A huge thank you to everyone who joined for our Mom’s Night Out event on March 1 at Jasper Winery! With the cold winter weather, this was a much needed night out for many to enjoy with friends.

Mom’s Night Out has continued to grow over the years with more and more moms taking time for themselves. We definitely packed the house! Des Moines Moms Blog is honored to provide great events for our readers.

Food & Drink Partners

Fong’s Pizza opened in January 2009 by a group of local owners. The previous restaurant in the downtown location was King-Ying-Low, Des Moines’ oldest Chinese restaurant since 1908. It inspired the Asian influence in Fong’s menu and decor.

Are you looking for a unique experience? Picture a ‘frozen in time’ dive bar offering Asian-inspired pizzas and appetizers, sandwiches, salads, and desserts. We also offer gluten-free and vegan selections. Be sure to try a tasty tiki drink or one of our delicious beers, many of which are brewed here in Iowa. Our fun-loving staff is here to show you a great time as you explore Fongolian territory.

 

Agri-Cultured Fermented Foods is a company based and founded in truth. We believe that in order to have health, we must heal our guts by choosing to eat foods that are high in “good” bacteria. We hand-craft and ferment Kombucha, Kimchi, Sauerkraut, Natto-Hummus, Salsa, and many other vegetables that offer gut-healing properties.

 

McAlister’s Deli-West Des Moines provided their delicious sandwich wrap pinwheels and their flavorful Savannah Chopped salad. They started in the small southern town of Oxford, Mississippi. A movie production had taken an old service station and retrofitted it into a 1950’s-style diner. After they finished, it sat vacant until a dentist bought the property. McAlister had a vision of turning the abandoned set into a small restaurant. And in 1989—you guessed it—the first McAlister’s opened its doors. Much like today, they offered a unique menu with sandwiches, salads, spuds, and a heaping spoonful of southern hospitality. They quickly became known for our great food, large portions, wide variety, and a welcoming environment… also one heck of a glass of sweet tea.

Dessert Partners

Nothing Bundt Cakes in Clive provided their famous Buntinis! To find the perfect recipe, you first need the perfect ingredients. And that’s what their founders Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz were for each other. In 1997, they joined forces, or better yet kitchens, to help make cakes to entertain their friends and family. The cakes they made were delicious, unlike anything anyone had tasted.

 

Cupcake Addict is a Johnston-based cupcake business, that also produces cake balls, custom cakes, and chocolate decorated pretzel wands. They understand the importance of high quality ingredients to create a high quality product. More importantly, they never freeze their cupcakes! All cupcakes are made-to-order for the highest quality and freshness.

 

Molly’s Cupcakes provided delicious mini cupcakes!  

Miss Molly: Molly was my third-grade teacher. Whenever one of us had a birthday, she would bake us cupcakes. I still remember how good they were. She had her own special recipe for chocolate and vanilla. Just about everyone who tries them thinks they’re the best cupcakes ever. 

Our Mission: In honor of Molly and as a way to help our children, a portion of our profits is donated directly to schools in our community. Every time you eat a cupcake or sip a latte, you help our kids. So eat up!

 

 

Brookies provided tasty treats to attendees!
