Air Fryer Hearts of Palm Sticks
I'd never seen a recipe for air fryer hearts of palm sticks but I'd seen artichoke hearts and mozzarella sticks fried in the air fryer, so I thought...why not? What a pleasant surprise! They take on the look of mozzarella sticks but have a tangy, meaty texture in the center. I serve them with marinara sauce for dipping, and ranch salad dressing would also be great.
Carrot-Apple Muffins
Cooler weather has arrived, and as always, my mind wanders to fall produce with apples at the top of the list. These tender, lightly sweetened, moist muffins taste like carrot cake, spice cake, and apple cake combined. These muffins freeze well and can be quickly reheated in the microwave on a low temperature for a quick breakfast.
