You Don’t Have to Be Rich to Give Generously

December 15, 2015 By Lane 7 Comments

It’s that time of year for Gift Giving…and we’ve got you covered! Give generously, these options won’t break the bank!

If you’re like us, the Holiday Season brings invitations to a wide variety of celebrations and events. The struggle to find the perfect host or hostess gift is real! Often you just need a little something to give, but you’d like it to be unique, fun and most importantly useful. Here are a few simple (and mostly local!) host/hostess gift ideas for the foodies in your life. Give one, or give generously and make a basket containing all of them! You’ll be invited back every year – we promise….

It’s All About the Frosting

Every year on my birthday, my mom brings me an angel food cake with the most delicious frosting. She got the recipe from a neighbor when I was a child. It’s not a fancy recipe, and in fact, the ingredients might strike some foodie-types as a bit low-brow (Pudding! Cool Whip!), but I love it. A blend of whipped topping, pudding, and malt powder, it is light, creamy, and just a bit sweet. It works beautifully with a simple angel food cake. Best of all, it comes together in about five minutes and requires nothing more than a sturdy bowl and a mixer of some type.

An obsession pays off…

For years I’ve been obsessed with finding the perfect tomato soup. Obsessed. Every year as the weather turns colder, my attention turns towards the pursuit of that pinnacle of tomato soups, the one you want to make over and over again, and every year I am disappointed.

And We’re Off!

Welcome to With Two Spoons, a blog about food.

We are Holly and Lane, two friends with a shared love of good food and drinks. Awhile back, we decided to start a blog as a creative break from our full time jobs and something totally outside of our comfort zones. Since we spend most of our time together talking about the latest recipes we’ve tried (for better and for worse!) and books we’ve been reading (often about food), we couldn’t think of a better source of inspiration for our little project. Our hope with this space is to write about our adventures – and misadventures – in the kitchen. We want to tell you about recipes we are making, cookbooks we are devouring, and some recipes we have developed ourselves. It’s going to be a fun ride and we hope you’ll come along. Basically, we are on a quest to find food that’s so good, you’ll want it served With Two Spoons.

Look for our first real posts coming before the end of the year!

XOXO,

Lane & Holly
