April Showers Bring May Flowers

I love flowers. I am currently working on my summer garden. I'm not very far. So far I have purchased a pretty hanging plant for my back deck and a few flowers as well. I'll be honest....I'm just a little bit tired of Lowes SO I decided to venture last weekend down to the Flower Mart in Green Hills with my friend Jason. They have so many additional options and the prices are reasonable as well. They have great garden flowers and alot of options for shrubs and trees. I didn't see any cherry blossoms but that is next up on the list.....

NOLENSVILLE FEED MILL: AN AMISH COUNTRY MARKET

As you know, my dear friends, I truly enjoy discovering a new restaurant, boutique, or any other hidden treasure. SOOOOOOO last week I went out to Nolensville to pick out a few items for my house at Three French Hens. I ended up getting there about thirty minutes before opening, so I wandered across the street to the only place that was open. It is this moment, that I encounter The Feed Mill. OH MY GOSH. Since I was the only person in the store, I taste-tested practically everything in the store. All of the product are local from Tennessee. They sell fresh cheeses (um, they had Blueberry Cheddar Cheese. Delish), milk, pie fillings, jams,veggie chips, chocolates, fresh bread, and much more. All local. I ended up coming home with two pie fillings (peach and key lime with which I plan on making my homemade pie from my New Year Initiative list!) and some FROG jam. Do not be alarmed about the FROG jam. Initially they told me that, yes, it was indeed made of FROG legs, but this is a lie. It actually stands for Fig, Raspberry, Orange Marmalade, and Ginger. BEST Jam I have ever tasted. So....it is now another place to add to my list of secret spots. So fun.

THE PERCH might be my new obsession....

Have you ever been somewhere and INSTANTLY fallen in love. Well, it has happened today. My BFF Matty called me this afternoon super excited because he looooooves crepes and hasn't been able to find anywhere in Nashville that has them. In comes THE PERCH. I tried to put off going until next week, but Matt would not have this. He would be at my house in thirty minutes and we were going to eat crepes immediately. So.....an hour later we have arrived. Let's just say it is DARLING. Very small- just a few tables. Just the way I like it. Definitely one of those places you could go by yourself and sit for hours reading and drinking coffee.

Now, not only was it precious, but the menu was small and full of deliciousness. Also please note that my friends know how excited I get when I see a menu full of adjectives describing desserts. They get a kick out of it and make me read the menu to them out loud. I am pretty sure there is nowhere else in Nashville where you can consume an Orange Creamsicle Latte (candied orange and white chocolate) or a Smurf Latte (white cholate and blueberry). They had several types of crepes, but I chose the "healthiest" on the menu which was the Smore's Crepe- filled with marshmellows, hershey bars, and crushed graham cracker. Pretty sure I died and went to heaven. On top of that I had their Cinnaroll Latte. Mmmmmmm! Matt and I are extremely excited about our discovery and have decided that it will be our secret spot. But here I am sharing about it, so I guess it's not a secret anymore. You should probably try it out.
