Ever since I returned from all the adventures in Branson, Missouri (you can read about them on MidwestMomLife.com) I’ve been craving Nachos Italiano from Florentina’s Ristorante Italiano.

3 Kid-Friendly Alaska Pollock Recipes
Happy Monday mamas! The kids had the day off from school today and it was a rainy/windy/snowy one that kept us indoors. Perfect time to play board games, watch movies, and bake together. My twins LOVE any chance they get to help mom in the kitchen whether it’s cupcakes or Alaska Pollock. You heard that right. I got my kids to try a new fish!
The Herb Cooking Hack You Want + Honey Ginger Shrimp

Five Cheese Hash Brown Cups
Side dishes can get a little humdrum after a while. The same veggies, the same carbs, and the same salads. In an effort to add more variety, I’ve been trying out some new side dishes for dinner. Some things haven’t been received so well by the family, but these Five Cheese Hash Brown Cups made with…
Cranberry Turkey Cheddar Crescent Rolls
I want all the foods when Thanksgiving rolls around. Turkey and ham, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, green bean casserole and stuffing. Cue the drool as I think about Thanksgiving dinner.

My Ode to Banquet Pot Pies
Twenty-one years ago Banquet Pot Pies entered my life.
Introduced by my boyfriend, who now calls me his wife.

Delicious homemade taste you want to savor like kissing.
