    • Focaccia from scratch baked in under 15-minutes in the Ninja Foodi. Can you imagine the light salty crust and airy crumb? It is like having the best French Fry you have ever had but it's bread. We could always find Focaccia straight out of the oven when we lived back in Italy. Actually, we lived in Liguria where it originated. One thing I love was how easy it was to always find it fresh at the local bakery or I should say Focacciaria. Everyone needs to experience this Italian treat in their own home without jetlag. Focaccia in the Ninja Foodi is from-scratch with a crisp crust, tender and airy crumb. Even better this focaccia is done in under an hour…half of that time is just proofing. So, now it is my turn to share with you.

    • Warm and fresh Dinner Rolls right out of the Air Fryer. Imagine homemade rolls cooked in just over 10 minutes. Ready when you want them. I'm a baker at heart and I love combining it with my air fryer. This recipe can have a batch of easy dinner rolls done so quickly. We all love those warm dinner rolls served when we're out to dinner. Now you can enjoy the same thing at home. Imagine watching the butter melt on the freshly opened rolls for mealtime magic.

    • I love it when we have a tasty and easy recipe to share like Smoked Baked Potatoes. These potatoes come out fluffy and buttery with the classic smoke flavor of mesquite. The cooking time is not much different than the oven, and it lets you use it for something else. Mark this recipe because when you want a baked potato, you are going to want to do them on the BBQ or smoker. Just look at how tender, fluffy, and buttery these smoked baked potatoes are. The best for me is the skin. I usually don’t eat the skin. Until we started smoking them. The skin is perfectly crispy like a chip or a crispy potato skin.

    • What makes Quesadillas a crowd favorite is how easy and versatile they can be. The flavor combinations are endless, make them spicy or savory, cook from fresh, or use those leftovers. And now the griddle is here to make them even easier, faster, and tastier.
