Hello, I’m Kate!
A home cook, recipe developer, and mom who believes the best meals are made with love, shared with family, and enjoyed without stress.
MY STORY
From Messy Kitchen to Meaningful Meals
My cooking journey started in my grandmother’s kitchen, watching her turn simple ingredients into magic. She never followed recipes—just instinct, love, and a sprinkle of “that looks about right.”
Years later, as a busy mom juggling work and family, I found myself returning to that same philosophy. But I needed structure too—recipes that worked, tips that saved time, and meals that made my kids actually ask for seconds.
That’s when Kate Dishes was born. A place where real home cooks could find reliable recipes, practical tips, and a reminder that you don’t need to be a chef to make something delicious.
What I Believe In
Home-Tested
Every recipe is made in my own kitchen, tested with real ingredients, and approved by my family.
Time-Friendly
Life is busy. My recipes respect your time without sacrificing flavor or quality.
Made with Love
Cooking is about connection. Every dish is an opportunity to show care for the people you feed.
A Little More About Me
THE KITCHEN
I cook in a regular kitchen with standard appliances. My must-haves? A good knife, a cast-iron skillet, my trusty crockpot, and an air fryer that’s changed weeknight dinners forever.
THE RECIPES
You’ll find comfort food classics, quick weeknight dinners, and creative twists on family favorites. I’m all about approachable ingredients and methods that actually work for home cooks.
THE COMMUNITY
The best part of Kate Dishes? You. The home cooks who share photos, leave reviews, and tell me when my recipes became your family’s new favorite. That’s what keeps me in the kitchen, creating and sharing.
