To celebrate, they are offering a different special starting this Sunday. See full calendar here: Local Special Calendar copy. Free Eskimo Bars will be offered with the purchase [...]
Last weekend I went into the grocery store to pick up some fruit and was shocked to find bags of fresh Key limes – a rarity not just in Jackson, but they are hard to find in other places too. Immediately I knew what I was making that weekend: Key lime pies! I grew up [...]
Atmosphere enhances everything. And at Nani’s, a newly remodeled look creates an updated, yet classic, environment to enjoy the food you have always loved. The Parker family, who have been in business serving classic Italian fare since 1990, wanted to enhance the character of the older building they occupy on Glenwood Street. Son Buck Parker [...]
I am not sure if it is the weather, the change in season or the fact that I am busy with work, but I am uninspired. So how can I inspire others to get inspired to cook in this state? I can’t! So, I must find a way out of this dark hole and find [...]
I am back! And by back, I mean back in the kitchen with enthusiasm about it again. I have more time on my hands, there are more spring vegetables trickling into the markets and I am finally enjoying making more food at home. It feels good; cooking is fun! This last weekend I made [...]

On Valentine’s Day my husband and I enjoyed a delicious meal at Nani’s. I ordered the lemon pasta.

Several weeks later I was hosting some girlfriends for dinner and decided to create an at-home version of the dish. [...]

I recently had the pleasure of going to a spa to enjoy a few days of rest, relaxation and, of course, food. Upon arrival, I was first impressed by the extensive garden surrounding Lake Austin Spa Resort. I haven’t seen the ground since December in my own garden, currently covered in snow, mind you. I [...]
I love good food. And if it’s healthy good food, that is an added bonus. Lately I have noticed more and more delicious healthy food options. The salad bars are stocked with grains, beets and more unique items that will fill you up. More restaurants are offering quinoa and kale on the menu, too, as [...]
Are you one of those people who get sucked in by the McDonalds commercials advertising seasonal shakes? Specifically in season now is the minty and artificially green Shamrock Shake. I personally refuse to eat at McDonalds, but I have been known to crave a DQ Blizzard every now and then, and I know some out [...]
