Tuna Fish Patties
This is a great recipe I came up with to get rid of leftover bread. I generally use the contents of my vegetable drawer here so I kind of throw in whatever I have at the time, so you can use your own judgment. They taste really nice when eaten with sour cream or low-fat mayo or even on their own - though my husband prefers ketchup. I generally use this recipe as a guideline, so have fun with it!
Salmon Puffs
Delightful salmon puffs filled with feta cheese and wrapped in pastry. I have used spinach and cooked tiny shrimp instead of salmon in this recipe.
Bang Bang Wings
These bang bang wings are air fried, making them that much more awesome! They're tossed in a perfectly balanced sauce with a sweet heat that lingers in a way that makes you want more. You could also grill, fry or roast them before tossing them in the sauce.
