Nacho fries may be on the Taco Bells menu one minute... gone the next, so I created an at-home version AND did it using the air fryer. If you are still inclined to deep-fry, double the amount of seasoning as most will get lost in the hot oil.

- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons chili powder , or more to taste
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.13 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.13 teaspoons garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 jars nacho Cheddar cheese sauce , 15 ounce

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

Easy Lentil Soup
My mom made this tomato lentil soup often when I was growing up, and I continued to make it for myself in college. As a busy college student, I don't have much time to eat, let alone cook. This soup is quick and easy to make, and it's incredibly good for you. Even though it's delicious, it's a little dull in color — make it more appealing by garnishing it with freshly chopped parsley or chives and a lemon slice!
Cinnamon Chicken
Chicken breasts baked with cinnamon and other seasonings. This is a recipe that I created while working at a flight kitchen. We had cinnamon in the spice collection that nobody used for anything, so I decided to try it on chicken and the flight crews and my family loved it!
Cheese Drop Biscuits
These Cheddar drop biscuits are easy, fast, and very tasty. Great for a little extra for supper or camping trips.
