This is a great side dish, using only a handful of ingredients and made in a fraction of the time. I have been making this quick and easy side dish for years now. Depending on my mood and availability of ingredients, I switch up the seasoning, but the recipe’s core remains the same. Which is cubed up potatoes and onions, tossed in oil, and air-fried till they are crispy. I like to serve this right out of the air frier when it’s crispy on the outside and fudgy on the inside....

Dicing the Chicken In testing this slow cooker chicken and rice casserole recipe, the best results were with diced chicken. It kept the chicken from drying out as we give the rice enough time to cook and become tender. To do this, place the dry rice in a metal strainer and rinse it with water until the water runs clear. The water coming off the rice will initially look cloudy and will eventually run clean....

First, fully whisk the flour into the butter until you don’t see any white streaks. Next, add the liquid (that you pulled from the crockpot) slowly....

We took down our Christmas decorations yesterday. We threw ourselves another little dance party, it was a good way to cheer me up instead of being sad that Christmas is over. (This dance party was a little more classy: Pink Martini, no N’Sync.) And then we looked around and realized how depressingly barren our house is. We have zero replacements for our Christmas decorations. Anyone have any awesome DIY ideas?...

I accidentally put my T-shirt on inside out and backwards the other day. I noticed it and thought, oh, I’ll change that in a minute… minutes turned into hours and then Eric had to be the one to tell me that I definitely still looked like a toddler who had dressed themselves for the first time. I guess I should be grateful he saved me before I left the house like that!...

Since chicken breasts tend to be quite thick, the simple process of cutting them into cutlets has several benefits when preparing recipes. First, it helps ensure even cooking, as thinner cutlets cook more uniformly and quickly, preventing the outside from drying out while the inside cooks through. This also reduces overall cooking time, making weeknight meals faster to prepare. Chicken cutlets are perfect for dishes like Chicken Piccata or salads where thinner pieces are ideal for sautéing or frying and result in perfectly cooked tender chicken....
