Air Fried Salmon

We usually buy a large cut of salmon at either Costco or Sam's Club. Cut it into 2 or 4 pieces. Turns out perfect every time.

INGREDIENTS
Salmon
Olive Oil
Dry Rub Seasoning (whatever blend of seasoning you want to use. Recently we have been using this Salt Lick Dry rub. Kinder's brand has a really good lemon butter garlic or we also like to use a mixture of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt.)

Lemon slices

DIRECTIONS

Cut salmon into 2 or 4 pieces. Lightly rub olive oil onto salmon. Sprinkle with your favorite dry seasoning. Spray inside of air fryer with cooking spray. Set temperature to air fry, 390 degrees for 20 minutes. *Other air fryer temperatures and times may vary. Take cooked pieces out of the air fryer, squeeze lemon slices over the top and enjoy.

2nd annual Grinch Party

We had a lot of fun at our 2nd annual Grinch Party. Henley worked so hard on her Grinch sign. I think it turned out great! 

We decided to add extended family to our party this year bumping our numbers from 5 to 16.

My favorite is seeing the girls excited to help. They jumped right in and added a lot of fun additional Grinchy elements.

We also had fun playing a race game of wrapping each other up like a Christmas tree with green crepe paper, a Christmas candy dice game and Grinch bingo. Ended the night with Grinch hot chocolate and a trip downtown to walk around the city hall Christmas lights. 

Açai Bowls

INGREDIENTS
3 c. frozen berries
1 c. milk
1 ripe banana
1T.+ açai powder

1-2 T. honey, optional

Toppings

granola

unsweetened coconut

honey

fresh fruit- bananas, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mangos, peaches, kiwi, peaches, etc.

health seeds-chia, hemp, flax, etc.

DIRECTIONS

In a blender combine frozen berries, milk, banana, açai powder and honey. Add additional milk if you are having a hard time blending, but not too much or it'll become runny. Portion into containers. I like to double the batch and freeze some for later. When pulling out a container of açai from the freezer, allow to thaw on the table for about an hour. Add desired toppings and enjoy.
