Friends, it is one month until this book hits shelves. I know most authors post their tearful triumph as they view their book for the first time. I did have that moment but posting that just didn’t sit right with me. Because this book was never really about just me. Because I was more excited to put this in the hands of those I love. And say look at what you helped me do, thank you. Because the love they poured into me all these years comes out on the pages. My parents who gave it everything they had to create the family we are today. The family that I desperately want to maintain and build for Siena, in good times and bad. For the ones who came alongside me and encouraged me. Cheering me on during a career high. Or just asking me not to give up during a low moment. It’s about the team God put alongside me to help bring this book to life. It’s about the person who catches a verse on the pages in between and decides to not give up hope when it gets dark. Sure, I hope you find new recipes you love. That gets your family and friends around the table. Or even sitting on the couch with a great dip recipe, watching a movie. Or that you take the time to feed yourself in between naptime and laundry. I hope you feel empowered to drop off some baked penne vodka to a neighbor you know could use a friend. This book isn’t about me. It is about how God used someone unlikely and unqualified to do something extraordinary. It is about how no illness or no one thing can thwart God’s plan. I hope you pre-order, At the Kitchen Sink, and on April 8th we can celebrate this together. Because it is also for each one of you who messaged me throughout the years asking, “when.” @convergent_books #atthekitchensink #dishitgirl #cookbook #cookbookauthor
A few years back I worked with my friends @christianparenting_org during the Valentines season to bring you some, “DishSpiraTion “ giving you a fun recipe project for your family as well as a devotional writing to go a long with it . Years ago I had the dream in my heart for “At the Kitchen Sink.” Did you know that in addition to 70 recipes, I also wrote over 40 devotionals to go along with it ? Because I wanted to encourage you , letting you know you can come to him over and over, resting assured he knows exactly what we need. He knows how to fill the empty spaces of our hearts. Not in a superficial way, but in a supernatural way. Not with candy or flowers that will wilt, but with strength when you have none. Wisdom and clarity where needed, with peace that surpasses understanding during a storm. All if we can put aside our efforts and let God move in our hearts. Then, as our hearts are healed, they will overflow with the love of the Lord, and it will most certainly spill onto others. You can read the full devotional and grab this recipe in the archives on the Christian Parenting blog! And rest assured many more moments like this in the At the Kitchen Sink book!

Dina Deleasa-Gonsar, aka Dish It Girl, stopped by the TODAY kitchen to share two delicious Easter brunch recipes from her new cookbook, “At The Kitchen Sink.” But, first, we caught up with her about some of her favorite recipes, which of her brother-in-law, Kevin Jonas’ (Jonas Brothers) songs she likes to play in the kitchen, and more! #JennaandFriends
4 Family Episodes of Conversations at the Kitchen Sink are yours when you pre-order At the Kitchen Sink Why pre-order? Why am I talking about it way too much, haha? Bear with me friends: 🍽️ It tells book retailers this is worth stocking 🍽️ Let’s the publisher know they did good letting this girl create a book! 🍽️ You get the book immediately on the publishing date, April 8th! 🍽️ It helps indicate the success rate of the book But above all I wrote the devotionals with the hopes they bless you in moments where you need it. I thought about the chapters and recipes with you in mind. In an effort to meet you and your family right where you are at. Whether it’s in the midst of a chaotic week or creating a new memory ! It’s been almost a decade of Dish It Girl and we are entering a new chapter. I have waited for years to share a tangible piece of my heart, to thank you for helping me create this. I’m not quite sure where God will point me next, but I’m overjoyed to be able to celebrate this special time with you! Thank you for meeting me, At the Kitchen Sink ! Ps- At the of the pre-order window I will be sending out the freebies which include the videos, entertaining tips , special meal plan and zoom meeting to your inboxes. Stay tuned ! @convergent_books #cookbook #cookbookauthor #atthekitchensink
These Peanutbutter Fluff Dates are what I need around 2pm when I have had enough for the day …but still have a whole half of the day to go, haha! I take a deep breath and take a minute to have a small treat some days. It helps me take a moment and step back from the edge. A simple gesture I offer myself that goes a long way ! The “Mom Minute” chapter is all about that. Recipes I made up for myself with Sienas leftovers, like Cereal Milk Smoothies. Or quick and easy recipes that encourage us to take a minute to feed ourselves alongside our kiddos. When I was brainstorming how to structure the chapters , I sat down and thought through how I was moving and cooking through the week. In between after school activities, 20-30 minutes to make dinner, pulling from the pantry. And really everything in between! I can’t wait to share more! I will doing an IG live soon, giving you a book tour ! Thank you so much for your pre-orders and excitement. It really makes a world of difference! #atthekitchensink #cookbookcorner #familydinner #easyrecipesformoms
In honor of the Eagles win and the impending Super Bowl I thought I would share some vintage Dishitgirl from those zoom days! You can peep a special guest mvp with a curly blonde hair , just about able to see over the counter. She wanted me to fill her sippy cup , she didn’t care if I was live on Tv. What you do not see is @bgonsar crawling on the floor behind the island trying to grab her and she’s just laughing at him! I have been sending out my substack newsletter complete with my fav game day recipes. Make sure to subscribe, all the links are in my bio as always ! #dishitgirl #gamedayrecipes #momlifebelike
Still dreaming of this past Friday’s food fest for @bgonsar’s birthday @bar.mutz It’s been awhile since I have been to a place where every dish was truly good and I made a reservation for next time before I left ! The prosciutto was beautiful, the mutz reminded me of my dads homemade , each pasta dish had us arguing over which was the favorite. And those mozzarella sticks, well I am dreaming about them until April! Special thanks to @jeanettedonnarumma and @michelbezoza for the introduction 💕 #digin #thefamilythateats #njeats
Just a quick check in an sone London broil marinade !
Shrimp Scampi over Linguine from the At the Kitchen Sink cookbook !
He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him. Isaiah 53:4-5 Good Friday. He died for us regardless of whether or not we loved Him. After being beaten, ridiculed, spat at, and nailed to a cross, He still pleaded on our behalf, Father forgive them, they know not what they do. Yet, I am over here trying to apply the “Let Them” theory to people who I feel wrong me. Thank God for Good Friday, and for the depths of His unconditional love.
Today I was able to crawl out of bed and make myself my fav little cup of comfort. This Flu is brutal , but I feel like everyone takes their turn! This drink feels like half treat and half immunity boost . I heat up some of my fav creamer and water together in the microwave as if I am making tea. Then I grate fresh ginger and lemon peel into the cup, I like the pieces but you can put the zest into a tea infuser instead. I add a little bit of honey and my matcha powder, blend it up until frothy ! Along with this I am eating oranges 🍊 left and right and making sunshine smoothies. How else are you guys boosting immunity and trying deal with flu symptoms #easyrecipe #atthekitchensink #sickday #immunityboost #matchalatte
Knowing how to make a basic tomato sauce can be your best friend. It takes about 15 minutes, and having it on hand can inspire different dishes. Of course just a simple plate of pasta is magical. However, you can use this for pizza, chicken or eggplant parmigiana, or baked ziti. Don’t forget about pizza muffins for lunch! So often I take for granted that what may be an everyday recipe for me, isn’t for someone else. Or I used to shy away from showing recipes for things like Chicken Parmesan. Because I felt like there were so many out there, why add to the noise? But it never fails, everytime I make chicken or eggplant parmesan I am flooded with messages. The smell of garlic and oil frying before the crushed tomatoes hit the pan, has to be one of the most comforting scents. I also talk about this in the book. I hope you consider pre-ordering, At the Kitchen Sink for more recipes like this that become weekly staples. What else would you do with a great marinara sauce? @convergent_books #dishitgirl #marinara #sauceboss #atthekitchensink #parmigiana #pizzamuffin #realrecipesforreallife
Should you not fear me?” declares the Lord. “Should you not tremble in my presence? I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross. The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it. Jeremiah 5:22 This week last year I was watching my family ice skate, trying to be present and not think about the days of treatment ahead. I went out to dinner, although I could not eat. I was on a super restrictive diet ahead of the treatment. If I close my eyes I can still recall how it felt to get into my car after receiving my radiation pill. I remember imagining I would start screaming when I got into the car but I was quiet. There was sadness but I felt His peace as I drove to my parents’ house to isolate for the week. There are also times my mind drifts back to being wheeled into the operating room for my surgeries. I can recall getting the news that I had cancer. Looking up at the Lord saying, if I must do this let me do it well. Let me face this valley knowing full well that You will redeem it ALL. Now a year later I am struck with the realization that He has, and it is such a gift. Because to be honest, lately I felt as though I was starting to grasp at my faith. Fearing I was about to go back into the wilderness I fought hard to get out of. He clearly impressed upon my heart that I need to stand firm in knowing that He is the God that created the sand, the boundary for the sea. He controls the power of the waves, the impact of the storm. Hardships such as cancer may come, but He decides the ultimate boundary. No matter no matter how difficult the circumstances, He decides the outcome. I believe He has formed a boundary for my cancer so to speak. I need to live in that victory and proclaim it. I need to face the waves as they roll at my check-ups and as other side effects come. Carrying this encounter I have had with Lord every step of the way. He has formed a line in the sand on behalf of my life. As usual, I am a little late to the party. Took me a little extra time, but now let’s start a new year. More to come on substack, hope to see you there !
Is it lunchtime yet ?! I have teamed up with @itsgreenvalley organic beans and vegetables to bring you a recipe for a vegetarian spin on gyros! The Green Valley Organic garbanzo beans are seasoned with Mediterranean flavors and roasted until crispy. Then piled onto a pita with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cucumbers, olives, of course a good helping of tzatziki sauce. I appreciate that Green Valley products are grown and packed in the United States. Every step of Green Valley’s farmer’s growing process is certified organic. This gives Green Valleys beans and vegetables a farm to kitchen feel. I don’t know about you but I am officially looking forward to lunch! Also, fun tip: store the crispy garbanzo beans in an airtight container and you can have a great snack or topping for salads throughout the week! You can find the full recipe at welcometogreenvalley.com or visit the link in my bio & stories!

@stpierreusa has launched their new “Eat Avec Respect” campaign #ad and I thought it would be fitting to celebrate with this epic Lamb Burger with a tangy Yogurt Feta Sauce and Kalamata Olive topping served on a soft St. Pierre Brioche Burger Bun. The burger patty itself includes a blend of spices such as cumin, and onion powder, with fresh parsley and garlic mixed into the patty. Then topped with an easy to make yogurt feta sauce, and a quick kalamata olive topping that ties together this Greek-inspired burger. Elevated by the St. Pierre Brioche Burger Buns with its soft, slightly sweet flavor, there is no better way to serve up this epic burger. Recipe on www.dishitgirl.com ! #eatavecrespect
A #halfwayhomemade jam courtesy of Amaly Sesame Ginger Chicken Crumbles. I found these in Costco, not quite sure when I would use them. But days later they saved dinner. We ate every donut, taco, and pasta in sight all weekend long celebrating Brian’s birthday. We were feeling like we needed a little bit of a detox. I chopped up some celery, cucumber, pineapple, and shaved some carrots. Then piled on the crispy lettuce along with the cooked chicken crumbles. Tossed it all in this Peanut Lime & Ginger dressing for dinner in 15 minutes as I ran out the door to dance class drop off! Make sure you are following along for more #halfwayhomemade solutions. If you are into Real Recipes for Real Life moments, then check out my new cookbook, At the Kitchen Sink, available for pre-order now! 1/2 cup olive oil 1 tbsp lime juice 1 tbsp peanut butter 1 tbsp trader joes chili onion crunch 1 tsp honey 1 tsp grated ginger 1 garlic clove, chopped 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1/4 tsp pepper #saladsofinstagram #easyrecipe #costcofinds
Anyone else into more savory breakfast items over sweet? I can eat this version of french toast any time of day! This version of french toast is salty and just a bit sweet. The added bonus is you can make a little omlette if you have any leftover batter! As opposed to the cinnamon and sugar batter that is leftover from your standard french toast recipe. I am not a huge breakfast person, but this recipe always gets me! It is also perfect for breakfast for dinner. Now that I am thinking about it, I should have made this for dinner! If you are looking for more twists on your classic favorites, like Smashburger Salads or maybe you want to turn your kids leftover cereal milk into a smoothie, make sure to pre-order, At The Kitchen Sink! And follow @dishitgirldina for more real recipes for real life moments! #dishitgirl #easyrecipe #atthekitchensink #cookbook
