Hey, y'all! I’M ashley!

Welcome!

Many years ago, I created Sweetpea Lifestyle as a way of sharing simple recipes and entertaining tips with friends.⁣

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

3-Ingredient Asian Meatballs! This week should ma 3-Ingredient Asian Meatballs! This week should maybe be 3-Ingredient themed! But, when you combine stir fry sauce with orange marmalade… with frozen meatballs…. all baked togehther?! You get an unbelievable appetizer idea that is EASY-PEASY ready! Plus, make all this in your slow cooker, and forget about it! Who’s making these?! I also would serve these over rice with steamed vegetables, BTW! . . . #partyparty #partyfood #partygirls #partyboys #partyinspo #partydecor #partydecorations #partyinspo #dinnerpartyideas #birthdaypartyinspo #themedpartyideas #diypartyideas #partyoutfit #partyvibes #partyhairpartyallnight #partylite #partylifestyle #partycelebrations #latenightparty #partystyling
Y’all!! These fake Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart Roll Y’all!! These fake Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart Roll whatever you want to call it… Make them. Buttery cinnamon chai sugar is spread between the layers of fluffy Parkerhouse rolls… Baked to ooey-gooey perfection, and slathered with a cream cheese icing. The recipe is on the blog! Say “PLEASE” in the comments and I’ll share the recipe with you!
Smashed Baby Potatoes! Y’all, these are so cris Smashed Baby Potatoes! Y’all, these are so crispy, crunchy, DELICIOUS!!! It’s the extra swipe of melted butter and ranch at the end for me… Here’s the recipe: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Toss your baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper… enough to coat. Plop onto your half-sheet pan, and roast for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. After 15 minutes, use a glass and press them flat. Brush 2 tablespoons of melted butter with 2 teaspoons of Ranch powder on top of each potato. Put back into the oven at 425, for another 15 minutes. SO GOOD!!
🌭 Bougie Pigs in a Blanket Puff Pastry Cocktai 🌭 Bougie Pigs in a Blanket Puff Pastry Cocktail Weiners Boars Head Ham Glaze Thin 2 TBS of the ham glaze out with 1 tsp hot water. You might need more, you want it thin enough to spread with a brush. Lay out your THAWED puff pastry, and cut strips. Use your pastry brush to swipe the glaze over the strips. Roll up each Little Smokie into a strip of glazed puff pastry. Lay out on a sprayed sheet pan, with the cut side down. Brush with egg wash, and bake at 350* for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown! Serve with honey mustard! Honey Mustard: 1 TBS Dijon mustard (or plain yellow!!) 1 TBS honey 1 TBS Mayo Sprinkle of salt Mix together and enjoy!! If you want it sweeter, just drizzle some more honey in.
HOSTING ESSENTIALS: PREP AHEAD! You might think I HOSTING ESSENTIALS: PREP AHEAD! You might think I’m yelling at you… I am. 100%. But, y’all! When I say “effortless entertaining” this is how you do it! When you do as much work ahead of time… 🩷 You get to ENJOY your party. ❤️ You get to be PRESENT at your party. 🧡 You get to CULTIVATE community at your party. It’s the little tiny things you can do ahead of time that help you show up, authentically for your guests. Making them feel incredibly welcomed from the moment you open the door!
Stop using stained containers!! Y’all, we’re a Stop using stained containers!! Y’all, we’re adults. We can do this! Add some dish soap to your container. Add some water, about halfway up your container. Add a paper towel. Close it up, and give it a good shake it up, baby! Voila! You’ve got a squeaky clean container without leftover residue. I’m sure you’ve all seen this hack, but I just had to share in case you haven’t!!
Magical moments brought to you by the afternoon Dr Magical moments brought to you by the afternoon Dr. Pepper.
🥩🥗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!
Bacon Party Crackers! Here's the recipe: Club Cr Bacon Party Crackers! Here's the recipe: Club Crackers - however many you want Bacon strips - cut to fit, and enough for each cracker Brown Sugar Spice Mix - it's 2 TBS of brown sugar with 1 TBS of blackened seasoning, mix it together. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, and place a rack on top of it all. Place the bacon on top of each cracker, then sprinkle the bacon crackers with the brown sugar mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40-45 minutes, until the crackers flatten out and the bacon is cooked through and crispy! You can make these a couple of days ahead of time! Just be sure to hide them, so no one eats them before the party!
