Flaky white fish with crusty, caramelized edges is topped with a cilantro slaw and drizzled with a smoky sour cream sauce in this simple fish taco recipe. Baking the fish on a sheet pan is a little heathier and a lot less messy than frying it, and means cleanup will be a breeze! For family dinners or casual get-togethers, set this up as a taco bar with other toppings such as pico de gallo, avocado slices, pickled red onions, crumbled cotija cheese, and black beans.

Crissi's Sweet Potato Biscuits
Yummy sweet potato biscuits that rival Steamer's biscuits in Chincoteague, Virginia. You'll taste no better than this! My family hates sweet potatoes, but they snatch these up every time I make them! You could also substitute pumpkin for the sweet potato and cardamom for the nutmeg.
Instant Pot Japanese Curry
Japanese curry is easily one of the top national dishes of Japan, behind sushi, ramen, and miso soup. It is distinctly Japanese, varying enough from Indian or Thai curries to be its own. Making Japanese curry in the Instant Pot ensures the texture is perfect, and the meat, if used, is tender and juicy. What I was taught growing up: always, always use the roux as a base. Serve with rice!
