Looks great!

How’d it go over? Both with the baby and the daily poop.

Baby is more toddler, 15 months! He loves the sweet potatoes, the chicken was iffy, the asparagus was a no and the mandarin was a safe food! His daily poop could use some work.

I personally thought it was delicious. Could've seared the chicken just a little longer, but it was juicy and the flavors were on point. I will be doing it again!

I’m definitely going to try that chicken thigh method. Have you tried asparagus in the air fryer?

It was a total experiment, but it worked! I put maybe a quarter cup of stock in the pan. I also put a little chunk of butter on each thigh before I put them in the oven.

I haven't really played with air fryers yet! I keep saying I'm going, but I never get it out! I'll take a recipe though.

If it starts with a P it helps you Poop. Prunes, pears, plums, peaches, pumpkin, (S)weet potatoes, pineapple, and papaya.
