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

Prosecco Vinaigrette! Y’all, this is my absolut Prosecco Vinaigrette! Y’all, this is my absolute go-to salad dressing. I eat a lot of salads, but I like to make my own dressing. This one is a super simple acidic, bright dressing that makes everything better! 🧅 Shallots 🧄 Garlic 🫒 Olive Oil Herbs, salt, and pepper… and LOTS of Parmesan Cheese! Be sure to marinate your tomatoes and cucumbers in the dressing while you're snapping your lettuce into the bowl. It’s an extra step that makes a mighty big difference! What’s your go-to dressing recipe?! . . . #sweetpealifestyle #foodgawker #chefsroll #tastespotting #foodwinewomen #bhgfood #todayfood #sweetmagazine #eatingfortheinsta #nytfood #thekitchn #feedyoursoull #chefsofinstagram #gourmetartistry #theartofplating #huffposttaste #bonappetitmag #southernliving #gardenandgun #foodnetwork #eatingnyc #foodblogfeed #beautifulcuisines #noleftovers #cookniche #forkfeed #culinaryart #noBSfood #bestfoodworld #howisummer
🥬🥩 Simple Steak Salad! This is how you do i 🥬🥩 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! Save this to make later! The recipe is up on the blog, with a 🔗 in my prof! . . . #sweetpealifestyle #foodgawker #chefsroll #tastespotting #foodwinewomen #bhgfood #todayfood #sweetmagazine #eatingfortheinsta #nytfood #thekitchn #feedyoursoull #chefsofinstagram #gourmetartistry #theartofplating #huffposttaste #bonappetitmag #southernliving #gardenandgun #foodnetwork #eatingnyc #foodblogfeed #beautifulcuisines #noleftovers #cookniche #forkfeed #culinaryart #noBSfood #bestfoodworld #howisummer
Pizza Roll Casserole! Y'all should know I love me Pizza Roll Casserole! Y'all should know I love me some pizza rolls... But, let's turn this snack into a delicious main dish! Super versatile, top it however you like! . . . #sweetpealifestyle #marthafood #bhgfood #gardenandgun #southernliving #bonappetitmag #thekitchn #foodwinewomen #yahoofood #myopenkitchen #epicurious #tastespotting #foodgawker #inmykitchen #beautifulcuisines #todayfood #sosavory #makeitdelicious #foodblogfeed #buzzfeast #eattheworld #gatheringslikethese #onthetable #lifeandthyme #foodandwine #foods4thought #tastingtable
Chopping veggies can take up valuable dinner prep Chopping veggies can take up valuable dinner prep time. Save time by prepping your ingredients ahead of time 🌽🥕🥦 This Chopped Salad is something my darling grandmother always kept in her fridge -- now I do the same, and it's the perfect way to "drum up" a quick desk lunch, or yummy dinner side dish! . . . #timesavingtips #mealprep #easydinner
Dumpling Sauce!! Y’all, thanks to @JenCurley fo Dumpling Sauce!! Y’all, thanks to @JenCurley for the inspiration… This sauce is good on everything! Tossed with noodles, dumplings dipped into, sushi, you name it… it dunks. Green onions, fresh garlic, and fresh ginger are swirled together with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and my new favorite ingredient: black vinegar! This sauce has the umami 🥊 you want when you’re dipping all the things into it. *If* you end up with leftover sauce, boil some ramen noodles and toss it together… Perfect evening meal! What is your favorite sauce for dipping Asian dumplings into?! ⬇️ Tell me in the comments below! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Want the recipe?! Ask in the comments and I’ll zip it over to your DMs! . . . #dumplingsauce #dumplings #easyrecipes
🦐 SHRIMP LOUIE! 🥗 Y’all, this salad is wo 🦐 SHRIMP LOUIE! 🥗 Y’all, this salad is worth every single flavor-filled step! This went semi-viral on TikTok last year, and in the video, I talk about what an easy salad this is to make on a hot summer day when you just don’t want to cook. But, how each component needs to be well-seasoned and loved! That means, taking some extra time to marinate your onions and tomatoes. 🍅🧅🍅🧅🍅🧅 Make your own Louie Dressing (similar to thousand island, but not sweet! It’s got a punch!) Lay it all out onto a big platter, in an eye-catching way! ✨Magical✨ Meatime Tip: Dinner Parties don’t have to be complicated. They can be as simple as serving this salad with a glass of wine. Making the platter look really nice makes this feel like a super fancy dinner idea! What do you like to make when it’s super hot out and you don’t want to cook?! ⬇️ Tell me in the comments below! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Want the recipe?! Ask in the comments and I’ll zip it over to your DMs! . . . #sweetpealifestyle #foodgawker #chefsroll #tastespotting #foodwinewomen #bhgfood #todayfood #sweetmagazine #eatingfortheinsta #nytfood #thekitchn #feedyoursoull #chefsofinstagram #gourmetartistry #theartofplating #huffposttaste #bonappetitmag #southernliving #gardenandgun #foodnetwork #eatingnyc #foodblogfeed #beautifulcuisines #noleftovers #cookniche #forkfeed #culinaryart #noBSfood #bestfoodworld #howisummer
Air-Fried FROZEN Dumplings! You can find me eatin Air-Fried FROZEN Dumplings!

“Hey, Ashley! I need to host a potluck dinner pa “Hey, Ashley! I need to host a potluck dinner party! What can I make that is easy for a potluck?” Y’all! I get asked questions like this ALL THE TIME!! I’ve shared this family favorite dinner recipe before, but let me walk you through HOW to host this super easy potluck dinner party! You’re going to host a Chalupa Party… You as the host will make the pork chalupa. It’s best if you make it a couple days ahead of time! <<< Which is why it’s such a great hosting recipe!! Next, you’ll ask your people to bring taco toppings. Just ask them to bring any of the following: 🧀 Cheese 🥬 Lettuce 🧅 Onions 🍅 Salsa 🥑 Guacamole 🥛 Sour Cream 🌶️ Hot Sauce 🌽 Corn Chips And any other topping you (or they!) like! When they arrive, have the bowls or dishes you’d like to use for each topping ready to be filled. I like to add a little sticky note to each dish! Layout a big board of “Plop and Eat” appetizers ((if you’re new, read the post from yesterday!)), and shake up a big batch of tart margaritas! You can even ask your friends to bring these items!! And that’s it!! We hosted this same party last week, and I ordered these compostable BOWLS… we’ve actually never served chalupa in a bowl, but it was so easy and the perfect vessel! Plus, clean-up was a breeze! Who’s ready to host a Chalupa Party?! . . . #sweetpealifestyle #marthafood #bhgfood #gardenandgun #southernliving #bonappetitmag #thekitchn #foodwinewomen #yahoofood #myopenkitchen #epicurious #tastespotting #foodgawker #inmykitchen #beautifulcuisines #todayfood #sosavory #makeitdelicious #foodblogfeed #buzzfeast #eattheworld #gatheringslikethese #onthetable #lifeandthyme #foodandwine #foods4thought #tastingtable
Each morning I answer three questions, after writi Each morning I answer three questions, after writing for 20 minutes. I don’t follow Julia Cameron’s #morningpages like she suggests… But, I’ve created my own system that helps set my day up for success when I use it! 1. What are you grateful for? 2. What are you letting go of? 3. What are you focusing on? Tell me how you start your day! . . . #contentcreator #smallbusiness #morningroutine #morningmotivation
