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!

I don’t want you to miss the party...⁣
⁣
How many times have you missed the party, because you’re doing all the things, all the time?⁣
⁣
Or, you’re mid-conversation with someone, and you get interrupted because someone needs you…⁣
⁣
Do you ever feel like you can’t be present at your party??⁣
⁣
Listen, friend, I’ve been there. ⁣
⁣
So, here’s my tip...⁣
⁣
✨ 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀. ✨⁣
⁣
My goal inside the Hey, Ashley! Membership Collective is that you’ll learn how to clear the clutter in your life so you can enjoy quality time with your people. ⁣You’ll learn to curate your lifestyle so you can effortlessly host people, anytime.
⁣
What does clearing the clutter in your life look like?!⁣
⁣
Well, it might mean you need to #mariekondo a few things, but it also means getting OUT of your OWN way, and deciding that picking up take-out is easiest. ⁣
⁣
It might mean using paper products and no dishes.⁣
⁣
It might mean reorganizing your kitchen to maximize time!⁣⁣
⁣
How are you going to clear some clutter in your life and NOT overcomplicate hosting?⁣

Let’s talk about SOUP, baby. Let’s talk about

Let’s talk about SOUP, baby. Let’s talk about you and me.

As fall approaches, and cooler weather dawns, let’s all give 🙌🏼praise🙌🏼 for SOUP SEASON!

Big dutch ovens simmering something good on the stovetop are what the crisp autumn air needs.

One of my very favorite soups is French Onion Soup!

MBB and I compare every french onion soup to one we had out of town years ago…

They simmered down an entire bottle of burgundy with the onions, then added the beef stock.

Y’all.

🎟That is the ticket!🎟

Save a couple glasses of 🍷 for yourself, then pour the rest of the bottle into your caramelized onions.
Let this reduce by half before adding the beef stock in. Simmer with lots of fresh thyme and sage leaves.

It’s heavenly bliss.

My other BIG tip to make this the most deliciously decadent French Onion Soup you’ve ever had…

Add a layer of croutons and cheese BEFORE you ladle in the soup.

Then add another layer of croutons and COPIOUS amounts of cheese for the top. 🧀

⁉️ How do you take your French Onion Soup?!⁉️

“I cannot get over this weather!”⁣ — said

“I cannot get over this weather!”⁣ — said every girl, in the mountains, ever.

This week, I thought I would share some easy recipes that will inspire you to gather some people and have dinner together. 🍽⁣
⁣
Let’s safely gather some people this week for a meal together. ((We did this yesterday for a birthday, and it was so much fun. I forgot how it felt to have people gathered around a large table!)) 🏡⁣
⁣
Salmon Niçoise Salad is the perfect option for al fresco dining.⁣
⁣
Here are my tips:⁣
1️⃣ Make all the components the day before, so they're nice and cold when you serve this.⁣
2️⃣ Fill your giant white platter with green lettuce, and add #allthethings on top.⁣
3️⃣ When you're ready to serve, allow people to assemble and dress their own salads.⁣
⁣
I mean, talk about winning! 🏆⁣
⁣
You can literally assemble this salad in the morning, place it on the table when you're ready to eat, and actually enjoy your dinner party! ⁣
⁣
Crazy, I know!⁣
⁣
✨ Quality time with friends and family shouldn’t be a luxury. ✨⁣
⁣
So, this autumn, I'm saying YES to all the yard parties while being mindful of physical distance.⁣

FALL-elujah, y’all! 🍂👏 I’m sitting outs

FALL-elujah, y’all! 🍂👏

I’m sitting outside on the porch, and it’s 62˚. And I’m getting that September whiff of Autumn, and it’s just so incredibly pleasant!

It’s Labor Day Weekend, and I had to look up what that meant.

“Labor Day: What it Means
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.”

Seems fitting to celebrating Labor Day this year, with everyone shifting their jobs to fit a global pandemic.

It does not seem fitting that we can’t *actually* party for this—I mean, navigating my small business in 2020 has been the wooden roller coaster from Dollywood, that always needs maintenance.

So, dear friends, I’m shouting a big “CHEERS!” to you! Let’s keep working our way through 2020 and show it who’s the boss. 💪🥂

I mean, we could call these ✨Social Distance Che

I mean, we could call these ✨Social Distance Cheeseboards✨ if you’re up for that…

These are ‘Safer at Home’ approved since you get your own cheeseboard filled with all the things you love.

I created these mainly because I am one person…

Who doesn’t need an entire big #cheeseboard.

But, then they also work out for a porch party, too!

Think about it, no more trying to be polite and leave one piece of the ‘good stuff’ because you don’t want your friends to think you’re a savage… 🙋🏼‍♀️

You just snag the whole individual plate, and it’s all yours baby!

If you’re new to pairing cheeseboards here are some tips:

🧀 Choose salty and sweet combos 🍐

🍋 An aged white cheddar pairs so well with a ginger snap and a dollop of lemon curd.

🍎 Apple slices with gruyere are always a winning combo.

🍇 And grapes with a soft cheese like brie or goat cheese is just sublime.

🔽 Tell me below what you’re favorite cheeseboard ‘things’ are!

“Hey, Ashley! How can I host a dinner party with

“Hey, Ashley! How can I host a dinner party without breaking the bank and making it nice, but simple?”

This question is one of the most asked questions—so,
🥳 Let’s chat… Entertaining on a Budget!

Raise your hand if you’ve been to the over-complicated dinner party. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Raise your hand if you hosted the over-complicated dinner party. 🙋🏼‍♀️

{I’m raising both of my hands…}

While I appreciate them, and I tried to host that way for years, I’m over it. 🛑

One, they’re expensive AF. Seriously.

Even if you buy all the things on Amazon and at the Dollar Store, and craft your little heart out…

The time and energy you spent… was it worth it??

Did it actually make your event better? Like, did people have a better time because of all the things you did??

Sooo friends, there are 3 easy ways for entertaining on a budget!

1️⃣ KEEP IT SIMPLE
2️⃣ USE WHAT YOU HAVE
3️⃣ DELEGATE

Over on the blog, you can learn a deep dive into entertaining on a budget—that still makes your gathering Insta-Worthy! 🎉

How do you keep it under control (budget-wise) when entertaining at home?!

🥳 Yes! It’s Pasta on my feed!!!

Months ago, I ranted about how I didn’t like pasta. ((I like it, just not often. But, if you know IRL you know I don’t like most things often… Leftovers are a killer for me)) 😳

And y’all went HAM on me… 🙄

Sooo, y’all—I’m finally sharing our family's favorite pasta recipe!

Cheese and Pasta in a Pot is an absolute WINNER for dinner!

I've scaled the recipe down so it feeds 4-6 well, and double it for 8-12+ servings.

Cheese and Pasta in a Pot is just that—cheese, pasta, red sauce with ground beef, and a layer of SOUR CREAM that will surprise and delight your tastebuds!

THIS is a pasta dish that will instantly gather your people around the table—there will be plenty to share. 🏡

What is your go-to Pasta recipe that you and your family love?!
