A little cascading gallery of plates. Plates I’ A little cascading gallery of plates. Plates I’ve collected over the years and dreamed of being on the wall. Some are new to me; others have been passed down. Plates that have served people a delicious meal and heard even better conversations. Little plates that came from a player from the 30s. Thrifted and gifted from friends and family. All beaming back, with a little hint of pride. Yes, these are *just* plates. For me, though, they symbolize a little four-year-old girl’s dream of hosting her own parties. . . . . #thriftedfinds #cottagecore #gallerywall #platewall
Potato Latkes! The crispy crunch on a *good* pot Potato Latkes! The crispy crunch on a *good* potato latke is unforgettable! When you dip them into apple sauce and sour cream, it becomes an instant core memory you’ll want to experience over and over. If you’ve never tried making latkes, they may seem intimidating. But, y’all, they’re incredibly easy to make. Here are a few secrets to getting perfectly crisp yet fluffy latkes: ✅ Squeeze your shredded potatoes in a kitchen towel, open the towel and “fluff” the potatoes, then squeeze again making sure they are as dry as possible. ✅ Pan fry the latkes at a lower temperature, for a longer time. Ensuring the middle cooks through, and every outside edge is perfectly crisp. ✅ While apple sauce and sour cream are traditional, @flybyjing Zhong Sauce is the *best* dipper! Need the recipe?! Say LATKE in the comments! Tell me, how do you eat your latkes?! . . . #latkerecipe #homemadelatkes #potatopancakes #hanukkah2024
UNPOPULAR OPINION: I do not like to travel. I wo UNPOPULAR OPINION: I do not like to travel. I would rather be home in my own little hermit crab shell of a world. Part of the annoyance of traveling is I don’t pack well. I’m an “Oh, we’re leaving? Let me shove some things in a bag and run out the door” kind of girl…. Totally not me. I’m usually Boy Scout Prepared. ✌️ But! I have been “moving locations” more frequently, and I found a duffle that is incredible! You zip your hanging clothes in, zip up the sides, and stuff it full. My 10-day trip recently was with this bag + my “mobile office! I flipping LOVE when I have as minimal bags as possible. Say DUFFLE in the comments for a direct link ((and a link to the packing list that is in my bio!)) It’s making moving locations a little easier! I can maybe hear “vacation” bubbling in my mind!! . . . #packingtips #lifehacks #amazonfinds #amazonaffiliate
🐰🎄Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit! Happy DECEMBER F 🐰🎄Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit! Happy DECEMBER First! Y’all. I blinked, and November was gone. Can you believe it?! December… it’s here. Hey, Y’all! I’m Ashley! The 🌸Sweetpea behind Sweetpea.🌸 Growing up, I spent hours upon hours in my grandmother’s walk-in pantry, hosting tea parties for my dolls. I would host my own show where I showed them how to make all the food we would have, pour the tea, set the table, etc. ((5 year old Sweetpea would be VERY proud of 37 year old Sweetpea.)) Here are 4️⃣ things you should know about me! I installed some motion sensor lights in my closet, and I’m loving it. 🤓 I’m a real Scrooge. I added a Christmas-y quilt to my bedroom, and I'm thinking that's it for the decorating, y'all. 😬 My life is driven by setting (and achieving!) goals, but this is the first year in a while they’ve gone out the door… and I’m not feeling guilty. Well, I keep telling myself I’m not guilty… 🥰 I can’t believe I write and create content for a living! 🤩 What about you?? What goals do you have this month?? Tell me in the comments below! . . . #decembercontent #december2024 #holidayseason
Turn your Rhodes Frozen Dinner Rolls into Garlic H Turn your Rhodes Frozen Dinner Rolls into Garlic Herb Butter Rolls with a swipe! Melt some butter in a small saucepan, and add a few minced garlic cloves. Add in a teaspoon of chopped rosemary… Swipe over the top, and that’s it!! SO EASY, y’all!
If you ever wondered if I always cooked, well… Y If you ever wondered if I always cooked, well… Yes! Here I am, all 17 months old, pulling bread for our Thanksgiving Dressing. I’ll do the same thing on Thursday morning as I have for the last 30-something Thanksgiving Thursdays. It’s tradition. 😬 I’m really not big on tradition. The expectations that come with traditions seem to always be a set up for disappointment… 🫖 I’m over traditions. A dear friend and I were lounging on the couch one time, discussing traditions, and how we’re really just NOT a fan. 🫢 And how, as we get older, traditions make us feel suffocated. 🫢 Stuck. 🫢 Like we have to do everything because someone somewhere said we had to do these things… If you’ve read my bio, you’ve heard me say, “I’m the hostess with the mostest ringing in the new southern belle!” This NEW Southern Belle is D-O-N-E with traditions.🙌 Speaking only for me, my traditions have crumbled in the last 10+ years. It’s incredibly freeing to realize I don’t need to be burdened by NOT doing/having traditions. And it’s okay to feel sad about it while relishing that freedom. While you don’t need permission, consider this your permission to do the unexpected, the untraditional this holiday season. Anything you want to share with the class that you're letting go?! . . . #holidayseason #simpleideas #hostingessentials
I love keeping frozen meatballs on hand for moment I love keeping frozen meatballs on hand for moments like this. ((“…Some people wait a lifetime! For a moment like this..!”)) These baked meatballs have a secret ingredient to keep them *moist* and a secret strategy to get them crispy! Ready for the recipe!? Say MEATBALL in the comments, and I’ll share the recipe with you! . . . #easyrecipes #meatballrecipe #mealprep
As an Appalachian Auntie, you need EASY recipes th As an Appalachian Auntie, you need EASY recipes that come together in a jiffy! This Chili Recipe is just that! You use a package of Chili-O! A modern day staple I grew up with! For me, my chili needs a few types of beans (I love black beans, kidney, and chick peas!). You need tomatoes. Ground beef (This works with ground turkey!). And a little half hour simmer. Pro Tip: Make this the day before you really want to serve this! While this chili is a quick dinner idea, it’s even better the following day. So, if you’re wanting to host a Chili Dinner, make it the day before, then plop it into your slow cooker. Let it cook 4 hours and serve! If you’re my grandmother, you’ll serve this chili over rice with cole slaw. If you’re my mother, you’ll serve this chili with cornbread. If you’re me, you’ll serve this chili with cornbread, cheese, and sour cream. If you’re Reese Witherspoon, you bake this chili with cornbread mix on top in a skillet! Choose your own adventure! Want this more than easy recipe?! Say CHILI in the comments, and I’ll share it with you! . . . #easychilirecipe #chilirecipe #simplecooking #appalachiancooking
