I've lived in Nashville for almost three years and trying new restaurants here is one of my favorite past times! This list is made up of all of my favorite foodie spots.
as someone who doesn't love to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, here are the recipes that I keep going back to time and time again because even I couldn't mess them up! they're all focused around recipes that align with the colder seasons and the holidays and that would be great options for hosting or bringing to a gathering. let me know if you try any of these out!
Health nuts ..look away!!! This isn't for weight watchers, cutting calories, keto, etc. Comfort food is full of fat, sugar, and carbohydrates galore! We need these things once in a while and in moderation! Grab your stretch pants and cozy blanket!!!
I have been a home cook since the age of 7 in my MawMaw’s kitchen. All the ladies on both sides of my family are avid home cooks and I’m happy to carry on the tradition. These are my high quality kitchen favorites that last forever. Some items may be pricier, but I promise they are worth the investment.
Everything you need to whip up a season full of flavor and joy! These essentials will keep your kitchen merry, organized, and ready for every cozy gathering, cookie bake, and festive feast.
As a wifey, who needs to know her way around the Kitchen. Here are my top pantry items I use all the time. Of course, I will continue to add as I go, as I am still learning new recipes from a traditional standpoint. Also, it means more parties to host, which can be a lot of work and a lot of new items to try to suit everyone. This list will continue to grow. I hope you enjoy, and I would love to hear your own recos in the comments so I can try them.
We are big snackers in our house but also try to keep it as clean as possible within reason! They aren't necessarily low card snacks just cleaner ingredients. I try to find nutrient-packed snacks that satisfy our cravings while also nourishing our bodies. Here are all our favorites, let me know if you have any questions! . Hope you enjoy my recs and leave a comment if you have any of these in your house.
I have PCOS, so I have been on a journey to cut out gluten from my diet! I know it can be hard to find food items that aren't just rabbit food. I truly hope you are able to find something new to try and enjoy as much as I do!!
I’m widowed, and my daughter is grown, but I still love to cook and want my meals to be not only tasty but also aesthetically pleasing. However, after becoming an empty nester, I found it increasingly challenging to prepare appetizing meals in smaller portions. When I searched for ways to prepare meals for myself, I was disappointed to find that many of the recipes on the web were quite tasteless, and inaccurately documented recipes were abundant as well. Determined to create a repertoire of individually portioned meals that were easy to prepare and appetizing, I set out to do so. This list includes recipes that I have tried and found to be delicious, as well as other ideas, tools, and small appliances that contribute to making a table for one easier, tasteful, and more beautiful.
The best eats and local spots in Knoxville, TN 🩷 I'm eating my way through all the local spots and these are by far the best ones so far! I'll keep updating as I go 😋
I love to cook, especially new and exciting foods. These are the items I've bought and continue to use for a multitude of different meals. I try to pick products that are easy to store or don't take up too much counter space. I also primarily use my dishwasher to clean, so if it's not dishwasher safe, it almost never has a purpose in my kitchen (minus my cast irons of course)
These are all kitchen gadgets I have had or own now that are amazing. They definitely make my cooking, baking, frying, grilling, or any other way to make my best dishes that my family eats up.
When the sun’s out in Boston, there’s no better way to enjoy the city than on a beautiful patio with a drink in hand. *Sun, Sips & City Views* rounds up the best outdoor spots—from cozy garden hideaways to rooftop lounges with skyline views.

Coffee is one of my favorite things to look forward to when I wake up. I realized that fun little accessories & additives can really elevate your at-home coffees ✨

A personal edit of local cafés where style and coffee coexist. “Outfit Espresso” highlights thoughtfully designed coffee shops, great espresso, and the kind of places that inspire what you wear — from model-off-duty layers to quiet morning uniforms.
For those quiet cozy days, when you just want to do some easy self-care, eat chocolate and lounge around. Great list if you are nuerodivergent and coffee makes you sleepy.
We are a journey to be completely dye free in our home and it hasn't been an easy adjustment. We fucked around and found out for years with dyes. We decided enough was enough and well it was rough, so I'm hoping this list can help take the stress out of what the hell to feed your kid without making yourself go crazy. 😜 * I could receive commission if you purchase from any of my links. *
I originally was creating this list as a foodies gift guide, but honestly it’s just my go-to, hidden (not so hidden anymore) finds that have helped me elevate my cooking without taking any extra time. I like to be able to create simple, quick meals, but I also want them to feel rich, elegant, and flavorful. What would you try and comment what I should try. I’m always looking for new spices, oils, and mixes to add to my food and create new flavors.
I'm the first to admit that I know nothing about cooking and cuisine, but I am lucky enough to be married to a chef. All the items in this list are Chef Penny approved.
I consider myself a master snacker. I get a sweet tooth about once a day too. So here you will find all things munchable! From chips and crackers to indulgent chocolates, trail mixes, candies and more!
I spend a lot of time in my kitchen and these are the food brands and tools I genuinely love! From meal delivery I actually order to the gadgets that make cooking so much easier.
As a person who hosts parties, I know what a lovely surprise a good host gift can be. I named this list "don't come empty handed" because that's what my mom always told me about going to parties. She would always bring a bag of oranges as a gift to hosts. There's no oranges on this list, but there are lots of great options for various types of parties.
Welcome to my emotional snack drawer. These are the flavors I reach for when I need grounding, joy, or a little serotonin. Pantry staples, poetic comforts, and impulsive obsessions—all tested, loved, and linked with care.

These are some of my favorite places to eat in and around my neighborhood in Haddon Township, NJ. Some places are around the corner and others may take a short drive.
If trying new restaurants were a hobby, it would be mine. There’s so many food spots & local businesses all over the San Antonio area, here’s some places I recommend to check out.
This list will be updated as I find new spots to eat good food. If you’re craving something specific, check out the sections as they are organized by cuisine.
Love, a foodie. 🤌🏼
Finish strong, then head into summer feeling celebrated ☀️📚 This end-of-year college care package is packed with everything they didn’t know they needed—think brain-boosting study snacks, late-night fuel, and little comforts to power through finals week.

It’s the perfect blend of motivation, reward, and “you’ve got this” energy to carry them across the finish line and straight into their best summer yet.
this is one of the best investments I've ever made. It saves so much money on going to get coffee everyday and tastes so much better. It may look like a very complicated process but once you get it nailed down it will become your new favorite hobby.

Times are tough right now. If you're a SNAP recipient like me, you might be going crazy wondering how you're going to eat. First off, don't panic, it burns too much energy and you're gonna need that for cooking LOL Also don't forget your sense of humor when the world is absurd and cruel. If you have the storage space and club membership, Sam's Club is great for bulk items like dry goods. Aldi is where I suggest for fresh fruits and vegetables since they're the cheapest I've found so far. I'm separating this list into food categories. If anyone needs some recipes, let me know and I can make some new lists. I hope everyone struggling with food insecurity right now knows you're not alone. Don't be ashamed if you need to go to a food pantry either, we all need support sometimes. If you text your zip code to (785)503-3310 you will be sent a list of foodbanks near you. Best of luck, everyone! You matter and you deserve to eat, always
