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!

It’s Friday! Finally. Right?
After a long and busy week, I am so ready for this weekend. Lane and I are heading up to her cabin for a fun filled girls weekend of recipe testing, food photography, and all around fun. It’s going to be a great time! I spent the morning pouring over my pages of recipe notes and ideas and then running to Trader Joes for all the things we are going to need for our weekend cooking extravaganza. My groceries are temporarily tucked away and shortly I’m going to pack up my weekend gear, but before I do, I wanted to share a few of my favorite things from around the web this week. It’s a quick little list, but one I hope you enjoy when you get some time. Grab some of our Lemon Cardamom Monkey Bread (pictured below), a good cup of coffee, and pull up a chair. Here are The 5 Things You Need to Read This Weekend…

Happy Friday, friends! It’s the end of another great week and – almost – the end of January already. How did that happen? It seems like the holidays flew by and the start of the year has done the same. Between setting and starting New Year’s goals and launching head first into those January healthy habits (hellooooo, Whole30!), the month really has raced past. I know that a lot of people have been following Lane’s progress with Whole30 and it’s been really great to watch her absolutely kill it with her preparation, dedication, and super awesome meals. As her 30 days are almost up, I wanted to let you know about a couple of other, longer term, mini-projects that we’ll be working on this year at With Two Spoons that you might want to follow along with! This week’s Good Food Reads is all about our 2019 With Two Spoons Projects. Read on for all the details…

I wear many different shoes throughout a day. I’m a mom, wife, daughter, full time physician, and food blogger all of which translates into a crazy, BUSY life. I’m willing to bet y’all are facing similar challenges. Feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day? Me too! Feel like you’re barely hanging on sometimes? I hear you loud and clear! Chaos abound in your house? Yep, mine too! So this Friday Five, let’s talk about making our lives just a little bit easier. Commit to taking the next 5 minutes for yourself, grab a cup of coffee (or glass of wine, no judgement here) and let’s see if we can help. I’m going to share a few of my favorite life hacks and hopefully you’ll be willing to share yours as well!
