Let Me Tell You About My Air Fryer Meatball Phase So, a while back, there was this week when all I could think about was meatballs. Weird, right? But picture this: it’s Tuesday, everyone’s already cranky because of school or work or the neighbor’s dog yapping (again), and I just want to make something hearty, …
The story behind my favorite pork chop fix Oh my word, if I had a dime for every time I made these pork chops (and another dime for every time someone asked for the recipe), I’d at least be able to buy a better pan. True story: the first time I ever tried to bake …
