Welcome to Three Plates Dining, a collection of American comfort foods designed for every guest at the table.

Each recipe is offered in three versions — classic, vegan, and diabetic-friendly — so you can cook one menu that works for everyone without sacrificing flavor.

Browse by style below or use the search box in the header to find dishes by name, ingredient, or dietary need.

Classic American Recipes

These are the familiar versions of your favorite dishes: rich baked brie, hearty chili, creamy casseroles, and crowd-pleasing desserts. Perfect for when you want the traditional flavors you grew up with, made with simple techniques and ingredients you recognize.

Vegan Comfort Food

Plant-based twists on American classics, created to keep all the comfort while skipping the animal products. You’ll find mains, sides, and desserts that are balanced, satisfying, and easy to serve to mixed-diet groups— whether you’re fully plant-based or just adding more vegan options to your table.

Diabetic-Friendly Recipes

These recipes are developed with lower sugar and more balanced carbohydrates to better support blood-sugar–conscious eating, without giving up the experience of classic dishes. Each recipe focuses on approachable ingredients and familiar flavors, but always check with your own healthcare provider for what fits your needs.

Appetizers & Small Bites

Start your meal with shareable plates like baked brie, dips, finger foods, and party-ready snacks—available in classic, vegan, and diabetic-friendly variations where possible.

Main Dishes

Hearty entrées that anchor the table: skillets, roasts, pasta bakes, chilis, and more. Mix and match classic, vegan, and diabetic-friendly versions so everyone has a satisfying main course.

Desserts

Finish strong with pies, bars, cakes, and spoon desserts designed to match the rest of your menu. Where possible, you’ll find classic, vegan, and diabetic-friendly spins on the same sweet idea.
