Hi, I’m Grace. Welcome to My Dinner Plate.

“The best recipes don’t just feed you—they tell a story, they feel like home.”

I’m Grace Miller, a self-taught home cook, comfort food enthusiast, and the heart behind My Dinner Plate. If you love the smell of something baking in the oven, believe in the magic of simple ingredients, and think dinner is better when shared, then you and I are going to get along just fine.

 

Where It All Began

I grew up in a small town kitchen, where love was measured in ladles, not spoons. My mom never followed recipes. She trusted her senses and her heart. I learned to cook by standing next to her, watching her work with whatever we had and turning it into something special.

Back then, meals weren’t just meals—they were moments. Moments of laughter, quiet comfort, and connection. That feeling stuck with me, and it’s the reason I started this blog.

What You’ll Find Here

At My Dinner Plate, I share recipes that are:

  • Simple enough for everyday cooking
  • Comforting like a cozy hug
  • Delicious without being complicated

You won’t need fancy equipment or hours in the kitchen. Just some everyday ingredients, a little time, and a dash of curiosity. These are the meals I make for my own family—and now I’m passing them on to you.

From one-pot dinners to nostalgic casseroles, easy soups, and sweet bakes, there’s something here for every kind of home cook.

A Bit About Me

When I’m not testing a new recipe, I’m usually:

  • Flipping through old cookbooks for inspiration
  • Sipping a second cup of coffee while writing notes in the margins
  • Watching the light change through the kitchen window as something simmers on the stove

I believe in slowing down when you can, saying yes to dessert, and using cooking as a way to show love.

Let’s Stay Connected

This blog is more than a collection of recipes. It’s my way of inviting you into my kitchen, my stories, and my heart. I’d love to hear from you—whether it’s your take on one of my recipes or a favorite food memory of your own.

“Come for the recipes, stay for the warmth.”

Thank you for being here.
Let’s cook something special together.

With love,
Grace
