Making it Midwest

Hi I’m Emily! The foodie behind Making it Midwest ?

This mid-American food blog is full of well-balanced recipes for every occasion; especially those nights when you have no idea what to make for dinner. My cooking is inspired by my Sicilian heritage, my mom’s rural farm upbringing in Illinois, and the Asian flavors I fell in love with during 10 years working in a restaurant.

I love turning leftover ingredients into delicious meals and sharing recipes rooted in family traditions and cherished experiences.

Making it Midwest is a way for me to share my recipes with family, friends, and the world! My passion for food and entrepreneurship has blossomed into this little foodie endeavor.

Check out my recipes and if you want to chat all things foodie find me on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok! 

Thanks for being here 🙂 

Don’t forget, if you like it, like it! Leave a comment to show gratitude and support.
