Shrimp Taco Bowl, by Diane

 

I just whipped up this recipe the other day loosely based on my fave airfryer shrimp tacos, and I really love the combo I came up with! It's super quick and easy for a busy weeknight.

Ingredients:

12 large shrimp

1 tsp Tony Chacere's seasoning (or any mexican or spice seasoning)

1 cup broccoli slaw mix

3 tbsp chopped red onion

2 tbsp chopped cilantro leaves

3 tbsp crushed pineapple

2 tbsp my shrimp taco sauce (1 tsp salt, 1 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp each garlic powder. chili powder, and black pepper, 1/2 cup mayo, juice of 1/2 lime- this makes a bigger batch for a few servings)

Directions:

1. Toss shrimp in Tony's seasoning and air fry for 8 minutes at 380 until pink.

2. While the shrimp cooks, combine remaining ingredients in a bowl. Add shrimp and enjoy!

Whipped Tuna, by Diane

 

We've said this before...dips are hard to take photos of. But trust me, this is one of the best tuna salad recipes I've ever made!! This has some of the flavors of the Tuna Salad Bites I made earlier this month, but I also mixed it with the viral tunacado mousse that has been floating around the internet. This mashup is quick, healthy, easy, and a total keeper!! I ate mine with sundried tomato and basil almond crackers, yum!

Ingredients:

1 large can albacore tuna in water, partially drained (I kept some of the water in to reduce the mayo a bit)

2 tbsp mayo (I used avocado oil mayo)

Juice of 1/3 lemon

2 tbsp feta cheese crumbles

1 tbsp capers

6 small sweet baby gherkins

3 tbsp diced red onion

1 small garlic clove

1 pinch red pepper flakes

3/4 tsp dried dill

1/2 tsp celery salt

Directions:

Whip everything in a food processor until creamy and smooth, adjusting seasonings for taste and mayo/lemon for texture. 

The Best Tuna Salad Bites, by Diane

 

I saw these on instagram from @goodeatsbyrose and despite me not liking quite a few of these ingredients I was for whatever reason inspired to try it. I'm so glad I did- these were amazing (she just called these Tuna Salad but honestly they are the BEST!). So quick and easy, I can't wait for lunch tomorrow! I think these are perfect because they are a mix of acid, salt, fat, sweet, spice, crunch and soft. I slightly adjusted some quantities based on what I had on hand. Yum!!

Ingredients:

1 large can tuna, drained

6 sweet gerkin pickles, diced

1/2 small red onion, diced

10-15 small sweet cherry tomatoes, quartered or halved

3 tbsp capers

1 tbsp mayo

Juice of 1/4 lemon

1/4 cup feta crumbles

Sprinkle red chili flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp garlic powder

Romaine leaves

Directions:

Mix all ingredients except lettuce to combine and adjust seasonings. Put into crunchy romaine leaves and devour!

Crispy Smashed Brussels Sprouts with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, by Diane

 

I saw this recipe by Plant You on ig, and thought I'd give them a try since we all know I love my air fryer. These were super easy, but my biggest complaint was the cooking instructions. You are supposed to cook them at 450 for 15 minutes and then flip and cook for another 10. My air fryer only goes to 400 and I did 10 minutes before I noticed one side was burning so I flipped them, and 5 minutes later they were almost all char. So I would definitely make them again but with a new cooking time, which I'll write below. I served them with her roasted red pepper sauce, which was also a good pairing- I added nutritional yeast to this and that made it way better!

Ingredients:

2 lbs brussels sprouts, ends cut off

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

1 tsp salt

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Directions:

1. Steam the brussels sprouts for 8 min.

2. Flatten the sprouts with the bottom of a cup to smash, and lay in an even layer in a greased air fryer. 

3. Drizzle each side with oil, and sprinkle tops with seasonings. Cook at 400 for 5 minutes.

4. Flip the sprouts, season the other side, and cook at 400 for another 5-10 minutes until crispy. 

For the sauce: Blend 3/4 cup soaked cashews (soak for 30 min), 1 clove garlic, 1/2 roasted red pepper, 1/4 cup almond milk, 2 tsp salt, and 2 tsp nutritional yeast until smooth.

Akananda Ma's Rehydration Tea, by Diane

 

I did a 3-day ayurvedic cleanse over the weekend based off a quiz I took that was shockingly accurate on current problems like low energy, and it was a gentle way to fix them. This was recipe was really easy to make and kinda like natural gatorade. I can imagine in hotter weather this is going to be amazing! It contains ground kola nut, which is a super health source and does a zillion great things in the body. It's got salt and lime for electrolytes as well. It also uses turbinado sugar which is raw brown sugar, so it's a really clean way to hydrate.

Ingredients:

4.5 cups water

2 heaping tbsp fresh mint

1 heaping tsp brahmi (gotu kola)

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp lime, juice squeezed

2 tsp turbinado sugar

Directions:

1. Boil water. Add in mint, kola, salt, and lime. Steep for 10 min.

2. Strain (I didn't because I like the mint), mix in sugar and serve warm for all weather or chilled for hot weather.
