About Me

Hello there.  I’m Ashley

…the girl in the kitchen.

Hello there.  I’m Ashley

…the girl in the kitchen.

Interestingly enough,

I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking.
In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.  I don’t know how or when, but somewhere along the line, that changed.  Look at me—I’m writing a food blog.  Craziness.

In the Fall of 2015, the wildest thing EVER happened: I published a cookbook, 30 Easy Meals for Reluctant Cooks.  You can find out more details here or go here to order your copy.  Squeeeee!

So here’s the deal.  I lucked out and got to marry my best friend.  Sometimes I can’t believe my good fortune in snagging this guy.  Between us, we made the cutest little Doodlebug, who is our absolute world.  I’ve got a full-time work gig that I love.  A fabulous family.  Great friends.  I am blessed.

But balancing that is difficult.  Sometimes impossible.  I daydream about coming home to a spotless house cleaned by a professional cleaning service, with steaming hot meals prepared by my own personal chef.  But since that’s not going to happen, and because I want my son to grow up healthy and nourished by good, wholesome food, I’ve learned to cook.  More surprising, I discovered that I actually enjoy it.

I also discovered that it doesn’t have to be stressful or time-consuming to create meals that are not only good for you, but actually taste good.

I don’t have a SLR camera like many of the super food bloggers out there.  Even if I did, I wouldn’t know how to use it.  I barely know what to do with the point and shoot I have.

As of June 2012, I use a Nikon D3100 and a 50mm lens.  I still don’t know how to use it.

I am addicted to tortilla chips.

I like to wear a ton of dangly bracelets.  Someone once told me it makes you look thinner.  I figure it’s worth a try.

I’m crazy about football.  Craaaaazy.  I’m not a pleasant person to be around when my team is losing.

I like red wine and chocolate.  They are proven health foods, you know.

And I’m living proof that anyone–absolutely anyone–can be successful in the kitchen.

This Vintage Cake combines two layers of white cake, with a surprise brownie layer soaked in a decadent chocolate sauce. And the cream cheese frosting takes it right over the top!
