Hi George, Sarabeth, and Peewee! Thank you for taking the time to share your sweet comment. I am so glad you are enjoying the cookbook and your air fryer! And, congratulations on being married 51 years, that is amazing! God bless you!
Cathy, what a great list of recipes! I can’t wait to try some of them! I have medical problems and I can’t stand at the kitchen counter, or sink, for very long. I decided to get an air fryer, with some birthday money, and I’m so glad I did! Luckily, my research led me to the Cosori Pro ll! It was very intimidating at first and sat in the box for over a week. Then I found you on YouTube! Thanks to you I now use my air fryer almost every day! No more relying on frozen dinners and sandwiches! Unless, of course. I cook my sandwich in the air fryer…yum. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, recipes and great since of humor! You’ve enriched my life and helped make it so much easier to prepare meals. I appreciate you, and everything you do! I can’t wait until I have the money to buy your cookbook. You’re such a blessing!
