Why make it hard, when you can make it easy?!


Hi, Friends!

It's May, so people are cramming everything into 31 days, and you're just trying to keep your head above water!

I have some meals for you that will make your life much easier!

First, this chili recipe is so easy. It's very filling and could definitely be a slow-cooker meal.

Make a big batch of this chili and eat it for dinner with sour cream, cheese, and cornbread! The next day, it's great served with crunchy chips like nachos!

Roasted Cranberry Chicken is a baked chicken dish that while it takes some time in the oven, it's super quick to throw together.

I like to serve this with 90 second rice and some roasted broccoli.

Cheese and Pasta in a Pot is great for all the pasta lovers! It's a layered pasta bake that people just love. This will definitely feed you for a couple of meals!

Sheet Pan Chicken Quesadillas are another winner. You mix up rotisserie chicken with a cheesy dip, slather between the tortillas, and bake until golden brown. These freeze beautifully, too! I wrap them individually in foil, then heat in my air fryer.

Good luck, people in a busy month!

Now, if you're like me, a kid-free-partner-free person, it's just a "regular old month!" I'm doing some traveling and taking it a little slower this month. (I say that, but it's stacking up quickly!)

Cheers, y'all! Enjoy your weekend!

XOXO,

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!

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...
