Hello and welcome to Let’s Dish Recipes! I’m Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes and how to make them.
My Philosophy in the Kitchen
A friend once described my food as “uptown foodie meets real life,” which sums up my cooking philosophy perfectly. I rarely make anything that takes a long time or has a long list of ingredients.
Many of my recipes are original creations. Others are my adaptations of recipes I’ve collected over the years, along with a few special recipes–like Grandma’s Banana Bread and Favorite Chocolate Fudge–that have been handed down from grandmothers and great-grandmothers.
Tried and Tested Recipes
Every recipe on my site has been tried and tested by my husband and three hungry boys. And some of them have been tested by my beautiful daughters-in-law. Over the years, my husband and kids have also helped me create, cook, bake and photograph many of the dishes you’ll find here.
I’m pretty proud of the fact that my grown-up boys can all cook up amazing meals in their own kitchens. I love it even more when they come here for inspiration, or to make the recipes they grew up eating.
My Top 10 Favorite Recipes of All Time
You’ll find so many great recipes here, but if I HAD to pick my all time favorites, it would be these — in no particular order. Mostly because they’re associated with special family memories (and are also delicious and easy to make). These are the recipes my kids ask for when they come home.
- Slow Cooker Pork Chile Verde
- Rolo Cookies
- Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches
- Creamy Tuscan Ravioli Soup
- Mexican Street Corn
- Lemon Cheesecake Mousse
- Restaurant Style Mexican Rice
- Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Bundt Cake
- Best Butter Chicken
- Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip
A Little Bit More About Me
I love reading–especially historical fiction–and I definitely read cookbooks like novels. I’m a big fan of Star Wars and Marvel, anything directed by Greta Gerwig, custom sneakers, college football, ice hockey, peanut M&Ms, chocolate chip cookies and French fries dipped in ranch dressing. I love trying new restaurants, throwing themed parties, and working in my home office surrounded by my extensive collection of Funko Pop figures.
I have a degree in Advertising from Brigham Young University, and I love using those skills here at Let’s Dish. And yes, I’ll encourage you to visit the farmer’s market one day and share a recipe made with canned soup the next. I keep artisan vinegar in the pantry and a tub of Cool Whip in the freezer. Because that’s what “uptown foodie meets real life” is all about!
I hope you discover lots of favorite recipes here at Let’s Dish. Thanks so much for visiting!
