Hi, Sweet Friend! It’s been a little while since I popped into your inbox (since March — yikes! 🙈), but with autumn settling in, now feels like the perfect moment to cozy back up together. Fall is that season where everything slows down just enough — golden leaves, crisp air, hearty meals — and it reminds us how good it feels to gather. Whether it’s a simmering pot of chili on the stove, a tray of roasted veggies fresh from the oven, or an impromptu dinner party with friends, autumn practically begs us to come to the table. Here at Sweetpea Lifestyle, I’ve been dreaming up: I’m so glad to be back in your inbox — and I’d love to know: what’s your favorite fall comfort meal? Just hit reply and share it with me! I recently added one of my favorite summer squash recipes from my childhood. Sunshine Casserole is a light, super-freezer-friendly yellow squash casserole that is perfect for using up the last of the garden harvest. Since you last heard from me, I've been cooking and hosting a LOT! My website is filled with new recipes! But, I have one favorite: Sweetpea's Firecracker Seasoning. While it's what I use when I make my not-so-spicy firecracker with saltines... It's been a handy helper in my kitchen. I reach for this jar all the time! 🥂 Here’s to cozy nights, full tables, and a fresh new season, P.S. Keep an eye out for my next email — it’s a recipe you’ll definitely want in your autumn rotation. P.P.S. If you want to unsubscribe, I will not be offended!! I know email boxes get cluttered, so if the next few emails don't spark joy and encouragement, you hit the unsubscribe button! 🥰 |

Hello, Long Lost Sweet Friends! Did you miss me?? Probably not, y’all! 😜 As lots of things change in our internet world, I’m *trying* to adapt along with it. If you’re new to my list, Hello! I’m Ashley! I’ve been creating content on the internet for the last 17 years. What started as a holistic blog evolved into a recipe blog and is not evolving even more! This year, I’m changing my blogging strategy. When I started this “game,” you didn’t depend on what Google and search engines needed — you...
All right, people, life is weird these days. Anyone else?! (If you're in the WNC area, yes, it's weird.) I'm trying to wrap my head around scrapping my Q4 content plan and doing whatever I'm supposed to be doing. I've gone through my thousands of photos and compiled all the posts I haven't published, thinking that could be a good use of my time?! These Caesar Chicken Wings are worth the minimal effort, and the Caesar dressing recipe is just sensational on its own. I've shared a video for this...
