I brought Barb's firecrackers recipe to my niece's Fourth of July party. I wanted something portable, simple to make, and of course, really tasty! I love Mexican food, so this recipe, inspired by South of the border food, yet created in New England, was my go-to. Adjust the heat with hotter or milder taco seasoning.

Chef John's Chicken Marsala
Certain dishes have a special place in my heart and this is one of them. The first real restaurant job I had in San Francisco was at a small place called Ryan's Cafe. It was run by a husband and wife team, Michael and Lenore Ryan. They were true 'foodies' before that term had even been coined. This chicken Marsala dish was the most popular dish on the menu and the first one that I was taught.
