GrandMother's House

What can I say? I love good country cooking and GrandMother's House just went to the top of my list. It's located in Owens Crosss Roads in a little house that any Grandmother could call home. It's off the beaten path but easy to find. We were greeted by a kind, older gentleman and were sat in the front dining room. Our lovely waitress was welcoming and just what you would expect. Service here is nothing but down home friendly. I had Country Fried Steak with Speckeled Butter Beans, Creamed Potatoes and Fried Okra. I couldn't smack my momma so I smacked my husband! The steak had a perfect scald on it and the creamed potatoes reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. The okra was breaded perfectly and the beans were delicious. Hubby had Chicken n' Dupplins with Fried Okra, Lima Beans and Cucumber Salad. He was in heaven. We hardly spoke during our meal except to tell each other how good the food was. I can't wait to go back!! You have to try this restaurant.

Easy Mushroom and Spinach Quiche

Hubby and I love quiche but with life being what it is I don't always have time to make crust, sautee and cool spinach and veggies, hand shred cheese then bake. So here is my throw together quiche. So I used store bought everything. I even used frozen roasted mushrooms! Make sure to defrost spinach and mushrooms and set to drain to get out as much water as possible. Next place refrigerated pie crust in a 9 inch pie plate and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. I use clean, dried beans instead of pie weights. In the meantime mix up the egg mixture and measure out the cheeses. Remove pie weights or play find the lucky bean. Layer spinach and mushrooms and top with cheese. Pour egg mixture over the top. Bake for 45 minutes or until middle is set and top is browned and delicious. So here is the recipe: 1 refrigerated pie crust 1 10 oz. box frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry 1 8oz. bag frozen roasted mushrooms, thawed and squeezed dry 1 cup shredded cheese of...

Whiskey Kitchen Again,,

Well it was time for a Whiskey Kitchen lunch. I haven't had a bad meal once! Fried green tomatoes, fried cheese curds and a huge bowl of salad. Salad is easy but with super fresh ingredients and homemade Maytag Blue Cheese dressing it's a great lunchtime choice. Seriously, if you are in Nashville you have to try it!

Chipotle Mexican Grill **

Seems I'm on a Mexican kick! Chipotle Mexican Grill is located next to Earth Fare on University Drive. The decor is simple and the music is hip. I have heard great things about Chipotle from several friends and was very excited when one opened here recently. They use sustainable sourced ingredients and all their meat has no added hormones or antibiotics. It's the way food should be produced and prepared. I must say that I was very disappointed with our visit. The service was less than stellar with trash bins overflowing with messy tables and beverage area. The folks behind the counter were more involved with their own conversations and being snarky with one another. They just opened so they were very busy but so are a lot of places. I had a braised carnitas burrito bowl and Hubby had the barbacoa burrito. All I can say was that it wasn't the worst food I've ever had. The meat lacked flavor and the rice had several bits of uncooked pieces. We left a little sad and cravin...
