A fresh take on dinner: every week real-life sisters Kate and Betsy search out, cook, laugh and compare notes on three new recipes from top food bloggers and websites like Food52 and Epicurious and chat about life in the kitchen. Kate lives in Providence, Rhode Island and cooks for a family of 2 (no kids); Betsy lives in Atlanta and cooks for a family of 5 (three kids in elementary school).

Love listening to these smart, fun ladies!

Episode 61: Rotisserie Chicken

Hawaiian Rice

Maybe you’re like the Dinner Sisters and are loving summer, but really could use a break from a salad? You’re in luck. Three recipes that use plenty of summer ingredients and techniques but still feel like a comforting meal. Simple preparations like the Chili Steak with Hawaiian rice, an easily-riffed on Cold Sesame Noodles, and a Chicken Breast with Corn Barley Salad round out the seasonal recipes for the week.  Chili Steak with Hawaiian Rice: Good Housekeeping One of the simplest recipes we’ve featured so far and one of our favorites. Skirt steak is rubbed with chili powder and lime zest and then quickly grilled. Accompanying the steak- white rice tossed with pineapple and cilantro. S Tips:   Chili Powder is a staple in our pantries and we use it often. But if it’s not in yours, make sure its fresh. Open the jar and take a whiff. If you can’t smell much, replace it. A recipe like this, with only a few seasonings, needs fresh spices.   Kate made this with flank steak to good results.We imagine you could adapt this to other cuts of beef, just make sure to adjust the cooking times.   If fresh pineapple isn’t available, canned works a treat.    Cold Sesame Noodles: Epicurious Cold sesame noodles are a summer staple for good reason. The sauce recipe is adaptable to taste, the salad keeps for days, you can add in any bits and bobs you like. Tips:   Adjust the ginger, add sriracha, dial up or back the vinegar or sugar as you see fit. We found this to be a good base recipe. Just make sure to take notes so you can replicate your perfect proportions.   We like to add in any of the following: shredded cabbage, zucchini, or carrots, cubed tofu, and shredded chicken.   If you simmer the sauce too long and it gets gloppy, never fear! You can easily thin it out with a bit of water and a vigorous whisk.   The water trick above works very well to reinvigorate the salad from the fridge. A little warm water (think a teaspoon or two from the hot tap) can loosen up the noodles and bloom the sauce again.    Grilled Chicken with Mom’s Barley Corn Salad: Iowa Girl Eats Grain salads don’t often feature barley. After tasting this salad, we’re not sure why. It’s chewy, satisfying and is a delicious foil to the summery tomato sauce Tips:   This recipe uses just one pint of cherry tomatoes, which is a dream for shopping.   We thought the grain salad was good but may have gone with either bacon or avocado, not both.   If you have one more summer barbeque to attend, this would be a crowd pleasing option. Or as a lunch prep item as the barley salad (perhaps without the avocado) will keep for a couple days.   From the Smorgasbord: We’ve been doing some summer baking. Here’s what we’ve got on our minds.  Original Plum Torte: NYT Cooking  This is a butter cake with plums sunk in the batter and baked until you have the most amazing jammy fruit. Dinner party dream and the bonus of being an ideal breakfast cake.   Burmese Semolina Cake: Bon Appetit  If you have any semolina in the house, perhaps from a pasta project or other baking, this is a unique use that will satisfy your sweet tooth. It is a thick dough but don’t worry- it bakes up to a creamy delight.    Peach Cobbler with Hot Sugar Crust: Food 52  Cobblers are all alike, right? Not this one. Leave the sugar out of the cobbler dough, sprinkle it on top, then pour hot water over it to bake. The result is a shattery sugar crust covering a pillowy biscuit dough. Not to mention all those peaches.Support the show

Episode 23: Summer Fun - Steak with Hawaiian Rice, Chicken Breast with barley-corn salad and Cold sesame noodles

Episode 03: Sheet pan love In this episode we jump in on the sheet pan dinner trend with a winning recipe for barbecue meatloaves. We also cook up some french bread pizzas and make a kale, apple and cheddar salad. Plus, we all make sure to watch the video about how to make chicken paillards and learn a technique that we’ll use for a long time to come. This week we cooked... French Bread Pizzas : The Pioneer Woman While our mom was more likely to make her own french bread than buy french bread pizzas from the freezer section, this recipe still holds childhood appeal. (No joke, our mom still turns out at least a couple loaves a week. Maybe more. She's a machine.) The toppings make this pizza, so go wild! Tips:   Think of this recipe as a starting point...don't need 12 pizzas? Halve or even divide it by thirds (add this to notes re: amounts). Don't like a topping? Get rid of it and replace with something you like. Really, we saw this recipe as a reminder that weeknight meals can and should be fun.   We thought this is a good recipe to have in your back pocket for large groups or when you are in a limited kitchen (ie: only have a toaster oven).    Sheet Pan BBQ Meatloaf Dinner: Budget Bytes Sheet pan dinners are super convenient, which is why they are so popular. Everything on the pan? Good. Bake and eat!  BBQ sauce and meatloaf are a delicious combo. Tips:   Use the handy scale up/down arrows on her recipe to make this for two or eight people.   Half sheet pans are super useful! Get yourself one ASAP (See link below)    Kale, Apple and Cheddar Salad: NYT Cooking  &amp; Chicken Paillards: Martha Stewart The internet has many a kale salad. This is one of our favorites. The apple and cheddar are nice foils to the bitterness of the kale greens.The technique for chicken paillards is a good one to have in your back pocket. Pound out a chicken breast for even cooking. Tips:   Deviate from the recipe a bit and massage in the oil first- then add the rest of the dressing. This helps soften the kale.   Good news- this salad holds up over the course of a couple days. Perfect for lunch the next day.     From the Smorgäsbȯrd:  Seeded Whole Wheat Banana Bread We also thought you might like...

Pro Tip: Knives

Sometimes all you need is a warm bowl of soup. Or maybe you’re looking for a light but filling dinner salad.  The Chicken and Corn Chowder was creamy tasting without weighing us down, which was a welcome change from other cream soups. We can’t lie, the Pressure Cooker Pho was a project. But the taste! Totally worth it. Our salad course was a seasonal mix of maple roasted carrots, dried cranberries and chevre, tossed with arugula and crunchy almonds.Support the show
