For January, I am doing a Whole Foods Plant Based Diet. And although this sounds super simple, when you take a deep dive it can just get more confusing. So let’s talk about this! You may find a healthier way of living…
I like to make January an eating challenge, a “reset” if you will. Last year I did Whole30, which was great (and hard) but I was a little alarmed at the amount of meat I ate. This year I decided to go Whole Food Plant Based (or at least vegetarian, I’m keeping my olive oil for now) for January. Turns out this Instant Pot Vegan White Bean Soup was the perfect dinner, with plenty of leftovers for lunches! Flavorful and filling, you won’t miss the meat.
This Salmon Breakfast Scramble is in honor of one of my very favorite breakfast dishes that I used to get at a local restaurant. I knew that it couldn’t be very hard to make and I wasn’t wrong. Easy enough for a home cook, full of protein and flavor, this one will soon be one of your favorites!
The holiday season is fast approaching. Believe it or not, Thanksgiving is now less than two weeks away. Time to get those holiday meal plans in place so that when game day comes, you can relax and enjoy the time with friends and family instead of running around like crazy. Today on the blog, I’m sharing How I’m Prepping for Thanksgiving and we’ve got a free, downloadable PDF to help you prep, too!
Feeding kids can be a tricky endeavor. While some kids are born adventurous eaters, others (like my three year old) subsist on a tightly held list of approved foods. For whatever reason, most kids do seem to love chicken tenders. I’m not sure if it’s the crispy breading, the sweet, mildly flavored meat, or the fact that chicken tenders are often used as edible vehicles for a sweet dip of some variety. Our new recipe for Baked Honey Nut Chicken Tenders is a healthier take on that childhood classic – and is sure to thrill even the most picky of eaters.
It’s pumpkin season, friends. This versatile little squash is probably best known for the eponymous seasonal latte and as a fall decoration, but I love to bake with it. From my Mother-in-law’s famous pumpkin bread to our pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin is a key ingredient in so many of my fall and winter recipes. This week I’m sharing our new recipe for Pumpkin Pecan Scones.
Fall means back to school, pumpkin everything, apple orchards and football. It also means those weekend game day parties are BACK and so are all of the great game day foods like wings, chili, and chips and dip. I love game day food but I don’t always love all of the processed, high sugar or high fat ingredients that many of them are often full of. Looking for a way to make game day food a little healthier? So were we. Here’s our list of Healthier Game Day Food! Just in time for the weekend.
The start of a new school year and the end of summer is a busy and exciting time. It also means that mornings can be a lot crazier as we all slowly get back into routines. Getting a healthy breakfast into my family before they start the day has always been a little bit of a challenge (especially since I’m not a morning person!). These easy, back to school breakfast ideas will surely help ease the morning chaos.

I have long said that if I could only choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would definitely be ice cream. I loooove ice cream. My love affair with the stuff started with family bike trips to the Dairy Queen as kid. At summer camp during my teen years, I was introduced to the gloriousness of Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food, an addiction that continues today. And don’t even get me started on my gelato obsession. Our family rule is: when in Europe, ice cream must be eaten at least once daily. Needless to say, I’m a fan of ice cream. That’s why I’m so excited to share with you our all-new No Bake Ice Cream Bars!

If you’ve been following With Two Spoons for awhile, you might have noticed that both Lane and I love to travel. We both really love the thrill of experiencing new places and cultures, especially when it comes to food! Late last week, my husband and I snuck away to Hawaii to celebrate our birthdays. Hawaii is one of our favorite places in the world for so many reasons – beautiful weather, gorgeous beaches, and (of course) amazing food. It’s our favorite place to really, truly relax. The one thing we don’t always love? The flight time. From the midwest, you’re looking at a solid 9 hours of in seat time to get to this island paradise. And while Hawaii is 100 percent worth it, as well all know, flying isn’t always the most pleasant of experiences. That being said, I’ve discovered over time that there are a few small things that can make long flights a little more enjoyable. Here’s my personal list of 5 Travel Essentials for Long Flights!
