Good Food Reads

I just returned from a lovely vacation in the Arizona desert. It was filled with sunshine, wonderful family time, and (of course) some seriously good food. As I attempt to reset my diet – and (let’s be honest) reintroduce vegetables to my body! – I am craving all of that amazing southwest food we indulged in. So, with that being said you’ll have to forgive the slightly spicy bent to today’s Good Food Reads. What can I say? I’ve got big, bold flavors on the brain and I’m not feeling sad about it.

Like I mentioned, I’m attempting to dial back the indulgences this week while keeping all of that amazing flavor. I was so excited to find this recipe from Cooking Light for Chicken and Poblano Stew with Polenta. This recipe has chipotles in adobo, which is one of my favorite ingredients, but also roasted poblanos so the smoky heat should be amazing.

Breakfast Tacos Al Pastor, via Half Baked Harvest. Because there’s no reason that my current cravings should stop at breakfast! Also, they have pineapple in them. GENIUS.

And because I can’t stop, won’t stop: Carne Asada Burrito Bowls. This recipe does require a little advanced prep with the steak marinade, but they payoff should be worth it. I’m planning to double the recipe and bring some bowls to work this weekend!

You know I can’t resist a good sheet pan recipe. This week I really want to this recipe for Sheet Pan Roasted Jambalya. There is just something about those pictures full of wonderfully bright vegetables and fresh shrimp that I can’t stop thinking about!

Another batch prep for me this week: Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup. Even though things are starting to warm up here in Minnesota (hellooooo spring!), I’m still loving soup. This gorgeous soup from Dana at Minimalist Baker is vegan and gluten free. Plus, it uses coconut milk and dill for a little something extra. YUM.

As I noted earlier, I’m trying to up my vegetable game this week but I’m just not feeling my usual salads. I’m hoping to try these Sweet Chili Roasted Brussels Sprouts tonight. The mix of sweet chili and soy sauces is right up my alley!

Ok, admittedly, this Strawberry Almond Tea Cake recipe has absolutely nothing to do with my recent travels/cravings and everything to do with the arrival of strawberry season and the crazy gorgeous photos from Broma Bakery.

And finally, I give you: Mexican Chocolate Churro Rice Krispie Treats. Oh my heavens. Are these for real?!?!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s Good Food Reads. I’m off to make some yummy food and dream of the warm dessert evenings. Send us your tips, tricks, and favorite recipes – we’d love to include them here on Good Food Reads!

Announcement

Another Friday has come and that means a new edition of Good Food Reads. With Easter only a few days away, we have a few holiday themed recipes (of course) but we also have some recipes for the post-holiday hangover. I don’t know about you, but after all the busy prep for big holiday meals, I find myself avoiding the kitchen for a few days. As a result, I love to have some easy, prep ’em and leave ’em type recipes in my pocket to get my family fed and keep my sanity intact. Here’s hoping you enjoy our picks for Good Food Reads as much as we have enjoyed finding them!

Healthy Easter Brunch Recipes, if you’re still looking for that perfect dish for this weekend’s festivities.

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs just in time for the Easter Weekend! Want something a little more substantial? Try this Carrot Layer Cake. Perfect every-bunny (yup, I went there..!).

One Pot Chicken and Coconut Curry Noodles. Another recipe for my one pot meal list!

I have a long love affair with Indian food. I don’t love all the hours over the stove, however. Enter: Slow Cooker Indian Butter Chicken from Dinner: A Love Story.

Salad for breakfast. Yup, for those days when you want to feel super virtuous. Or just eat a really yummy breakfast! And after you eat that salad, feel free to indulge in Blueberry Pistachio Coffee Cake.

After two vacations in the last two months, I’m feeling the need to focus a little more on whole foods and less carbs (gulp). I’m thinking these Vietnamese Beef Lettuce Wraps will make a satisfying meal that doesn’t feel like diet food! I’m also looking forward to trying the Spring Detox Cauliflower Salad from Pinch of Yum.

Everything Greek Pork Pitas. Another slow cooker gem, but with a lighter twist for warmer weather.

Friends, that’s it for this week’s Good Food Reads. I’m off to enjoy the holiday weekend with family. For those who celebrate, Happy Easter. And for those who just enjoy an abundance of Peeps and Cadbury eggs, happy eating.

Good Food ReadsI’m going to be very honest with you. There is no real theme for this week’s Good Food Reads. And I’m 100 percent ok with that. What we do have is a collection of really good recipes from around the blogging world to hopefully fill your kitchens this weekend. I’m gearing up for a busy work weekend so I’ve selfishly included a number of easily portable, healthy salads. Similarly, I am planning to reinstate meatless Monday at my house and so I’ve dug up a tasty looking vegetarian soup recipe that I’m excited to try. What are you cooking this weekend? Here’s my wish list:

Because every Friday needs Jalapeño Queso Dip with Homemade Spiced Chips.

It’s asparagus season!!! Otherwise known as the time of year my husband will actually eat vegetables. So, these gorgeous Pesto and Ricotta Filled Asparagus and Radish Tarts are happening in my house ASAP….

Good Food Reads

Oh, dear foodie friends. We have such goodness for you in this latest installment of Good Food Reads! As usual, we have scoured the internet and found a collection recipes and articles that are inspiring us currently and can’t wait to share them with you. Ready? I thought so. Here. We. Go….

A Guide To Pairing Wine and Cake. Because we all need a little more cake. And probably a little more wine!

Check out the gorgeous color of these Red Coconut Curry Meatballs with Cauliflower Rice. I’m planning to prep a batch for easy work meals this weekend!

Continuing my love affair with the InstantPot: Life Changing InstantPot Beef Stew from the lovely Lindsay at Pinch of Yum. Since we’re still working our way slowly into spring over here in Minnesota, this

Patio season is going to be here soon and I’m collecting cocktail recipes for entertaining. The latest addition to my list? The Ginger Rogers from Broma Bakery. With fresh ginger, grapefruit, and gin, how could it not be perfect?

Though we are nearing the end of citrus season, I’m still planning on getting in a batch of these Thick and Chewy Lime Bars with a Shortbread Crust. And I’m just aching to get my hands on some fresh rhubarb so that I can make these Roasted Rhubarb Scone Sandwiches with Vanilla Bean Glaze. Gorgeous.

Try this easy appetizer: Marinated Goat Cheese. Elegant and full of flavor. Another great spring option? Buttered Radish Tartines. The key is really good butter and a fresh, crusty bread loaf.

Are you a Trader Joes fan? I love picking up unusual items there and love seeing what others are buying. Here’s a list of 20 Things To Buy at TJ’s to save a little grocery cash.

This one’s for you, Lane: Smashed Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Chimichurri. Sounds like the perfect summer dinner!

And finally, I’m making a batch of these honey roasted strawberry muffins tomorrow morning to get me through my work weekend.

What are you lovelies planning to make this weekend? Let us know via instagram or twitter (@withtwospoons) or join us on Facebook! We can’t wait to see what you’re cooking!

Hey friends. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Are you celebrating today? Will you wear green? I will fully admit that I’m feeling a little blogger guilt about not having a totally Irish or green themed post for you today (#bloggerfail!) but we’re going to march forward with a bunch of Good Food Reads anyway, ok? Ok.  I promise we do have some last minute St. Patrick’s Day themed recipe links for you, but for those who are not super into the holiday (that would be me, too!), we also have some great non-holiday foodie finds. You know, in case you don’t want to live on corned beef and green beer for the next week! …

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Good Food Reads

I am so excited about our picks for this week’s Good Food Reads. One of my favorite things about writing this part of the blog is all of the fun internet food inspiration I get to sort through and ooh and aah over each week.

I’m pretty sure this week’s Good Food Reads has something for everyone – from the sweet tooth to the veggie lover and in between! …

German Chocolate Cake: Kids in the Kitchen

January 23, 2017 By Lane 14 Comments

German Chocolate Cake

I got the sweetest text last month.  One of my friends told me that her eight year old daughter was wondering “if that girl who makes really good cake” could come over and bake with her over the Christmas holiday.  And when asked what she wanted to make, the answer was German Chocolate Cake.  Yep, sounded good to me!  This post chronicles their (super fun) day.  The food isn’t styled, the lighting isn’t perfect, there was no thought given to composition, but hopefully it encourages you to get your own kids into the kitchen.  It’s amazing what they can create!…

Well friends, here we are. The day before Thanksgiving. I’m sure that most of you are busy getting ready to welcome friends and family to your homes or to travel to meet with loved ones and share a (likely huge!) meal. I look forward every year to the traditional foods of Thanksgiving. I love mashed potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts, and dixie pie. For me, the turkey is ok, but the real game is in the sides. What are your Thanksgiving favorites?…

Chocolate Espresso Layer Cake

April 29, 2016 By Holly Leave a Comment

Chocolate Espresso Layer CakeI think we all have those recipes, tucked into the back of a recipe box or a binder, that gets pulled out once a year for a specific occasion. This Chocolate Espresso Layer Cake, from the genius Ina Garten, is exactly that recipe for me. Each April, I lovingly make this cake for my husband’s birthday and then – for no good reason – it tends to be tucked back into my trusty recipe binder until the next spring. I can’t quite figure out why I don’t make it more often. It is really the best cake ever: layers of rich, dark chocolate with a hint of coffee to cut the sweetness and buttermilk to keep it moist. When the recipe was published in Food and Wine years ago, Ina declared it “the most fabulous chocolate cake I’ve ever made.” I agree wholeheartedly….

Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake

April 8, 2016 By Lane 4 Comments

Celebration indeed!  This Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake will make everyone want to celebrate!

Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake

Ahhhh, vacation.  Yep, that is right, vacation.  Much needed, well-deserved, greatly enjoyed.  Don’t we all love going on vacation?  Well, my in-laws have decided to “winter” in Arizona 5 months of the year, truly living the ultimate vacation.  Unfortunately that means that they aren’t always available to celebrate my youngest child’s birthday on his actual birthday date (in February).  No problem, he’s now old enough to understand that not having grandma and grandpa here on his birthday just means presents in the mail (so awesome) and another celebration at a later date (even more awesome).  Who doesn’t love another celebration?…

{NEW BLOG POST} It’s been a tough year and I fee {NEW BLOG POST} It’s been a tough year and I feel like not everyone understands the heavy burden we as healthcare workers are carrying. 
.
.
For anyone that has some interest in my own perspective as an emergency medicine physician, head on over to the blog and get my take. 
.
.
As an added bonus many of my friends and colleagues (of all job descriptions) sent me photos of themselves in their PPE.  As one non-healthcare worker said “all of those photos are so impactful”.
.
.
Hopefully with the vaccine now here, we’re headed towards brighter days...but obviously this depends on the buy in of a public that is getting used to being so deeply divided. 
.
.
May this upcoming year -2021 -bring us back together again. In more ways than one!

Pandemic Lesson #6- Time. . . This was one was the Pandemic Lesson #6- Time.
.
.
This was one was the hardest lesson for me to learn.  I had prided myself on my jam packed schedule and had normalized “busyness” to the point of exhaustion. 
.
.
All of the sudden we went on lockdown and there was nowhere I could go let alone had to go.  At first I filled up that time up with zoom bookclubs and zoom happy hours, but as the days went on I learned to see that time for the gift it was. 
.
.
My kids didn’t need to be anywhere.  My husband didn’t need to be anywhere.  I didn’t need to be anywhere.  I could just be. 
.
.
Turns out that taking that time isn’t self indulgent- it’s self preserving.  Took a pandemic for me to figure that out. 
.
.
Sure I miss real gatherings and hanging out with people.  But in the future I won’t go back to having a jam packed calendar with no room to breathe. 
.
.
I’ve planted my feet firmly on the ground and learned to take my time.  To just be.

Pandemic Lesson #5- Equality (and the attention dr Pandemic Lesson #5- Equality (and the attention drawn to inequality). 
.

I will readily admit this photo does not display all that I wanted it to.  But I will say if you had arrived at the Emergency Department of my Level 1 Trauma Center on this specific day, this is the amazing badass all-female physician team that would have saved your life. (Competently and with great compassion)
.
.
We ladies are lucky to work for an organization with pay transparency, amazing camaraderie, and pay equality whether you are white or black, male or female, gay or straight.  So many are still not afforded that simple provision. 
.
.
We all lived through the horror of George Floyd’s murder in what was practically our backyards.  We bore witness to a city torn apart with grief and fear. We cried together and tried to mend the broken hearts and spirits of our friends and patients of color.  We have so far to go. 
.
.
Although we still have so much work to do, I’m here to say we’ll keep working until we get there. May we all get to live in a world where equality is more than a pipe dream. Where you are judged for your heart and soul and actions not the color of your skin or your gender or your sexual preference. 
.
.
I thank every one of you who is different from me in any way.  You are the ones who make life rich, who keep me learning, who add so much to the kaleidoscope of our world.  We all belong.  How boring life would be if we all were the same. 
.
.
I pledge to keep fighting until everyone has opportunity.  And if there is a way I can better do that, by all means, let me know.  I’ll start by acknowledging inequality is absolutely still a problem we all need to confront.  Join me in confronting inequality head on. 2021 we’re coming for you.

I have always been a book addict.  A lifelong reader.  I get a ton of pleasure out of losing myself in a good book.  This year more than ever, in a year where we couldn’t travel, and escaping seems necessary, books were a constant source of comfort. 
.

I took some of my unused travel budget and joined @bookofthemonth club and got myself a long overdue @audible account.  Not to mention placing holds on LIbby to reserve all of the ebooks through the library.  I couldn’t get enough books!

Pandemic Lesson #3: Nature’s Beauty... . With al Pandemic Lesson #3: Nature’s Beauty...
.
With all of this at home time this year, I had time to look around at what nature could do.  Snow on the trees, vegetables in my garden, flowers in my backyard, apples on my trees, amazing sunsets over the water at my cabin.  Nature is awe-inducing when you stop to look. 
.
.
I bought this little Christmas cactus at @shopbachmans while doing errands around Thanksgiving time.  I wanted something close to my bed that I could look at every day when I woke up -to remember the everyday beauty in the world. 
.
.
Because despite all of the horror of 2020 (and there has been tons) there is also a lot of beauty- especially when you stop to look for it.

Many of you know 2020 has been hard for me (and fo Many of you know 2020 has been hard for me (and for just about everyone else out there!). It has been a beat down of a year in healthcare and a heart wrenching soul crushing year as an emergency physician.  I’ve struggled to find ways to find some peace amongst all of the sadness. 
.
.
Writing has helped me process some of what I’ve seen and endured.  It has helped me to get beyond my normal coping skill of saying “everything is fine” and being more realistic with my thoughts and emotions. I have now done Morning Page journaling for over 6 weeks without missing a day.  On the days I work at 6a I get up at 4a.  There is something soothing about the process of journaling that fills me and helps give me the strength to go back again. 
.

In the next few days I’m going to highlight some things I’ve learned.  Although we are anxious to throw out 2020 (so, so anxious), there are parts of 2020 we shouldn’t forget.

Stay tuned.

I’m grateful we have food to eat and a warm house to live in.  I’m grateful for friends who have reached out today, a beautiful Christmas tree that went up, and a lot of time to write today.

My hope for beauty coming out of the dumpster fire My hope for beauty coming out of the dumpster fire that has been 2020. 
.
.
This is my old compost bin.  It is too heavy to lift off of our deck and we haven’t gotten around to finding a good way to move it.  As I was walking by (to head to the new compost bin), I noticed the most beautiful Thai basil and mint plants growing in the midst of what once was essentially garbage-table scraps and grass cuttings. 
.
.
So maybe 2020 will be like that.  Maybe we’re just waiting to see what will rise from all of the garbage.  Will it be closer relationships from more time spent with family? Will it be a deeper appreciation of locally grown food? Will it be a life slowed down with less over scheduling? Will it be the beauty of discovering your favorite book? Will it be that garden that you weren’t sure would make it, producing bushels of tomatoes? Will it be the strength in knowing that even though times were tough you stood strong? 
.
.
Whatever lessons you are learning from 2020, I hope they are serving you well.  May you too be the Phoenix rising from the ashes.
