Dinner Sisters

Warm up this winter, no matter how cold it is, with any of our three recipes this week. Vegetables are always our favorites for dinner and these recipes all hit it out of the park. The couscous salad could really use any of your favorite hard squashes. Butternut or hubbard, or even a kabocha if one is in the market. The Orange Teriyaki Beef Stew is great for a New Year's resolution of less take out. Just don't expect the quick turnaround. But the flavor just might make up for it. Lastly, the white wine coq au vin won Kate's heart with the ultimate in cozy braised chicken. Serve that with mashed potatoes and settle in for winter's nap.

We're wrapping up 2021 here at the Dinner Sisters, and put together an episode of our favorites. 

I (Betsy) picked three recipes for my family favorites, including: 

Chicken Spaghetti from Pioneer Woman that we featured in the Creamy Pasta Bakes episode (147). If you're looking to change up the dinner menu - without an "adventure" - this could be just the ticket! 

Also notable, the No-Knead Garlic Flatbread from King Arthur Flour and the Turkish Pizza, both from the Flatbreads episode, as well as the Hot Brown sandwich from Episode 151: Toasties

Kate's sleeper hit was the Banh Mi Meatball Sandwich, from Episode 211: Out of the Box Sandwiches. She couldn't stop eating them, and also recommended making and freezing just the meatballs as a meal prep hack. 

Kate and I both agreed that the Dahi Toasts by Priya Krishna were the favorite on the year, for both the great recipe and the memories that came along with them. 

Can't wait to see you in 2022, we have a lot of fun recipes ready to be cooked up and are ready for another trip around the sun with you all! Here's to figuring out what the heck to have for dinner!

It's no secret that Kate and Tara both love to bake. With the holidays behind us, you would think we'd be all out of baking conversation. Hardly! Join us for a fun chat about all things baking, some of Kate and Tara's favorite recipes and cookbooks, and general fun. Don't worry, Betsy makes sure they stay on track.

Nadiya Bakes: Nadiya Hussain

Clean Slate: Martha Stewart Living

Claudia Roden's Mediterranean: Treasured Recipes from a Lifetime of Travel [A Cookbook]

 Our tagline: "learn a little more about food" isn't just for show. We get such a kick out of digging into all things food. Whether an amazing rice tip from Andrea Nguyen, or protips from friends, we love to pass it all along to you as well. This week we have a wide ranging interview with Sean Wheeler of Sena Sea Wild Alaskan Fish. She tells us all about her family business, how to properly thaw fish, and even some recipes. (We did get some fish to try, but the opinions are our own.) In the end, we have the tagline for a reason: to continue to grow as cooks with all of you.
