The Dashley's Kitchen Beginnings

I have the worst anxiety when it comes to people asking me to "bring something" to a get-together or family dinner. It stressed me out for years not having a tried and true wheel house of recipes to pull from. And I decided I was ready to be trusted with more than just bringing the butter to Thanksgiving dinner.

So, a couple of years ago I did something about it. I started documenting and recording I recipes I KNEW were good. Finding quality, healthy, family meals can be so hard. It's my goal at The Dashleys Kitchen to create the best, easiest and most delicious family friendly recipes.

Meet my Official Taste Testers

James is in a purple sweatshirt and enjoying helping mom prepare these smoothies.

And to fully catch the vibe of my kitchen ... these fellas have been here for every single recipe. You'll see Luna and Dash offering their support and encouragement often. They are some of our blog's biggest fans!

And a big kudos to this guy. Without Dallin this passion project would never have been possible. He is my best sous chef, the oh so talented food photographer and videographer, and most dependable and honest food taste tester.

Dallin stands with sunglasses on holding James who is wearing his hat sideways.
