As an empty-nester trying to get rid of "stuff" accumulated over the years, buying a new kitchen gadget was the furthest thing from my mind. But after several of you shared how much you love your air fryer, well, I had to give it a try... 

Wow! The results were impressive: perfectly crisp panko coatings, beef filets and pork tenderloin that tasted more grilled than "oven-baked" and - this is the biggie! - significantly shorter cooking times from frozen!

Stuffed chicken breasts from freezer to table in just 35 minutes? Um, yes please...

Easy to make adult popsicles? Yes, please...

Sheet Pan Dinners 

Many Dinner Done dishes can be turned into sheet pan dinners with the addition of a few fresh veggies!

The parchment paper makes cleanup a breeze.

Here are our suggestions for Dinner Done entrees that make great sheet pan dinners!

Insulated Food Jars

An insulated food jar opens the door to all kinds of lunch possibilities. Healthy, homemade pasta dishes, hearty soups and even last night's leftovers can all be kept hot and at a safe temperature with these! Here are a few tips that may come in handy:

• Not all thermoses are created equal. Use a good quality vacuum insulated food jar.
• Make sure your child can open the thermos by themselves. This goes for any foods being packed in a lunchbox!
• How you put foods in the jar is important. Before adding food, fill the jar with boiling water and let stand a few minutes. Empty the water and fill with steaming hot food.
• Try this at home before sending to school (or taking to work!) to make sure the food stays at a safe temperature:  Test the temperature of the food with an instant read food thermometer 4-6 hours after packing. For optimal safety, hot items should be above...

1. Always start with a clean grill, and grease the grilling surface before heating.
