Happy Fri-Yay, Sweet Friends! This week is over! Happy Fri-Yay, Sweet Friends! This week is over! We made it. If you’re new here, Hi! I’m Ashley! The Sweetpea behind Sweetpea Lifestyle. When I was a little girl, I would play in my darling grandmother’s walk-in pantry. I’d set up a big tea party and chat with my dolls about how I made all the food and set the table. Now, as an adult, I get to do this same scenario FOR A LIVING! ((Pinch me.)) I am so grateful for each one of y’all who shows up and engage with my posts here on the ‘Gram. You’re amazing! Thank you for endless words of kindness, sorrow, and reverence for my sweet hometown of Asheville, NC. . . . #hostingideas #hostingtips #dinnerpartyinspiration #blogger

RECIPE: 1 cup Sour Cream 1 garlic clove, grated with a microplane 1 lemon, zested and juiced 8 grinds of your pepper mill Sprinkle of salt Mix all of that together, and serve with your chicken or pita crisps! Because it has raw garlic in the recipe, toss this sauce if you won’t finish it all. Or, if you’re wanting to make it ahead of time and save it, use half a teaspoon of garlic powder. What do y’all put on your Cava bowls?? Say CHICKEN for the chicken skewers! . . . #chickenrecipe #summerrecipes #chickenbowl #ricebowl #cavabowl #makeitathome

How are you supposed to move onto normal life, whe How are you supposed to move onto normal life, when the life you feel cowardly leaving is a horror show… How are you supposed to be “business as usual,” when you know people are missing, you know they’ve lost everything… How are you supposed to share recipes when you can still hear the trees falling around you, praying it wouldn’t be on you… While I am safe and sound, I’m stuck in a middle ground… Part of me is compartmentalizing all the things, all the sites, all the smells, all the sounds from my beloved hometown; pining to move forward, posting content, and living life. The other part of me sits in silence, paralyzed, feeling helpless. Feeling guilty for leaving town and not sticking it out. ((But, if you can leave you’re supposed to evacuate, right?)) I’m not good at the helpless thing. I’m terrible in emergency situations, I’m not the person you call for that. I am great at making a plan and taking action. Seeing a situation, assessing what needs to be done, and getting it done. THIS. This is too much. 💔 Love to all my dear people as we charge forward, through another unprecedented time. As I gather my content plan and pivot, please know that when I post something, there is a broken heart posting. I’m not disregarding the devastation, but I’m just putting it in a box and not keeping it tucked away. #hurricanehelene #828isgreat
Hi, People. I’m safe. My family and dear ones ar Hi, People. I’m safe. My family and dear ones are safe. 💕 My beloved Asheville has been tossed and turned over, something I hope I never see again in my lifetime. 💔
What’s missing from your life?? Maybe a little What’s missing from your life?? Maybe a little Spicy Maple Bacon?! Roast your bacon, but add a little swirly, twirly drizzle of maple syrup, red pepper flakes, and black pepper… It takes my main squeeze Snoop D-O-double Gs Billionaire’s Bacon and gives it a little Autumn Lift. Come on now! . . . #hurricanehelene #easyrecipes #baconrecipe #snoopdoggrecipe
I am about to BLOW your mind with this Grilled Che I am about to BLOW your mind with this Grilled Cheese Secret Ingredient… ((And y'all, unclutch your pearls...)) No, it’s not the @dukes_mayonnaise I put on the inside… No, it’s not the humble American Cheese double stack… It’s BROWN SUGAR! Just a smidge on the outside of the toasted bread! Try it and tell me how you feel about your life after. Sometimes, you just need a truly cheesy grilled cheese sandwich on a cold winter’s night. Give this “hack” a try, and let me know what you think! . . . #grilledcheese #kitchenhacks
Chicken Ranch Dip! This is a play on Buffalo Chic Chicken Ranch Dip! This is a play on Buffalo Chicken Dip, but instead of hot and spicy chicken dip, we’re flipping the cards. It’s a great dip for when you have some people who don’t like the spicy buffalo chicken dip. The spicy people still get their kick with the spicy chips dipped into the cool, ranch flavored dip. It’s a great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken, or make a show-stopping appetizer for game day, holiday parties, etc. Say RANCH in the comments, and I’ll send it to you!! . . . #chickendip #chickenrecipe #easyappetizer
Cheesy Stuffed Chicken! It’s a mouthful, that i Cheesy Stuffed Chicken! It’s a mouthful, that is SO yummy!! RECIPE for 2 Chicken Cutlets: 2 Chicken Cutlets, that you’ve added a slit to, to stuff the cheese mixture in. 2 TBS Olive Oil, divided 1 TBS The Usual, divided Cheese Mixture: 3 TBS Shallots and Chive Boursin Cheese (any flavor will do!) 3 TBS Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 TBS Cream Cheese, room temperature To your chicken that’s been sliced, cover it with one tablespoon of the olive oil and half the seasoning blend. Rub it down all over. Mash your cheese mixture together, and stuff into your chicken evenly. If you feel like you need some toothpicks to hold it all together, go for it. Sprinkle the rest of the seasoning blend, and the rest of the olive oil. Bake your chicken at 350˚ for 30-35 minutes, or until it’s cooked through to 165 degrees internally! Let it rest for 5+ minutes. And be careful! That cheese with scorch your mouth… Don’t ask me how I know, but I know. . . . #chickenrecipe #hurricanehelene #cheesychicken
Lipton Onion Dip is Hurricane Ready! Y’all, it’s a classic for a reason! This is a great snack to keep in your fridge for Hurricane Helene! When you have your container of dip ready in the fridge, you’re ready for all the reading and dipping your heart can measure! What’s your favorite way to dip into this recipe? . . . #easyappetizer #hurriancerecipes #hurricanehelene #retrorecipes

Welcome, Autumn! I love you. Fall means, it’s t Welcome, Autumn! I love you. Fall means, it’s time to get back to Sunday Roast Dinners. Roasting a chicken at the beginning/end (is Monday your start of the week, or is Sunday?!) of your week is one of the most comforting things to do for yourself. The garlic herb butter is the chef’s kiss for a *moist* flavor-filled chicken that pairs with all the side dishes you can think of. It’s also great for making chicken salad for the week, or using in soups and casseroles. Need the printable recipe?! Say BIRD in the comments, and I’ll share the recipe! Cheers to cooler-ish weather, and Libra season! . . . #roastedchicken #libraseason #easydinnerrecipe #sundayroastdinner
Vanilla Almond Iced Tea! This recipe is an oldie Vanilla Almond Iced Tea! This recipe is an oldie but a true Goldie! 🎉 In the south, people are known for their glass of tea and maybe the porch you share it on! 🥰 This tea recipe uses simple store-bought staples that you pour together. It’s definitely a cheater iced tea recipe, and I’ve been chastised for it...a LOT! 🤦🏼‍♀️😬 Here’s how you make it! ✅ Pour a bottle of UNsweetened tea into your drink dispenser. ✅ Pour a bottle of Simply Lemonade into the dispenser. ✅ Add ✌️ tablespoons of vanilla extract. ✅ Add ✌️ tablespoons of almond extract. 🥄 Stir them together, top with ice, and garnish with lots of sliced lemons. 🍋 It’s the PERFECT Game Day weekend drink!

Say TEA in the comments, and I’ll share the recipe! . . . #sweettea #teatime #southernsweettea #arnoldpalmer #beveragino
Summer is coming to a close, but that doesn’t me Summer is coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean grill season has to end… and you’re going to want these grilled chicken tips! ((tips for grilling chicken…)) Using the Power Hour Marinade I keep in my fridge, spritz a lemon over the chicken while your grill preheats. When your grill is hot and ready, place your chicken on the grill and DO NOT SHUT THE LID. Leave the chicken alone for a few minutes, turn to either a 10 or 2 position, and THEN close the grill. I love having grilled chicken with salad, sides, in a wrap, salad, etc. What do you pair your chicken with? Say CHICKEN in the comments and I’ll share the recipe with you! . . . #grilledchicken #grillingtips #chickenrecipe #easyrecipes
You need an EASY chicken marinade! In a zippy bag You need an EASY chicken marinade! In a zippy bag, add in some chicken chunks… Glug in some Worcestershire sauce and bottled Italian dressing.

This is a quick meal prep idea when you’re pressed for time. Or, say you’re grilling up a bunch of food… add one more thing to list and make next week’s lunches a breeze!!
