks ago out of the freezer and let it de-thaw for about an hour. I seasoned it with salt and pepper and put it into the air fryer at 400° for eight minutes. Meanwhile I mixed some Duke’s Mayo with some Dijon mustard and some Worcestershire sauce. This would be my burger sauce. At 8 minutes I flipped the burger and laid a slice of Black Forest Ham next to it, and cooked both 2 more minutes. I then put a slice of Cheddar cheese on the burger and put a sliced Bollilo (available at Food Lion) bun on the second rack and cooked everything for 1 more minute. Construction: Bottom bun. Sauce....
Pickled Chicken Wings
I’ve been seeing this online…pickled wings, but have largely ignored this. But when it came to do my first batch of wings in my new air fryer rotisserie tumbler, I wanted to do something new. A wing I haven’t cooked before, and a way I have not cooked a wing before. I have no shortage of pickle juice in my life. I cook with pickles and I snack on pickles. I have 4 large jars of pickles in my life at any time. Usually Kosher Dills, as that is my favorite. So today we dumped a pound of chicken wings into a bowl, poured all the juice I could spare on top. I added some dill. We covered it up, tossed it around and let it sit for 6 hours. We did turn it on occasion, maybe twice. Then we put them in a colander and let the dry a bit, about 5 minutes....
Sweet & Savory Watermelon Bites
For a friend’s dinner party we prepared these Sweet & Savory Watermelon Bites. They’re fairly easy to make and taste fantastic!

Chick Pea Air Fryer Basket Tumble
The Great Chick Pea Air Fryer Basket Tumbler experiment turned out GREAT! Give me a bowl of popcorn and a good movie and I’m happy. Even if the corn was popped in olive oil, I do use butter and garlic powder for seasoning. So lately I’ve been air frying chickpeas with a variety of seasonings. But tonight I came across a game-changer. I have this new basket tumbler that I got for health-er fries and chips as well as veggies. Simply enough, I drained a can of chick peas, coated them with olive oil, seasoned them with harissa seasoning and a little salt and put them in the tumbler basket and into the air fryer for 30 minutes at 370°. Perfect snack! Great crunchy bite and lot’s of flavor. Looking forward to a Cajun an Tajin...
