Hi all, I'm Ashley Schuering, the blogger behind Confessions of a Grocery Addict and I LOVE TO EAT.

I have over 20 years of restaurant experience with time spent as a line cook, prep cook, and pastry professional, so I know food. Sometimes I go all out and make things entirely from scratch, but I also love finding efficient hacks to getting a (mostly) healthy & homemade meal on the table fast.

I scour the grocery stores and interwebs for hardworking products that make being the CFO (Chief Food Officer) of my family a little easier. Not only do I love reviewing grocery products and meal kits, but I also enjoy finding ways to incorporate store-bought items into my recipes so they are accessible for real, busy people. My motto is, "there's no shame in shortcuts!"

My cooking style is rough n’ ready, seasonal, and globally inspired. I’m focused on: 

• BIG flavor, 
• Nutritious ingredients, 
• Eliminating waste (It’s better for the pocket AND the environment!), and
• Committing to eating made-at-home meals 95%+ of the time to keep my budget in check.

As I continue to grow my blog, I've also begun to lean into cleaning and organizational tips. Your home should be your sanctuary, the place where you feel completely at ease. As a lifelong neat freak (and someone who has professionally cleaned houses), I have lots of opinions on how to get there! My ideal cleaning products are safe for kids and pets, good for the environment, and are things that I look forward to using.

I hope to see you in the kitchen soon!

With warmth and gratitude,

Ash, Grocery Addict
