Kitchen Essentials

To briefly sum it up, we're sisters and self proclaimed home cooks. Whatever level cook you are, you've come to the right place! We create recipes that anyone and everyone can make because yes, you can do the cooking. 

Delaney, 24, attended St. Lawrence University where she played field hockey and majored in Government and African Studies and minored in Education Studies and Gender Studies. She graduated early at the end of 2020 and later moved in with Shelby. She has experience working as a field hockey and track coach and in sales for a large financial lending company. 

Shelby, 28, graduated from SUNY Oswego in 2017 with a degree in Health Promotion and Wellness Management and went on to get her Associates degree in nursing. She has experience working in both long-term care and an ICU step-down unit turned COVID unit during the pandemic. 

The sisters grew up in Upstate New York with their parents and two other sisters, Gabby (26) and Mackenzie (22). Shelby and Delaney both credit their family and Food Network for inspiring their passion for cooking. When they were little they used to dream of owning a restaurant together and even created a "menu" that was made up of their Grandma Betty's mac and cheese, chocolate chip cookies, and lemonade. 

As they grew up, their dreams of owning a restaurant were put on the back burner as they chose to pursue different career paths. Little did they know, they'd end up running a successful food-based social media platform together. It all started in January of 2021 when Delaney started posting recipes on TikTok as a way to pass the time and stay connected with friends. Low and behold, her tomato soup video went viral and the page started to gain followers. Shortly after that, she moved in with Shelby and they would film and post recipes in their off time. Fast forward two years and now the two sisters work as full-time content creators and recipe developers for their page, yessidothecookingg.


Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for helping make our dream become a reality.

Champagne Citrus Beurre Blanc with Mahi Mahi 

Add olive oil to a pan on low-medium heat. Once hot, add in the shallots. Sauté until translucent. 

Add in champagne and citrus juices. Continue to cook until almost all of the liquid has cooked off. 

Add in a couple cubes of the cold butter. Keep the butter moving until it melts completely. Then add more cubes. Continue this process until all the butter is added. The butter will emulsify and create a creamy sauce.

Add broth to a pot and bring to a simmer. Keep hot.

Add butter to a pan on low-medium heat. Once melted, add in shallot and cook until translucent.

Stir in the arborio and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add in white wine and cook until the liquid is absorbed. 

Add 1/2 c of hot broth to the arborio at a time. With each  1/2 c stir constantly until the liquid is absorbed. This should take about 30-40 minutes.

When 3/4 of broth is incorporated, add in squash and corn. 

Turn the heat off once all of the broth is added and absorbed. Stir in parmesan and chives. 

Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. 

Pat mahi mahi filets dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside. 

Heat a large pan on medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil. 

Place mahi mahi filets in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes. To help get a golden brown color, do not move the filets around during this time. Flip (see next step) and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. 

When you flip the fish, add butter and garlic. Baste the fish while it continues to cook.
