Funniest cooking story: My families favorite story that my Mom will never let me live down was when I was younger...this was even pre-oven using days,I made this frozen coctail dessert thing one summer and it was terrible....if you can even imagine....it was like eating a frozen pork rind...it did this weird thing on your tongue...eeewwww.

MS Dish of the week is a fun way for us to get to know the Mommysavers members. Newbies to the board as well as regulars are welcome to participate. The Dish of the week is randomly selected a week in advance of her being featured. This is done so you can be contacted, informed of your feature date, and arrange to send a picture along with the included survey. Having a picture included is so we can make it a little more personal and put a name to a face. This is optional of course, as are all the questions being asked. If the survey is not received back from you before your “feature” date, the next member will be randomly selected and we will come back to you the following week. If you would like to participate please PM Kellynkay or Ryans_mom10 and we will get you signed up.
