About AB

Welcome! 

My name is Ashley, and I am a writer, English teacher, and mother living in Florida. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm likely walking my dogs, having a work-in on my yoga mat, or in the kitchen preparing my next snack. 

My husband coined me the Arrogant Baker, because when I haven't made the baked good I'm about to try, then I fear that it won't be as good as if I had. This is mostly because I strongly dislike fake food, and unfortunately, lots of desserts have lots of fake stuff in them. Basically, I avoid consuming food that isn't food or calories that aren't seriously worth it. For instance, if I'm going to eat sugar, it had better be from the best caramels I've ever had, not because I took gummy vitamins. 

Besides sharing some of my recipes here, I like to write about... whatever I like to write about, which includes children's literature, grownup literature, television things, and yoga. (That's because before I started teaching English, I was a yoga instructor and became a RYT200 when I was finishing up my degree.)

Writing Elsewhere

You can see some of my writing at Good Fronds, where I write about yoga and wellness. 

I also get to interview food entrepreneurs for Beyondish; here's my last culture article. 

And check out my parenting essay at Insider, where I share my son's Santa confrontation and how I handled it.

I also write content, primarily health and financial topics, and enjoy receiving new assignments to research.
