2017 Holiday Gift Guide for Cooks

December 8, 2017 By Holly 2 Comments

For me, the holidays are a magical time. I love searching high and low for those perfect little gifts and wrapping them up in beautiful packaging. That being said, I also know that the search for those gifts – especially for things like host/hostess or stocking gifts – can feel a little overwhelming. We thought we’d put together a little collection of some of our favorite things to give to the food lover in your life this holiday season. We have practical things, clever things, and a bit of whimsy, too. The best part? Most of these items are under $20 and all are available online so you can do your shopping in your pajamas if you want to! There is, of course, one big splurge item in case you are looking for something extra special. None of the links below are affiliate (i.e. we don’t make any money if you click through – we just thought we’d share some of our favorites this time of year!). Happy shopping, friends!…

Good Food Reads: Instant Pot Recipes

December 1, 2017 By Lane 10 Comments

I have gotten so many comments and questions lately on the Instant Pot. Yesterday this hilarious comment showed up on social media from my friend Dana, “So…I finally got an Instant Pot, and wouldn’t you know, the instructions said to have Lane come over and make something for you.” Although I laughed, and said that I would be SO happy to go over and make food for her (you can hold me to this, Dana!) this actually made this Friday’s Good Food Reads: Instant Pot really easy to write. Let’s talk about the Instant Pot! Read on further for some great Instant Pot recipes!

Good Food Reads: It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

November 24, 2017 By Holly 2 Comments

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And by that, I mean it’s finally ok to play Christmas music 24/7. Yes, I am that girl and I have absolutely no shame about it. I do love Thanksgiving and all of it’s great food traditions (my favorite Thanksgiving food? Dixie Pie).but I really, really, really love Christmas. Being named Holly, I’m often asked if I was born at Christmas time. I wasn’t but that certainly hasn’t affected my love of the whole holiday season. Since it’s the day after Thanksgiving, I suppose I should be writing all about all of the ways you can use your turkey day leftovers (see this NPR article for some suggestions) but I’m still firmly in a food stupor and as we’re spending this holiday in the sunshine, we don’t have too many leftovers to worry about so instead I’m keeping this short and sweet and when I return to my kitchen in a few days, plan to live firmly in Christmas cooking land. With that in mind, here’s some Good Food Reads for your holiday weekend….

Good Food Reads: Thanksgiving 2017 Part 1

November 10, 2017 By Lane 3 Comments

Oh my friends, it’s November! And although November certainly means cold, windy, dark days here in Minneapolis, November is completely redeemed by the fact that it brings THANKSGIVING (my very favorite holiday ever). Thanksgiving means thousands of sides, desserts, and leftovers for days. I make homemade rolls that serve as dinner rolls on Thanksgiving Thursday and serve as the backbone of the perfect turkey sandwich on Black Friday. Leftover stuffing and mashed potatoes serve as a Black Friday breakfast that dreams are made of. I know y’all are planning your own Thanksgiving feasts, so here are a few suggestions!

(Never fear, this is only part 1!)

Good Food Reads: Sweets and Treats

October 20, 2017 By Holly Leave a Comment

Oh, you guys. I have had the worst sweet tooth lately. Typically, I love to bake sweets and treats but primarily for others. My husband has a legendary addiction to all things sugar, but typically I lean towards the salty/crunchy snacks. As the weather has turned, I’ve found myself gravitating toward butter, sugar, and most definitely all things chocolate. Since I’ve been delving into all of these sweet treat recipes, I thought I’d share a few I’ve recently tried or am planning to make with you all for this week’s Good Food Reads: Sweets and Treats….

Good Food Reads: Cookbooks

October 13, 2017 By Lane Leave a Comment

Cookbooks. My obsession. I read them like novels. I buy them, I carry them around, I gaze lovingly at the photos. I once carted a copy of “Deep Run Roots” in my airplane carry-on bag all the way to the Dominican Republic-and then proceeded to read it by the pool. And according to Amazon it weighs 6 pounds. SIX POUNDS! I cart bags of cookbooks to my cabin and back. I have multiple shelves, whole bookshelves, devoted to cookbooks. So I am just letting you know my addiction to cookbooks knows no bounds. (My husband just shakes his head and deeply sighs.)

And on that note, in this edition of Good Food Reads: Cookbooks, I thought I would share some of my current favorites (and trust me, it was NOT easy to choose. Not easy at all).

Good Food Reads: One Pot Wonders

October 6, 2017 By Holly Leave a Comment

If you’ve been reading With Two Spoons (and Good Food Reads, in particular) for any amount of time, it’s likely no secret that I am a huge fan of One Pot meals. As a full-time working mama of two kids four and under, I’m all about being able to make meals for my family that are tasty and easy and involve minimal cleanup, especially on those crazy nights where both kids need baths and we parents are t.i.r.e.d. Slow cooker, InstantPot, sheet pan, or dutch oven? Doesn’t matter. Love them all. So this week on Good Food Reads, I’m sharing my latest list of One Pot Wonders I’m itching to try. Got a good one to share? Send it our way! We’d love to try it….

Good Food Reads: Back In The Saddle

September 22, 2017 By Holly 3 Comments

Hey All! I’ve just returned from a fantastic week in coastal Rhode Island with my family. We were blessed to spend a few years living in Boston before we had children and I will always love this time of year on the East Coast. Our time away was filled with lots of hours at the beach (yay for a warm early September and non-crowded beaches!) and plenty of good, fresh seafood. I may or may not have eaten my weight in lobster rolls! Now that I’m back to the Midwest and finally unpacked – let’s not mention the laundry – I’m also getting back into my kitchen. One of my favorite travel tricks is to order groceries to be delivered on the day we return from a trip and we supplemented that this time by also having Blue Apron deliver a few days after we returned! I love not having to stress out about getting to the grocery store for essentials and not having to think about meals (even for someone like me who generally finds cooking relaxin) was great. That being said, I’m really ready to get back into it and so for this week’s Good Food Reads, I’m sharing my list of what I’m hoping to make in the next week or so! I’m back in the proverbial saddle and so excited for a good ride. I hope you join us and share some of your recipe favorites from your kitchens or around the internet!…
