Over the past few years, I have really grown to appreciate Christmas more than usual. It’s the time of year when my entire family gets together, but it’s especially nice having my nieces home from college. I don’t see them as often as I’d like to, so I no longer take their presence for granted. For me, the best part about Christmas is once everyone leaves, it’s nice to stay up late with my sisters and nieces, hanging out, making chai, indulging in this Red Velvet Cake that I bake every single year, talking, watching movies and eating Christmas leftovers at 3 am....

We love fish at our house, especially when it tastes this amazing! More favorites include Fish and Chips, Baja Tacos and this Salmon. Air Fryer Cod Filets Air frying fish is one of the best ways to cook this delicate tender meat. The air fryer basket is perfect, it allows the circulating air to cook the outside and the inside while keeping the fish intact.

To be honest, when it comes to tofu, I’m on the fence too, but as much as I enjoy nonveg, I’m not about to eat it daily to satisfy my protein intake.

Plus, if tofu is flavored well, it tastes amazing....
