Everybody's Looking for Community...

Happy Thursday, Sweet People!! In June, Sweetpea Lifestyle will celebrate 16 years of writing on the internet and helping people find community around their table. SIXTEEN YEARS, Y'all! But guess what? For most of the sixteen years, I've felt like people didn't hear me, wanted to listen, or didn't care about hosting people in their homes. They want easy recipes that are delicious and don't use a lot of ingredients. Yay! Great! Until last summer, my Instagram exploded with floods of people "coming over" for Hosting Essentials. I thought it wouldn't last, and it was a one-and-done thing. Nope! Y'all. FINALLY people are craving and needing the tools and tips I preach. ((Super Yay!!!)) Recently, I shared my "Game Plan" tool when I hosted a dinner party. I've shared about this little printable for YEARS... I scratched it out on paper in 2016... and then got smart and made it into a printable version in 2017. ((Tap this link, and it will download for you! No extra subscribing!)) Well, a quick video on the Gram is making people have the "Ah-Ha! Moment" and download this little one-page wonder! All this to say, I'm SUPER proud of Sweetpea right now. Thanks for being here and cultivating this community with me! I appreciate y'all! ((If you're new here, I am so thrilled to have you!!)) Another WIN: I'm the "Cook to Follow" in the most recent edition of Allrecipes Magazine! People are slowly finding it in their bookstores or groceries. I have yet to see it in the wild here in Asheville! I've added a couple of new recipes on my website that I think you will absolutely LOVE. āSeasoned Saltines are so addictive and yummy!! I recently remade them with the mini Club Crackers and Mini Saltines... YUM. āCheesy Hot Pizza Dip is so so good! It's a bit of a chaotic recipe in that it's meant to help you clean out your fridge of odd cheese and marinara sauce you've got hidden... Just try it! You won't be disappointed. Alright, Cute People! That's all I've got for you today! Cheers to a lovely weekend! XOXO, Ash |

Hey, Sweet Friend! Do you have a recipe that immediately makes you think of someone you love? Maybe it's your grandmother's Sunday pot roast. Your mama's macaroni and cheese. The baked spaghetti that shows up at every family gathering, church potluck, and holiday dinner. You know the one. The recipe that doesn't even have to be particularly fancy, but somehow tastes like a whole lifetime of memories. I think that's one of the most beautiful things about cooking. Food has this extraordinary...
Happy Monday, Friend! I have a little assignment for you this week. I want you to invite someone over for dinner. (I know, revolutionary, right?!) And before you start mentally rearranging your entire schedule, planning a five-course menu, and wondering when you'll have time to clean the baseboards... STOP RIGHT THERE, MISS MA'AM. I'm not talking about THAT kind of dinner party. I'm talking about the kind where you make a big pot of something delicious, light a few candles, and tell your...
Hey, Sweet Friend! I have a theory. A cozy home isn't necessarily one that's decorated beautifully, perfectly organized, or even particularly clean. It's one that feels GOOD to come home to. š The kitchen is ready for you to make dinner. š There's a place to sit down and enjoy it. š You know what's in your refrigerator. š And when someone texts to ask if they can stop by, you don't immediately start calculating where you're going to toss all your clutter by the time they ring the doorbell......
