The Mediterranean Diet has been widely acknowledged as the healthiest diet, because it is largely plant-based and includes loads of healthy fats. It can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, increase your lifespan, and promote healthy aging.

Here are some tips on adding some of the Mediterranean diet in yo life!
• Cut back on red meat 🥩 🙅🏽‍♀️ (only for special occasions)
• Swap out refined sugars for natural ones (dates/honey/maple syrup are my go-to’s)
• Add more fruits and veggies to your meals
• Eat dairy and eggs in moderation
• Consume wild-caught and sustainable fish a few times a week
• Clean and healthy fats in the form of oils and nuts (olive and avocado oils, almonds and walnuts, etc)
• Boost flavor with herbs and spices over salt
• Exercise regularly

This diet is super satiating (because clean protein, healthy fats and whole grains), and boosts your energy like you wouldn’t believe! Give it a try!!!

Christmas Brunch has become a sort of holiday tradition over the years, and this is the last holiday before this lil’ family we’ve created meets our long-awaited plus one 👼🏽👩🏾‍🍼.

After the presents are opened, a cocktail (or virgin cocoa this year), and gratitude is given to the most high for all of our blessings, and an appropriate Christmas movie is on, I get to work in the kitchen!

This year’s brunch - homemade Hot Cacao with whipped cream, a Veggie/Herb Omelet with organic tomatoes, onion, mozzarella, garlic, as well as zucchini and herbs from the garden, and for the main feature, buttery and slightly sweet Honey Lemon Waffles, made with lemon zest and topped with house-made Blueberry Syrup & whip.

May your holiday be spent with loved ones, with reflection on the traditions you want to establish and the reason for the season - to give and love on your tribe!

/T͟Hē,T͟Hə/ˈhärvəst/

verb
1. The time when you reap what you sow.
2. To harvest something means that you pick or gather it.

noun
1. The time of year when crops are ripe and ready to be gathered.
2. A plant-based social experience for those with open minds and curious palettes.

This year marks the 7th Annual Harvest, and we’re gathering to celebrate the culmination of the outgoing year, reflect on the meaning of ‘abundance’ & acknowledge life's many blessings.

If you’d like to join, there are two ticket options: 1) Drive Thru for pre-orders of baked sweet breads & body butters, 2) The Harvest Experience, to enjoy the social affair of the season and break bread with ash & new friends that will feel like family.

Allow me to reintroduce myself…

I’m Ash, a Bay-native rooted in LA, committed to promoting health and wellness through plant-based offerings for skin + soul-care.

I am all the about plants, and am a resource for veg lifestyle coaching, gardening, recipes, and detoxifying your life. I also offer a line of super natural skin/household products ranging from my signature body butters to sage wands and candles.

What sets my products apart? A hard pass on harmful chemicals/ingredients in my blends, periodt! Rather, each ingredient is carefully chosen to promote healing inside and out, while smelling amazing!

If you’re new here, stay a while and peruse my site (link in bio). And if we’ve been rockin’, a special thx for joining me along this journey. 🫶🏽🌱☺️

Cheers to your health!!!

Cooked up somethin’ new…

Expen$ive Sh*t limited release candles.

Bees/coconut wax combined with a proprietary blend of essential oils & activated charcoal help transform your home into a luxury spa.

I’m not gonna lie, I miss dessert sometimes. Been doin’ this sugafree lifestyle for a month and these No-Bake Energy Bites have been everything! Naturally sweet, nutrient dense, energy givin’!

With just four all-natural, vegan ingredients, these bites always satisfy the occasional sugar craving.

Here’s the recipe:

•1/2 cup raw pecans
•1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
•4 medijool dates
•1/8 cup almond butter
(optional - 1/2 tsp cacao powder or 2 tbsp cacao nibs)

Instructions - Mix all ingredients in a food processor. It should be grainy, but not chunky. Spoon into your palm and roll into balls. No baking or refrigeration needed. Store at room-temp in an airtight container for up to 5 days. *This recipe makes 8-12 bites.

If you give the recipe a try, I would love to hear how you like it!

As if life isn’t hard enough, I decided to give up sugar recently. I’m two weeks in and have successfully maintained my resolve in the most tempting of circumstances, the LA County Fair, boba spots & I even passed on my chef frens amazing sweet potato waffles (s/o ). I’ve also traded agave, maple syrup, & other high calorie sweeteners for monk fruit or seasonal fruits when rare cravings hit.

Thinking of making a switch? Kicking sugar is amazing for increased energy, reducing inflammation, aiding in liver health & reducing the risk of cancer.

As I explore new suga free recipes, I’ll share some favs! In the meanwhile, I’m takin this one day at a time, & enjoying the challenge.

My vision wasn’t too clear in 2020 when I officially launched my ashcooks body butters, but it’s clear now…

Starting off the New Year with the best of intentions, a full belly, and gratitude on my lips.

I skipped the Black Eyed Peas and opted for Shrimp n’ Grits instead… and it was as amazing as it looks! 🤤Creamy cheesy grits topped with creole spiced shrimp and vegan sausage - Sooo good!

Hopefully my southern ancestors forgive me & my 2022 goes smoothly🤣

This December makes one whole year since I launched my ashcooks product line, and what a ride it’s been! The transition from hostess with the mostest to saleswoman, administrative assistant, web developer, apothecary & vendor wasn’t an easy or comfortable one, but I GREW. I LEARNED. And I’m proud of myself. 😁 🥇

Moreover, I want to thank YOU for joining me along this journey, for your support and belief in not only my products/brand, but in me as a person. In the weeks that I question why I chose to work two jobs & 55 hour work weeks, y’all are what keeps me going!

So, cheers to you and I look forward to seeing more of you, but after the pandemic calms down a bit.

❤️ ✌🏽 🌱
