Air Fryer Bacon Brussels Sprouts

{ NEW COOKING VIDEO! }

I don’t know about you, but I’m a major creature of habit. I wake up every morning around 6am usually, I say “GOOD MORNING!” to Jackson in a high pitched annoying dog-mom voice, I check how much I slept on my FitBit, I make a cup of coffee from my Nespresso Vertuo machine and add collagen, heavy cream and stevia to it. Then I sit on the couch with Jackson in my lap and I finish up my blog post for the day. Exactly what I’m doing at the moment. But you know how I’ve mixed it up lately? I’ve gotten a little crazy. I’ve started adding cinnamon to my coffee. All thanks to Joy of Girls Gone Wod. I know cinnamon in coffee isn’t such brand new concept, but I had never tried it. I really never understood the point of the cinnamon on the Starbucks counter. But Joy knows everything so I copied her in Lake Tahoe and now my addiction has become my morning routine. If you haven’t tried cinnamon in your coffee, especially in a Nespresso Vertuo cup of coffee…do it now. Just be prepared to never leave the house again. Like me.

Another obsession is my air fryer. I’ve shared the pros and cons of having an air fryer in past air fryer recipe posts, but I still feel like I need to share those details every time since air fryers are such a new thing. So I’ll quickly share pros and cons. I have the NuWave 6qt Air Fryer and I love ittttt. Pros – I don’t have to heat up the house with the oven in the summer time, I don’t have to wait for the oven to pre-heat, I don’t have to dirty my oven when cooking chicken wings, my house doesn’t smoke up like it does with the oven sometimes (because the chicken wings made it so damn dirty), I can cook meat and veggies faster than in the oven, and lastly I can get brussels sprouts crispier than the oven. Example a. Cons – it’s massive and hard to store. But since I love it so much, I use it every single damn day. I’m in love with it. Especially when it comes to making brussels sprouts.

But that’s all I really want to talk about air fryers. Let’s talk about life instead. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s been going on lately –

Traveled to Dallas to visit family and got reminded why I’m not interested in reproducing.
Traveled to Charleston to chow down on some Southern food and remind myself why I don’t live somewhere warm and humid – bad hair and hurricanes.
Came home to do another profractional treatment and stayed indoors for 3 days straight – in turn I made Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Pumpkin Muffins, Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars, Biscuits & Gravy Casserole, Chocolate Tahini Cookies, and Chocolate Pecan Pie Cookie Cobbler. Holiday season is the best.
Doing my friends makeup tomorrow night as a test run for her makeup on her wedding day in New Zealand.
Planning for our trip to New Zealand next month!!
In horrible need of a pedicure.

That’s about it. And since I was stuck indoors for 3 days straight in hopes of not scaring the community with my bloody face, I tried out instacart for the first time. And I have to say, I was disappointed. I needed a couple items ASAP so I asked for 1 hour delivery time. On my $11 order, after taxes, tips and delivery fee, my total was $34!! WTF! Luckily I have the best people ever on instagram who told me about Amazon Prime Now! Which I had never heard of and feel old now because of. With my Amazon Prime account, I can order groceries from Whole Foods and get free 2 hour delivery! How rad is that?! And now I know that I can remove my face more than once a year because Amazon Prime Now will just leave the groceries on my doorstep and I never have to see the person with my horror show face. I’ve been recording video day by day of this profractional treatment and I CAN’T WAIT to share it with you!

Anywho, GO MAKE THESE BRUSSELS SPROUTS!
