A Little Midweek Magic ✨ (New Recipe + Favorites)
|
Let’s stir up a little Midweek Magic! Shocker: I’m not Italian, and I don’t even like pasta. But I love to make up a giant pot of Italian American Bolognese and use it in all kinds of recipes. I’ll freeze it in pint containers, and then pull out one when I need it. I’ve been eating this pasta alternative, and it’s not too heavy! Made from lupini beans, it’s a great low-carb pasta. Before we get into Things I'm Loving, I would *really* love your input on a little, quick survey! Y'all know I love prepping ahead of time for the holiday season, but I would be tickled pink if you'd share your thoughts! Things I’m Loving: Kaizen Pasta & Rice — I don’t like how heavy pasta sits in my tummy, and a couple of years ago, I got terrible food poisoning from rice… So, I’ve been seeking an “alternative” that wasn’t just plain gross. While this is definitely not rice and not pasta, it feels similar in your mouth. Vineyard Vines Sweatshirt — this oh so cozy sweatshirt has hardly left my body to wash it..! Extra soft. Extra loved. Paris Tea from Harney & Sons — this is my everyday tea that I drink! And it is my absolute most favorite blend of all the blends I’ve tried. Part of my evening routine is setting up my coffee maker (that I only put tea in!) with this Paris tea. Anytime I serve this to a new recipient, they ask what it is and where they can get it. It’s that good! Friend of Mine Conversation Cards — I love a conversation card. LOVE them. I’ve got lots of sets! This set is great for a thought-provoking, end-of-the-evening prompt. ✨ Here’s to finding little sparks of joy in the middle of the week—whether it’s a cozy sweatshirt, a steaming mug of tea, or a comforting meal. Wishing you a touch of magic for the days ahead! 💕 Heaps of love, y’all! Ash P.S. If you scrolled right to the bottom, welcome! Take this survey and I'll love you more than my luggage! |

Happy Wednesday, Sweet Friend! We’re just a few weeks away from Thanksgiving — that magical day that everyone loves. It's a foodie's Super Bowl, and I want to make it a *little easier* for you! Before the chaos of gravy, pies, and timers begins, take a few minutes to make sure your kitchen is stocked with the basics that actually make cooking (and hosting!) easier. These are the workhorses I reach for all season long — and honestly, all year round. 🥄 Ashley’s Prepsgiving Kitchen Must-Haves 1....
