That carrot cake looks so good. I liked the last one I made, but was the only one
I bought Annies cinnamon rolls--they're on sale at Costco this month. I never had those before and really looking forward to making them tomorrow.
I've had Immaculate Baking Co, but those haven't been on sale

We didn't care much for them. I'll have to make them myself
I'd love some really good french fries, the kind they have at fairs in big paper cups, or the pricey ones at that burger joint
I wonder if there's a way to make french fries without deep-frying them? I suppose doing them in batches would require less oil overall. The first ones would be cooling while the newer batches were cooking- but I'd be OK with that because I hate burning my mouth and sometimes it's hard to wait for them to cool.

I make homemade fries in the air fryer with only a small amount of oil, like 1/2 teaspoon. Of course they aren't as good as the deep fried kind, but a lot healthier. I also use the air fryer for frozen fries.
I also do them in the air fryer. I cut potatoes and put them in a bowl. Then I season with garlic, onion, black pepper, nutritional yeast and 1/2 TBLSP of olive oil. Sometimes I add vegan parm. That way I can mix it all up and the potatoes get coated. Definitely better than deep frying. And 1/2 tblsp of olive oil is only 60 calories.
I don't currently have an air fryer. I was wondering if seasoning the potatoes before air-frying them would mess with the herbal seasonings somehow; I'm assuming that air-frying gets things hotter than baking normally would.
I've made them in oven with just a little oil. I like to oil a parchment, or silicone baking sheet on a cookie sheet, and toss around. Or an oil spray.
It's like 450 F for long time for fry cuts, but they are good.

I've done that too using a zip lock bag and shake them all up.
Sadly, not so. Less oil is absorbed by the food when deep frying compared to shallow frying.
I see nothing wrong in eating chips occasionally as nothing compares to their taste. Ask any Brighton seagull! They absolutely love chips.
I like triple fried ones as not only do they have the most fabulous golden crust but the inside is fluffy. We usually have chips twice a month during our meetups, when we go out for a meal.

Air frying is the same as baking/roasting. An air fryer reaches the optimal temperature much faster than a traditional oven and cooks slighter quicker. You have a maximum temperature of 200 C. My Siemens (normal) oven goes up to 250 C. However, it takes much longer to reach this temperature.
When you use seasoning (herbs or/and spices) when cooking vegetables or spuds, it all depends on the temperature and baking time. If I'm making vegetables, I usually season them before adding them to the AF. However, some spices burn easily so if I'm making wedges, I usually add the seasoning towards the end of the baking time especially when using chilli flakes or smoked paprika.
I'm a huge fan of using an air fryer but nothing compares to deep fried chips. The ones made in an AF are more like traditional baked wedges.
There is a really nice chip place near me. They do seitan sausages, vegan burgers and tofu fish. I like the chips the best.
A big, fat chip sandwich, dripping with vegan butter and some broccoli wings on the side.
I have been watching The King of Queens the past few days and the characters are often eating sandwiches or deli. I might get some deli style vegan food tomorrow. Vegan meat slices and olives. I have vegan cheese in the fridge so I might get some fresh bread. I suppose bagels would be considered deli.
Vegetable lasagna with a white bechamel sauce. I'm googling recipes. Maybe I'll make one for thanksgiving!
I'm craving buffalo seitan. I might make some nuggets tomorrow.
