You're recipes really are the best - but it was your writing that really resonated with me. I especially remember a post about making your own chocolate cereal - which I've still yet to try 😅 - and you told us that there would someday be a time when the children got themselves their own breakfast, and let you sleep in a little bit, or maybe enjoy your coffee. And I sighed a big sigh, because I knew it was true, but my babies were so little, and it was such a long ways away - but just maybe it wasn't as far away as it was feeling in the moment. So much of what you shared bolstered me and opened my eyes to joy. I know that so much of who I have become has been encouraged by your words and stories. Thank you so much. ❤️
Karen, you're making me cry onto my computer. I'm so glad this blog made us friends. So many gifts have come from me sharing recipes on the internet and you are among my favorite of those gifts. Also, I vaguely remember that and now those babes are practically adults. How does that happen?!
I stumbled upon your first book the year it was released and found so much solace in NWS the blog. Each of your books is better than last, and I’ve enjoyed every recipe I’ve made of yours. I think you are the most intuitive cook I’ve ever followed. All this to say- thanks for sharing your life with us! Looking forward to more. X
Thank you for these kind and generous words. They mean so much to me. It really is such a joy and delight to get to share my delight with all of you. I hope I get to continue to do it for a very long time.
I love that your recipes and words finding new life and connecting with people again. And I look forward to reading your reflections on revisiting your posts from the past two decades!
Feels like a perfect time to reflect on the writings as they've followed our babies all throughout their lives and now we're preparing to launch them. Excuse me while I go cry for a bit and give them a very obnoxious squeeeeeeze.
I've been following you since the late '00s dear Ashley. I loved your writing and photography, not to mention your recipes. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.
Great blog! I enjoyed reading it. The way you explained everything in such simple and clear words made it easy to follow. Sometimes blogs can get too technical or confusing, but this one was straight to the point and very helpful.
Your writing style is also very engaging. It kept me interested from start to finish, and I didn’t feel lost at any point. It’s always nice when a blog teaches you something without making it feel too heavy or complicated.
I’m looking forward to reading more from you. If all your blogs are like this, I’m sure they’ll help a lot of people. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for following! It's a gift and an honor I don't take lightly. So crazy that I've been at this for so long!
Sometimes looking back at what we wrote is like one self taking care of another. I'm grateful for your work. xo Lorene
It feels that way and it is so lovely to show myself love and grace from this place, where I now stand.
Always grateful for your writing and recipes you put out in the world in any season and for any reason. It is good blessed work. <3
Thank you so much, Jennifer. That means the world to me. :)
