Did you get any new food-related gadgets for Christmas?

I think I got the same popcorn maker! Is glass with red rubber accents and looks like a teapot. It's definitely portion control. I just have to figure out what to spray on the popcorn so that the flavored salts stick to it!

We really are twins!

I make waffles (regular ones) for Kris and the kids every weekend pretty much. They don't tempt me in the least. Even the entire winter break I made a "big" breakfast every single day for 7 people and stuck with my usual egg/cottage cheese or turkey/cheese. Sweets first thing in the morning aren't my weakness. Now, if there were a pizza on the table...that's a different story haha!

I also got an air fryer but haven't tried it yet. I need to take some time and look for recipes!

I make a lot of protein muffins and I've heard that you can make muffins in the air fryer - so I may have to give that a try to see if they are any better than the oven.

Keep us posted - I never thought of muffins in the air fryer!

No I didn't And I am still looking for my Kitchenaid mixer. It's packed in a box/bin somewhere

Making a list from all the goodies everyone got

I'm on my second air fryer. Didn't like the first one. It was too small. And difficult to clean because the basket had a mesh bottom which was super difficult to clean. I did learn, however, that you could buy steamer basket parchment paper link which made clean-up a lot easier.

Now I have the large size Air Fryer XL....the one you see ad nauseum on infomercials. Much easier to clean, and big enough to cook a whole chicken.

In my future, I see an Air Fryer Oven (another Eric Theiss infomercial). It looks like a big toaster oven and has three racks so you can cook meat and veggies (zucchini chips, anyone).

No gifts for me. An Air Fryer would've been great though. That's a neat gadget!

I got an Instpot last Christmas and I used it till it started to burn everything I cooked.

I bought a new one & I love it.

This year I got an air nail gun and that to me better than a food related item because when the Insapot is doing its magic, I'm outside burning calories.

So both are great to help our wonderful "Tool" work for us!

I just take any meat, spray with butter or olive oil spray, season and cook. It all comes out delicious.
