I have a recessed light above my sink that is eating bulbs. About every

connections in the switch box and replaced the switch - to no avail. Any
other suggestions?

Sounds like an overheating problem to me.

What's the wattage of the bulbs? Is it at or below the fixture's maximum
wattage rating?

Are there vent openings in the can which are blocked by something above
the fixture?

If all else fails, replace the switch with a slide type dimmer and rig
something to keep the slider from moving all the way to "full".

HTH,
