The Weekend Dish: 1/4/2025
Happy first Saturday of 2025!
It’s a new year, a new month, and we’re on the tail end of the kids’ Christmas break :( I want to keep having slow days hanging out with everyone at home, but alas we’re on the brink of re-entry. I hope you have a wonderful weekend soaking up whatever brings you joy!

What I Bookmarked This Week
Cannot wait to try this copycat recipe for heavenly hunks!
I’ve seen this air fryer chicken everywhere, I’m vowing to try it this month, though I might sub chicken thighs, I’ll keep you posted.
Perhaps I could get my family on board with these garlic parmesan roasted Brussels sprouts?
This hot Italian dip sounds like it would be a huge hit.
This creamy pasta salad is unlike any I’ve had, and it sounds SO good!
Have a delicious weekend!
The air fryer chicken is great – I made it for the first time last week and we loved it. I used chicken tenders and it was much more crispy than other recipes I’ve tried. I’m still learning how to use my air fryer. So far I love my ninja. I would recommend if you’re cooking for a family look for a double not single.
Happy New Year! I definitely recommend that air fryer chicken recipe. I’ve made it several times. Now I just keep the seasoning mix in a jar. It’s easy and very tasty.

I am winging each day learning how to walk again, and do basic things, after 9 hours of AORTA BLOCK OPEN HEART SURGERY I lost my kidneys, become pernioius anemic. down to 94 pounds after 4 weeks of kidney dylisis. You never know what you have until you have lost it.
