Air Fryer Carrots

Happy 4th of July weekend!

I can't believe we are just a few days away from the 4th and still have NO clue what we are doing. Also, I wish more events happened this weekend instead of on the 4th so I don't have to miss work or go somewhere on a weekday just to get a glimpse of fireworks. The 4th is one of my favorite holidays, in Utah we would watch the balloons lift off, go to Stadium of Fire, baseball games, there was SO much to do! And we would always go to my Mom's for fireworks in their street. Since moving to California it's been...different. What do you do on the 4th?

Anyways, back to the recipe. A few weeks ago our Air Fryer went out. It's been so loud the past few months and sounded like it was going to explode so we caved and bought a new one. With the new Air Fryer came a recipe book and, as you know, I love cooking. This Air Fryer Carrot recipe was found in that booklet and they were soooo good. We use our Air Fryer often but not usually for vegetables. It was definitely worth it, and super easy! 

Ingredients:
Medium size, fresh carrots, peeled, up to 8


1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp dried herbs
1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Black pepper

Directions:
Spray the air fryer with cooking spray and preheat on 400 degrees. In a large bowl, add all ingredients except the carrots. It doesn't look like a lot, but it's plenty.

Dip the carrots in the herbs and then place in the air fryer. 

Cook for 15 minutes until carrots are cooked through and nicely browned. Serve with chicken, rice and green beans.

Add 3oz of bacon bits I added pepper but you can also add salt based on your liking. I put the food on low for 6-7 hours.  An hour before you serve it, cut up the cream cheese and put it

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
