Summer squash grows like a weed (read: very well) in most people’s gardens. And while I don’t have a garden of my own yet, everyone else I know who does grow veggies in their yard shares their excess with me! So with bags of zucchini (and yellow squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, etc…..), what do […]
I love documentaries. And good food. And I love that I have like-minded friends with whom I can share them! Last week I was treated to a gourmet meal at Thomas & Jeanette’s house. Sushi-esque appetizers made from zucchini and cucumber, baked tilapia and an eggplant stew. Our after dinner fare was Foodmatters-a very well […]
Apparently I have yet to outgrow Highlights magazine. I know what you’re thinking….. “Yeah, I used to read that too!! “Then I turned 5.” The magazine showed up in the mail at my office one day (why? still not sure….) I let nostalgia take over as I thumbed through it, harking back to my second […]
Last weekend’s canoeing trip on the Buffalo River meant that our friends took us to the Amish farms right down the road. We came home laden with fresh, local honey, cantaloupes, bell peppers, blackberries, green beans, and potatoes (!) Unfortunately, the fruit flies decided to stow away and make a new home in our kitchen. […]
Even though this local restaurant isn’t local to me anymore (being located in Memphis, not Nashville), I couldn’t resist reviewing it. It has fast become a place I HAVE to visit whenever I’m in Memphis. This is not your typical cheese-laden, fajita-sizzling, monster margarita Mexican joint (though there’s nothing wrong with monster margaritas…). The owner’s […]
Goose [goos]: 1) A web-footed swimming bird 2) What I often call my husband 3) Quite possibly the BEST restaurant in all of Nashville The thought crossed my mind to come back the next day. And next week too. After checking out their website, I was quite impressed with their credo: We make delicious, nourishing, […]
I just had to share a picture of this omelet. Never before (and possibly never again) have I made an omelet this pretty. No oozing, no lost vegetables, no misshapen egg blobs….. Hopefully you’re not expecting me to tell you how you can make a perfect omelet as well, because, like I said, it may […]
If you have been wondering what ever became of my CSA Debate about a month back, here is the final decision….. Even though we really wanted to, we opted not to join a CSA this summer. The main reason being the necessity of putting up the money on the front end (darn those student loans […]
No. That is not a metaphor. No symbolism or hidden meaning. For real, a raccoon stole my cell phone. How, you might ask? Well, one beautiful spring day Drew and Lori packed up their camping gear and hit the road to the Savage Gulf State Natural Area. I found a great little article online about […]
This, my friends, is good news. Very good news. This news from the Nashville Business Journal online really made a buzz on my bargain hunting radar. Whole Foods Market is offering a 9.5% discount on everyone’s total order on Thursday, April 15, 2010. This applies to both Nashville locations (in Cool Springs and Green Hills) […]
Since I’ve joined the crusade for getting back to our roots and living naturally, I’ve been impressed with how “green” Nashville is/is becoming. The organic, natural, local, free-range, grass-fed, recycle-able, compost-able, sustainable stuff is really catching on here in Music City. Granted, “going green” can sometimes just be the trendy thing to do. But I’ve […]
