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! Can I tell you something that's been on my mind? We're two weeks away from Thanksgiving, and everywhere I look, people are talking about the turkey. How big it should be. When to thaw it. Whether to brine it. How to get the skin perfectly crispy. And don't even get me started on the great dressing-versus-stuffing debate. But you know what I haven't heard enough people talking about? The people sitting around the table. Not the place settings. Not the centerpiece. Not...
Hey, Sweet Friend! Happy Sunday! Pour yourself another cup of tea, grab your Thanksgiving notebook, and let's get down to business. We are officially in the thick of November, and I have one very important question for you: WHAT'S FOR DINNER? No, not Thanksgiving dinner. I'm talking about tonight. Tomorrow. Next Thursday when you're exhausted, and the last thing you want to do is figure out what to feed everybody. Because here's something nobody talks about when they're handing out...
Hey, Sweet Friend! Well, would you look at that. I just realized I haven't emailed this whole list since October 15th. WHOOPSIES. š«£ Now, before you think I've been sitting around eating bonbons and watching the leaves fall, let me tell you what I've been up to! All October long, I hosted something called Prepsgiving. Every single day, I sent an email with one small task to help us get ahead of the holiday season. Nothing extravagant. Nothing requiring a trip to HomeGoods and a second...
