Holland House Bar and Refuge

If you are in the Nashville area this has to be one of your stops. It's completely off the beaten path in a neighborhood on the east side of the city. Locally sourced ingredients and meticulously hand crafted cocktails are the calling cards of this lovely restaurant and bar. A great place for cocktails with the girls or date night. My two favorite cocktails were the Vanilla Sky and the Tom Waites For No Man. The mixologist make all their ingredients from simple syrups to extacts in beautiful blue glass bottles and it's entertaining to watch them at their craft. I also enjoyed and double bone in "hog chop" stuffed with a bacon jam and served over white beans and roasted brussel sprouts. Delicious!!! I also sampled the braised short ribs and roasted goat pasta. It was all fantastic and who knew I liked goat!

Make sure to check them out.

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!

Walton's Southern Table

This new restaurant in the Former Ruby Tuesday at 4901 Whitesburg Drive is a down home cooking kind of place. The decor is cheery and the friendly staff makes it a joy. Highlights are the fried okra and fried chicken that both have a magnificent scald on them. I also had the broccoli salad, divine hashbrown casserole and spinach. It was delicious however I would skip the spinach. Not much flavor and seems thawed from frozen. Hubby loved the chicken and massages potatoes. We will for sure be regulars and recommend a trip there for an affordable and delicious southern dinner!

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...
