👩‍🍳 Easy Recipes that Gather People
🥰 Making Life Simple and Tasty
🎀 Ringing in the NEW Southern Belle
Make a little Cava bowl at home! I air fried some Make a little Cava bowl at home! I air fried some chicken skewers, and added them to a shallow bowl for an easy rice bowl dinner. The lemony-garlic sour cream sauce was something scrumptious!! RECIPE: 1 cup Sour Cream 1 garlic clove, grated with a microplane 1 lemon, zested and juiced 8 grinds of your pepper mill Sprinkle of salt Mix all of that together, and serve with your chicken or pita crisps! Because it has raw garlic in the recipe, toss this sauce if you won’t finish it all. Or, if you’re wanting to make it ahead of time and save it, use half a teaspoon of garlic powder. What do y’all put on your Cava bowls?? Say CHICKEN for the chicken skewers! . . . #chickenrecipe #summerrecipes #chickenbowl #ricebowl #cavabowl #makeitathome

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
