>> Fav chains include tropical smoothie cafe & the catch (fried seafood & chicken) <<
There's a smoothie place at a mall that I enjoyed, and we recently discovered a new seafood restaurant, but I can't remember the name of either LOL
>> Fav snacks include yogurt & sunflower seeds <<
Oh yeah, I love yogurt. My favorite is Brown Cow because of the cream top, but I like Oui too.
Sunflower seeds are a favorite.
>>Ysabetwordsmith is a fav of mine but she isn't food focused.<<
Thanks for the rec! :D While food isn't one of my main topics, it is easy to find on my blog via the Food and Recipe tags. Cookbook reviews are under Reviews.
>>New blogs to follow & new cooking ideas or cookbooks. I just got a fancy new air fryer/pressure cooker/multicooker so I'm looking for things to cook in it.<<
Doug has an Instant Pot, which does pressure cooking. We are extremely fond of it for making corned beef or any kind of legume dish. These things cook much faster and come out more tender. Recently we got The Indian Instant Pot Cookbook and marked a bunch of recipes to try, though we haven't actually made any of the new ones yet.
Since it's summer, strawberries are coming into season. Summer squash won't be far behind.

We just bought strawberries to make a fruit curry.
