Congratulations to this New Area Business

THE MISSION OF OUR 2025 WINNER – At What Momma Makes, we believe that everyone deserves access to delicious homecooked meals. That’s why we created our Ready-Made Meal Service, to make it easier for people to enjoy fresh, nutritious meals without the stress of cooking or doing any prep work. Pick them up or have them delivered. Meal time should be about enjoying a meal with the ones you love, or maybe on the couch watching your favorite movie. Let us make meals easy and enjoyable.
INSPIRATION – At the top of a mountain in Positano, there is a beautiful family who has a restaurant, and it is there where Jodi and her family enjoyed a magical meal. The son of the restaurant owner, the waiter, said “we don’t have menus , you eat What Momma Makes! ” This is how Jodi and Nick raised their 3 children, and now are ready to feed your family. The kids have finished college and the Pendolino’s love and passion for cooking can finally be shared. They love spending time in the kitchen, at the dinner table and hope that you will enjoy their meals with as much heart as they put into making them for you.
