CRISPY AIR FRYER TOFU NUGGETS Can we take a moment and thank whoever invented the air fryer because wow we are so lucky 😫 these tofu nuggets are probably my favourite things to make in my air fryer (other than fries, of course) and they’re super simple and flavourful!

  1. Start out by dicing 3 bell peppers and 2 yellow onions. 2. Add them to a pan on medium heat with oil. 3. While these are cooking, cut a spaghetti squash in half, remove the seeds, and coat both sides with olive   oil. Then season, (I used Adobo, onion powder, smoked paprika and salt and pepper) 4. Then flip them over, poke holes in the skin with a fork, and bake face down at 400 degrees for about 25   minutes. 5. Once your peppers and onions are caramelized, season with the same seasonings that you used on the   spaghetti squash. 6. Then take out your squash, use a fork shred out the spaghetti, and then mix in all of your peppers and   onions. 7. Then top both halves with cheese (I used Muenster but you can use Provolone, Swiss or pretty much any   cheese) Then melt the cheese under the broiler and top off each side with steak. I used sliced top sirloin, but you can also use shaved steak. Enjoy

In a pan on medium low, add 2.5 sticks of salted butter. Stirring frequently, let the butter simmer until you see it turn brown.

Any chocolate chips will work, but my favorite combo is: -1 (chopped) dark chocolate Lindt bar -1 (chopped) milk chocolate Lindt bar -1 cup of Ghirardelli grand chips Fold in the chocolate, and roll 4 tablespoons worth of dough into balls, and let them sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours.  Straight from the fridge, bake a...
