two sisters sharing fresh and creative recipes for every cook

Say hello to your new sandwich obsession✨ This Say hello to your new sandwich obsession✨

This Amazing Sausage and Peppers Sandwich is what happens when juicy Italian sausage, sweet peppers and onions, and an herby butter all show up to the party together. It’s super simple, incredibly tasty, and perfect for when you want big flavor with less effort.

We’re talking weeknight dinner hero, backyard party star, summer legend. Just trust us on this one.

Get hungry and save this for when you need a crowd-pleaser (or just want to impress yourself).

Recipe here: https://cookingwithconks.com/amazing-sausage-and-peppers-sandwich/

Starting summer off right 🍓☀️ Make the ult Starting summer off right 🍓☀️

Make the ultimate berries and cream dessert with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, fresh mint, a honey lemon syrup, and a dreamy dollop of whipped honey mascarpone cream. 

Fresh, decadent, and bursting with flavor, it’s the perfect treat for Memorial Day weekend or any sunny day!

You’ll need:

•    Fresh berries
•    Fresh mint
•    Honey
•    Lemon
•    Heavy whipping cream
•    Mascarpone

Full recipe details here: https://cookingwithconks.com/berries-and-cream-with-mint-and-honey-lemon-syrup/
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/
Happy May the Fourth and soon-to-be Cinco de Mayo! Happy May the Fourth and soon-to-be Cinco de Mayo! Celebrate the beginning of May by making this Classic Pico de Gallo. It’s fresh, juicy, bright, and great as a dip for chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes. 

Yes, you can buy pico de gallo at the store, but some things are just better homemade, and this is one of them!

You’ll need:

•    Tomatoes
•    Onions
•    Cilantro
•    Jalapeño
•    Lime
•    Salt

The recipe is up on our blog, so be sure to check there for the full details!

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!

https://cookingwithconks.com/chicken-enchilada-casserole/
Could have bought a house by now if it weren’t f Could have bought a house by now if it weren’t for all the avocado toast…

The stereotypes are true: we love avocado toast and eat it often. And despite what some people may think, it’s not the reason some Millennials can’t buy a house. 

You can add tomatoes, feta or queso fresco, a squeeze of lime, or whatever else you want. 

We usually prefer to keep it super simple. Just toast up some bread (we like sourdough) and add some sliced avocado and seasoning on top (we prefer Lawry’s). That’s all you need!
