to what's cooking with Paula today you
0:35
know I I get requests from girls all
0:38
over the US and guys well I got a email
0:43
from a friend of mine Brenda and she
0:47
listened Minnesota she may not want me
0:50
to tell her last name but it's Taylor so
0:54
she sent me an email want to know if I
0:57
could turn her own to some good easy
1:00
appetizer recipes for her and fryer and
1:04
so I decided you know picture is worth a
1:09
thousand words so I'm gonna share with
1:12
her and with y'all one of my favorite
1:15
recipe go-to recipes for appetizers for
1:18
the airfryer and I'm gonna start by
1:22
putting my gloves on y'all because I'm
1:25
working with jalapenos and those seeds
1:29
are hot and y'all have probably heard me
1:32
tell the story about we were shooting a
1:37
show one day and Jamie Jamie was on the
1:40
show with me
1:41
and you know how children they don't
1:44
want to they they don't want to do what
1:46
mama says because it makes them look
1:50
like a boy I guess I don't know what
1:53
they're thinking but anyway I said Jamie
1:56
because he was gonna slice the hell
1:58
opinions and D see them for me and I
2:01
said Jamie now you need to wear gloves
2:04
because you forget you know and put your
2:08
hand
2:09
places that are hurt so he wouldn't he
2:19
was tougher than that well he did the
2:24
jalapenos and he said just a second
2:28
during the I've got to take a break I've
2:30
got to go to the bathroom got to run to
2:34
the restroom so we said fine and he came
2:41
out of the bathroom and he asked for
2:45
some milk and he said it on fire so take
2:51
my advice when I say we're robbers we're
2:55
rubbish because they can save you a lot
2:58
of pain so I have cut these into and
3:04
just my personal preference I'm gonna
3:06
need a little spoon y'all my personal
3:11
preference I'm making my how opinions is
3:17
I like to try to cut the stem down the
3:22
center too because I just think it makes
3:24
a real pretty presentation so you see
3:28
all these seeds and veins y'all that's
3:32
where your heat comes from and so some
3:37
people like my husband Michael he would
3:41
not want me to remove the seeds but I
3:44
have to make these so that everyone can
3:47
eat them and even and that's even
3:53
questionable because sometimes the hell
3:56
opinio itself is just hot so here we go
4:01
I'm gonna get rid of that vein scrape
4:03
that Gentz vein mount at bein out so
4:09
there we go I want everyone off amount
4:13
and I'm just gonna push that to the side
4:15
and I'm gonna show y'all how I make
4:19
these and they are wonderful I got a
4:23
point
4:23
Oh breakfast sausage and I'm gonna just
4:28
fill up one side of this pepper with
4:32
that and you can see I'm doing it wrong
4:35
because you won't have any problem you
4:39
know getting that done in the airfryer
4:41
so just like that and then I take me a
4:46
block of cream cheese it's hard to work
4:58
with gloves on y'all open my cream
5:05
cheese and I'm gonna pinch off a little
5:12
cream cheese about the same amount of
5:13
cream cheese as I did the sausage and
5:20
you're talking about that cream cheese
5:22
and that's sausage when it gets together
5:26
in meats it is so so good now we're just
5:33
gonna put that back together just like
5:35
that just like that that's perfect see
5:40
the way that just came right back
5:42
together so I'm going to take my piece
5:47
of bacon and you have to make sure that
5:48
you use a thin thin bacon because if you
5:52
use a thick it won't adhere to that
5:55
pepper and it'll just want to curl up
5:58
and do its own thing so we're just gonna
6:02
take our bacon and just wrap it around
6:08
just like that like a mummy style you
6:11
know what I mean and if you're using
6:14
small Halla piñas you might can even cut
6:18
your piece of bacon in half but I like
6:22
my meaty so there you go I mean just
6:25
that easy
6:27
and you know you can make these up ahead
6:29
of time if you feel like you're gonna be
6:32
rushed or in a hurry when it's time to
6:34
serve these
6:35
just make them up ahead you could
6:38
actually go ahead and cook them and then
6:40
put them back in the airfryer you know
6:44
right before you want to serve them and
6:46
just you know reheat them this machine
6:50
reheats so well y'all this just runs
6:57
circles around a microwave because you
7:00
know how things don't get crisp in a
7:03
microwave but this that hot air this
7:07
will crisp it right back up so I'm gonna
7:10
put this one in here and I'm gonna I'm
7:15
gonna make one more and again I'm gonna
7:25
try to cut this stem down the middle too
7:31
because I think presentation is so
7:35
important and I really do like to get
7:41
that just like that alright so the same
7:45
thing here we're going to de-seed it and
7:48
devein it you know there's something
7:53
about peppers and I can't remember which
7:57
it is but one end of the pepper can be a
8:00
lot hotter than the other end and I
8:03
can't for the life of me remember the
8:05
reason but I think it's the closer you
8:08
get to the stem the hotter it gets so
8:13
anyway we're ready to do this other one
8:15
and like I said you can prep these early
8:19
in the day y'all stick them in the
8:21
fridge rater and then cook them right
8:25
before you guess get there or as they're
8:28
coming in alright so sausage on this
8:34
side
8:37
mmm so you know the you the sky really
8:42
is the limit on what you can stuff these
8:45
with you can use your imagination I'm
8:49
using that soft cream cheese or you can
8:52
I know lots of restaurants you can go in
8:55
and they'll have cheese stuffed
9:00
jalapenos and they'll use um like
9:05
cheddar like a yellow cheddar stuffing
9:09
with that personally the cream cheese is
9:14
so much better so before if I've ever
9:18
been in a restaurant and I was looking
9:19
for stuffed jalapenos and they tell me
9:22
they're stuffed with cheddar I won't
9:26
order them because I like mine and I
9:30
like mine and I don't know that I've
9:33
ever seen this done in any restaurant
9:37
besides ours all right so this one I got
9:41
stuffed real full look at that that's
9:44
gonna be a good one to grab okay so here
9:50
we go another thin slice of bacon and
9:54
I'm gonna pull him to make him a little
9:56
bit thinner and I'm gonna start wrapping
10:04
until I've got him completely encased in
10:10
bacon that is gonna be one yummy pepper
10:18
all right
10:20
so I'm gonna cook these when I was
10:24
designing this air fryer y'all you know
10:27
you see what the small appliance should
10:29
get a little booklet you know and you
10:30
have to refer back to that booklet and
10:33
normally if you're like me you've put it
10:35
in a drawer and then you got to scramble
10:37
to find the drawer that's got the little
10:39
booklet and I didn't want y'all to have
10:41
to do that I wanted you to just be able
10:46
to look up top I came up with icons
10:50
of the most food the most ordinary of
10:54
foods that I feel like everybody will be
10:56
cooking like french fries Pete some
10:59
muffins toast
11:01
this makes Incredible toast
11:06
reheat and you've got to keep warm but
11:10
no no all right vegetables and this is
11:13
showing jalapenos and it tells me to
11:16
cook that at it tells me to cook that at
11:23
385 so I just think they're so helpful
11:28
all right so they're in there and this
11:32
is our temperature and there's 385 right
11:36
there and I'm gonna start off let's see
11:42
this recipe yo is in my airfryer
11:45
cookbook all right I'm gonna take my
11:47
rubber gloves off a Sukkot this recipe
11:52
you can find in my airfryer cookbook and
11:55
it said unless they wrap you one slice
11:59
like place steamed rack in the airfryer
12:02
place for of the inference that
12:04
temperature to 400 so this one says 400
12:08
in airfryer for four minutes
12:10
and like I said when when you are
12:15
cooking out of my air a fryer book or
12:18
anybody's air fryer book you know the
12:22
breasts you buy at the grocery store may
12:24
be bigger than the breasts that I'm
12:26
buying at the grocery store so it's
12:28
really gonna have to be up to you to
12:30
adjust how long you're gonna cook but
12:33
I'm gonna set this one on the four
12:36
minutes just like it says and that
12:43
should be about right there and I'm
12:44
gonna go ahead and kick it up to 400 and
12:48
then we're gonna turn them over and cook
12:51
them for for four more minutes so eight
12:55
minutes total so I'm gonna be watching
12:58
those we're gonna take a quick break and
13:00
when we come back hopefully we will have
13:03

it's the sausage and cream cheese
14:25
stuffed how opinions and you remember I
14:29
told you I love to try to cut that stem
14:32
down the middle because I think it just

14:40
so look at that how that cooked up in
14:42

14:52
