Garlic Bread Spread
This garlic bread spread recipe makes tasty homemade garlic bread that goes great with most Italian dishes. I usually make it with chicken Parmesan. Delicious!
Air Fryer Lemon Freezer Cookies
These cookies are delicious on their own but I like the extra zing you get from icing them with a lemon-powdered sugar mixture. Prep and freeze the cookie dough (will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months!) and when you're having a craving, slice and pop them in your air fryer and they will be ready in less than 10 minutes.
Taco Salad Casserole
This taco salad casserole features well-seasoned ground beef over crushed tortilla chips and refried beans, baked with a cheesy top. The salad component is added over each serving, a really fun way to make a taco salad.
