Summer. Glorious summer. Hopefully you’ll get some time lying on a dock somewhere where you can immerse yourself in some great summer reading. And summer is the perfect set up for a binge worthy series!
Don’t know what to read? No problem.
Here are a few great series that will keep you busy all summer long!

Do you ever have those dishes that you only order in restaurants because you think that it’s just too complicated to make them at home?
And you pay a fortune for them, but what choice do you have?
That dish is scallops for me. And it turns out I DO have a choice. And so do you.
See, in reality, scallops are not at all difficult to make. In fact these Maple Glazed Seared Scallops are pretty darn easy. But shhh….I won’t tell if you won’t. And you will look like a superstar at your next dinner party.

The end of May brings graduations aplenty! Graduations from every kind of school from high school to college to professional school (shout out to all of the new doctors and lawyers out there!)!

Here in Minneapolis we finally saw our first 80 degree day. Everyone flocked outside to take advantage of the amazing sunshine. People congregated on driveways, at parks, around our 10,000+ lakes. Just so dang happy to be outside!
But as the temperatures go up, and everyone gathers outside, snacks are needed. Like this Lemon Rosemary White Bean Dip made with Fresh Crush Rosemary Olive Oil from the Queen Creek Olive Mill. Perfect for a summer gathering (or really ANY gathering).
Don’t trust me? It’ll take you FIVE minutes to make it this delicious dip and you can see for yourself!

Last weekend we packed up my Honda Pilot, checked out of our normal lives, and headed north for a blogging weekend…
Here is the story.
…
Plant forward.
Although I’ve been hearing this everywhere, it took me awhile to figure out what exactly this meant! I mean it’s not necessarily vegetarian or vegan…
Finally, I realized it is as simple as making plants the star of the show. Now that is nutrition advice we should ALL get behind.
Let me show you one way to make it not only simple-but delicious as well! It’s so, so easy with these Roasted Carrots with Easy Thai Peanut Sauce. (and as I had just published a peanut sauce recipe a few weeks ago, these roasted carrots are quite timely-now you’ll have a great way to use that sauce!)

Spring is in the air. And I’m not sure I’ve ever been so grateful for our loyal audience here at With Two Spoons. So many thoughts and plans swirling around as we plan for the future of our little brand. And as always, when thinking about the future I like to invoke a little creativity! So where I am finding inspiration?
Stay tuned, because if I’m finding inspiration…
YOU CAN TOO!

Easy Thai Peanut Sauce.
And if I can make it in less than 10 minutes, so can you!
