Air Fryer Jalapeño Poppers

These Air Fryer Jalapeño Poppers are stuffed with a rich cheese filling and finished with a crunchy topping. And, they are so easy to make, just pop them in the air fryer and enjoy.

Jalapeño Poppers are a popular appetizer made with jalapeño peppers that are typically stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese and cheddar cheese, then topped with breadcrumbs and baked to perfection. They make a fantastic appetizer or just a snack.

Jalapeño peppers are a popular pepper variety used in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. The name “jalapeño” is Spanish for “Jalapa” (or Xalapa), the capital of Veracruz, Mexico. Jalapeños were originally grown there. They are low in calories and full of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.

How to make Air Fryer Jalapeño Poppers:
1. First, add the cream cheese, cheddar, and garlic to a small bowl and mix together until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Mix again.
2. Next, divide the cream cheese mixture among the jalapeño halves, smoothing it down. Firmly press the breadcrumbs over the cream cheese to fully coat.
3. Finally, place jalapeños in the basket and cook in an air fryer at 370°F for 6-8 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe

Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe

Creamy Cucumber Salad is so easy, creamy, and refreshing. Made with fresh cucumbers, red onion, sour cream, vinegar, honey, garlic, and dill. It is a refreshing side dish for a hot summer day or any time of the year.

This cucumber salad a staple side salad in every household in Germany. Every German family and region makes it slightly different. It comes in both creamy versions and non-creamy versions. I like the creamy version.

Cucumbers are the star of this recipe. I have so many cucumbers coming from our garden this summer. We love cucumbers and they are much more versatile than you might realize. Cucumbers are always a great part of a healthy diet. They are low-calorie fruit (yes, a fruit!), full of water and other nutrients, including fiber, vitamins A, K and C, potassium and calcium. This Creamy Cucumber Salad is a great way to use up a lot of cucumbers.

Don’t ignore this step! This will help make cucumbers crispy: sprinkle cucumber slices with sea salt and toss. Let cucumbers sit with the salt for about 15 minutes. They will release their excess moisture. Then drain out as much liquid as you can. Discard drained liquid.

Dark Chocolate Bark with Medjool Dates

Dark Chocolate Bark with Medjool Dates

Dark Chocolate Bark with Medjool Dates is an easy no-bake dessert with only four ingredients: Medjool dates, peanut butter, almonds, and dark chocolate. You can serve it around the holidays, gift to friends, or have it as a treat anytime.

Medjool dates have a rich, almost caramel-like taste and a soft, chewy texture. Native to Morocco, Medjool dates are just one of hundreds of varieties of dates, but they’re the only one known as “the fruit of kings.” Medjool dates are actually harvested from the date palm, cleaned, sorted and packaged right away. There’s no processing and that’s why you’ll find them in the produce section at the grocery store.

How to make Dark Chocolate Bark with Medjool Dates:
1. First, line a pan (I used a 14in X10in pan) with parchment paper. Next, place a single layer of the Medjool dates on a parchment paper. Use your hands to press them down onto the baking sheet as close together as possible.

2. Drizzle with peanut butter and sprinkle almonds on top. Then, drizzle the melted chocolate on top and use a spatula to spread out evenly.

3. Finally, freeze for about 30 minutes. When the chocolate is set, break into pieces or cut with a sharp knife. Keep in the fridge for best results.
