Dinner Sisters

Plant based food, if one is trying it for the first time, can be intimidating. The ingredients list, techniques, and tastes can feel foreign for someone who is new to it. But we found this week that trying out a new way of cooking and eating is a whole lot simpler when you’re making foods you already love. Here we are- all about vegan Tex Mex. A little heat, some salsa and beans, and a whole lot of taste. This time it’s plant based. Whether you’re making the full time switch to vegan eating or are looking for some whole foods recipes, any of these recipes would be a tasty addition to your weeknight rotation.

Fresh fruits and vegetables this time of year are from a limited number of options. We have hit a wall with roasted parsnips and carrots, no matter how delicious a recipe. Instead, we have three recipes that use light and lively dressings to make some winter dinner salads that will brighten up your dinner plate. Try the Winter Slaw with Chicken, Pomegranate, and Toasted Pine Nuts for a make ahead dinner or lunch. We liked the Moroccan Carrot Salad with Oranges and Medjool Dates for its warm spices and sweet dates. The Winter Bean Salad with Fennel and Clementines made us look forward to lunches with friends but will be delicious as a light supper until then. Any of these recipes will shake up your roasted dinner routine and (hopefully) bring a little winter thaw right into your kitchen.

Here at the Dinner Sisters we have come to realize we are solid fans of a few things: fish sauce, dinner salads, and now, toast. To honor one of our very favorite things we have a whole episode of toast. Smothered with cheesy sauce, as a base for wintery beans and greens, and sandwiching savory yogurt filling. We have something for everyone this episode and we hope you find a toast to love as much as we do.

One hundred and fifty episodes later, we’re having another fabulous dinner party. Though we’re still celebrating more hypothetically than in real life, we’re still thrilled. This time we have a make ahead meal that is decadent enough for a winter’s night. A platter of roasted vegetables, some poached fish or chicken, hard boiled eggs, and some crusty bread are a fantastic foil to the rich and creamy aioli from Not Without Salt. Round it out with chocolate mousse from Once Upon a chef. Her recipe is clear, streamlined, and is a chocolate lover’s dream. Sure, we’re still having hypothetical dinner parties. But when the food is this good, we’re happy to at least share it over the airwaves.

We rely on stir fries to get dinner on the table fast, but we've never dedicated an entire episode them...before this week! 

Listen in for an easy, listener-recommended broccoli and chicken stir fry from Bon Appetit, a stir fry sauce to keep in the fridge from Woks of Life and the American Chinese food classic, Singapore noodles.
