April fools day isn’t a real holiday by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s a really fun day – especially for foodies like me. We’ve done April fools day pranks for as long as I can remember, often messing around with the food that we eat, as that’s always a fun prank. In my family, it was always important to my dad that these types of pranks be funny and not mean or picking on each other, so I find that food-related ones are always the best. Many of the ones on this list are ones that our children have spoken about year on year, wondering what will happen next. We do not very often repeat these pranks, so have had to get more creative as time has gone on.

I am known widely as someone who very much enjoys pickles. Specifically, American-style dill pickles that often can only be found at Subway or McDonalds, as they are very sour and very much full of dill. I am known to like pickles so much, that four separate people told me about the KFC pickle menu, and I honestly thought it was some sort of April Fool’s joke, until it came out! Dann and I went right to our local KFC to try it all. Pickle Mania is what they are calling their new pickle range, which can all be ordered in one box meal. Dann and I each got a box, which was fun to try!

We are all on a quest to find the best chicken tender. You know the one: it’s crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, so it feels like a total win. For a long time, getting that result meant dealing with a big pot of bubbling oil and a kitchen that smelled like a fast-food place for three days.

But things are different now. Your air fryer is going to become your favorite kitchen tool if you want restaurant-quality tenders without the greasy mess. I’m going to show you step by step how to make the perfect crispy-tender, from the best ways to bread it to how to get the most out of a high-performance setup like the Typhur Dome.

What makes the air fryer a game-changer

Think of your air fryer as a small, very powerful wind tunnel for your food. It sends hot air flying at high speeds, which starts the Maillard reaction. In other words, it makes a beautiful, browned crust that looks and tastes like it was fried.

It’s another week of meal inspo, from random American recipes, to old classics, to fun foods that we have enjoyed. A lot of these meals were super quick – we are in our quick food era, and all of them are very filling as their own items. Side dishes are something I do feel I need to have more inspo for lately!

I always get the itch to do some extra baking and treat-making around Valentine’s Day. Each year, I do these cookie or treat boxes for our local Pokemon Go community, which is always a lot of fun. Valentine’s Day isn’t as big of a deal as it is in America, but it is still a fun little holiday to enjoy. In some of these recipes, the sprinkles are really doing all of the heavy lifting, so you’ll need to find some Valentine’s Day sprinkles that you very much enjoy both the look of and eating!
