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.

Newfoundland Jigg's Dinner
Jigg's dinner is a traditional Newfoundland meal, comparable to corned beef and cabbage. Newfoundland is Canada's easternmost province and is also an island in the Atlantic. Make sure that the split peas are securely tied into a cloth bag (pudding bag), a dish towel, or cheesecloth. If they escape you will not have dinner — you will have pea soup!
Plum Muffins
These plum muffins, made with fresh chopped plums, almonds, and a sprinkle of candied ginger on top, are sweet-tart, moist, and delicious, a great way to enjoy plum season. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea in the morning, or with a glass of milk for an afternoon snack.
Bat Wings
I take bat wings to Halloween parties, angel wings to Christmas parties, and so on. They are just fab and easy with only 3 ingredients. My boyfriend loves to tweak this recipe. However, I just love this simple basic recipe and I hope you do, too. It's better if you can marinate this overnight. I put it in gallon sealable bag and keep in refrigerator then pour in pan the next day.
