Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Sriracha Mayo
This delicious appetizer is prepared quickly and easily in the air fryer and served with a spicy Sriracha mayo dipping sauce. I use the smaller bay scallops for this. If you are using jumbo scallops, it will require a longer cooking time and longer strips of bacon.
Turkey-Pesto Toasterdilla
Toaster quesadillas are all the rage and are simple to make once you get the hang of it. The key is not to overstuff them. They need to be as flat as possible so they don't get stuck in the toaster slots. This recipe feature turkey and pesto.
Crispy Tilapia Fish Tacos with Slaw
Best fish tacos ever. Anybody who eats these is going to tell you to go open your own restaurant immediately. I've had plenty of people tell me "I don't like fish, but these tacos are amazing!" My secret in this recipe is the diet ginger ale. A lot of people use ginger beer, but I like the diet ginger ale because I find the batter is lighter and more crispy with all the flavor you get from ginger beer. Make 'em, eat 'em, love 'em, add them to your rotation. Top with jalapeno slices, if desired.
