As much as I love to bake sweets and eat out in restaurants, I have to find some kind of balance so I can still fit through my front door. I’m always on the lookout for healthier meal options and have as many diet…
It is my pleasure to introduce you to Kris Geist and Elizabeth Cole, the creators behind The Heirloom BLT Stand. This Saturday will be the second year the stand is featured at the annual Tomato Art Fest in East Nashville. I speak from experience…
When I think of pizza rolls, I think of those tiny fried bites of non-recognizable pizza goo that you find in the freezer section. I’ll admit I’m guilty of buying them, but never again. Not after I made these Pizza Rolls from my fellow…
Happy Birthday to me! Ok, so not me, but this food blog. I can’t believe it was one year ago today I started writing about food. I look back to that first entry (see Herbed Chicken and Broccoli Quiche) and I remember how exciting…
Ah, time for another chocolate post. Which is perfectly fine with me seeing as that means I’ve gotten to eat some fabulous chocolate! I got my first taste of Schakolad Chocolate, located at 443 Cool Springs Blvd. in Franklin, at the Taste of Music…

Merridee’s Breadbasket is one of my favorite places to have lunch. It’s located at 110 Fourth Avenue South in Franklin. I have had this chicken salad sandwich, chips, fruit tea, and slice of pie combo so many times, that I really need to branch…
Stop the presses! I’ve found the most wonderful caramel dessert known to man. Let me introduce you to Chocolate Toffee Caramel Bars. As far as desserts go, this one sits pretty high on my “oh my gosh I must make this again soon” list.…
On an outing with the girls, I got the chance to try Holland House, located at 935 West Eastland Avenue. The inside had a nice atmosphere (although they had AC problems on this day and I was a sweaty mess). It’s dimly lit but…
I try to make new recipes as often as I can, but of course it’s hard to not make the usual or my favorites. Every now and then, I spread out my cookbooks, sit in the living room floor, and just spend hours sifting…
After hearing so much about The Perch, I thought it was time to check it out for myself. It’s a creperie and coffee house in Brentwood, located at 117A Franklin Road. I was skeptical because I thought a crepe would not fill me up…
Grilling has got to be one of the best ways to cook meat. Nothing like a summer day with the grill going and smelling your soon-to-be meal. I’d love to make homemade barbecue sauce from scratch, but the easiest way to marinate meat is…
