Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these air fryer hot wings are healthy and delicious, and only take about 20 minutes to cook. I was a bit skeptical about using the air fryer at first, but these hot wings have made a big exception in my book. Thanks to my husband John for providing this recipe while I am enjoying all the newborn cuddles with our new baby.

Today I’m sharing how to roast beets in the oven and an easy dressing to go on top for a delicious summer snack. It’s not often you get to eat a food that is dark red or purple, so grab some beets and let’s get started!

This all natural homemade raspberry ice cream recipe is a frosty, creamy dessert that tastes like summer in a cup. Each spoonful is a refreshing taste of sour raspberry with cream and honey as a natural sweetener. I knew this was blog-worthy when my husband said he liked it better than store-bought ice cream. That’s a win for me!

Have you ever been stuck without a good quality food option and a very hungry tummy? I try to cook everything from scratch at our homestead, but I’ll be honest. Sometimes life gets busy. My rule of thumb is it’s better to have high quality food at your fingertips than to eat low quality fast food. So how do you find good food that’s readily available? Well one way is through your local farmers and markets. But in case that option isn’t available, here is my top 39 healthy foods to buy on Amazon. And a few tips for buying food online in general. Enjoy!
