I, like most people on the planet, received an Air Fryer for Christmas. I’ve been playing with it over the past week and eating A LOT of cauliflower recipes. The first few tries fell flat, as I wanted a crunchy cauliflower exterior with a juicy interior, but was getting ‘barely’ toasty instead. I think I finally found the balance for the extra crunch, and I used Spike Hot & Spicy gourmet seasoning to kick it up a notch. (more…)

Florida was having a cold snap and the temperatures were ranging from the low 40s to the low 60s during the day. I was not prepared and didn’t pack warm clothes!
