Hey, Y’all!

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!

If I haven't met you, I'm Ashley! ⁣⁣⁣
Many years ago, I created Sweetpea Lifestyle as a way of sharing simple entertaining tips and recipes I had made for friends.⁣⁣⁣
⁣
Sweetpea Lifestyle is a go-to resource for easy recipes to help you effortlessly entertain -- you’ll learn to edit out the mess of over-complicated dinner parties. ⁣⁣
⁣
🌟⁣⁣As humans, we crave connection with people. ⁣⁣
⁣
We crave a tribe of people who are OUR PEOPLE! 💃🏼🕺🏼⁣
⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣I’m here for you, friend! ⁣
⁣
⁣⁣I’m here to guide you to opening your doors, letting people in, and cultivating that tribe you crave in your life — and it’s all about *good* food that WILL gather people around your table! 🎉⁣ (Once it’s safe safe. You can do this outside, socially distant too!)⁣
⁣
⁣🔽 Tell me! How are you cultivating your tribe this summer? ⁣⁣⁣
⁣

Because I’m feeling all kinds of *fresh* today…⁣
⁣
It’s National Picnic Month, which means you’re going to need copious amounts of Pimento Cheese. 🥂⁣
⁣
I am very, very particular about my recipe. 💁🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
You’ve got to hand grate your cheese, there is no time for the pre-shredded business in this deliciously creamy spread. 🧀⁣
⁣
You must use @dukes_mayonnaise. You can order it. Shipping is an actual thing.⁣
⁣
You must use @mtolivepickles roasted red peppers, that you then dice with a knife. 🌶⁣
⁣
Lovingly mix the pimento cheese together. I don’t want to see any quick flipping and flopping business… 🥣⁣
⁣
And, let this goodness sit in the fridge for at least an hour+ before you go spreading it on crackers or a slice of white bread. 🍞⁣

Cheers to another #fridayintroductions! 🥂

If you’re new, welcome!! Hi! I’m Ashley! The Sweetpea behind Sweetpea Lifestyle, the hostess with the mostest who is ringing in the new southern belle with simple recipes that use cheeky time smart hacks to help you effortlessly gather your people around the table!

Here are some facts about me:

1️⃣ I’m an #enneagram3 and I could chat all day long about the #enneagram. LOVE IT. 📆

2️⃣ I watch an episode (or more…) of Friends every day — it’s my not-guilty-pleasure. 🔑

3️⃣ I am the southern belle who cannot bake a cake to save her life. Biscuits, pies, all good to go. But, ask me to bake a cake and I’ll pick one up from the bakery! 🎂

4️⃣ I don’t drink coffee, but you will often find me with a Starbucks cup in hand… It’s chai or English breakfast tea with almond milk, steeped to a steamy 132˚ F. ☕️

5️⃣ Wine with friends is always better! 🍷

So, here’s a question for you, if you had a free Saturday and you could do absolutely anything, what would you do?

🔽 Tell me in the comments below!

Me, I’d spend my morning with friends at the spa, and then host a fabulous dinner party with my nearest and dearest and raise a glass to freedom. 💕

Shrimp Salad! Y’all! I cannot tell you how unb

Shrimp Salad!

Y’all! I cannot tell you how unbelievably amazing this shrimp salad is!

For June’s issue of @bonappetitmag they spent some time on Juneteenth recipes. #swoonworthy

This salad recipe was one of them, and as soon as I turned the page to see it, I knew I had to make it!

First, let’s talk about Omar Tate, the creator of this appetizer who’s the chef-owner of @honeysuckle_projects, a pop-up dinner series. “Blackness in Food and Art — Love for culture and truth are the hallmarks of the dining experience at Honeysuckle.” If I lived anywhere near his pop-up dinners, I would be around that table. 🥰

Since it’s COVID, and when I made this I didn’t have everything necessary I adapted the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:
🍤 1 lb. poached shrimp, diced (I used leftover cocktail shrimp from the night before)
🧂 2 tsp. Morton kosher salt 🥛 3 Tbsp. sour cream 🥛 2 Tbsp. cream cheese, room temperature 🧅 ¼ cup finely green onions 🍋 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest 🍋 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
🧂 2 tsp Smokehouse Maple Seasoning 
Mix all the ingredients together EXCEPT the shrimp. Let this sauce hang out for a good few hours, overnight if possible. Then, an hour before serving, combine with the diced cocktail shrimp, and serve on butter crackers.

Do yourself a favor and make this salad. If you’re able, plop some into individual containers and socially distance with some people who you can have an open dialogue with. Ask the hard questions you’re afraid to ask, and talk about it.

Weld your mouth together with this recipe for Quic

Weld your mouth together with this recipe for Quick & Easy Shrimp & Grits! 🥰🥰

Grits are a religion here in the south, and if you ask me about them, I will open my mouth and tell you the history, the techniques people use, and how most get it wrong. 🙏🏼

When I would teach people how to make grits they were always floored when I said “quick 5 minute cooking grits should take 20+ minutes to cook. Grits are never quick!” 😱

If your grits don’t feel smooth and silky, creamy and delicious when you eat them, they’re not cooked long enough. Each grain has to absorb the liquid (I prefer a milk + water combo!), and that takes time and TLC of stirring, stirring, stirring.🥄

Now, these little shrimpies are seasoned with Smokehouse Maple Seasoning. It’s the smoky, sweet all purpose seasoning you need in your spice cabinet. Just sear these up in some butter, and ladle over your bowl of steaming grits! 🤤🍤🥣

It’s a nod to tradition, without being a traditional shrimp and grits at all!

Have you ever tried making shrimp and grits at home??

Who needs some comfort food?! 💃🕺⁣
⁣
This recipe for Homemade Sloppy Joe Sandwiches is quite addictive…🤤⁣
⁣
The evening mid-week meal can fill you with dread, even after a harried week at home!⁣
⁣
Pack a massive punch of flavor with homemade sloppy joe sauce. 👊⁣
⁣
Having a go-to staple like sloppy joe sauced ground beef, you’re ready for dinner in under 10 minutes. ⏲⁣
⁣
I promise it’s not like the canned stuff… As a child, I would get so excited when MBB would pull out the can of Manwich.⁣
⁣
As an adult, I tried it, and it’s disgusting, y’all! ((Does that happen to you?! You try things you remember fondly from childhood, and realize they’re just not that great?!))⁣
⁣
One pro-tip, make up a big batch of sauce and use it on several recipes throughout the week. ⁣
⁣
What is your go-to comfort food?!⁣
