Pour Yourself Some Coffee And Let's Catch Up

Growing up, I remember watching people gather at each other's houses. My grandparents would have friends over that they hadn't seen in a while, and their house would fill with the smell of coffee as they sat for hours catching up. I love going catch up with my Mawmaw every time I go back to Louisiana. I can't have coffee anymore so I'll just pour my Teeccino as we catch up. ..

It's been a while since I worked on my blog. Life...was life. My son had surgery. His recovery went so much better than expected. Then we got a phone call from pathology saying something didn't come back normal and they needed to do more testing. Of course, I did the absolute worst thing possible and Googled the long words they found (seriously, don't do this), and i struggled through the next week thinking about the possibilities. Thankfully, the further testing led to the absolute best news that he is perfectly healthy.

Speaking of healthy, I've been working on helping my husband get healthier. My son's health scare had all of us thinking about our health. First step, cut out soda. He hasn't had one in over a week (It use to be 3 a day) and only had one a week for a few weeks before that.

Step 2....we got a bigger air fryer y'all! I am in love with the Emeril Lagasse Air Fryer 360. I will definitely be posting recipes for airfryers and dehydrators on here. We made an entire rotisserie chicken. I use it to lightly toast my English muffin. But...the best thing of all....after over a year of depriving myself of the most wonderful carb God ever put onto this Earth... I can have french fries again!!!!

For french fries, the recipes advise to use 1 tbs of oil. This definitely isn't a bad option, but I was still worried because my GERD reacts to so much. So, good ole spray oil to the rescue. It uses way less.

Step 1: Thinly cut up a potato ( I leave the skin)
Step 2: Lay the potato slices in the air fryer basket, making sure it is only in one layer.
Step 3: Air fry at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
Step 4: Season. I just use salt for mine.

So simple and delicious! I pretty much devour them as they come out of the air fryer. This picture was from the first time, but I've gotten better at cutting them just so so that they puff up while cooking too now.
