yes. i invested in a counter-top zoodler, makes all different shapes and is super easy to use. they are easier/quicker to cook than a boiling pot of pasta but they don't really compare for me. they are very good, just different.

Late to the thread here.

Katie and I began cooking heavily at home at the beginning fo the year. We have both lost substantial weight and are continuing to do so. Years of prednisone post transplant and I was creeping into diabetic range regarding my blood sugar. Recent tests show I am reversing that trend between diet, weight loss, and a medication that helps with blood sugar. Early signs are very promising but this is a lifestyle change, so there's no going back. I am eating low carb, but not no carb. High fiber, high protein, and lots of veggies.

I really got into cooking after my divorce in 2016 and being a little bit of a geek, decked out with high tech food equipment.

We now have a sous vide, an instant pot with air fryer attachment, an indoor grill/air fryer, a George Forman Grill, and of course the normal stovetop and oven, microwave, but also a convection oven/broiler/toaster.

The other night I made Honey Dijon Pork Chops in the instant pot along with some broccoli and cauliflower rice. We cheated with the cauliflower rice and got a steam bag.

I have an Instant Pot. I saw that the model with the air fryer was recently released. Have you tried using that function yet?

During the quarantine, I´ve really only made a whole bunch of cookies. We bought a 50 pound bag of flour so we might as well use it.
So far i´ve made chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, more chocolate chip, and brown sugar cookies. I have also made rice krispies twice because they are delicious. I´m probably going to make sugar cookies today as well.

If anyone has any cookie recipes do tell me! :gj:

I was able to buy the air fryer attachment on Amazon. So I didn't have to buy a whole new unit.

We have used it and it's great. Easier to clean and works as well as our Phillips Air Fryer, which we gave to my parents.

zucchini quiche and avocado toast with a dippy egg. our chickens' eggs make all the difference in cooking!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c9cf2318ff.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b157b3180c.jpg

Ugh. Tried a no-knead ciabatta bread recipe today but the dough was a bit too wet so it turned itself into a focaccia during the second rise. Whoops!


It's still good but if I'd spiced it as a focaccia and brushed the top with olive oil before baking it would be perfect.

French Pancake. Not on my diet, but Katie requested and I'd be lying if I said I didn't indulge.

I’ll post shortly. Not sure if the name is 100% correct. Been in the family for a while.
