I paused the video right after watching the tortilla garlic bread recipe and ran and made myself some. Then I came back and enjoyed the food and the rest of the video. It was so good.
Grilled peanut butter and jelly grilled is amazing LOL
My family watches your videos just for the “hey frans” in the beginning. DONT EVER STOP SAYING IT!!!
I love my air fryer. It does everything. And is amazing! Seriously by the time you could’ve gone thru fast food, drive through, you will be done eating and have it all cleaned up and on to a relaxing evening! Thanks for these ideas. You are so cute and have a joyful giggle.
More air fryer recipe please
Momma Mel, I laughed when you put Popa Patrick up on the suspect photo 😂. I absolutely love your channel and I love my air fryer, now i have more recipes to try in it. Thank you for sharing these with us. God bless you and your family and much love from Cumberland county Tn.
I love how you use the split screen to show the exact ingredients in their own containers. Very helpful. I love my air fryer, too. I think I'll try your potatoes first from this video.
If you have the drawer style air fryer you can use those unbleached coffee filters as liners. They help to absorb grease as well as excess moisture which helps the food get crispy rather than just steaming
I came back on here to tell you how great this video is. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these recipes. You are a breath of fresh air to watch and listen to! I can surley tell the Holy Spirit lives in you! Love from Texas ❤
Well how kind you are, thank you SO MUCH for this sweet comment. It blesses my heart to know that my videos are helpful and yes, the holy spirit is in me ❤️👍🏼🤣
I also have “use but don’t wash” suspects in my house. 😂😂😂
I want to thank you for all the recipes .I will have to put my airfry to work this summer. Thank you again for all the wonderful recipes. Take care, and I can't wait to see more of your recipes this year .
Grilled peanut butter and jelly is SO good!!!!
I have always made tuna melts.
Love my air fryer but you gave me some new things to try. Thank you Mamamel
My air fryer have shelves. So I dont have to flip my food. I mainly use my air fryer for baked potatoes and breaded chicken. Thanks for showing me these extra tips.
That sauce stash was impressive! 🤭😉
🤣 the kids always get the max amount
I couldn't live without my Cosori Air Fryer, use it for something several times a week and that is why I have three of them!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Looks good happy mother's day
Hi Mel , I love my Air Fryer !! All of these look delicious and I love a toasted tuna sandwich! Thank You for sharing!
I love these recipes! Yes…the air fryer is a life changer! I have a similar version of your air fryer and have found that I don’t have to flip my food if you don’t put foil down. The air cooks the underside of the food. Just have to spray your metal rack!
Yes, same here. 👍🏼😊
We love tuna melts. They are made like yours, except I add about a tablespoonful of sweet pickle relish and a little garlic powder, then mix in shredded cheddar.
Try mayo on the sandwiches. Best of both worlds
Hey Mel, these recipes look fun & easy but I don't have an Airfryer & likely won't for maybe a decade or so - maybe never. It's fun to watch, but I don't know how I could convert the recipes to an oven. Can't go into why it will be a long long time before I have the gadget, u would fall asleep by the time I get to the end of my list. 🤭🤣 Love watching ur episodes all the same. Have a great week! ❤
Another awesome video! I've got air fryer intimidation - may have used mine twice in 2 years... I'm going to try your cheese toast pizza recipe soon and work my way from there. Thanks, Momma Mel! And I love that you and Patrick took a roadtrip to a Cornbread Festival - sounds like my kind of getaway!
Love that little doohickey you used to drain the tuna!😻❤️👍
Good recipes come to those who wait patiently 😊 Thanks, Mel!! ❤
Mel you out done yourself, thanks 👍👍👍
Loved the video. All of it looked delicious. My oldest son loves food in the air fryer. He cooks his pizza rolls in there. It’s the only way he will eat them on nights I don’t feel like cooking. 😅 Tonight I used my instant pot to make stew beef. Making rice and beans on the side. Have a wonderful week.
Prime Suspect, hahaha!!! I LOVE it! Sorry Patrick 😂😂😂
As always these recipes look delicious, can’t wait to try them! Btw, u cracked me up w ur editing as Patrick as the “prime suspect” 😂
I absolutely love my airfryer! The dollar tree has unbleached parchment paper liners not. I picked up some today in both sizes. I heated a couple chicken tenders for my husband and it worked great and no clean up. ❤
We use the skin of the salmon as a dog treats for our dog❤
Thanks for the idea.
I just used my air fryer for the first time. I did frozen chicken wings. I followed the directions on the bag and it came out great. Gourmia 7 quart. I have some Alaskan salmon and I'll be trying that next.
Thanks so much Mel for the great air fryer recipes!! I love using my air fryer, haven't used my old "undependable" oven for a couple of years!! (Landlord won't replace it). Also, less energy used and doesn't heat of the whole kitchen. If you don't have one, you are missing out!! Melaney from SoCal
I love my air fryer; it makes the best french fries and doesn't heat up the kitchen. Great video ❤
Definitely need to use my air fryer more! So many options !
These are amazing recipes. Like you, my airfryer just sat and collected dust. I eventually put it away. Lately, I brought it back out and have used it more. I love these recipes. Pop Jones is also a lover of PBJ sandwiches so i need to try this for him. I was drooling over the tortilla cheese bread, tastes like Papa Johns, I'm in. Great, delicious, beautiful airfryer meals. I must try some soon. ❤❤❤
Oh my word! PB n J !? Warm!? What!? I absolutely have to do this now!!!!
Decadent Dishes Mel....Thanks for sharing! Yum...👍😊
I love my airfryer, it’s my friend😝 TYFS Mel, I sports recipes you shared👍👍👍 Take good care and have a blessed week🙏♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️🙏
I don’t have one, but my daughter thinks I should have one. I am going to spend some time with her soon. I said I will learn more about the air fryer while visiting. Perhaps I might need one by the time I get home.
❤ what delicious ideas… i love your air fryer… I have the basket one, you cant nearly the amount of food in mine as yours, I might look into the style of of yours. I just started using mine as well! I am in love with it! I almost gave up on it. The first time I used it i followed the directions on the air fryer and burnt everything! You have to experiment with it! ❤ its my new favorite appliance!
Bell's Seasoning like we put on turkey at Thanksgiving is awesome on chicken.
Girl you crack me up!! I don't know what Papa Johns cheese sticks taste like but wanted to share that I love using tortillas (La Banderita) for quesadillas too. I bet it would be really good with the cheese like you did plus some chicken & salsa, food in half & toast the tortilla on both sides. Yummy.... I've got one of these everything ovens sitting on my cabinet~~ for decoration I guess because I've yet to turn it on!! Keep showing these with yours, I'm feeling encouraged! I might actually plug mine in 😱🤣🤣🤗💖🌹🌹
Love my airfryer! Thanks for tips.
LOVE this Air Fryer video. Please do more. Thanks so much. Now!....which air fryer to purchase?
I hope we can still be friends, LoL, we rarely eat out, so no condiment packets. I've been working at using my air fryer more. I especially like it for cooking bacon, grilled cheese sandwiches, hot dogs, toasting buns. Lately I've been meal-prepping waffles and it's great for reheating. Today I meal-prepped beef taquitos using the air fryer, and these will reheat well in same. Quiche is another thing that reheats well in the air fryer vs. microwave.
Love my air fryer ❤ thank you for the great ideas 😊
Thank you for sharing this. Judge Joe knows his stuff. You go, Super Bro !!!!!
Hi Mel! I just bought a toaster oven that can also air fry so I am brand new to air frying. This couldn't have come at a better time. I can use all the tips I can get. I haven't even used it yet because I was nervous. This video was so helpful. Thank you so much!!The tortilla cheese bread looks absolutely delicious. I will be trying that for sure. Gonna try the garlic toast pizza too. Honestly, all of these would be perfect for when I get home from work and don't feel like cooking but want something quick and yummy. Thanks again, Mel for all you do. I'm now excited to try my air fryer! I'm even excited to try the zucchini and it's not my favorite veggie! I hope you have a beautiful and blessed week. 💞
I love salmon,It looked so good. I make hamburgers in air fryer. Thick hamburgers pre heat 370 for 5 minutes. Then 375 for 8 to 10 min flip another 8 to 10 min for well done
I have the oven type air fryer sitting on my counter. Sure is pretty. I never use it. Your recipes look good so I’m willing to get it dirty to try it out. There were no instructions or recipes when I purchased it. I know everybody says not to use parchment or foil so it sits. Tomorrow night I will make the chicken with mayo and cheeses.Thank you for a dose of bravery.
Hey Mel,We love,love our airfryer,Eark makes so much in it,the arby fries in it are super good!
I do think the air fryer makes the best fries, I'm so glad that I started using mine.
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel He paid to much for ours but we have gotten the use out of it.
@berthabyrd6898 well that's all that matters friend ❤️
I bought my air fryer at an estate sale for $10.00! Works great and printed the manual from online.
Everything looked delicious! Have a great week Mel!
Thank you so much friend, hope you enjoy and have a great week too!
Thank you 😊
Also just a tip, they have precut aluminum sheets at the DG store and Dollar Tree so much cheaper than the Reynolds brand especially with the ridiculous cost of items now! They work just as good, too!
Fantastic video with the air fyer! thumbs up...
Thanks for sharing these recipes Mel! I have a big air fryer like yours so i can make larger batches of food! They all looked grear except the tuna melt! Lol. Can't handle hot tuna! 😂❤ Love from my kitchen to you!!!
Ty for sharing like you was my air just was collecting dust so now will clean it up and tryit out God Bless 🙏❤
Hi Mel amazing recipes.i love the air fryer have a blessed week❤
Thanks Janet, you too! 😘
Thanks for all of these tips and recipes. My air fyer is like yours, I rarely use it, this video makes me want to try all of the recipes (except shrimp, I don't care for it). My mister kinda cleans 😂.
I’m trying to learn more things I can put in my air fryer. This video is very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing these recipes and tips! Everything looks delicious! 😊

I am new to air fryer cooking....decided to get with the program...it s hot in Fl...trying to cut back on stove cooking...using crockpot...more ..now air fryer..it helps...very much. Glad to have new ideas..Thanks..Mel😊
Some really great ideas ! I’m absolutely going to try some of these ! Thanks !
Put some rosemary on those potatoes! Delish
Sometimes I make apple sauce grilled sandwich. Apple sauce between buttered bread then once cooked sprinkle with cinnamon sugar
Sounds yummy!❤
This was fun Mel thank you so much! I was wondering if you have Gonnella bread or bread crumbs in your store? May favorite especially their French bread if you can find it… yum. Girl you got me so hungry 🥂🤣
Thanks for the post. There are a lot of great recipes and I can’t wait to get started.
Looks good, Mama Mel!! I have a basket air fryer but now I want one like yours!!
I absolutely love my air fryer
Me too, finally 🤣❤️
Now I want an air fryer! Thanks, Mel!❤
If you have an Ollie's in your area, a great place to pick up a cheap and easy Air Fryer. Definitely worth it.
Sooooooo happy to see your smiling face! Easy peasy lemon squeezy with Mama Mel !!! Love it! ❤❤❤
❤️ thank you SO much for being here!
Great job & inspiration Mel!
I love salmon and that looked beyond delicious.
It was! We really feasted! ❤️
@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel I would have too. Thank you for sharing. I've got an air fryer with a basket & it'd big enough for just me & my husband so it would do great in it too😇😇😇.
@tiffanybenefield1980 my mom has the basket style and she does baked potatoes in hers. Mine is not tall enough to do that, but I just saw they have a newer model and it's taller 😉 So I will have to keep that in mind when mine bites the dust 🤣
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel Both are nice & very versatile on what you can cook in them for sure. I like my basket style too.😇😇😇
I bake bread in the air fryer…❤
Second time I have seen warm peanut butter and jelly. I definitely must try.
I love it and I'm not usually a PBJ Sammie girl ❤️
I’m excited to see this video. I can’t wait to try the potatoes in the air fryer. We like potatoes and kielbasa but some times it greasy. So I’m think of air frying the potatoes and then doing the kielbasa and then mixing it together. Thanks Mel fur giving me this idea.
Yes, it's perfect for that! I make a lot of dishes like that and stir the taters on after air frying. Much less greasy.
Thanks Mel! All great ideas for the airfryer. It's the new way to cook! Karla in Cali.
You're so welcomed, I'm so glad I started using mine.
Yummy! Thanks Mama Mel!! I have an air fryer that I bought 2 yrs. ago. I have a confession. I've never, ever opened the box. 🙄 I know. So I just want to thank you for showing us how you use them. Looks easy! I'll hafta dig mine out and start using it. Thanks soooo much!! God bless!!
Honey we were in the same boat, I got this one a long time ago when we were waiting on parts to fix my oven. I baked in it, it does a bunch of different things. Once my oven got fixed I didn't think about it again and my momma kept telling me how much she used hers so I started using mine and now I'm hooked 😅
Thanks for a very informative video .
I started a fire in my air fryer a few weeks ago using parchment paper! It burned up really fast so it was almost over as soon as it started, but I’ll never do that again. My instruction manual says not to use aluminum foil because it can raise the temperature & cause it to overheat. I hadn’t thought about a silicone liner, but I might give that a try! That salmon looked amazing! Gonna have to try that recipe for sure! Thanks for another great video!
That happened to me also. I had the parchment paper to closer to the top and it started to burn a little also!! When I used it earlier it was fine!!
Thanks for video I got one last year for Christmas my son an his family got it for me I got a xl power one mine got I fix 🥓 in it it did good but I had put mine in cake pan a lot of lard come out of it mine have racks in mine air fryer
I have made grilled peanut butter and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for years but in a frying pan so so yummy
They are so delicious, Patrick's new favorite sandwich ❤️
I’m making the Parmesan crusted recipe tonight but with pork chops. All these recipes looked great. I’ve been using my air fryer more because it doesn’t heat up my kitchen
I've made that with pork chops and it's delicious, enjoy and thank you so much for watching 😊
Love love my air fryer and we always get Extra Sauces too lol thank you 😊
❤️
So delicious ❤🎉thanks for sharing 😊
Good evening Mel, Love watching your videos. Mel, happy for you getting your air fryer. We love ours too. Out of concern would you please find out about using foil on top of the air fry basket. Is it safe to do that? I tried this in mine and it blocked air flow. Mine is a different brand. Just concerned. God Bless and thank you kindly for sharing your yummy recipes 😊. Look I found this info online: What do you put under an air fryer basket in the oven? Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the rack below your air fry basket in a full-sized oven to help simplify cleanup. Make sure to leave space between the basket and the baking sheet for proper air flow.
I do that ,but also add marshmallows cream,banana on it to .
Yum!❤
Yay,i have that same air fryer 😋 thank you so much for sharing these recipes 🤠 hv a wonderful day Mel😊❤
I'm trying to add more fish to my diet and don't know enough fish recipes if you could do one on good fish recipes quick and easy I would appreciate that thank you ma'am
I will be keeping this in mind for you, in the meantime here's another salmon recipe that's really good and a talipia one too. Thanks so much for watching kzhead.info/sun/pbF8dtmRh5SCmnA/bejne.htmlsi=MjsdS3Z0n6liXPno The talipa video is about 2 years old 🤣 kzhead.info/sun/lr6kZt6wbGWehq8/bejne.htmlsi=jotQk8fEJhEx59XZ

When I get my hibachi I get an extra container of their yum yum sauce .so good for chicken
My kids always get the maximum sauces at Chick-fil-A, you can get about 3 with fries too 🤣 They like to have the extras at home to use.
Thank u for video
You're so welcomed ☺️
