Friday Favorites from Love & Olive Oil, Butter Your Biscuit, Once Upon a Chocolate and More

Good morning friends, happy Friday. How was your week? It’s been busy here between settling into a routine at the hotel to work and live for the next few weeks, running back and forth to the house for various contractors and the holiday. So far it is all going well, the dogs are troopers and we are on schedule for the work that we want done before we get into the house. It’s been raining and storming here the last 2 days so there are no photos, hopefully tomorrow.

For now, get yourself a coffee, tea, or a hot chocolate or perhaps a cocktail and sit down and enjoy all of my “Friday favorites.”

Food

Always eat dessert first, that is my motto, especially if it is hot fudge! This recipe is one of my absolute favorites and it is perfect on ice cream, served over berries, or drizzled on cake or whatever else you like.

Our Air-Fryer (we have this model)is one of the hardest working small appliances in our house and now in our temporary hotel lodging, this week I made Air-fryer Orange Chicken and it was easy and delicous!

Pizza is one of my favorite things to eat and make and this grilled French bread pizza looks like an easy twist on a family favorite.

If you are looking for a pizza sauce you might like this one, it is extra thick.

Summer is all about burgers and this recipe for burgers with beer braised onions and cheddar sounds like a great addition to my summer menu.

    I’ve been on the fence about buying an air fryer and to hear that you’ve been able to make a yummy meal in a hotel room with it …I’m sold! Thanks for always providing such a diverse and fun read!
