Best Air Fryer for Feeding Large Groups | SURPRISED ME

Air fryers have taken the culinary world by storm and for a good reason. The biggest advantage of an air fryer is its compact size, fast cooking speed, and relative healthiness.

There are times when its usefulness diminishes significantly when you're hosting a party, family gathering, or simply have a large group of hungry guests to feed, a standard-sized air fryer may not cut it. That's where a large air fryer shines.

My New XL Air Fryer Stands Out!

Recently I purchased a new fancy and large air fryer to help me out, it is called Typhur Dome Air Fryer, which can handle more food in a single layer (e.g. 32 chicken wings, 12-inch pizza), saving my time and ensuring everyone gets their crispy favorites without delay.

Enjoying the Season with BabbleBoxx Food Favorites for Fall

This is a sponsored conversation on behalf of BabbleBoxx.com. As always, all opinions are my own.

It can be hard saying goodbye to summer. But with the fall comes so many fun activities, smells, fashion, and FOOD! One of favorite things about fall is the comfort foods. I recently received Babbleboxx's Food Favorites for Fall and it was filled with tons of fun products to enjoy all that the season brings.




Babbleboxx out did themselves and put together the perfect Food Favorites for Fall box. Every product in this box was perfect for my family and I to enjoy this season whether on-the-go or snuggle up at home. I love everything fall bring from pumpkins, colorful leaves, boots, apple picking, comfort foods, football, and so much more. This box was perfect to explore all that the season brings.

Snacking on Plan with FITCRUNCH + Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Nugget Recipe

I received this product for free from Moms Meet to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links.

I have some amazing news that I haven't shared anywhere else yet, but I am very proud of it. I have officially lost 50 pounds and am at my lowest weight I have been before I got pregnant with my son (probably my daughter too, but I didn't weigh myself then). I wish I had kept better track of this journey because it has been a long one. Figuring out what works for my body. Understanding that nutrition is number one and strength is more important than cardio. It has been a learning curve for sure.


I am a firm believer in making food choices that are smart. Snacking is the number one issue concerning people who are trying to lose weight. And they always want to know how to stop it. And I say, why? Just be smart about your snacking choices. I was recently sent some FITCRUNCH Cheddar Cheese High Protein Puffs to try out with my family.

We have been meal prepping, but sometimes we forget to make ahead or get out of our schedule and can't find the time. I recently was sent some awesome goodies found in the frozen food aisle called Wildscape Meals.




Wildscape is a fresh take on frozen meals. Their mission is to make frozen food worth getting excited about. Something that celebrates the vibrancy, flavors, and textures that nature offers us.
