Everyone in our house loves sausages peppers and onions. I usually do them on a sheet pan in the oven but this time I wanted to try them in the air fryer. These did not disappoint at all. In fact, the sausages had such a crisp skin and still so juicy. This is a definite win. I used both sweet and hot sausages but you can use any kind you like. For the vegetables, I have read some blogs and recipes that say to add the peppers and onions at the same time as you put the sausages in. This is not the case for my air fryer. I added my vegetables about half way through the sausage cooking time.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 package sweet link sausages
  • 1 package hot link sausages
  • 1 onion, sliced into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 orange bell pepper, sliced into strips

DIRECTIONS

Pre heat your air fryer to 375 degrees. Add the sausages and air fry for 15 minutes. Shake the basket or rotate the sausages and add your sliced vegetables to the basket with the sausages. Air fry for 10-12 more minutes. Remove from air fryer, let cool for just a couple minutes and serve warm.

I can’t believe this is the first dog treat or dog food recipe I have shared with you as I have been cooking for our fur babies for a number of years now. This is a healthy and very easy treat for your favorite dog. Zelda is just a little dog so I gave her half a bone for her to taste test. She took one bite and gobbled it right up but then started playing with the other half of it and proceeded to try and hide the treat. That’s a good sign as that’s what she does with her favorite store bought treats. I’d say she enjoyed them!

Meet Zelda!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 mashed banana (1/2 cup)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and knead until a dough ball forms. If it’s too sticky add more flour. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface. You want the dough to be a bit less than a half of an inch. Cut out with bone shaped cookie cutters or whatever you have. Place the cut out on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes. Mine cooked 18 minutes.

This recipe made 8 cookies using the bone cookie cutter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

I made this dish for Robby so I used a gluten free pasta but this is great using regular pasta as well. This dish has all the components of a bacon cheeseburger without the bun. Easy to make and delicious. We can’t get to our grill with the snow and really cold weather, so this was a great way to get those flavors and staying warm inside! Nice and hearty to fill you up, Add a salad and dinner is done!

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 ounces gluten-free pasta or any pasta you like.
  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 can 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 Tablespoons yellow prepared mustard
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Prepare macaroni according to package directions for al Dante. Drain into a colander and set aside. While macaroni is cooking, sauté the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Add the beef to the skillet, brown and crumble beef until no longer pink. Add tomatoes, ketchup,mustard, chili powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook about five minutes.

We have had a crazy couple of weeks around here so I have some super simple recipes coming up for you this week. I was doing a lot of baking last week and looked in the fridge for a little something for the boys around here and saw kielbasa and Bacon and a trusty bottle of BBQ sauce. I knew exactly what I was going to do. You guessed it, this amazing little gem was born! I air fried them, but they could easily be baked or even grilled in the summer!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 fully cooked kielbasa ring
  • 4-5 slices of thick cut bacon
  • 1/2 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce

DIRECTIONS

Cut the kielbasa link the same size as the width of the bacon. My kielbasa gave me 8-9 pieces. Cut the bacon slices large enough to wrap around the kielbasa pieces and secure the bacon with a toothpick. Do this for each of the kielbasa pieces. Slather the BBQ sauce all over the kielbasa, bacon pieces, and place in your air fryer.

Air fry at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until the bacon is done until your deisired crispness. Let cool for just a couple minutes, remove the toothpicks and serve warm.

Enjoy!

We absolutely LOVE jalapeño poppers. I make them often and we also order them when we are out. I usually stuff them with spicy sausage but decided to change it up a bit with some seasoning in the cream cheese mixture and the addition of the sweet barbecue sauce. I used my air fryer but you can easily bake these as well. This was the perfect sweet and spicy combination, these just might be my all-time favorite jalapeño poppers. We loved them so much I made them two days in a row with none left over!

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 jalapeño’s
  • 4 ounces of cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sharpe cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 8 slices thick cut bacon
  • 1/2 cup of honey BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees. Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and veins. Set aside. In a small bowl combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder and mix well. Spread the cream cheese mixture into the body of each jalapeño half. Cut the bacon slices in half and taking one piece of bacon at a time wrap the half piece of bacon around one of the stuffed jalapeños and secure each end with a toothpick. Do this for each jalapeño half.

In another small bowl combine the barbecue sauce and brown sugar. Brush each of the bacon wrapped jalapeños with the barbecue mixture. Place the jalapeños in your fryer in a single layer and air fry at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes depending on how crispy you want your bacon. Remove from fryer and let cool for just a couple minutes. Serve warm.

Enjoy!
