Hey, y'all! I’M ashley!

Welcome!

Sweetpea Lifestyle is a go-to resource for dependable recipes that help you effortlessly entertain—you’ll learn to edit out the mess of over-complicated dinner parties

Let’s take a bagged salad mix, and make it a lit Let’s take a bagged salad mix, and make it a little bit better, and go farther! I love the salad kits from @yourtaylorfarms, but I need it to feed more than it does. So, adding extra lettuce and lots of Fall flavors is the ticket! Here’s what I added: 🥬 Extra Lettuce 🍎 Chopped Apples 🍒 Dried Fruits 🐐 Goat Cheese 🍅 Tomatoes 🧅 Pickled Vidalia Onions 🥖 Homemade Croutons And I did make a homemade dressing. I love making my own dressings, and it just comes second nature now. How do you zhuzh up your salads?!
🥳 Yes! It’s Pasta on my feed!!! I rant about 🥳 Yes! It’s Pasta on my feed!!! I rant about how I don’t like pasta. And y’all go HAM on me… 🙄 When I asked you what kinds of recipes you’d like to see… PASTA was the overwhelming answer… 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! 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. 🏡 It serves a crowd, so it’s the BEST time to call up some peeps and have them over! What is your go-to Pasta recipe that you and your family love?! Say LINK in the comments, and I’ll send you the recipe!
OCTOBER GOALS! Do you set goals?? Are you motivat OCTOBER GOALS! Do you set goals?? Are you motivated by goals?? I’m REALLY motivated by setting an intention and working toward it. For October, here is what’s on my list: 👏 Create Time Blocks for Office Hours (I need to diversify my time better…) 👏 Stick to my Content Calendar 👏 Follow Through on Home List 👏 Host One Dinner Party What’s on your goal list this month?!
Listen, y'all! I have realized I do not enjoy buyi Listen, y'all! I have realized I do not enjoy buying wasteful things... Like paper towels... So, I've started rolling my Bar Mop Cloths up onto my paper towel roll and using those! They're great for cleaning and work so well.
🍽 Hosting Essentials: Effortless Entertaining! 🍽 Hosting Essentials: Effortless Entertaining! Effortless Entertaining is an oxymoron. Anyone who has hosted anything of any size knows it’s NOT effortless. You have to do the work, but doing as much work as you can AHEAD of time is the key to success! So, here’s a little list of things you can do ahead of time: 🚽 Swish & Shine your bathrooms 🧺 Pick up and Put Away the main areas you’ll use 🍽 Set your table 🥣 Set out your serving ware, with the serving utensils 🍰 Make the dessert 🍴 Choose an easy menu 🥬 Prep as many ingredients and/or dishes as you can 🎼 Create a playlist 👗 Pick out your outfit (with the jewelry and lipstick!) 🍹 Mix up the batch cocktail If you can check these tasks off leading up to the day before your gathering… 🎩 EFFORTLESS ENTERTAINING is yours to be had!
Chicken Pot Pie! Y’all, this recipe is so delish Chicken Pot Pie! Y’all, this recipe is so delish! Learn the art of making a hearty Chicken Pot Pie, with a few cheeky cheats! Your taste buds will thank you! 🥧 Here’s the recipe: 1 stick butter - melt in the skillet 1 small onion - saute until soft in the melted butter 1 bag of frozen mixed veggies - add these in with the soft onions 1 can cream of chicken - add this into the veggies 1 can of milk - pour in with the creamy veggies Salt Pepper Thyme 2 cups shredded chicken - mix in your chicken with the creamy veggies 2 pie crusts Lay one pie crust down into your pie dish. Pour the pot pie stuffing on to the pie dough. Then, take the other pie crust, and peel pieces off and “puzzle” them on top. Brush with cream or egg and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350* until golden brown and bubbly on top! Mine took around 25-30 minutes, but watch carefully! Okay! Tag the third person who comes up, and they have to make it for you!
Super SIMPLE Steak Salad! When you’re hosting, Super SIMPLE Steak Salad! When you’re hosting, you want to feel 1000% comfortable, and READY to welcome your people around your table. If you are anxious the people you’ve invited will pick up on it and Awkward City starts creeping around.. Instead! Fully prep your salad, grill while you’ve got the drink going, and serve this family style. What makes you nervous or anxious about hosting?! I’d love to know!
🥩🥗Simple Steak Salad! This is how you do it 🥩🥗Simple Steak Salad! This is how you do it! You lay down a box of @gothamgreens lettuce on a giant platter while your big boy steak is grilling and chilling. Add in some tomatoes, goat cheese, crispy onions, cucumbers, or whatever your heart desires on your salad! Then, drizzle over the Creamy Balsamic Dressing… and Dinner is SERVED! If you want to step up your hosting game, this is how! Creating delicious meals that make your people happy is what it’s all about. Not the table setting, although that’s important! Not the decorations that take up space in your home… Definitely not anything over the top. From the moment your people walk through your door, you want them to feel welcome, at ease, and ready to engage in conversation! Having your menu be simple is the secret sauce to making ⬆️THAT⬆️ happen! Want this show-stopping Simple Steak Salad?! Say “LINK” in the comments, and I’ll share the recipe with you!
“Homemade” Baked Beans! Who else loves themse “Homemade” Baked Beans! Who else loves themselves some semi-homemade baked beans?? You’lll take a couple of cans of your favorite baked beans and add the following: 2 TBS Yellow Mustard 3 TBS Brown Sugar 2 TBS Dried Onions (They might be under the name “Minced onions”) If you have a tablespoon of molasses, add that in too! If you wanted a smokey flavor, add in some shakes of McCormick’s Smokehouse Maple Seasoning. Could you add bacon? Sure!! Go for it! You’ll bake this in a 350* oven for about 30+ minutes. You could also dump it in a slow cooker and let it rip for a few hours!
