I know how incredibly demanding recipe R&D , social media maintenance, etc. is, and coupled with parenting, it’s no wonder you’re taking a break. My kids are almost 30 years old, and if I had to push rewind, and had the good sense to do what you’re doing now in choosing your family, I would.
Not that you need anyone to affirm your choice, but anyone who is a super fan of you fully understands! BTW, my husband and I refer to you as “our girl Ashley” every time we discuss your cookbooks and recipes😍
Dear Ashley. I will miss you but look forward to when you do return. Your books are my favorites and your substack is my go to for recipes. Enjoy your family. ❤️
Thank you Ashley! Sounds like you're a very smart woman! You must take good care of yourself to take good care of your family, loved ones! Thank you for the wonderful recipes and your experiences! <3 Susan
We’re still enjoying all the wonderful recipes. Some are our even “go to” now. Health and family are always the most important. Take as much time as you need all of your faithful followers will still be here for when you return. Enjoy the break.
Dear Ashley, I am very much in support of you taking this time for yourself and your family. I have appreciated immensely your blogs and books and wonderful recipes and inspiration. But I absolutely understand that it is important to not ignore the signs and take a step back when necessary. You are making the right decision and I hope you have a sense of peace in knowing that. We will be here if/when you decide to pivot and come back. I am so happy to read the beautiful and positive comments so far from this community and honestly, I expected nothing less. And remember, you can still Rise and Shine in whatever environment you choose. Home is the most basic and foundational building block for your happy environment right now. Be well!
Thanks for the update. My kids are grown and gone and I'm retired but I still have trouble getting to all that needs to be done all the time. Self care IS health care. Take care of yourself and we will see you back when you are able to once again enjoy the process. Again, thanks for all you have given us!
Good to hear from you and know that you’re not alone in trying to parent plus everything else on top and do it so well. When I had my daughter- my mantra if she was feed/ clothed/ not in harm’s way- “ITS GOOD ENOUGH”. It helped me let go of trying to be a super mom. I appreciate your honesty and sharing your life with us. Take all the time you need. Please take good care of yourself so you can care for them. See you in due time. ❤️🤗
Dear Ashley, I have followed you since I first heard about your first book, I love your recipes, love for cooking and especially love for making healthy taste delicious. Please take care of yourself and your family, you are very precious and I’m sending you lots of love ❤️ xxx
Thank you and take care, sounds like a wise decision. I keep using your recipes. You have already done enough for us to keep going, making delicious plantbased meals.
As someone who only recently discovered your recipes via your two wonderful books and a sympathetic (I have dealt with MS and autoimmune disease for many decades now) view of your health journey, I wish you health and happiness. Young children are demanding. As a father of grown twin girls I remember those days. Please know you are appreciated for what you have already shared with us (stupendously wonderful recipes that are healthy). If life permits, we look forward to the next chapter, but taking care of yourself and your family is first!
Hi Ashley. Will your beautiful beet curry recipe become free? I have been subscriber but now I cannot access it. I love this recipe. Please may I have the recipe. Thank you.
