Air-Fried Cinnamon and Sugar Doughnuts
I love hot cinnamon doughnuts, but don't like or have all the oil to make the recipes. This version uses an air fryer. By using less oil, I can use tastier oil, thus my choice is butter. Serve and eat hot. Like traditional doughnuts they are much better hot than cold.
Chicken Lemon Linguine
Enjoy a bright, simple dish of pasta with this chicken lemon linguine, topped with a buttery lemon sauce.
Ruth's Red Lentil and Potato Soup
I made up this lentil potato soup recipe one chilly weeknight to stave off a cold. I was surprised at how delicious the soup was! The filé powder makes it nice and thick, but it may be left out. A warm loaf of sourdough bread is all you need to complete your meal!
