Food is a magical thing. It is an amazing part of world culture. In certain cultures, food plays a super important role in bringing family, friends, and even strangers together in harmony. At its core, a group of people sharing a meal together is wholesome and something that unites us. These days, it seems like in American culture, everything is so fast-paced, and there is apparently no time for anything anymore. I’ve found that this comes up on the subject of family dinners.
Too Fast for Family Dinner
Most American parents agree that sitting at the table each night for dinner is extremely important. Unfortunately, less than half of American households sit down each night at the dinner table with the entire family. Food is such an important part of this! Food is not why American households don’t share meals the same way they used to, but the world of food and cooking is constantly evolving.

Food Made Simple
With everyone constantly feeling like they don’t have enough time to make a full-course meal each night for their family, inventors and entrepreneurs have come up with some nifty inventions to streamline cooking and make everything quicker, easier, and just as tasty! So many things have come out in the name of cooking.
Whether you’re using an ingenious instant pot for cooking a hearty pot of soup, sous vide for steak, a personal fruit and veggie blender for making a smoothie of any combination, or a toaster oven for the obvious breaded foods, these kitchen tools make everything simpler and aim to bring the family together again.
My favorite kitchen tool is the magical air fryer. The air fryer is perfect for cooking nearly anything. If you want to know what foods are better in the air fryer than anywhere else, look no further than this list below. Also, check out some local Michigan dining spots!
