Books, Books, Books! (And What’s on My TBR List for Fall)

October 4, 2019 By Holly Leave a Comment

It’s time for another bookish post here on With Two Spoons. As you might know, we love books just about as much as we love cooking and so every now and then, we share what we’ve been reading and what’s on our TBR (To Be Read) list for fellow bookish foodies. Fall is often a big time for publishers. New titles from established authors tend to be released ahead of the upcoming holiday season so there is generally a lot to choose from. I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately and would LOVE to get some book suggestions from you all! This week, I’m rounding up what I’ve read lately and what’s next on my TBR list.

As mentioned above, I’ve been in a bit of a reading rut lately. The end of summer and start of the school year was a little crazy around here and my book habit definitely got pushed to the side. I’m really excited for some cooler weather and a slightly slower pace of things so that I can get back in the reading saddle. So what have I read lately? Here’s the run down…

What I’ve Read This Summer (So Far!)

August 9, 2019 By Holly 1 Comment

If you’ve been following along for a while now, you probably know that in addition to cooking, we are major book addicts. We both love to escape into a good story and while our book tastes do diverge a little at times, we often read a lot of the same books and both love to hear about what others are reading.

With Two Spoons Reads: Recent Reads!

June 14, 2019 By Holly Leave a Comment

Time for another bookish update here on With Two Spoons. If you follow us on social media (and if you don’t, you should!), you might know that in addition to all things food and cooking, we have a serious love of books and reading. As summer reading season ramps up, I thought it might be fun to share a few of my recent reads in case you’re looking for some new titles to add to your summer reading list!

One of my favorite things in the world is a an afternoon at the beach. Tuck me under an umbrella with a cold drink (like a Hugo Spritz!) and a good book and I’m a very happy girl. My husband and I were recently returned from a trip to Hawaii. In addition to some soaking up the beautiful sights, perfect weather, and having some fantastic island adventures, I also had a bunch of relaxing days at the beach. It was heaven….

Friday Five: Raising Readers + A GIVEAWAY!

March 15, 2019 By Lane 17 Comments

I have been a life long reader. Addicted to ALL things books. My parents could get me to do anything by promising a trip to the library or even better, the bookstore! It started by reading Dr. Seuss by a nightlight instead of going to bed, and it’s graduated to finishing novels under the covers long after I should be sleeping! Reading is such a wonderful escape and such a great skill to hone in our kids. In honor of my amazing friend, Rebecca Ansari, and her debut novel “The Missing Piece of Charlie O’Reilly”, let’s talk about raising readers. (And enjoy the fun photos of kids reading, provided to me by other mamas passionate about Raising Readers!) Only interested in the Giveaway? Fair enough-scroll to the bottom and enter to win (but beware: you’re missing out on a lot of great information)! Without further ado, keep reading for the Friday Five: Raising Readers!

Books, Books, Books: How I Organize My Reading Life

February 22, 2019 By Holly 2 Comments

If there’s one thing here at With Two Spoons that we love more than food, it’s books.

Fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks. Hardcover, paperback, e-reader.

We love them all. If you follow along with us on social media, you know that we are posting what we’re reading this year using the hashtag #withtwospoonsreads. It’s been a really fun way for us to share what we’re reading and loving and to connect with other book loving folks out there (and get some great book recommendations, too!). With how much we’ve been enjoying that little side project, I thought it might be fun to delve a little deeper into what our reading lives look like here on the blog. So, if books are your thing and you want to learn more about what’s on our TBR (that’s To Be Read list!), how we track our reading, different reading challenge options we’ve found, and the fun that is #bookstagram, keep reading!

2019 With Two Spoons Projects!

January 25, 2019 By Holly Leave a Comment

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…

Friday Five: These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

November 30, 2018 By Holly Leave a Comment

Whew! It’s been a busy one around here and I am so glad that it’s Friday (despite the fact that I’m working all weekend – sigh). Before I dive into this week’s Friday five, I wanted to share that we did a fun Facebook interview with the amazing Dr. Hammerstedt of Wholist Health on Wednesday! We had a blast sharing a little bit of our story and some tips for healthy eating and cooking – including these healthy Veggie Quinoa Cakes. Find the link to the interview on Facebook and be sure to check out Wholist. Now, onto our Friday Five…
This week’s Friday Five is a quick little collection of fun things I’m loving, reading, making, and listening to this week. I hope you find some new favorites! We’d love to hear all about your Friday Five Favorites……
