Welcome to Going Back For Seconds!
Hi, I’m Danelle — recipe developer, food lover, cookbook author and forever fan of second helpings.
I’ve been cooking and creating in the kitchen and posting those recipes to my other food blog, Let’s Dish Recipes, since 2009. Going Back For Seconds (GBFS) is my fresh new corner of the internet where cute meets craveable. This is where you’ll find fun, feel-good recipes that look like a moment — but don’t take all day to make.
Impress Without the Stress
I’m all about dishes that look impressive but feel easy. Hosting doesn’t have to mean stress (or seven grocery store runs). Whether you’re having a few friends over for drinks and apps, or making a cozy weeknight dinner that feels a little ✨extra✨, my goal is to help you serve up something that makes people say, “Wait…you made this?”
You’ll find:
✔️ Recipes that are doable, delicious, and crowd-pleasing
✔️ Short ingredient lists that don’t skimp on flavor
✔️ Showstopping dishes that secretly don’t require much fuss
✔️ A mix of sweet, savory, cozy, and party-ready
If it’s cute, tasty, and makes someone ask for the recipe — it’s Going Back For Seconds material.
Recipes You’ll Actually Want to Make Again (and Again)
Everything I share here has been tested in my own kitchen, often with the help of my husband, three sons, and their amazing wives. (They’re professional taste-testers at this point.)
Some recipes are totally original, some are nostalgic favorites I’ve updated with a twist — and some are just pure comfort food magic. If it’s on the site, it’s been thoroughly devoured and approved by people who don’t fake it for the camera.
What You’ll Find on GBFS
✔️ Eye-catching but approachable recipes
✔️ Dishes perfect for hosting (but also just for you)
✔️ Irresistible bites, mains, and desserts
✔️ A vibe that’s fun, modern, and a little indulgent
✔️ Recipes designed to spark a “You made this?!” moment
Whether you’re planning a girls’ night, brunch, or just want to feel a little fancy on a Tuesday, you’ll find something here to serve with confidence (and probably a side of ranch).
A Little Bit More About Me
Outside the kitchen, you’ll probably find me:
📚 Collecting cookbooks and reading historical fiction
🍿 Watching Star Wars, Marvel, or anything directed by Greta Gerwig
👟 Designing custom sneakers or adding to my Funko Pop collection
🏈 Cheering for college football or watching ice hockey
🍟 Dunking fries in ranch (don’t judge)
🍪 Sneaking chocolate chip cookies after dinner
I’m also a themed party enthusiast, restaurant explorer, and firm believer that food brings people together in the best possible way.
With a degree in Advertising from BYU, I’ve spent years combining my love of storytelling, design, and cooking to connect with home cooks just like you.
So whether you’re here for a dreamy appetizer or a shortcut dinner that looks like a Pinterest board, I’m so glad you stopped by.
Because around here, one bite is never enough.
