Turns out we've made quite a few pancakes in the last three years. You certainly can't blame us. A pancake for dinner can be quick comfort food, whatever you're craving. In the mood for an extra treat? Make Rye and Bacon Pancakes. Or maybe load all the veggies on your plate with Japanese Vegetable Pancakes, Then we have besan cheela, quinoa pancakes, Banh Xeo, the list goes on. Dive right into pancakes and see what y...

Remember when we went away on that "special project"? Turns out we were on Season 15 on the Great American Food Truck Race! Us, Tyler Florence, and eight other food trucks driving around California. This was the hottest season ever, and boy do we have a lot to talk about. 

But first, check out the premiere on the Food Network or Discover+ streaming. You can catch us on June 5th at 9:00 PM EST.

You all know the Dinner Sisters love a vegetable forward dinner. We can't get enough of platter salads, or noodles, or dumplings, or dessert for that matter. Hattie McKinnon's newest cookbook, To Asia, With Love, serves us all of our favorites. Tara's pick starts with all the essentials of an Asian pantry, and ends with all of our favorites. We all highly recommended this book and can't wait to cook from it agai...

Cold Thai Noodle Salad from the Modern Proper, Rice Noodle Salad with Steak from What’s Gaby Cooking, and Rice Noodles with Shrimp and Coconut-Lime Dressing from Bon Appetit
Something about a rice noodle that lends itself to a cool, refreshing salad. We have three this week with plenty of herbs, vegetables, and protein for a satisfying meal. Grab a beer. Get out the patio furniture and dig into a salad that matches these warm s...

Seems like we see the same old salmon recipes in the search engine. You have so many choices, if you like lemon or teriyaki sauce. Luckily, we were able to find a couple great salmon recipes that got us out of that rut. Plus a bonus side dish perfect for a weeknight or potluck, creamy and herby potato salad. Really, we can’t go wrong with this episode.

Salad season is here! We’re declaring it…even if you’ve got snow in your neck of the woods. (Our deepest sympathies.) Believe it or not, this is our fifth episode devoted to salads. Apparently our love for greens and vegetables and crunchy things runs deep. From beans to freeform to the most composed platter, we have salads for every taste this episode. Dig in!

We’re back and ready to do some stir fry! While we had a great time on our special project, it is so good to be back “home” on the podcast. This episode we dug a little bit into some Chinese-style stir fries: tofu, chicken, and beef. Trying some new techniques and ingredients this episode was not only fun, but will be another way we can make dinner delicious. Can’t wait for the rest of the season. 
Stir-Fried Beef With Kale and...

This is our fourth, no wait FIFTH, episode about soup. Which we think is just about the right number of episodes. There’s nothing better to eat when it’s cold outside. Or any other time of year. Soup is the food we eat when we’re under the weather, or need a little bit of comfort. Perfect for the middle of February! This Deep Dive episode talks about all of our favorites, along with some soup thoughts, tips, and tricks.

Sometimes you just need some real talk...and some pancakes. Our interview with Laura Fuentes of Momables managed to do both. Laura let us in on a few of her favorite and effective ways to keep up with a growing family, dinner, and lunches for the week. She also shared a chicken recipe that we can't wait to try. You're bound to find one tip, technique, or recipe to try in this episode.

Continuing our theme of pantry items from a couple weeks ago, we’re talking all about tinned fish. Which, despite our experience growing up, is way more than Starkist. Having a can of tuna is a lifesaver sometimes, but what if we made a bigger meal or deal out of it? The recipes for this episode will expand beyond the can of tuna, and enliven that old workhorse.

Caroline Fausel of Olive You Whole joins us to share all of her tips, tricks and well-earned wisdom about freezer meal prepping. Whether you're Paleo, thinking of dipping a toe into something new or just want to make better use of your freezer - there is something for everyone in this episode.

Even Kate learned about cooking in silicone stasher bags - straight from the freezer into the oven!

 Deep diving into the pantry this week, we have some throwbacks, advice, and some true life confessions. Our favorite pasta dish and pantry lifesaver, Pasta with Chickpeas from Smitten Kitchen is a highlight. But so was the Thai Noodle Salad with Almond Butter Tofu. Not to forget a (technically fridge-staple) Cream Cheese Shin Ramen from Lady and the Pups. We may not be the folks to look to for advice about labeling, but we do have...

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 ...

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 Ki...

Sometimes we miss the mark a bit and frankly, that happened with the cookbook we intended to review this week. But we were not deterred. Between Betsy, Kate, and Tara, we found a whole slew of cookbooks. You can detox, try Mediterranean cooking, make a simple vegetarian supper, or go all out with your Christmas baking with this list. We know we can't wait to hear what you try. Or maybe recommend a book for us!
