Oven-Fried Chicken
Fried chicken is a mess to make. After watching an episode of the Barefoot Contessa, I decided to try it. It’s called Oven Fried Chicken, which you fry in the beginning and then finish it in the oven. It’s not nearly as messy as the full fried version. It's crispy and moist and goes really well with mashed potatoes.

General Tso’s Chicken
My daughter Zoe came home for the holidays from the east coast and she said General Tso’s chicken is one of the most popular dishes in any Chinese restaurant. I always loved going to Hunan restaurants when I lived in New York. There don’t seem to be many on the West Coast. Anyway, I decided to try to make her some. Note to self – it’s easier to order it from a restaurant, but it does work.

Fish Tacos originated in Baja California in Mexico, where they consist of grilled or fried fish, lettuce or cabbage, pico de gallo, and a sour cream or citrus/mayonnaise sauce, all placed on top of a corn or flour tortilla. In the US, they were first popularized by the Rubio's fast-food chain, and remain most popular in California, Colorado, and Washington.
