Dear Ones, ((It's taking me days to write this email... I keep not sending it, and you sweet people keep writing in to check on me and my family! Y'all are so dear!)) Many of you know I live and breathe my hometown of Asheville, NC. I was born and raised, and I still live in this beautiful city. Driving out of town, I had tears streaming down my cheeks while I evacuated my darling town. It looks like the worst apocalyptic scene you've ever seen. What you see on the news is nowhere close to what it looks and feels like in person. While my people are safe and accounted for, the horrors left behind have me staring at the ceiling into the wee hours of the morning. "Where do you even start?" I kept wondering as I drove out of town, passing standing water, submerged buildings, and upended livelihoods. Many have asked what we need, what they can do, etc. I'm passing along the nc.gov/donate link. Here are other venues for you to donate to: I am safe and well-cared for in a different state, away from my dear parents and my darling grandmother. Thank you to everyone for their concern, words of encouragement, and hope for Asheville's recovery. Heaps of Love, Ashley |

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...
