This creamy chicken and mushroom soup is easy to make. The mix of vegetables and thyme adds richness, while the bone-in chicken flavors the broth. If you're in a hurry, you can skip the chicken breasts and add rotisserie chicken at the end instead.

There's nothing better than waking up to a full breakfast made and ready to eat, especially around the holidays or when you have people staying the night. This crowd-pleaser layers hash brown potatoes, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, chiles and spices for a Southwest spin.

While everyone loves an ooey-gooey chocolate cookie in the afternoon, a morning cookie should be less decadent. One perfect solution: These delicious cookies with oaty goodness, sweetness from apples and maple syrup, and the apple-pie spices cinnamon and nutmeg.

Many people know that a bowl of oatmeal is a healthy way to start the day. There's a lot of nutrition packed into that bowl of goodness, including whole-grain oats, spicy cinnamon and usually fruit and nuts on top. I set out to create a quick bread that had all the nourishment of a bowl of oatmeal -- but that would be easy to slice and take with you.

Since Molly was little, she's always been more of a sausage person than a bacon person. These are the perfect combo of salty and sweet with a hint of maple syrup!

After any big holiday meal, it’s great to flip the leftovers into a new dish. Here a sweet-and-smoky salsa transforms a Rosh Hashanah brisket into Southwestern-style breakfast tacos that use ingredients you likely have in your kitchen. The optional potato chips add delightful crunch.

I have a breakfast bar recipe in an earlier book, but this is the new, improved version: gluten-free, dairy-free and enough seeds to make you start sprouting. I've used no sugar, but before you start thinking this is virtuously sugar-free (which I could claim it to be), remember that the sweetness that comes from the dates is, in essence, sugar, though certainly it's unprocessed and full of fiber at the same time. There are a lot of ingredients, but you need a good mixture to give crunch and chew--and all manner of smugness-inducing nutrients--though you can fiddle about with them. You can, for example, use sunflower seeds in place of flaxseeds, or half and half rather than all flaxseeds, as below, and you can also use puffed rice (gluten-free if needed) or buckwheat flakes in place of cornflakes. In theory, cornflakes (and oats) should be gluten-free, but if crucial, make sure it's stipulated on the packet. If you can't get hold of medjool dates, then use 350 grams (12 ounces) pitted dried dates and up the water to 400 milliliters (scant 1 3/4 cups). And they'll take about 10, rather than 5, minutes to cook until they're soft enough to mash to a purée. Make these bars at the weekend, and you'll be set up for the week if you're someone who needs to grab-and-go in the morning. They come in pretty handy for that 4pm slump, too.

Grilled Sausage and Egg Breakfast Sandwiches feature juicy, grilled sausage patties and fluffy eggs nestled in toasted buns or bread. A satisfying, savory way to kickstart your morning.

The secret to making air fryer zucchini super crispy is a generous amount of olive oil in the breading. The oil helps to mimic the same crunchy crust you’d get from deep-frying, but without the mess. We like to serve fried zucchini with warm marinara sauce, but these bites would be equally delicious (and a bit more indulgent) dipped in creamy ranch dressing or your favorite aioli.

You’ll be overcome by nostalgia when you make these pizza bagels. We kept everything we love about the original — toasted chewy bagel, tangy tomato sauce and lots of melty cheese. But we made these entirely in the air fryer, cutting the cooking time by half. Enjoy them as they are, or add your favorite pantry toppings, such as mini sliced pepperoni and roasted red pepper strips.

Taquitos are the ultimate finger food—mini rolled tacos that are warm, cheesy and super crunchy! An air fryer makes this crowd-pleasing snack (or appetizer) surprisingly easy to cook up at home. We fill them with chunks of chicken and melty Colby Jack, but you can customize the ingredients to please even the pickiest of eaters with different proteins and cheeses. And while you have the air fryer fired up you can make a delicious charred salsa to serve alongside.

You may not have thought to make a frittata in your air fryer, but you can! You'll get a gorgeous brown crust with a creamy interior—and clever use of a cake pan makes it a cinch to unmold. We used Havarti for its mild flavor and superior melting qualities, but substitute another good melting cheese such as Cheddar, jack or fontina if you like. Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature.

Made with a thin apple slicer and a melon baller, these cutie flower-shaped potatoes – perfect for kids – cook entirely in the air fryer until they’re tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. For best results, use potatoes that are similar in size, at least 1 1/4 inches wide. Once they’re done cooking, fill each flower with ranch dressing and a cherry tomato half. Or mix things up and add a different dip, like hummus or guacamole.

Air fryers aren't just for French fries, and this recipe showcases their versatility with a stir-fry-like dish that uses just a fraction of the typical amount of oil. Cleanup is a breeze since any splatters are kept in the fryer, and everything is cooked in about 30 minutes. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender and soft on the inside, perfect for soaking up the warming chili sauce. Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
