    I’m the Midwest mom cliché — casseroles, chaos, and a deep love for cozy dinners

    Who am I?

    Hi, I’m Janel — the Midwest mom behind NellieBellie.

    I balance a full-time job, a busy house, two dogs, and a deep love for recipes that feel like comfort and sanity. I believe dinner should be doable, nourishing, and maybe even a little fun — especially on the days when everything feels like too much.

    I work for a nutrition company by day, so I care about what’s in our food. But I also know that sometimes, caring feels like one more thing on the list. That’s why I share cozy, family-friendly recipes that work in real life — no guilt, no gourmet expectations, just food that feeds your people and your peace of mind.

    What you'll get:

    • 5 cozy soup recipes
    • family-friendly & freezer friendly
    • real-life ingredients & nutrition that makes sense
    • tips for making soup easier on busy days
