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. | |||
| Episode 111: Pantry Pasta | 20 Apr 2020 | 00:27:22 | |
Shelf stable and full of calming carbs, pasta is going to get us through these long days lately. If you’ve already had one too many bowls of noodles and sauce, we have some ideas that go beyond red sauce. Combine a weeknight dinner favorite, baked salmon, with fettuccine and punchy lemon. Or make a cheesy one skillet pasta- a hit for the whole family. Maybe you’re like Kate and have a pantry shelf of rice noodles, too. Make a Thai noodle bowl for the comfort of noodles with some veggies, too. However you’re finding solace these days, we’re happy you’re sharing your dinner plans with us. | |||
| Episode 110: Simple Dinner Party | 13 Apr 2020 | 00:24:09 | |
A dinner party right in this moment in time looks very different than it did just two months ago. Yet we’re celebrating 110 episodes because of all you, dear listeners. Doing this podcast has always been a joy and sharing it, especially now, is a light for us. In order to properly celebrate we do have a cake! But no eggs, milk, or butter that sometimes is in short supply. We also have a light, pantry friendly chickpea flour pancake that can be dressed up for dinner or eaten in one hand watching TV. Plus, we’re finally putting Betsy’s celery salad in the spotlight. Trust us, you don’t want to wait as long as Kate did to make it. Whether you’re home or out doing the essential work we all need, thank you for listening. We’ll keep celebrating together as long as you’ll have us! | |||
| Episode 109: Broiler Dinner | 06 Apr 2020 | 00:27:47 | |
Broilers aren’t just for nachos anymore and we proved it with this episode. We made breakfast for dinner, steak, and two kinds of chicken in an effort to see how well the broiler could make dinner. Turns out it was a hidden gem in our kitchen. Recipes this episode were quick, a little toasty, yet still tender. Get your broiler preheated and see how you can make dinner a little different this week. https://dinnersisters.com/2020/04/06/episode-109-broiler-dinner/ | |||
| Episode 108: Melissa Clark's Instant Pot Cookbooks | 30 Mar 2020 | 00:31:34 | |
Lately our Instant Pots have been getting a workout, between all the dried beans and comfort foods we’re making. Our review of Melissa Clark’s Dinner in an Instant and Comfort in an Instant was just in time. Make a quick, all-in-one meal of lentils and sausages, or go all out with a pork shoulder Bo Ssam. Either way, we loved Melissa Clarks solid guidance, clear recipes, and the delicious results. Both books were chock full of recipes we’d like to make for dinner again and again. Get some use out of your Instant Pot! Tara made: Bo Ssam, Ginger Meatballs with Swiss Chard, Middle Eastern Lentils, and Potato, Cauliflower, and Pea Curry. “The Bo Ssam was delicious and made enough to share with the neighbors.” Betsy made: Quinoa Porridge with Maple Syrup, Vegetable Stock, Chicken Stock, and Risotto Carbonara. “The Quinoa Porridge was so good to have in the morning and it reheated really well. It’s going into my rotation.” Kate made: Lentils and Sausages, Mussels with Lager. “The mussels were my favorite. Simple to put together and a treat of a meal.” https://dinnersisters.com/2020/03/30/episode-108-comfort-in-an-instant/ | |||
| Episode 105: Make it Spicy | 09 Mar 2020 | 00:30:42 | |
Spicy food has lovers and haters. We're firmly in the lovers section and this week proves it. We traveled the world to find recipes for this week- from Jamaica to Korea and back again to the United States. All types of spices are featured, too. Like red pepper flakes from Korea. Or chipotle peppers from the new world. Maybe try scotch bonnet peppers, with a fruity heat that has a slow burn. Proof that wherever we go, spice lovers are sure to follow. Join us! https://dinnersisters.com/2020/03/09/episode-105-make-it-spicy/ | |||
| Pro Tip: A Quarantine Ready Pantry | 07 Mar 2020 | 00:04:27 | |
Whether you're hunkering down from the flu, or looking to be more prepared for COVID19, we have some helpful tips and recipes for you. Betsy Referenced the CDC preparedness guidelines: https://www.cdc.gov/cpr/prepareyourhealth/PersonalHealth.htm | |||
| Episode 104: Marinades | 01 Mar 2020 | 00:26:45 | |
Honey, Lime, and Chipotle for the Perfect Pork Tenderloin, Marinated Tofu with Peanuts and Charred Bean Sprouts, and Shrimp Marinade Marinades can take a dinner from ho-hum to really tasty with very little active effort. Yet we haven’t been able to make them a regular part of our dinner routine. We’re changing all that with this episode with three marinades that inspired us to put in the effort. The pork marinade has a bit of smokey heat from chipotles, welcome in the dead of winter when grilling isn’t an option. Shrimp marinated so quickly we felt silly for not doing it more often. Just a half hour and they were done! We rounded out the episode with a tofu marinade that was so simple you don’t even have to cook it. That’s our kind of dinner plan. Here’s to making dinner a little tastier. | |||
| Episode 103: Make Ahead Pantry | 24 Feb 2020 | 00:25:07 | |
Sometimes you have to take care of your future self. You know, the one who’s had a long day and needs dinner on the table as soon as possible? Make one of these recipes and a curry, quick meat sauce, or ramen noodles are on the table before you know it. It may take some time now, but well worth it come that busy Tuesday.

| Pro Tip: Okonomiyaki (Japanese Veggie Pancake) | 21 Feb 2020 | 00:02:07 | |
Some recipes we make over and over again. Smitten Kitchen's Japanese Vegetable Pancake is one of them. This time of year, when veggies are limited to carrots and cabbage, its fantastic to have an easy and tasty way to eat them. Make up a batch this weekend for a savory breakfast (an egg is amazing here) or for a light dinner before your latest streaming binge. | |||
| Episode 102: Pancake Supper | 17 Feb 2020 | 00:25:45 | |
Pancakes are loved the world over; just look at this episode for proof! We love them, too and couldn’t wait to dig into the recipes this week. Two savory options are on the docket: one with bacon and cheese, the other with spices and plenty of vegetables. Quinoa adds a little extra oomph to our sweeter option, ideal for breakfast for dinner or just a hearty breakfast. Savory or sweet, join us this week for some hot-off-the-griddle treats. https://dinnersisters.com/2020/02/17/episode-102-pancakes-for-supper/ | |||
| Episode 221: Soup Deep Dive | 20 Feb 2022 | 00:21:03 | |
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. | |||
| Episode 101: Quick Weeknight Vegetarian | 10 Feb 2020 | 00:26:16 | |

| Pro Tip: Food and Snacks for the Big Game | 31 Jan 2020 | 00:06:10 | |
This week we talked about a clever DIY Brat (bratwurst) bar, let listeners in on a behind the scenes secret and took a look back at all of the game night episodes we've done over the past few years. You might find some great recipes or inspiration from: Episode 19: Simply Recipes Sausage Rolls, Smitten Kitchen Nachos and a family favorite Pizza Bread https://dinnersisters.com/2019/07/17/episode-19-game-night/ Episode 54: The Kitchn's Muffin Tin Pizza Bombs or Joy Manning's Stromboli from the Washington Post. https://dinnersisters.com/2019/07/17/episode-54-pizza-night/ Episode 47: The Big Game: Our football favorites from last year including Giada's crunchy parm chicken tenders, some loaded buffalo chicken sammies and loaded twice baked potatoes. https://dinnersisters.com/2019/07/17/episode-47-football-party/ If you have an Air Fryer, check out Episode 81 where we made wings, all the frozen goodies and even tried the air fryer oreos. https://dinnersisters.com/2019/09/23/episode-81-should-you-buy-an-air-fryer/ | |||
| Episode 99: Slow Roasted | 27 Jan 2020 | 00:27:06 | |
Slow Roasted Salmon with Fennel, Citrus and Chilis by Bon Appetit, Slow Roasted Chicken with Oregano and Buttered Tomatoes from Alison Roman in NYT Cooking, and Slow Roasted Sweet Potatoes on Wisconsin Public Radio and Smitten Kitchen Light a fire in the fireplace, some candles, or at least a cozy movie and make a slow roasted dinner this week. We have three dinners that take awhile in the oven but have that low and slow taste that only comes with time. Choose a slow roasted chicken and be rewarded with tender meat and jammy tomatoes that you want to eat with everything. Or slow roast with weeknight friendly salmon, a little spicy, a little savory, and a whole lot of ease. Sweet potatoes get the slow roast treatment, too, and come out looking like stars. We hope any of these meals make you a little warmer this week. | |||
| Pro Tip: Midwest Made author Shauna Sever: Perfect Pie Tips | 24 Jan 2020 | 00:05:09 | |
We reviewed Midwest Made by Shauna Sever in Episode 99 and she was kind enough to share some of her very best tips for making pie with us!

| Episode 98: Midwest Made by Shauna Sever | 20 Jan 2020 | 00:26:40 | |
Reviewing Midwest Made by Shauna Sever was a trip down memory lane. Yet at the same time we were excited to discover new favorites along the way. We baked all the way through this book from savory treats like soft pretzels to decadent Buckeye bars to the perfect after school cookies. Even if you’re not from the Midwest you’re sure to find a treat or two to bake and enjoy. We will be cooking from this book for years to come for family and friends and we think you just might, too. https://dinnersisters.com/ | |||
| Pro Tip: Survey Says... Results of our 2020 Listener Survey | 17 Jan 2020 | 00:08:35 | |

| Episode 97: Winter Stew | 13 Jan 2020 | 00:27:36 | |
During the darkest and coldest nights (and days) of the year, warm soups and stews can really get you through. This week we have three chunky stews that will warm your bones and power you through all your shoveling, skiing, or Netflixing. A vegan dumpling option will stick to your ribs. The Korean chicken stew had a low, sweet spice and adapted beautifully to the Instant Pot. The fish stew stole the show with warm, savory flavors that we couldn’t believe only took a half hour to make. January is here; get some stew in that pot and some comfort on the table. Find links to all of the recipes in our show notes. https://dinnersisters.com/ | |||
| Pro tip: Rule of Three Meal Planning | 10 Jan 2020 | 00:09:35 | |
In this week's pro tip, Betsy shares her thoughts on meal planning...how she's failed at traditional meal planning for almost 15 years before cooking for the podcast. Cooking three times a week on a flexible schedule and "letting the rest go" has given her new life in the kitchen. Great food, less stress and a loose structure that allows for successful home cooking and days where you just eat sandwiches and a handful of carrots without guilt. If your New Years Resolution is to meal plan, check it out! It might be just what you need. | |||
| Episode 220: Momables with Laura Fuentes | 17 Feb 2022 | 00:33:12 | |
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. | |||
| Episode 96: Dinner Resolutions | 06 Jan 2020 | 00:28:27 | |
The New Year is here and it seems like everyone’s turning over a new leaf. While we’re not the best about making or keeping resolutions ourselves, we have some recipes that might help you with yours. Maybe you’re trying to eat less meat, doing a Whole 30 challenge, or just attempting dinner at home every once and awhile. We’ve got you covered. Recipes this episode: Cheese Free Sweet Potato Quesadillas from Serious Eats Asian Ground Beef, Mushroom and Broccoli Slaw Cups from Nom Nom Paleo Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Soup from Damn Delicious All recipes are linked on our site: www.dinnersisters.com | |||
| Episode 95: A Look Back on 2019 | 29 Dec 2019 | 00:20:23 | |
One more year has come and gone and we’re thinking back to all the fun we had on the Dinner Sisters. Some ups, some downs, but through it all we think we lived up to our motto of, “Cook a little better, learn a little bit about food, and most importantly, figure out what the heck to have for dinner.” In this episode get all our favorites from the past year- including weeknight recipes, project cooking, and cookbooks. We couldn’t have done it without our listeners- that means you! Many thanks for joining us at the table every week to chat about our dinners, cooking, and everything else that goes along with it. Absolutely cannot wait for another year. | |||
| Episode 94: Katie Parla Food of the Italian South | 23 Dec 2019 | 00:35:39 | |
Take a trip with us to Rome, Italy for Betsy’s interview with Katie Parla. Betsy was lucky enough to sit down with Katie (and her mom in the background) to learn a little bit about the food of Rome, life in Italy, and the role of the Mafia in food. (!) She was so gracious in this interview. Betsy had such a lovely time. We think you will, too. | |||
| Episode 93: Winter Dinner for the Longest Night - Butternut Squash Baked Pasta, Pumpkin Chicken and Dumplings and Porschetta Pulled Pork | 15 Dec 2019 | 00:26:16 | |
The longest night of the year is here and we’re all about the foods to get us through the dark night. All we want to do is cozy up to some baked pasta, or roast pork in herbs and citrus. Soup is another winter dinner option, just the thing to take the chill out of your bones. No matter which one you choose, we can guarantee you’re well on your way to a warmer night. Find all of the recipes for this week's episode on our website: www.dinnersisters.com | |||
| Episode 92: Savory Pies | 09 Dec 2019 | 00:26:12 | |
Warm up with us this week with a trio of savory pies for dinner. No time like the winter to indulge in a little pastry, that’s for sure. A classic Quiche Lorraine makes an elegant dinner or make the Cornish Pasties and freeze a few for a hearty dinner when things are busy. The White Cheddar and Apple Galette was a treat of cheddar, apple, and onion. All three warmed us from the inside out, a delightful winter dinner. | |||
| Episode 91: 3 New Meatless Monday Ideas | 02 Dec 2019 | 00:30:34 | |
Thanksgiving has come and gone and we’re getting weeknight dinners back on track. Meatless Mondays is one way to do it- focus on vegetables to kick the week off right. This week we have a quick-cooking Tuscan Tortellini Skillet that was a hit with Betsy’s family, including our mom. Tacos might be more your thing, and if you are feeling adventurous, try them with jackfruit. Lastly, you know we love a good thai curry. Killing Thymes’ easy curry with tofu gave us all the comfort food flavors for a cold December weeknight. Join us for Meatless Monday and solve at least one day’s dinner this week. | |||
| Pro Tip: Cook it Real Good - Oatmeal | 30 Nov 2019 | 00:04:55 | |
Cassie from Cook it Real Good, an Australian food blogger and podcaster, shared with us her favorite method for cooking oatmeal. Her instructions for soaking the oats overnight and then adding a cup of milk to warm in the morning is genius! If you're preparing oatmeal in the summer, Cassie has a great trick for that as well. Check out Cassie's blog and podcast for more great cooking tips and tricks! https://www.cookitrealgood.com/about-bfh/ | |||
| Episode 90_ Foxfire Dinner Party | 25 Nov 2019 | 00:39:28 | |
Settle in with us this week around the woodstove and enjoy Betsy’s interview with Tyrie (TJ) Smith of Foxfire. A Southern heritage preservation organization, “Foxfire’s mission is to preserve the diverse traditions of Southern Appalachia and advance the understanding and appreciation of cultural heritage through public programs, publications, and learner-centered education.” In addition to a museum in the hills of northern Georgia, Foxfire also records oral histories, weaves the stories into a podcast, holds workshops and events, and recently reworked their Book of Appalachian Cookery. Over the crackling of fried chicken and braised cabbage, Betsy and TJ talk about the mission of Foxfire, preserving history, and much more. In this week of Thanksgiving, we welcome you to celebrate the tradition of having family around the table for dinner, in Appalachia or wherever your loved ones may gather. | |||

Simple Fall Slaw, Slow Cooked Winter Squash with Sage and Thyme, and Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Maple and Walnuts Everyone knows the best part of Thanksgiving are the sides.

Thanksgiving sides that are fresh, festive, and worthy of a place at your table. | |||
| Episode 219: Tinned Fish: Anchovies, Tuna, and Salmon | 07 Feb 2022 | 00:29:24 | |
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. | |||
| Pro Tip: Priya Krishna, Author of Indian-ish | 15 Nov 2019 | 00:03:14 | |
Priya Krishna, author of Indian-ish shared with us a bit about why she wrote the book and gave us a great tip for using Chhonk in your weeknight cooking. We were thrilled to have her send in this tip and loved her cookbook. You can listen to our full review in Episode 88. https://dinnersisters.com/2019/11/11/cookbook-indian-ish/ | |||
| Episode 88: Indian-ish by Priya Krishna Cookbook Review | 11 Nov 2019 | 00:25:56 | |
Cooking from Priya Krishna’s Indian-ish was just a treat. Learning about her family’s immigrant story through food was funny, fascinating, and ultimately delicious. We ended up in awe of her power-project manager mom, the author of the recipes and the heart of the book. We chuckled and then were very interested in the methods of her yogurt-obsessed father. But most of all, we cooked and cooked and cooked from her recipes, brought in by her writing and staying for the flavor. All of us agreed, this cookbook is perfect for those just trying to make Indian food for the first time or those who are looking to make Indian flavors part of their regular dinner rotation. No matter why you pick Indian-ish up, we think you’ll love it. | |||
| Pro Tip: Pasta Friday Mini Cookbook Review | 08 Nov 2019 | 00:06:26 | |
This week we’re doing a special book review pro tip, talking about the fantastic Pasta Friday book by Allison Arevalo. Allison has a great story she told in the book about how her Pasta Friday tradition started: she had just sold her shares in a business - a successful restaurant in Oakland called Homeroom, her son needed a risky surgery and her sister was battling stage 4 cancer. The only time she felt better and stopped worrying was when she was cooking for friends, so she decided to host pasta Friday at her house every week. She started an email list and was off. After a year of cooking, she decided to share her pasta friday recipes with all of us in this book. It’s an ode to cooking as community building and a celebration of living life to its fullest with family and friends. And pasta, lots and lots of pasta. | |||
| Episode 87: Italian Pasta Night | 04 Nov 2019 | 00:26:24 | |
For our second pasta night (Only two so far? I’m shocked.), we’re steering closer to Italy than before. We have recipes for homemade noodles, called pici, that are as satisfying to make as they are to eat. Or make a super quick pasta with chickpeas based off of Rome’s most iconic dishes, pasta e cici. Rounding it out, we have Lidia Basitanich’s recipe for Ziti with Sausage, Onions, and Fennel. Hers is a one skillet meal that tastes like it simmered all day, without the actual hours at the stove. Break out of your marinara sauce routine with any of these Italian pasta dinners. Find our complete shownotes and links to all of the recipes at: https://dinnersisters.com/2019/11/04/italian-pasta-night/ | |||
| Pro Tip: Listener Instant Pot Tips and Tricks | 01 Nov 2019 | 00:05:36 | |
Upgrade your Instant Pot experience with some tips and tricks from our listeners. Learn how to get your pot to seal a little more quickly and easily. Or upgrade your lid for better storage. We also learned about a place to put that bulky lid and a way to cook two meals at once. Upgrade for sure! | |||
| Episode 86: Vegetarian Instant Pot | 28 Oct 2019 | 00:30:11 | |
One of our favorite things about the Instant Pot is the ability to reduce long cooking time to just a few minutes. Take a pork shoulder, for instance. Three to four hours of slow braising is down to less than an hour. Not to mention not having to soak beans. Outside beans, however, we hadn’t explored many vegetarian Instant Pot recipes. Time to change that! We found a risotto that will save us from standing over the stove, giving us plenty of time to clean up the house or scroll Instagram. Or how about a lentil Bolognese that’s full of flavor and fiber? Wrapping it all up, we made a quinoa and black bean chili that might replace it’s meatier cousin. Turns out vegetarian meals and the Instant Pot are more compatible that we had hoped. | |||
| Pro Tip Good and Cheap by Leanne Brown | 26 Oct 2019 | 00:03:30 | |
We reviewed Leanne Brown's, Good and Cheap, for this week's Pro Tip. If you are looking to cut their grocery bill you couldn't ask for a better cookbook. We loved that the recipes aren't just frugal; they're delicious. Leanne Brown has recipes that cover the basics of breakfast, lunch, and dinner with style and keep your food budget under four dollars a day. Pretty amazing. You can get the book as a free pdf download on her site: https://www.leannebrown.com | |||
| Episode 85: Budget Dinner Solutions | 21 Oct 2019 | 00:29:58 | |
Budget -friendly dinner, for whatever reason, can be a bummer. Luckily we found three recipes that won’t break the bank and deliver a luxurious amount of flavor. Get your comfort food fix with Creamy Paprika Pork from Taste of Home. Or avoid dinner out and make Homemade Chicken Yakisoba from Budget Bytes. Last, Taco Tuesday is still on with a budget dinner version of Roasted Cauliflower and Lentil Tacos with Creamy Chipotle Sauce by Cookie and Kate. Now if we could just find a way to make saving money on our cable bill this easy. | |||
| Pro Tip: All about Beets! Listener Tips and Tricks | 19 Oct 2019 | 00:07:51 | |
When we asked our listeners last year for advice on roasting beets, we were overwhelmed with responses! We gathered up all of the tips, tricks, comments and recipes for this special Pro Tip episode all about beets. | |||
| Episode 84: Fall Root Vegetables | 13 Oct 2019 | 00:28:27 | |
The farmer’s market is changing. Just a few last tomatoes, no more basil, but lots and lots of sweet potatoes, rutabagas, and new potatoes. Maybe not as sexy as a fresh ripe heirloom tomato, but with enough love just as tasty. We have three root vegetable recipes to get you started with the fall. A Creamy, Vegan Root Vegetable Soup surprised us with its flavor. Just as easy was Cup of Jo’s Roasted Vegetable Tart with Caramelized Onions and Feta. Which, we have to admit, even felt a little fancy with the puff pastry. Last we made a Sheet Pan Chicken and Roasted Harvest Vegetables with a secret ingredient (ok, it was bacon) that took everything over the top. Sure, it’s no longer BLT season. But these root vegetable recipes might just get us through the long winter ahead. | |||
| Episode 218: Prep, Cook, Freeze with Caroline Fausel | 24 Jan 2022 | 00:27:14 | |

| Episode 83: Freezer Meals | 06 Oct 2019 | 00:27:12 | |
A meal in the freezer, ready to go after a long day, is a beautiful thing. We tried out three freezer meals that can save your sanity. Pull out a freezer bag full of beef stir fry, or a couple mini-meatloafs, or a savory sweet potato stew dinner is on its way. We found recipes that are not just quick, but also delicious. Freezer meals for the win! | |||
