With so many different neighborhoods and vibes, it can be difficult to choose where to stay when you visit Nashville. Do not fear! I’ve helped you narrow your search
This cozy Italian spot is great for a date night or an intimate night out with friends.
Ah, The Stillery. One of my standbys. You can always be sure you’ll have good food, good service, and a good time at either location.
I love the vibe at Harding House Brewing, and the beer is fantastic too. Bring your dog and chill at the picnic tables on their deck, or hang out in the airy, industrial indoor/outdoor space.
I love sweets, but I’m finding healthier alternatives to the processed, refined sugar sweets I used to crave. These Paleo Snickerdoodles by @paleorunningmomma are a great alternative for when I want something a little sweet… especially around the holiday season. They’re dairy free, gluten free, and vegan!
Being from the South, I grew up with sweet, decadent desserts like banana pudding, pecan pie, and one of my favorites… peach cobbler. I love eating peach cobbler during the summer when peaches are in season. Luckily, I’ve found a grain and dairy free version which leaves out ingredients like sugar and flour that weigh me down.

Strawberry season is soooo close, and I absolutely can’t wait to eat them...literally. Local strawberries aren’t available yet, but I grabbed some today at the grocery store and knew exactly what I was going to do with them. I recently tried out @purely_elizabeth granola and I fell in love with the crunchy, lightly sweet formula with a touch of saltiness that takes it to another level of deliciousness for my taste buds. So I chopped up a few strawberries, added a few spoonfuls of granola and topped it with whipped coconut cream, and in minutes I had a sweet treat with no refined sugars. I used the cranberry pecan granola, which I really like, but I prefer the original flavor (the cranberries are a little chewy and I don’t like how they get stuck in my teeth)! I made my own whipped coconut cream with added vanilla and a touch of maple syrup. It is such a great treat/dessert that doesn’t leave me feeling guilty. And it got a 10/10 from my taste-testing daughter! 😊
