Welcome to
Southern Snippets
I’m Crystal. A Nashville native, wife of 15+ years, and mom of two. I love sharing my favorite family-friendly finds, from easy, healthy-ish meals (with plenty of pizza and Chick-fil-A nights) to local restaurants, travel tips, workouts, and great deals that make everyday life easier.
Real life, real food, Southern-style.
