My Kitchen Recipes

Turn Ordinary Dinners into “Remember When You Made That…?” Moments

What if your kitchen could be the place everyone looks forward to at the end of the day—not just for the food, but for the stories, laughter, and “you have to make this again” comments that follow?

My Kitchen Recipes: Recipes That Keep the Family Talking is your down-to-earth guide to comfort food that actually fits real life: busy schedules, picky eaters, hungry teenagers, and those nights when you’re tired but still want something homemade and satisfying.

Inside, author Joe Danks shares the recipes his family actually asks for again and again: cozy one-pot meals, smoky weekend showstoppers, easy cookies, warm drinks, and pantry mixes that save you time when life gets loud.

What You’ll Love Inside

Real-life recipes for real-life nights

• From 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies and Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies to Chicken & Dumpling Stew and Lazy Lasagna, these recipes are written for busy home cooks—no culinary degree or fancy equipment required.
• One-pot comfort meals that save your sanity
• Cozy stews, hearty pastas, and “throw it all in one pot” dishes mean fewer dishes, less stress, and more time sitting at the table instead of standing at the sink.
• Smoker favorites that make you the weekend hero
• Fall-apart Smoked Brisket, Honey BBQ & Apple Juice Chicken, and juicy Smoked Turkey (with bullfrog and spatchcock methods) turn simple gatherings into “when are you making that again?” events.
• Pantry power: mixes, spices, and sauces that work hard for you
• Stock your shelves with homemade Brownie Mix, Hot Cocoa Mix, Cappuccino Mix, Ranch Powder, Country Gravy Mix, Seasoned Salt, and Teriyaki Sauce so you can whip up flavor-packed meals and treats anytime.

The Transformation: From “What’s for Dinner?” Panic to “You Have to Try This!”

This book isn’t just a pile of recipes—it’s a different way of thinking about cooking at home. With My Kitchen Recipes, you’ll move from:

Staring into the fridge and feeling stuck

Rotating the same three meals every week

Dreading the cleanup after cooking

to:

• Knowing you can pull together a satisfying meal with what you have
• Having a go-to list of “that was so good” recipes your family recognizes and requests
• Making one-pot and low-fuss meals that cut down on dishes and stress
• Turning ordinary nights into simple, memorable moments around the table

You’ll build a small, trusted arsenal of recipes—smoker mains, one-pot dinners, quick cookies, easy drinks, and pantry helpers—that make you feel confident in your own kitchen, whether you’re cooking for two or feeding a crowd.
