For these Buffalo Blitz Bites, we took classic Buffalo chicken dip mix—chopped chicken, cream cheese, cheddar, blue cheese, hot sauce, and chives—and baked it into a crisp puff pastry shell until bubbling and golden. Instead of eating the celery and carrots on the side, we tossed them in some apple cider vinegar and added them on top, making this a one-stop shop for all your favorite game-day flavors.

Baked in crescent roll cups with crispy fried onions, a rich, creamy mushroom sauce, and tender-yet-snappy green beans, these handheld wonders hit every note.

These sliders are a great way to repurpose those Thanksgiving leftovers or use deli-style, oven-roasted turkey. It’s a tasty pairing using whole berry cranberry sauce, which is nicely offset by the creaminess of mild cheddar and the more distinct flavor of gouda. Safe to say, it’s a real GOUDA idea to make these sliders for out-of-town guests visiting for Thanksgiving or the holidays.

Don’t look now, but we put deviled eggs in the air fryer. And guess what? They’re real good. Like, never-make-a-deviled-egg-the-same-way-again good. We know, it’s bold to try a new take on a traditional recipe of which most people have very strong opinions, but it was worth it. And while we love a classic deviled egg, these texture- and flavor-packed air fryer deviled eggs have got us giddy.
