No Fluff Recipe: Air Fryer Fries
Do you have an air fryer? One of my favorite foods to cook in the air fryer is potatoes.  Here is my simple recipe for french fries in the the air fryer.  

This time I used only one large russet potato but you could do more, you might need to do them in batches to cook evenly.  I'm usually not patient enough for that! I then just shake the drawer a few times during the cooking time.
Recipe
Potatoes, sliced
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, (I know you're not supposed to cook this kind of oil, but it's easy, but avocado oil would be better for cooking)
Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
Toss and put into air fryer drawer

I have a "fry" button that does 400º and 18 min, but you will have to check after 10 min and shake the pan, if you have a lot of potatoes, shake more frequently. This is a basic recipe for sweet potatoes or butternut squash, peel both and cute into cubes.  The air fryer I use is the Vortex Power XL 7Qt, it does what I need it to do, but there may be better ones out there.

From Computer Programmer to Health and Wellness Educator

 
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I’m Allison, momma to Jackson, Connor, Brady, and Keegan, married to Peter. We live in a Philly suburb here in Pennsylvania. Our life is beautiful and crazy, but we love each other, despite all the wrestling matches my boys host. We’re definitely a work in progress.

A little about me and how I got here...

I started out at Villanova for accounting, but soon found myself as a computer programmer creating websites in the mid-’90s. That lasted a few years before I decided to be a stay-at-home mom and I’ve never looked back!

In my 20s, I struggled with endometriosis, which began my journey into health and wellness—my true passion. I even blogged about eliminating an ovarian cyst through fasting! Now, I have a strong desire to help others by sharing my story and showing there's a better way.

Fast forward to my first son, Jackson. When he was a toddler, he decided to spray Shower Power in his mouth! Let’s just say Poison Control and I were good friends back then. Although I started my journey in the '90s with food, I didn’t fully connect the dots between cleaning chemicals and health until much later.

Today, I’m navigating life as a homeschool mom of one teen, a college mom, and I’ve just recently seen my two oldest boys get married! We also have two adorable mini poodles—our "girls"—to balance out the boy chaos. Homeschooling only one might seem simpler, but I’m busier than ever, balancing life and staying connected with my older boys.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching and sharing my love for natural health, fitness, and homeschooling. Fresh milled flour has become a recent passion of mine. I love baking and with all the poorly processed flours out there, it’s no wonder so many are gluten-sensitive. I’m far from perfect!

I’m passionate about empowering moms, especially homeschool moms over 35 with lively children, so they can take charge of their family's health.

If that’s you, get in touch—I’d love to help.

Here is my story on YouTube.
