How to Make Air Fryer Cauliflower Gnocchi

Image
Did Santa bring you an air fryer for Christmas? Do you live near a Trader Joe’s store? If you answered yes to both of these questions, I have 4 words for you: Air Fryer Cauliflower Gnocchi . Oh, yes, I have quite the love affair with it and eat it nearly everyday. Here’s how you make it : Place a serving or two of frozen cauliflower gnocchi in your air fryer. Generously coat with cooking spray (or oil of choice). Toss around gnocchi a little bit to fully coat. Cook on 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes. Toss mid-way through cooking. Eat with marinara sauce, pesto, Parmesan cheese, etc. Easy as that! Happy air frying! Question of the Day What are your favorite air fryer recipes?  from Carrots 'N' Cake http://bit.ly/2QswO2R

And it’s not your fault – it’s just unrealistic. That’s why it’s better to take a different route…  Instead of an overnight “lifestyle change” – focus on ONE small self-care habit: Something that’s easy. Something that’s instantly rewarding. Something that fits perfectly into yo

Hope you guys had as snuggly of a weekend as we did! On Friday night our friends the Moores brought us dinner. (The last of the new baby meals – we appreciated them all so much!) We enjoyed pizza and salad and a little rose! VIDEOS Thomas went out bowling with a group of guys, so the boys and I did bedtime all together in Mazen’s bed. Mazen loves to read to Birch, and it couldn’t be more of a win-win-win for the three of us! After kissing Mazen goodnight, I took B up and put him to sleep and read my book for a while. I’m 30% of the way through  On Second Thought and it’s really good! (On another note, I tried  Nine Perfect Strangers   and just couldn’t get into it! I might try it again later.) When rumor surfaced that Chris was teaching “old school plyo” on Saturday morning I put the class in my calendar weeks ago. His Thursday morning plyo class is my all-time favorite: it’s 50 minutes of group ex cardio in a dark room with catchy music (think dance party clubbin
