Salmon Croquettes

These crispy salmon croquettes are made with fresh salmon, but they cook quickly. The filling has onion, red bell pepper, and fresh parsley which adds so much flavor. Delicious as an appetizer with tartar sauce for dipping.

Mom's Fabulous Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuit Crust

This chicken pot pie with biscuits is easy to make with leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken for a cozy, comforting dinner. It's full of fresh vegetables for added flavor but you can use frozen vegetables for even quicker prep.

Air Fryer Brats

Forget about the weather and cooking outside with these air fryer brats! There’s no reason to fire up the grill when you can get crispy brats this juicy and tender with perfect texture from an air fryer. We like ours on a hoagie bun with German mustard and sauerkraut.

10 Layer Dip

This 10 layer dip really has 10 distinct layers, including refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and jalapeno, just to name a few. It's no-cook, so all you have to do is assemble it. Serve with sturdy corn chips.

Cinnamon-Sugar Popcorn

This sweet popcorn recipe makes a lot, so either invite your friends or store it in an airtight container for later. I first tried this when I was visiting my sister in West Virginia. After trying it, I loved it. However, I neglected to ask her for the recipe. Ten years later, I have it, and I still love it! The kids can help make it if you use an air popper (which I did to reduce fat and calories — there's enough in the butter). I used my deep-dish lasagna pan to cook it in the oven. You can use a roasting pan or a large, deep-dish pan.
