Episode 10: How to Throw A Celebration Dinner Party

Episode 10: A Celebration Dinner Party The Dinner Sisters celebrate their tenth episode with a Dinner Party episode. We’ll cook up a celebratory roast chicken and make some party quesadillas. Don’t forget dessert! We’re rounding out our dinner party with a flavorful, simple, and one-bowl cake that pairs excellently with a nice after dinner cup of coffee, the last glass of wine, or with your cup of tea in the morning. No judgement.   Farmhouse Party Quesadillas- My Name is Yeh Quesadillas are a pretty standard quick weeknight meal. This recipe turns it into a dinner-party worthy meal with handmade tortillas and a bounty of toppings like pickled onions, avocado, radishes and more. Tips: Roll these out pretty thin. They will puff up on the griddle. Resting the dough for a little bit will help you roll them out easier. Toppings make this fun. Thinly sliced radishes, pickled onions and avocado take this over the top and make them a little more adult. Put the toppings out and a “make your own” -style will keep grown ups and our pint sized friends happy. Roast Chicken with Arugula and Bread Salad- The Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten) Ina Garten hits it out of the park, again, with her lemony, herby chicken roasted over thick slices of country bread. Roast at a high heat - the chicken turns a beautiful brown and the bread turns into savory, crunchy croutons for your arugula salad. Serve on a big platter and impress whoever you have over for dinner.  Tips: Start the chicken ahead of time- this will make for a more flavorful bird. Preparing, cooking, and resting will take about 2 hours. Plan this out and you’ll get a juicy and flavorful bird.   Towpath’s Olive Oil Cake- The Wednesday Chef End your dinner party on a sweet note with this fragrant, delicious cake. Olive oil and citrus make this cake one to bake again and again. Tips: The cake will keep for a day or so- you can make this ahead very successfully. Orange zest makes this cake. Pick a heavy feeling fruit for a better chance of a juicy orange.   From the Smorgasbord: Recipes We Made again: Japanese Vegetarian Pancakes: Episode 1 Pasta a Limone: Episode 2 Chicken Paillards: Episode 3 Broccoli Cheddar Soup: Episode 7 BBQ Meatloaves: Episode 3 Roasted Green Beans with Garlic: Episode 3 Seeded Banana Bread: Episode 3   Recipes We’d Like to Make Again: Giant Lima Beans with Stewed Tomatoes and Oregano Peste Teriyaki Salmon Bowl   Shopping List Here Follow us on Instagram @dinnersisterspodcast or on Pinterest at Dinner Sisters Podcast.
