  1. Cheers! So many delicious treats, Jenna, and I am drooling over those scallops.

  2. Jenna, I should always eat breakfast before I read your posts. You shared so many wonderful dishes in December and I look forward to the air fryer ones in January! Happy Sunday and finally some cooler weather!

    • haha, thank you Pam! Did you get a lot of snow?

      • Hi Jenna, we got none at our house. Several friends in different parts of our county received 2-3 inches. Did you?

      • Yes, but we stayed at the beach until this morning so most of it was melted by the time we got home, but driving in was so pretty seeing the snowy roofs and foliage! It was beautiful and warm on the coast all week, but was freezing there too when we left this morning. I just asked my son to light the fire, I’m freezing!

  3. I’m still drooling over those scallops as well!
    Have fun with your new air fryer!

  4. Happy 2022 Jenna! I’m looking forward to the air fryer experiments, I’m always looking for more ways to use mine:@)

    Happy New Year, Jenna! I can’t wait to see all of the delicious dishes you will cook up. I have to tell you the bacon cheeseburger soup was a real hit. It was comfort in a bowl. Wishing you a healthy and blessed New Year!

    Jenna I have a funny story to tell you about an air frier, but I need to tell it to you in person, LOL! I’m looking forward to seeing what you cook.

    Do you follow the air frier guy on TikTok or YouTube? He makes up songs while he makes up funny recipes. He’s a lot of fun!

    Happy New Year!

    • I’m looking forward to hearing your story! We tried several air fryers when they first came out and didn’t like the results so we took them back. The new ones can do lots of different things which makes them more practical…I’ll have to look for the air fryer guy!

    Mmmmm! Mmmmm! Everything looks good but the scallops over creamy pasta has my attention.
    Happy Sunday my friend!

    You had such a great month of cooking. I’ve seen all the recipes in your December posts, but I enjoyed reviewing them and still think they look so good. I think the one I am most drawn to is the braid–so many variations possible.

    Girl, your food pictures always have me drooling. I am sitting here with a pack of crackers, drinking coffee and thinking…Oh I wish I had some of those wonderful dishes I am looking at!!! I got an Air Fryer too. I think I am going to enjoy it. Happy New Year dear Jenna. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Wow, an amazing list of delicious recipes for January! I don’t have an air fryer but a good friend does and she swears by it. I need to think about one so I will be watching HHjr to see how he uses his. Looking forward to 2022 and hope it’s better so we can lunch more. Happy New Year Jenna………

  11. Mary says:

    Everything looks delish Jenna! Happy air frying to HHjr! 🙂
