I don't understand the cleaning your dishes to put them in the dishwasher. My mom's like that, drives me crazy!!!
Friends think I'm nuts because we are 2 people and I run our DW about 5-6 days during the week. I wipe food off, empty the cups, glasses and bowls, careful getting stuff like rice off the dishes and never have a problem with food on the dishes after the normal cycle. Friends tell me they only have a full load about once or twice a week, maybe that's because they wash their breakfast and dinner dishes by hand, dry them and put them away. My DW was bought to work for me, not the other way around. It also makes the kitchen look cleaner by holding the dishes, etc. inside until it's full and ready for cleaning.
