12 count King’s Hawaiian Rolls

4-5 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 jar Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo Wing Sauce

1 package Ranch Dip Mix

Optional—Monterey Jack or Swiss cheese, cut into small squares

Add chicken, all but about ¼ cup of the buffalo sauce, and ranch mix in slow cooker. Cook on high for 4-5 hours , 6-7 hours if frozen.

Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from your slow cooker and shred with forks. Add chicken back into pot, add additional buffalo sauce, stir, and let warm for 10 minutes.

Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half, add sliced cheese if desired, and toast in the oven at 175° for 5-6 minutes or until cheese is melted. Spoon shredded chicken mixture over rolls and add tops. Serve with fresh veggies and Ranch dip.

Italian Grinder with Slaw

By Ryan Spelts

I was feeding 7 people, so I purchased two Ciabatta bread loaves from Smith’s and sliced them in half. You may need to decrease the quantities if you are only making a few sandwiches. This made two full loaves worth of sandwich making 8 large servings.

1 lb. salami

1 lb. pepperoni

1.5 lb. smoked turkey

1 lb. Munster cheese

1 lb. Provolone cheese

1 head iceberg lettuce

2 tomatoes

1 red onion

½ jar banana peppers

¼ cup Italian dressing

1 cup Mayo

Salt and pepper to taste.

Optional: Olive slices, pickles

I put the meat and cheese on the sliced bread and baked under the broiler for about 10 minutes until the cheese was browning. For the slaw (this is the magic maker): chop the lettuce, onion, and banana peppers into tiny pieces. Pour into a large bowl and add dressing, mayo, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Once the cheese is melted, pull the sandwiches from the oven. Add the slaw and any extra toppings you like and enjoy!

Cranberry Mayo Turkey Sandwiches

By Hailey Minton

This easy to make cranberry mayonnaise is the perfect complement to your favorite turkey sandwich.

Deli turkey, sliced thin Hoagie buns or your favorite bread

2 Tbsp. mayonnaise

2 Tbsp. whole berry cranberry sauce

Salt to taste

Optional toppings: cucumber, sprouts, fresh spinach, tomatoes, Monterey jack or mozzarella cheese.

Mix mayonnaise and cranberry sauce until blended and creamy. Spread onto hoagie buns or bread, layer turkey and toppings on, and enjoy!

Air Fryer Chips

By Ryan Spelts

6-7 Russet Potatoes, sliced thin 2- 4 Tbsp. Olive Oil

Salt to taste

Peel potatoes with a vegetable peeler. Using a mandolin or sharp knife, cut potatoes into thin slices. Transfer to a large bowl, add ice cubes and enough ice water to cover. Soak for 15 minutes and drain. Repeat this soaking process another 15 minutes. Drain potatoes, place on towels and pat dry. Add to a large mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with table salt. Place potatoes in single layers in the bottom of the air fryer, add another layer in the basket. Cook at 400° for 15 minutes, or until crisp or slightly browned in spots (check them often to ensure they don’t get overcooked).

Convection Oven Option

for larger batches: Place potato slices on a large baking sheet, cook at 350° for 15 minutes or until slightly browned.
