Frosted Banana Bars

Dolmas (Stuffed Grape Leaves)

These dolmas are made with what may seem like a strange combination of spices, but this is a wonderful, delicate traditional Turkish dish with a twist. They are traditionally served chilled, but you can serve them warm if desired. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over them before serving.

Air Fryer Shrimp Fried Rice

This fried rice is so deliciously savory, nobody will believe you made it with an air fryer. It's full of toasted, crunchy rice bits that add a great contrast to the chewy interior. The shrimp is tender and juicy, and the bites of peas burst in your mouth. Finish it up with Sriracha mayo and fresh green onion to compliment everything perfectly. If you don't have shrimp on hand, you can also use leftover chicken or steak.

Instant Pot Buckwheat Minestra

My husband and I eat soup at every supper. This is a vegan soup that I make at least 3 times a month. We love it that much. It makes a large quantity. I usually freeze half. During fall and winter, I use pumpkin or butternut squash. In the summer, I use green zucchini. I add lots of flavorful ingredients, so we never add salt.

Traditional Pot Stickers

This pot sticker recipe is from the area of Northern China. Wonton wrappers are stuffed with finely chopped vegetables and pork, then fried and served with a spicy dipping sauce.

Bang Bang Chicken Skewers

These bang bang chicken skewers are a little bit spicy and a little bit sweet, basted in an easy Thai chili and sriracha sauce, then grilled. I like to serve them over rice but they are also good on their own as appetizers. They are easily cooked in an air fryer if Mother Nature decides grilling isn't an option.
