Simple Air-Fried Pizza Toast
This is my go-to pizza on lazy days. In just a few minutes, the air fryer can produce browned sausage, crispy pepperoni, thick bread, and melted cheese. It's soft in the middle, crispy on the outside, and consistently strikes the mark.
You'll Need
Two slices of thick bread (sourdough, Italian, or Texas toast each work well)
A couple spoonfuls of pizza sauce for each piece
Mozzarella cheese, shredded
A few pieces of pepperoni
Crushed cooked sausage
Dried oregano or Italian spice
Red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese are optional.
How I Do It
To begin, preheat your air fryer for a few minutes at 370°F.
In the basket of the air fryer, arrange the bread slices flat. Evenly cover each slice with pizza sauce; avoid using too much or it will become soggy.
On top of the sauce, scatter a thick layer of mozzarella. Add the sausage and pepperoni, and if desired, top with some Italian seasoning and Parmesan.
The bread should be brown and crunchy on the edges and the cheese should be melted and bubbling after 6 to 8 minutes of cooking in the air fryer. Continue to watch it for another minute or two if you prefer more browning.
Slice or consume it as is after letting it cool for a minute.
Ideas for Serving
Excellent by itself for lunch or dinner.
Excellent with a side salad
Drizzle it with ranch or extra hot pizza sauce.
A Few Tips
Thin bread can become very crispy; thicker bread is ideal.
If the toppings begin to brown too quickly, reduce the temperature a little.
There are several options for customization, including pineapple, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and olives.
You'll be preparing this recipe frequently after you give it a try, even though it seems almost too simple. If you'd like, I can assist you make a kid-friendly version, French bread pizza in an air fryer, or garlic bread pizza.

Fettuccine and Meatballs
Ingredients:
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Olive oil (for frying)
For the Sauce:
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
For the Fettuccine:
1 lb fettuccine pasta
Salt (for the pasta water)
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)
Preparation:
Make the Meatballs:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until just combined.
Roll the mixture into meatballs about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs and brown them on all sides (about 6-7 minutes). Don't worry if they’re not fully cooked through at this point; they’ll finish cooking in the sauce.
Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, remove any excess oil and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper.
Carefully add the browned meatballs back into the skillet with the sauce. Cover and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce thickens.
Cook the Fettuccine:
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions (usually around 8-10 minutes).
Drain the pasta, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
Assemble the Dish:
Toss the cooked fettuccine with the tomato sauce and meatballs. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Serve the fettuccine and meatballs hot, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil or parsley.
Enjoy! This Fettuccine and Meatballs dish is comforting and full of flavor, with tender meatballs in a rich, savory tomato sauce served over a bed of creamy fettuccine. It's a classic Italian meal that’s perfect for family dinners!

Pineapple Glazed Ham
Ingredients (Serves 6–8):
1 fully cooked ham (about 4–6 lbs / 1.8–2.7 kg)
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp ground cloves (optional)
Pineapple slices and maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Prepare the ham: Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/4-inch deep. Place the ham in a roasting pan, cut side down.
Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, and ground cloves. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves and glaze is smooth.
Glaze the ham: Brush a generous amount of the glaze over the ham, reserving some for later.
Bake: Cover the ham loosely with foil and bake for 1–1.5 hours, basting every 20–30 minutes with the remaining glaze.
Finish browning: Remove the foil during the last 15–20 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize and the ham to turn golden. If desired, arrange pineapple slices and cherries on top for presentation.
Serve: Let the ham rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with extra glaze drizzled on top.

Crispy Chicken Egg Rolls
Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or finely diced
1 cup shredded cabbage
½ cup grated carrots
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
½ tsp black pepper
12 egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut)
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and black pepper. Mix until well‑combined.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place about 2–3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture near the corner.
Fold the corner over the filling, fold in the left and right edges, then roll up toward the opposite corner. Brush the final edge with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Once hot, carefully add egg rolls in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3–5 minutes per batch.
Remove egg rolls to a paper towel–lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as sweet chili, soy, or spicy mustard.
