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.

Chicken Pot Pie

Cook bacon in a deep pan on medium-high heat until crispy. Turn heat down and add butter to pan with bacon grease. Once butter is melted add in onion, carrots, and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute until onions are translucent.

Sprinkle in flour and stir until vegetables are coated. Slowly pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, mixing continuously. Bring this to a light simmer - the sauce will begin to thicken.

Once the sauce has thickened, turn heat down. Add in chicken, bacon, peas, and seasoning. Stir until combined. Add in fresh parsley. Taste the pot pie filling and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Let the pot pie filling sit on the stove on very low heat to keep warm (you can add a little chicken broth if the sauce gets too thick).

Lay the puff pastry flat and measure the size of the ramekins by lightly pressing the tops into the puff pastry. Cut around the ramekin impressions to create circles the size of the ramekins - this will go on top. Scoop chicken pot pie mixture into ramekins and top with puff pastry cut outs. Brush the puff pastry lightly with egg wash and sprinkle sea salt on top. Using a knife, poke small holes into the top of the puff pastry to allow for ventilation.

Place ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until puff pastry is golden brown. Enjoy!
