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.

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….
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!

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…
