Loveless Cafe

As we got to the end of the Natchez Trace we were all getting hungry. We were not sure where to go and we had no GPS so we just headed to Nashville. We figured we would just go look till we found something. Eric saw a sign for a gas station so we turned that way figuring we would get some drinks and a snack. Well we took the turn and there it was. The Loveless Cafe. I had this on my Pinterest board to go eat at and we had seen it on TV before. All Eric had to hear was that they claimed to have the best biscuits and he was parked in the parking lot.

We had about an hour to wait till we were able to get seated so we went to walk around. We stopped in this little shop there and 3 of the kids got these bacon suckers everyone was walking around eating. Zoey got the chocolate covered one. I tried it. Ummmmm what are people thinking? It was nasty. It tasted like sweet bacon bits. No thanks. The kids liked them though and everyone else seemed to so whatever. I just won't be doing that again. I got a few homemade caramels and they were good. Little Eric has this HUGE oreo rice krispy treat that was super yummy and gooey.

We had to hid in the car for a bit because it was poring but it stopped just before it was our turn to get seated. Shortly after we sat down the famous biscuits came out. There were more on the plate but everyone grabbed them before I could snap a picture. You can tell I had to take this picture fast before they were all gone. The biscuits were good. Eric said they were not the best he had ever had but they were up there. William said it was defiantly worth the wait and he HATES waiting. The jams though....OH. MY. GOSH! That apricot one there was THE BOMB! I could have eaten the whole thing. 

The famous biscuits after the kids grabbed them all.

It didn't take long for the food to come out and it was very good. We all enjoyed it and ate it up. It was definitely worth the wait and the drive out there. Eric managed to order dessert though I am not sure how he had any room in his belly.

My dinner. Chicken fried steak, gravy, sweet potatoes, and the BEST hashbrown casserole I have had in a LONG LONG time. 

Eric got 3 meats. He choose hot chicken, meatloaf, and bbq pork. He said it was all very good. You can see he got the hashbrown casserole too and green beans. 

Little Eric of course got a buffalo chicken sandwich. The kid is 90% hot sauce and chicken. 

The dessert. Pecan Pie. Once again people could not wait for me to get the picture first. It had a touch of cinnamon in it and it really made a difference. I will have to do that from now on when I make pecan pie. 

Overall we really enjoyed our meal. They were really helpful with Ashton's peanut allergies and made sure we knew all the precautions and what might be cross contaminated. The wait staff was good as well and they were always moving. There is quite a wait even at 3 in the afternoon so if you want to go, go early or expect to wait quite a while. I think it is worth the wait though. The atmosphere is great and I wish the rain had held off so we could have looked around more. We planned to walk more after dinner but by the time we were done we were stuffed and not in the mood to walk around. 

Kitcheneez

So while I was surfing the Internet one day while I had my cast on I came across this company Kitcheneez. I was interested since I was not digging standing up and cooking fancy things with my cast on. These looked easy enough that Monkey could make dinner without my help or I could with little work. After sending the owner about 6 messages about their facility, ingredients, process, ect I was satisfied that they were safe for Monkey and his nut allergy so I ordered the small starter kit they had on sale. 

The next day I made a sandwich ring. I decided to try some of the Garlic and Herb mix on the top and it was WONDERFUL! In fact I was instructed to make another one the next day. 

I tried most of the things from my kit and was hooked in my next order one of the things I ordered was the Chicago Italian Beef. I miss it. I have tried to make it MANY times over the year and it never is quite right. This one was almost PERFECT!!! I was impressed and so was The Hubby. If I was not already hooked this would have done me in. 

Another favortie is the Idaho French Fry sauce. It is ending at the end of the month so I ordered 3. Pretty sure I will be getting one more order before it leaves. 

Another one leaving the catalog is the New York Coney Dog sauce. No more canned hot dog chili in our house. I ordered 3 of these too but think I need more. 

Lisa is the owner and is AMAZING! She is very attentive to our wants and needs and always listens to our concerns. She has made sure to keep things nut free. In the winter they have fudge made at another facility. Last year it was cut and packaged in our facility but in another area. This year she has done one better and it will be packaged at the fudge place and then sent to Kitcheneez!!! We also have a large selection of gluten free items. They are made I. A separate area to avoid any glutton getting in! Lisa makes everything fresh to order so you get the very best quality. Our items come in re-sealable bags as well!
