Air Fryer Spanakopita

The classic Greek appetizer spanakopita can easily be made in the air fryer.

Tuna and Artichoke Wraps

These tuna and artichoke wraps are so tasty, you might want to eat the filling with just a fork over lettuce, but no matter what, make sure you add the French-fried onions on top. Tuna and artichoke combine with cucumber, tomatoes, a zing of lemon, and crispy onions—you’ll want to come back for more of these simple wraps.

Chimichurri Roasted Potatoes

These chimichurri potatoes are a great side dish all year round. They stand up to grilled and roasted meats very well. Sometimes I add a chopped cherry pepper to the chimichurri to add a little heat and color.

Thai Basil Rolls with Hoisin-Peanut Sauce

Shrimp and pork - layered with rice noodles, bean sprouts, and herbs - all rolled together in a fresh rice wrapper and served with a hoisin-peanut sauce for dipping. Great for an appetizer or lunch!

Seafood Creole

This is a spicy sauce similar to etouffee. By adding seafood, it becomes Seafood Creole. Due to the seasoning mix, it is quite spicy. This can be controlled by adjusting the amount of the peppers. I like mine full strength, but for the wife I have to cut the peppers down to 1/8 teaspoon each. This recipe can easily be doubled or quadrupled for large affairs. It goes great with rice, garlic bread, a green salad and a good white wine, such as white Merlot, white Cabernet, Johannisburg Riesling, or Gewurztraminer. Use your favorite firm, white fish fillets in this recipe. Canned diced tomatoes can be used in place of chopping fresh tomatoes.
