Sour Cream Chicken
“Instead of whole, bone in chicken, I use boneless chicken breast. I’ll serve it with sides, or on a toasted bun with favorite sandwich toppings. Because they heat up great in the air fryer, leftovers can be made into wraps too!” —Cindy Nerat

Spiced Apple Pork Roast
“This is a fall favorite in my house—we have it all throughout the fall and winter months. I make it the day I can applesauce from the apples on my tree. My family loves it! I often double the applesauce and serve it on the side—it’s so good!” —Holly Balzer

Hearty Beef Stroganoff
“The last time I made this recipe, I used pork tenderloin. This month, I had Baldwin points to use up so I ordered the beef tenderloin dinner (rare temperature) with the grain of the week and salad. I sliced the tenderloin and used it in this recipe. I also ordered mushrooms and sour cream/horseradish sauce to use in the recipe. Husband swooned!” —Ann Sheehy
