Hey, Y’all!

I'm Ashley and I believe life starts at the table. Since I was a little girl, my favorite place to be is at the kitchen table -- surrounded by the people I adore, eating delicious food, and listening to family stories. Let's create life around the table!

Inside the walk-in pantry, was a shelf filled with all the perfect tea party things you could imagine. ⁣
⁣
Among the shelves of canned goods and grits were little teacups and saucers, little spouted pouring jugs, and little plates. 🥫🍚⁣
⁣
A humble step stool was the table du jour, and a ball gown was always donned. 👗⁣
⁣
My love of serving others and sharing things around the table has been a lifetime for me. ⁣
⁣
And, as I grew up, the tea parties became more real, and no step stools required. ⁣
⁣
As I started to host things on my own, I wanted it to look like a magazine spread. ⁣
⁣
I wanted EVERYTHING to coordinate and be well planned. ✔⁣
⁣
Do you know how exhausting this is?! ⁣
⁣
With all the 'over the top' paraphernalia, guests would say things like “This is so much work! “I can’t believe you went to this much trouble!” “I could never have you over!” ⁣
⁣
This left me confused and irritated… I had done all that work, for them… 😡⁣
⁣
I didn’t even get to enjoy the party. ⁣
⁣
The moment was over, and the quality time had disappeared. ⁣
⁣
People don’t have more fun when the party's over the top. ⁣
⁣
Good conversations don’t magically happen when there is a table filled with stuff, and people have a hard time seeing each other. ⁣
⁣
So, this is what I learned: ✨ simple is best. ✨⁣
⁣
Have you ever scrolled Pinterest or Instagram and said “Wow. I could never do that.” ⁣
⁣
So, you don’t. ⁣
⁣
Gathering around your table doesn’t have to be what Pinterest and Instagram tell you -- it doesn’t have to be so much work, you skip the quality time with your people. ⁣
⁣
YOU CAN ACTUALLY ENJOY THE PARTY! 🎉 ⁣
⁣
If you're ready to enjoy the party, stick around! My recipes may be super simple, but they allow you to effortlessly entertain people around your table, cultivating community one meal at a time!

Schnaaaacks!⁣
⁣
Y’all, I love snacks. I think I’d rather eat a dinner made up of snacks than a real meal…⁣
⁣
Maybe…⁣
⁣
We all have our childhood nightmares of stinky, stanky Brussels sprouts being boiled on the stove-top.⁣
⁣
I can remember my (weird) little brother BEGGING my mom to make the kind you boil in the plastic package from the freezer?? That smell is something I will never forget!⁣
⁣
I’ve got a few secret tips for roasting the most perfect Brussels sprouts that will have your friends asking you how you get them so yummy, yummy.⁣
⁣

⁣
1️⃣ Cut your sprout’s little stem ends off.⁣
⁣
2️⃣ Cut the sprouts in half or in quarters, lengthwise (that means from the stem end to the top).⁣
⁣
3️⃣ Add to a big bowl and coat (well!) with olive oil.⁣
⁣
4️⃣ Sprinkle salt and pepper (today we’re using ranch seasoning!) on top and toss REALLY well to coat.⁣
⁣
5️⃣ Roast at 425˚ for 15+ minutes with the FLAT SIDES DOWN.⁣
⁣
6️⃣ Halfway through give them a look-see and check if any need to be flipped.⁣
⁣
7️⃣Serve! (Yourself off the sheet pan, or on a big platter for others!)⁣
⁣
I like to mix ranch with @cholulahotsauce and dip the crunchy-crispy snacks in it!⁣

🌟⁣⁣As humans, we crave connection with people. ⁣⁣
⁣
We crave a tribe of people who are OUR PEOPLE! 💃🏼🕺🏼⁣
⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣I’m here for you, friend! ⁣
⁣
⁣⁣I’m here to guide you to opening your doors, letting people in, and cultivating that tribe you crave in your life — and it’s all about *good* food that WILL gather people around your table! 🎉⁣ (Once it’s safe safe. You can do this outside, socially distant too!)⁣
⁣
⁣🔽 Tell me! How are you cultivating your tribe this summer? ⁣⁣⁣

Because I’m feeling all kinds of *fresh* today…⁣
⁣
It’s National Picnic Month, which means you’re going to need copious amounts of Pimento Cheese. 🥂⁣
⁣
I am very, very particular about my recipe. 💁🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
You’ve got to hand grate your cheese, there is no time for the pre-shredded business in this deliciously creamy spread. 🧀⁣
⁣
You must use @dukes_mayonnaise. You can order it. Shipping is an actual thing.⁣
⁣
You must use @mtolivepickles roasted red peppers, that you then dice with a knife. 🌶⁣
⁣
Lovingly mix the pimento cheese together. I don’t want to see any quick flipping and flopping business… 🥣⁣
⁣
And, let this goodness sit in the fridge for at least an hour+ before you go spreading it on crackers or a slice of white bread. 🍞⁣
