About

Hello & Welcome to Delish!
I’m Ashley, I’m a twenty-something wife and food enthusiast. This is my blog about all things food. I love to eat, love to cook, love to read cookbooks, love to entertain, and love to talk about food. Simply put, I love delish food.

I began food blogging in November 2006. It started out as a tiny effort to share recipes with a couple friends who wanted to learn to cook. This blog is my personal blog and I think of it as my recipe binder (really – I frequently bring up the blog to cook from!). What does that mean? Its a constant work in progress!

The Food
My inspiration comes from a lot of places. I’m a born and raised Texan so I love Tex-Mex and southern food. My mom was born & raised in Taiwan and so I also love home-style Chinese food. But I really do love all food. All of the recipes on this site have been tested by me, typically more than once. Many of the recipes have been created right in my kitchen, some come from my cookbooks (some adaptations), and some are recipes I’ve found on food sites and other blogs. I always site my sources (if no source is listed, its something I cooked up on my own)! You can find a full list of my recipes by checking out my Recipe Index.

I believe in simple, whole food ingredients. You’ll occasionally find a quick fix meal appetizer involving something like crescent rolls, but these are generally not things you’ll find in our kitchen. I purchase largely organic & natural products. I’d probably be growing my own veggies if the Texas heat wasn’t so unbearable (maybe some day)! I’m learning and trying to find a balance between my love of food, the ever growing waist line, the likes & dislikes of my “meat and potatoes” husband, and my desire to live a healthier life through all natural & organic cooking.

Products & Giveaways
Occasionally, I may blog about a product. I am never paid to blog about these products. I do accept free products from companies (this is the extent to how I am “paid”), however I do so under the terms that I am not required to blog about them (and trust me there have been a few that weren’t blog-worthy). I never endorse a product on my blog that I wouldn’t tell my friends & family to purchase. Like I said before, I consider this my family recipe binder! Have a product you think I may be interested in or that may readers may be interested in? Contact me via email: delishfood [at] gmail [dot] com

Comments & Contact
My blog is a hobby. I try to ensure there are no typos, errors, omissions or broken links. But I have a full time job and other hobbies so it wouldn’t be unfounded for there to be a mistake, or two, or three on the site. Please feel free to contact me if you notice anything! I am always looking for ways to improve my site; if you have any ideas or suggestions, I’d love to hear from you! Jump right in and leave a comment! While comments are always welcome, be nice (constructive criticism is welcome) but outwardly rude or mean comments will not be approved. Hey its my blog – I can do that

I’d love to hear from you!! You can reach me one of the following ways:
