Meet Ashley
Hi, I’m Ashley! The mom behind the laptop logging in under the Freshly Zesty food blog. My love for cooking started with my daughter’s and being able to cook for them. Teaching them to try new flavors and ALSO their vegetables has since grown into this online place where I can share some of my favorite new and a lot of my family’s tried and true oldies recipes!
As a mama, the kitchen has become more than a place to cook – it’s where I make memories with my kids, from everyday meals to the ones we have to throw together after ball practice. It’ll always be my favorite place in the house.
In 2024, I started my food blog, Freshly Zesty, as a creative outlet and a way to share my love for simple, flavorful food made with fresh ingredients. What began as a place to jot down my favorite recipes quickly turned into so much more — a space where I could connect with others who, like me, believe that good food brings people together. I’ve always loved being in the kitchen, but after becoming a mom to my two girls, cooking went from being my escape to our special time together. Now, whether we’re baking something sweet, cooking a quick weeknight dinner, or picking fresh produce from the garden, the kitchen is where we make memories, laugh a lot, and share our love for food. Freshly Zesty is all about fresh and flavorful recipes that are approachable, delicious, and made for real life. I hope to inspire you to cook more, try new things, and find joy in the little moments — because the best meals are the ones shared with the people you love. Thank you so much for being here, whether you’re a new follower or have been supporting me from the beginning. It truly means the world!
XO,
Ashley
