About me

Welcome to Dear Dishes!

 Hey, I’m Darcy—the cook, writer, and mess-maker behind DearDishes.com. I’m so glad you’re here.

My goal? To make your kitchen feel easier. Around here, it’s all about practical, stress-free meals that taste great and fit right into your week. Whether it’s a 20-minute dinner, a lazy Sunday lunch, or a quick sweet fix, I’ve got recipes you’ll actually want to make again.

Why Dear Dishes?

 Because real life gets hectic, and cooking shouldn’t feel like a chore. I’ve been that person googling “easy dinner ideas” at 6pm—so I stick to recipes that are:

  • Quick & Easy – Most are done in 30 minutes or less.
  • Simple Ingredients – No specialty runs, just what’s already in your kitchen.
  • Full of Flavor – Every dish brings big taste with minimal effort.
  • Tried & True – Recipes tested in a real kitchen (mine), so you know they’ll work in yours.
  • My goal? To give you meals you’ll actually want to make—on repeat.

A Little About Me

 Cooking’s always been more than just a to-do—it’s how I unwind, connect, and make life taste a little better. I started Dear Dishes to share real-life recipes that work for real-life people.

 Here’s a little about me:

  • Favorite thing to cook? One-pan meals—because who has time for dishes?
  • Kitchen motto? “Keep it simple, make it tasty.”
  • Coffee or tea? Coffee. Always coffee.
  • Dream food trip? Italy—for the carbs, the cheese, and the views.

Partnerships & Transparency

 At Dear Dishes, I occasionally team up with brands I genuinely use and love. You might also see ads here and there—they help keep this site (and the recipes!) free for you.

 When I do a sponsored post, it’ll always be clearly marked. No gimmicks, just real talk and real products I’d recommend to a friend.
