    two sisters sharing fresh and creative recipes for every cook

    This is the dip you’ll crave all summer. Smoky c This is the dip you’ll crave all summer. Smoky chipotle, sweet corn, no oven.

We’re obsessed with this Creamy Chipotle Corn Dip — it’s fast, party-friendly, and packs way more flavor than you’d expect for how easy it is. 

Top 3 tips for next-level dip:

🌽 Use fresh sweet corn if it’s in season — it makes a huge difference

🔥 Sear it in a hot pan until it’s a little charred — that toasty flavor is everything

💛 Blend corn right into the base - using a blender or food processor makes it ultra creamy in seconds, and mixing in some of the seared corn deepens the flavor 

Want the full recipe? It’s waiting for you (check our profile 👆)

Save this to share at your next patio party or make it for yourself. Grab some chips and a drink (Orange Margarita perhaps?). You’ll come back to this one all summer long.
    Say hello to your new sandwich obsession✨ This Say hello to your new sandwich obsession✨

    We obviously didn’t invent this combo, but we’ We obviously didn’t invent this combo, but we’re more than happy to enjoy it when the opportunity presents itself! The bitter coffee pairs so well with the caramelly sweetness of the condensed milk. It’s giving Vietnamese and Thai coffee vibes to your standard morning cup of caffeine!

And now as recipe creators, we sometimes don’t use up a whole can of sweetened condensed milk if we need some for a recipe. And since nothing is better than a caffeine or sugar rush all at once, we love using the leftovers like this. 

It’s the perfect sweet treat! So grab your mug and make yourself a cup.
    Need a summer party food idea that isn’t burgers Need a summer party food idea that isn’t burgers or hot dogs?

This Build-Your-Own-Pita Party is the answer! It’s totally customizable and will wow everyone at your upcoming Memorial Day, graduation, or it’s-finally-summer-so-we’re-throwing-a-party party. 

If you want the recipe breakdown for the sauces and everything else we made, sign up for our next newsletter. You’ll get exclusive access to recipes for our hummus, tzatziki, and tahini sauce (plus more details about how we set this up for a party). Go here or check our page to sign up: https://cookingwithconks.com/subscribe-to-our-newsletter/ 

What we used:

•    Protein: our Moroccan Inspired Spiced Chicken (recipe on the blog) and grilled it instead of pan roasting it. 

•    Sauces: hummus, tzatziki, and a lemony tahini sauce. (Recipes in our upcoming newsletter!)

•    Freshies: fresh fruits and veggies that complement the spiced chicken and flavorful sauces.

•    Extras: pita, feta, couscous. 

Build your pita: add protein, sauces, fresh stuff, and any extras to a warm pita (stuff it in the pocket or eat it like a taco). We each went for “the works” and added pretty much everything. It was delicious!

    Who’s up for a non-boring veggie side dish? 🙋 Who’s up for a non-boring veggie side dish? 🙋‍♀️ 🙋‍♀️

This Skillet Potatoes and Fennel recipe is anything but boring. The potatoes are creamy and rich, the fennel is crunchy and has a mild anise flavor, and the red onion is sweet and soft. The veggies are fantastic on their own, but they get dressed up with a little lemony and herby chermoula sauce at the end for extra pizzazz. 

The veggies:

•    Creamer potatoes
•    Fennel
•    Red Onion
•    Olive oil

The sauce:

•    Lemon (zest, juice)
•    Herbs (cilantro, parsley)
•    Spices (garlic, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, s&p)
•    Olive oil

Why you’ll love it:

•    Parboiling the potatoes and fennel cuts down on the overall cooking time and helps them pan roast faster.
•    It’s hearty, satisfying, and easy to make. Plus it’s plant-based and gluten-free, but even the biggest meat eaters won’t notice! 

Full recipe here: https://cookingwithconks.com/skillet-potatoes-and-fennel-recipe/
    Make this Peanut Butter and Jelly Cake for Mother’s Day! It’s nostalgic and super satisfying and full of PB & J flavor that all big kids (including moms) will love. And if you’re not celebrating Mother’s Day, just make this for yourself! You don’t need a reason to eat cake. Seriously.

The cake is made with peanut butter and bananas, so it’s super MOIST (sorry not sorry). It’s also filled with a layer of fruit jam and topped with a sweet and savory peanut butter crumble. 

It also moonlights as a coffee cake, so enjoy it with your morning cup of java, as an afternoon snack, or as dessert at the end of your day!

    Make amazing chicken tortilla soup at home! We ma Make amazing chicken tortilla soup at home!

We make a lot of soups. It’s just one of those things that has become kind of a signature move in the kitchen for us, even when the weather warms up a bit.

Tortilla Soup is an ultra classic comforting soup with rich history and tradition, and there are so many ways to make it. But we think our version takes an easy and accessible approach that anyone can make at home in under an hour. It’s savory, slightly smoky, a little spicy, and full of deep, delicious flavor. It’s packed with shredded chicken and topped with crispy baked tortilla strips and whatever else you want!

For the soup, you’ll need:

•    Chicken
•    Veg (onions, poblanos, jalapeños)
•    Chipotle peppers in adobo
•    Salt, cumin, chili powder, adobo seasoning
•    Fire roasted tomatoes and tomato paste
•    Chicken broth

For information on how to make the soup and the crispy baked tortilla strips, check out the full recipe here >> https://cookingwithconks.com/easy-chicken-tortilla-soup/

    Enchiladas + Lasagna = Enchilada Casserole We lov Enchiladas + Lasagna = Enchilada Casserole

We love enchiladas and we love lasagna and casseroles, so we thought, why not combine them? 

Unlike actual enchiladas that have filling rolled up inside tortillas, this Tex-Mex Chicken Enchilada Casserole is built almost like a lasagna. It’s got layers of tortillas, seasoned chicken, melty cheese, and creamy salsa verde. We’ve made this for a family gathering before (we doubled the recipe) and it was a hit.

You can easily divide the ingredients in half to make this in an 8x8 casserole dish instead too!
