I made this last night and my only regret was not doubling the recipe! We at it all and wanted more. Thank you so much for the deliciousness!

Hi Ashley,

I’m late to the party – I just discovered your blog a couple of weeks ago, after reading a blog post with some recipes from Date Night In on glamour.com.

I decided to order your book, and first off, let me say it’s beautiful! I love the cover and the pictures inside. I’ve been wanting to be a better cook and just “create” more in general but my office job has taken most of my time, and I’m exhausted when I get home. But after reading your posts and seeing how you MAKE time for creating something special and spending time with your husband (and you have kids, which I’m sure is more of a handful than any work I’m dealing with! My husband and I are newlyweds so we’re not quite there yet :)) I’m inspired to do the same!

I tried the brownie recipe and it was awesome! I documented the first attempt on my blog, which is still pretty rough around the edges and new, but all I can say is thank you for inspiring me to go for it – cooking, loving life and following my passion for writing!

P.S. After reading only the first few pages of Date Night In, I actually got teary! My husband and I met in the first year of college as well and your story reminds me of ours in a lot of ways!

Thank you again and good luck!

Biggest congratulations to you on the publication of your book! That must be so incredibly exciting and rewarding! I’ve seen so many references to Date Night In through instagram lately, and cannot wait to get a copy for myself!

Kindled and already read. I found you because of Megan Gordon and Molly Wizenberg. Your recipes look fantastic, and I loved your stories. I found your blog through the book, and can’t wait to explore.

Thank you for painting a realistic picture of marriage. So many bloggers and writers think that they need to paint pictures of fairy tails and perfection when they write about their relationships. I don’t know if that is because they equate struggle with failure, or if it’s just not their style of writing. Personally I become a little depressed when I am immersed in people’s perfection, when I’m so well acquainted with the mundane…

I so appreciated the fact that your book reflected good times and hard times, and that you highlighted the amount of work that goes into a marriage. In my own life, I have found that my marriage has brought me my lowest lows and my highest highs. But making it through the hard times make the good ones so much more rewarding…kind of like that first 70 degree day after a bleak winter.

Nice to meet you, Ashley!

I just wanted to update and say that we made this last night for dinner and it was fantastic!! My hubby took a bite and said, “Oh, this is a 10.” (He’s a tough critic, so that’s high praise!) The only thing we’re bummed about is that we didn’t make more so we’d have more leftovers!

Ashley- first I have never taken time to send an author an email about his or her book, but yours touched me in a way that I so needed. I just finished reading it cover to cover, and all I can say is that it is the most beautiful book I have ever read. And not because of the beautiful photos or the amazing sounding recipes. Your genuine desire to love your husband …. oh, please let me love my husband half that much! Thank you for this wonderful gift. I can’t wait to share these recipes with my husband and rebuild our connection!!!

Congrats, Ashley! How exciting that your book has made it to print! I keep meaning to head down the street and meet you in person at your cookie shop/office. One of these days… I met Gabe a few weeks back when I bought some cookie mix. Hope the new year is treating you well!
