Summer is still very much underway, but I’d be lying if I denied that I’m looking ahead to the fall! Though this won’t happen for a bit, I’m ready to wear a sweater, eat soup for dinner, and put my fall wreath on the door.

What delicious dinners do you hope to eat this month? Will you be trying any new recipes? If so, I’d love to hear about them!
Oh yummy! I’m still holding out hope that we’ll get more summer as it’s been pretty cool and rainy here.
We will trade you some heat for the cool, rainy weather! 🙂
We are eating lots of leftovers these days in our empty nest! Very different kind of meal planning for me!
Oh, yes, sounds like it!
What kind of air fryer do you have? And what do you like best cooked in it?
We have a COSORI 5.8 qt Air Fryer. I purchased it “Used – Like New” from Amazon Warehouse in order to save a little money. It came with a small dent in the front, but it has always functioned just fine!
We like to use it for cooking chicken fingers (homemade and frozen ones purchased from the store), sweet potato fries, mini pizzas (we use things like biscuit dough or naan bread for the crust and top it with cheese, pepperoni, etc.), zucchini fries, hamburger patties, chicken drumsticks, chicken wings, and asparagus. We recently made steak bites in it, and these turned out really well. There are probably tons of other things that can be prepared in it–I just haven’t tried yet!
Hope that helps!
