Jalisco styles in Nashville, Carniceria Y Taqueria Don Juan!

0

Recently a local real estate company posted a “Essential Taco Trail” list of Nashville. Not only were none of the shops owned by a hispanic owners. None of them are in the history and traditions of Mexico. You can not say that about Carniceria Y Taqueria Don Juan. Not only does Carniceria Y Taqueria Don Juan have a fantastic butcher shop (Carniceria) above the Taco Shop (Taqueria). They also have done it with making changes for Vegan types like us. They did it without losing any of the fantastic taste they brought across the border. The taste of Jalisco and the generations of people who made it one of the best regions for Mexican food. Here is a sample of what we saw on our most recent visit.

Carniceria Y Taqueria Don Juan is located at 2910 Nolensville Pike next to the Nissan Dealership.The patio seating at Carniceria Y Taqueria Don Juan is perfect for the upcoming warm summer days. They don’t have a presence on Facebook or Instagram. Customers geo tag them all the time. They have a stellar Yelp rating. Support Real Mexican in the Heart of Nashville!

0

People rave about the Mewsic Kitty Cafe experience! After we posted about the new cafe in Nashville a friend of ours scheduled for a Saturday visit and they were blissful with the experience. But, how does this fantastic style of Catriffic (sorry) cafe work?

Mewsic Kitty Cafe is a one-of-a-kind cat cafe that could only happen in Nashville, TN; paying homage to our namesake city in feline form while providing a vibrant, comfy, cage-free place for our adoptable headliners (that’s the cats!) to meet their furever families. We’re a creative space for cat enthusiasts to work, play, and indulge in a little “cat therapy” while enjoying a taste of the local scene through comforting drinks and sweet snacks .

Our Mission

Mewsic Kitty Cafe exists for the love of cats, people, and Nashville, TN by:

​

  • Providing a relaxing, cage free environment for foster felines until they meet their furever families.

  • Entertaining cat lovers of all ages through meet and greets, events, and cafe treats.

  • Educating the public on responsible cat parenting to help create happy, healthier cats, families, and communities.

So What is Vegan Ice Cream and “Why?” We turn to KoKos Vegan Ice Cream for Answers.

0

KoKos Vegan Ice Cream opened last month in their Porter Road location. They’ve done pop-ups for quite a while now and people are falling in love with non-dairy Vegan Ice Cream. But why and what is it?

WHAT

Let’s hand off to KoKos for this one:

I don’t know about you, but dairy free ice cream has left many of us less than impressed. That’s why we made it our mission to change that! After extensive experimenting, traveling and tasting, we landed on our proprietary formula for the BEST vegan ice cream we’ve ever had. European gelato meets American hard ice cream. It really is in a class of its own.

​

Rich, creamy and smooth like a premium ice cream should be!  All the right feels, made with all the right stuff…

​

So what’s in it?

Our base recipe consists of a 100 % organic coconut milk, organic evaporated cane sugar, pink Himalayan salt, sour salt and organic Indian cluster bean and a lot of love.

​

We rotate our flavors frequently to keep it fun! We use organic ingredients where we can and offer gluten free and soy free options.

​

Oh and one more thing! We chose to not only make our ice cream vegan, but also nut free!  We wanted to create a low allergen ice cream that everyone can enjoy! *

​

​

* Manufactured in a shared kitchen facility. Cross contamination could be a risk for severe allergies.

 

WHY VEGAN ICE CREAM

Well, first we must be a bit gross but according to NutritionFacts.org “The elimination of all dairy products was found to cure constipation in up to 100% of kids tested, leading to a resolution of rectal inflammation and complications such as anal fissures.” So, the switch for our young ones to Vegan Ice Cream can be really helpful but what about adults? Again, according to NutritionFacts.org  studies have shown the galactose in milk may explain why milk consumption is associated with significantly higher risk of hip fractures, cancer, and premature death. So, it’s a healthier option.

So, make the switch and live a better more tasty life with KOKOS Artisan Vegan Ice Cream. Click the name to find them on Facebook. Also click HERE to follow them on Instagram. Don’t forget to look for the bike around town or swing by the shop at 729 Porter Rd!

 

A Wonderful Spot To Find Uniquely Nashville Gifts, Gift Horse Nashville!

0

Jess at Gift Horse Nashville is a great example of why shopping local is great. Not only is she a great resource for buying local, which she is. She also has curated a wonderful store with perfect designs and thought to give to friends and family. We recently looked around Gift Horse Nashville.

A Look Inside

From Gift Horse:

Shopping for unique, affordable gifts in East Nashville just got easier: Gift Horse — an art­ focused shop stocking paper goods, home goods, handmade gifts and more — is now open in the Shoppes on Fatherland.

The shop grew in part out of co ­owners Jessica Maloan and Andy Vastagh’s respective backgrounds in design and printmaking: Vastagh runs Nashville design and screen print company Boss Construction; Maloan — one of the local craft market Porter Flea’s cofounders — and maker behind Pine Street Makery, screen printed home goods.

Gift Horse has a prominent focus on paper goods, including art prints and greeting cards, but a broader appreciation of independent artists drives the shop’s overall aesthetic — Gift Horse’s shelves highlight an array of regional makers, including Boss Construction, Cold Gold, Pinch Pot Love, Rebecca Green Illustration, and many more.
