Sheaffer Sims says
Can’t wait to listen!!!!!!!
Jane says
FUN!!! Maybe it is time to invest in an air fryer?! Can’t wait to listen!
Suny Gal says
Just updated my kitchen with new appliances. Put in a convection oven microwave. So now I can use the convection mode to cook foods, which is the same as air frying. Think this option is much better than having a separate air fryer appliance on my countertop.
Erin Rock says
Love this episode – you’ve inspired me to buy an air fryer!! Can you let us know what your favorite “basket” air fryer is?
Mix and Match Mama says
This is the one I love: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079L2ZQGB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have to 110% agree with you about the instant pot. My husband bought one and the only thing I found that I like to cook in it is a pot of beans. Now it’s not “instant” but I will say that they do cook faster than if I would cook them on the stove. The only thing I would recommend the instant pot for is making baby food! I made all of my daughters fruits and vegetables, starting with purées and working up so small, soft bites with her age. It cooked the fruits and veggies to where they were so soft! So if any mommas want to make baby food, then I loved it for this reason. Let’s be real, there’s nothing “instant” about making baby food any ways when I would make it for 2 months at a time.

Am I the only one who gets a malware warning when trying to visit Erika’s blog?
Mix and Match Mama says
I just checked to see if I get it and I don’t. That’s weird!
Raquel Whatley says
I get that too.. I’ve not been able to get to her site for quite a while now.
STEPHANIE SANDERS says
I haven’t been able to access her blog for a few weeks now. I get a “Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools blocked this page”
lauren says
Mine is Bitdefender too. Kinda makes me want to punch the monitor.
This has happened in the past and it makes me wonder if it’s the WebHost or domain provider or ip address?
Beth says
Same! Haven’t been able to see any of her pictures in weeks. Something is definitely going on.
Mix and Match Mama says
I told Erika about all of these comments, and she’s looking into it. Thank you for letting me know!
Marie says
I loved how you said you like to do devotionals that mirror the life season you are in.
This might be a lot of work on your end, but do you think you should share some past devotionals you’ve done and where they’ve hit in you in your life.
I feel like I’m constantly searching for devotions that reflect my life stage.
Mix and Match Mama says
Beth Moore has my very favorite Bible studies (they’re all super in-depth!). You really cannot go wrong with any of them, but make sure you rent the videos and do them when prompted in the study (they make a huge difference). If you haven’t read Sally Clarkson and you’re a mom with kids in the house, start with her devotionals and books!!! They’re SO GOOD!!
Marie says
Thank you!!!!
Missy says
Have y’all seen this dual air fryer?? I think I’m going to get this one. I have a few friends who have this one and love that it has two baskets!! https://www.target.com/p/ninja-foodi-6-in-1-8qt-2-basket-air-fryer-with-dualzone-technology-dz201/-/A-79991380#lnk=sametab
Constance says
I’m team instapot!! Hahaha I love that I can throw in frozen meat in the instapot, pressure cook it, and have a meal in 30-45 mins. I don’t like having to prep dinner in the morning because I’m already making breakfast and lunch then! If I don’t have ingredients ready for the slow cooker in the morning, it’s too late to use it in the afternoon. Also, I like that the instapot has a slow cooker and pressure cooker and so many other options so I have less appliances on my countertop ? thanks for sharing!!! Love your podcast ??☺️
Laura says
I know it is more work…but I would love to see you guys do show notes for the episodes so you can link the products you talk about in the episode. Being able to click on the exact skin care products or air fryer you have would be amazing!
Mix and Match Mama says
Well our notes didn’t update today! We have been working on it for HOURS even though we see it on our side, it’s not publishing “out in the internet”. Uggg! I’m sorry!
Cindy says
Will you please share a link to your favorite crockpot? Thank you! ?
Mix and Match Mama says
I love the All Clad from Williams-Sonoma!!
Lauren says
I listened to this podcast on my run and loved it so much I came home and made something in our crock pot for dinner! I agree about using my air fryer every single day. It is the most used kitchen appliance we have!
Haley Perry says
Hey! I just listened to the podcast. I have a ninja foodi, which is a slow cooker, instant pot, air fryer, you can sauté meat in it… It does everything! And it is one piece of equipment. Such a small footprint for my kitchen counter! 🙂 I think you would love it! You can even slow cook a meat, then air fry it so it’s tender inside, then crispy outside. And when it comes to using the instant pot function, I really only use it when I forgot to take the meat out of the freezer and I need to cook a full stew from frozen LOL. So, for super organized people like you and Erica who are sitting your meat out to D thaw the night before, you don’t need one. But either, who I’m super on organized, really need this function LOL
Lindsay Miller says
I LOVED this podcast! It just came at the perfect time – gave me all the fall cozy vibes. I’m with Shay. . . Strolling through the grocery store is so relaxing. Before kids? I probably would’ve laughed too. But there’s just something peaceful about knowing you have all your “main” groceries at home and you get to just stroll and find something new and yummy for your fam to try. It’s a way to go above and beyond for your fam while having a peaceful/grateful heart AND finding some time for yourself. Mindset is everything! WIN WIN!!!! ? or or or. . . It’s our enneagram 8 coming out because we get to complete a task and be productive WHILE finding time for ourselves? Hehe
