Hi! I'm Cathy Yoder - "The REAL Air Fryer Queen" 👑 👩‍🍳

As a busy mom of 8 kids who doesn't LOVE to cook, I needed a more inspiring way to feed my family--several times a day. That's when I had an "aha moment" and discovered I could use an AIR FRYER to cook real food, using real recipes, REAL FAST.

Now, I'm on a mission to EMPOWER everyday cooks (like me) to feel more confident in the kitchen. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, every air fryer recipe here will help you make delicious (and mostly nutritious) air fryer meals in minutes.

So, if you're ready to unleash the power of your air fryer, join me here at Empowered Cooks. We'll make recipes ranging from amazing air fryer chicken to salmon, steak, veggies, baked goods, and desserts in a fraction of the time it normally takes. Are you ready? Let's go! 🚀

About 6 months ago, I had a brand, new Air Fryer sitting in the box, waiting to be used. A friend told me about your YouTube channel, and watching your videos gave me the courage to try it out.
My family now loves using the Air Fryer, and I've watched many of your episodes for more ideas. At Christmas, I bought your Air Fryer Recipes cookbook. It is amazing!
The layout on your pages are easy-to-read, and I'm so excited about how many great recipes you've packed inside your cookbook.
Thank you so much for all you have done to help me and others learn to use our Air Fryers!

You completely changed my use of an air fryer.... Several years ago I bought a football shaped with fine-wire basket. It's smoked and the basket was a nightmare to wash. I quickly sold it. About a year ago I ran into your videos and was inspired to try again after getting a basket style air fryer that you tested on your channel. With your guidance it has become an indispensable part of my kitchen. Thanks Cathy and thanks for today's video which was full of great tips as usual.

I've learned more on your channel than you will ever know, and you have made cooking in an airfryer so easy. You're amazing, and I appreciate you.

A additional tip to tip 8... I personally never use parchment paper because I purchased two small Pyrex glass dishes (one is small an oval shaped dish, the other is a bit bigger and square and fits my square shaped basket with a few cm around for circulation)

When I got my air fryer a couple months ago, I caught you on YouTube and I watched you and if it wasn’t for you I don’t think I would know what I can cook in my air fryer. Thank you. Love you Channel it was hilarious for me.😂I needed help THANK YOU ❤️❤️

I have been balking at buying an air fryer and decided to watch a lot of air fryer videos to see if it was really what I wanted. Your videos have changed my opinion and I am finally going shopping this morning to buy one and prepare my work weeks meals to avoid oven usuage. I always feel like it is a waste to use oven for one person. HUGE THANKS!

[triathletenewyork]

It really helps me all the videos that you have gives me an opportunity to try new stuff. I have a small one because I live in a tiny house and all the things that you’ve been saying have been extremely helpful and I’m loving my food. Thank you so so much. Keep up the good work and keep up the good recipes. Thank you.
