I tried making a few family dinners in my air fryer, and found the results were pretty mixed.

My family uses our air fryer for almost everything, since turning on the oven can quickly heat up our house, and we live in Florida.Luckily, I'm convinced that my two-basket Ninja Foodi air fryer can do it all. I decided to test its limits by using it to make three of my family's favorite weeknight dinners.I found air-fryer recipes for spaghetti and meatballs, tacos and Mexican rice, and mac and cheese with chicken nuggets to make for my family.Here's how they turned out, and which dishes I'd make again.

I felt confident about making meatballs, since I've cooked them in my air fryer before.

I love my two-basket Ninja Foodi air fryer.
