Williamson County, Centennial High School- home of the Cougars - has joined the Healthy Vending Revolution! Christy Sykes, owner of Healthy Vending Tennessee, has been installing Fresh Healthy Vending machines in local schools and businesses in Williamson County and Nashville. Centennial High School is the first Williamson County School to join the revolution. Sykes say "kids are more aware of healthier food options that ever before" and she wants to make those options available in and out of school. Sykes has children in Williamson County Schools and she feels the best place to start change is at home. The machines contain all-natural and organic options of drinks and snacks - and with over 500 items to choose from there is a machine to fit any locations needs.

Nucci's is bringing old fashion Italian in a modern setting.
Imagine strolling around a piazza in Rome on a nice day with a scoop of cool, crisp gelato. That’s a nice image, right? Well, that plane ticket is rather expensive but take a trip down Meridian Boulevard in Cool Springs and you can experience the genuine taste of Italy at Nucci’s.
I walk into this shop with a friendly staff and pictures on the wall only to find out that it is family run and the family tree is what you see in those frames. Steve is the owner – he is a man with a broad range of knowledge. We talked for a long while about many things, not just gelato, and he was an absolute pleasure with his clear point of view and passion for what he is doing with Nucci’s.
A man out of “Corporate America”, which is what brought him and his family here from Pennsylvania, Steve sought to create something that would bring a new experience to this area as well as something he would enjoy beyond office life. Having been raised by an Italian mother, he grew up watching her make sauce and enjoyed the love she put into it. That same love now goes into what is done at this shop.
Making this place a reality, however, was more than Steve’s doing but was truly a family effort with wife, Connie, and their kids: Ben, Jay, Erin, and Morgan. Up north they studied under Carmen Esposito, a well-known gelato consultant and instructor, on how to produce authentic Italian gelato or as Steve calls it, water ice – you’ll have to ask him the difference. Gelato was the start to this vision, which then became a full café.
Wanting to separate themselves from the norm, this family took a look at how the food industry is doing business, and they noticed that the typical product being generated is high in fat, low in flavor, and large in portion. Taking note, their mission was to basically do the opposite offering food and dessert that is low in fat, high in flavor, and appropriate in portion. Our bodies crave these types of things – foods that are clean and not riddled with preservatives. People have commented on that the gelato must have something in it for them to crave it the way they do. The fact is that it is clean, homemade, and your body recognizes a good treat.
The family at Nucci’s is dedicated to making you good food, but they are also bringing the Italian culture to Cool Springs. You can learn Italian at the shop, which is brought to you by Italian For Fun, and also be educated on history and events in the area. That’s not the only thing special going on there – they have specials on gelato every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I recommend the Hazelnut, at least that’s my favorite, but the most popular is the Stracciatella. Whatever you decide, it will be fresh and made by the family serving you.
Enjoy.
