I publish what I actually cook: quick breakfasts, weeknight mains, crowd-pleasing sides, sweet treats, and helpful how-tos. My goal is to help you cook with confidence, even on busy days.

What you’ll find here

  • Breakfast – fast breakfasts, make-ahead ideas, and weekend favorites.
  • Lunch & Dinner – pastas, bowls, soups, one-pot meals, and quick stir-fries.
  • Breads & Baking – loaves, rolls, quick breads, and simple bakes.
  • Sides & Salads – vegetables, grains, potatoes, and easy dressings.
  • Desserts – cookies, bars, cakes, and fruit desserts.
  • Kitchen Tips & How-Tos – substitutions, freezer guides, and step-by-step basics.

How I test recipes

  • Consistent results. I test until the recipe is repeatable and reliable.
  • Everyday ingredients. You can find almost everything in a normal supermarket.
  • Clear steps. Short instructions, sensible prep order, and helpful notes.
  • Options. Swaps and make-ahead/freezer notes whenever possible.

A little backstory

Dishes & Recipes started as a personal collection of weeknight meals and evolved into a place to share practical cooking that fits real life. If you love food but don’t want complicated steps or rare ingredients, you’re in the right place.
