This whiskey slush recipe is nice for large gatherings or to have on hand in warm weather.
Air Fryer Salmon Nuggets
Crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside, these salmon nuggets are finished off with a sweet chipotle-maple drizzle. These make a great appetizer and are also tasty served over greens. Try and find center-cut salmon filets that are at least 1-inch thick. I usually buy extra salmon, and trim off the thinner outer edges, saving for another use. I like to use a Misto® sprayer with my own oil, but feel free to use regular cooking spray.
Mom's Pumpkin Pie
This is the pumpkin pie that my mother has made for years. It is a rich pie with just the right amount of spices.
