Stirred by Faith and Family: Recipes, Resilience, and Revelations in the Kitchen

This week Dr. Kim chats with Dina Deleasa-Gonsar. Dina Deleasa-Gonsar is a multifaceted creator, blending her culinary expertise with a deep commitment to faith, family, and personal authenticity. As the founder of the popular food blog Dish It Girl, she offers a blend of comforting recipes and heartfelt reflections on daily life. Her approach to cooking is grounded in the traditions of her Italian-American upbringing, where meals were central to family gatherings and celebrations. This foundation is evident in her cookbook, At the Kitchen Sink, which combines recipes that are meal solutions with everyday life in mind, along with devotionals to help you move through your days with a lighter heart even with a full stomach. Beyond DishItGirl, Dina has aimed to create a space where everyday life, not curated lifestyle is celebrated. This is where she connects with others hoping to come alongside them in their daily life rather than out front. Dina wants everyone who finds her corner of the world to understand that they have “more to share.” As a mother who experienced a traumatic birth and journeyed through postpartum depression and anxiety she hopes to continually encourage others who find themselves in similar spaces. Whether it as simple as sharing a lineup of her favorite budget friendly snacks or the Pinterest fail of the week, Dina puts her “behind the scenes” front and center.
