Welcome to our sweet corner of the internet, where our passion for delightful desserts reigns supreme! Here at Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts, we have always had a special place in our hearts (and on our plates) for the perfect sweet treat. My personal sweet tooth has been legendary since childhood, and it naturally follows that dessert recipes hold a prominent and cherished spot on our blog. After all, it’s right there in our name, isn’t it? You can always expect a generous helping of deliciousness when you visit!

While my unwavering devotion is to all things chocolate – and you’ll undoubtedly notice this delightful theme as you explore my top picks – my husband often leans towards the bright, refreshing flavors of fruity and vanilla desserts. To cater to every palate and ensure everyone finds something to love, I’ve made sure to share a wonderful mix of both over the years. However, if I were left to my own devices, every single post would likely be an ode to chocolate, all the time. But for your enjoyment, and for the sake of marital harmony, this collection offers a balanced array of delectable delights. Get ready to discover your new favorite dessert, whether it’s a classic pie, fudgy brownies, a decadent cake, or something entirely new and exciting!
