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.

Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake

In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

Add sugar and orange zest to a small bowl and combine with your fingers.

In a stand mixer, beat sugar and eggs until light and fluffy - about 5 minutes.

Add in ricotta, olive oil, whole milk, vanilla extract, and orange juice. Continue to mix for another 2-3 minutes.

Slowly add in flour mixture but be sure not to over mix.

Pour mixture into a greased springform pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted in the middle and comes out clean.

Let rest for 5 minutes then remove the sides of the pan and let cool completely.

Once cooled, gently flip over on a cutting board and frost with brown butter frosting.

Garnish with dehydrated fruit and mint leaves. Enjoy!

Add butter to a small sauce pan and cook on low until browned. Stirring frequently. Strain and set aside to cool.

Add cream cheese to a stand mixer and whip on high. Add in cooled brown butter and vanilla bean and continue to whip for 2 minutes.

Add in powdered sugar and milk. Whip until light and fluffy. Add extra powdered sugar if too soft.

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 2.5-3 hours, flipping halfway through.
