It was a very exciting Christmas for me this year!

My 2020 Christmas list consisted of a few different items, but the number one thing I was hoping to get was an air fryer. Brain has been bragging about his for MONTHS, and I've only heard good things about them, so I was thrilled when I received one from my mom on Christmas morning. I finally broke it out on New Year's Eve, and we ended up using it to cook frozen mac & cheese bites and cheese wontons. From that moment on, I knew my life had changed for the better.

I am OBSESSED with my new air fryer. I had no idea what I was missing! If you would've told me that one day I would be this excited about a kitchen appliance, I never would've believed you. But now, I could use some help.

I know air fryers are great for reheating leftovers or cooking frozen foods, but what else can I use it to make? Are there actual meals I can cook that aren't frozen? A friend of mine told me that she uses her air fryer to make her own croutons! She says she cuts up bread into small pieces and then drizzles olive oil and seasoning on each piece. She then cooks them at 360 degrees for about five minutes, and says they are SO GOOD that she will never buy croutons ever again!

Do you have a favorite air fryer recipe? I would love to hear it! Leave yours in the comments below.
