Hello there.
Welcome to The Honest Spoon! I'm here to share my recipes for all things cooking and baking. I keep the ingredients minimal and the method simple. This blog is all about simple recipes and methods for everyone.
I grew up in Southern California, where Italian was my first language. If you combined every stereotypical Italian-American movie scene, it would be a good insight to how I grew up. Imagine a lot of parties, a lot of food, a lot of chatting (really just yelling over each other). Essentially a party or two (or four) every weekend of your life. In retrospect, that was tactical training for the entertaining, baking, and cooking machine I've become.
A several years ago we had an AMAZING opportunity to move to Vermont. People thought we were crazy to leave Southern California. I mean, it's freaking winter for half the year in Vermont! But, you know what? Living in Vermont felt like we were living in a storybook. Have you seen pictures of Fall in Vermont? MIND BLOWING.
We now live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When I am not working, baking, cooking, or cleaning I am OUTSIDE. You’ll find me grabbing a coffee downtown with my husband and two boys (#boymom for the win). Otherwise, we are biking, hiking, or camping. My husband swears he only does the camping thing to humor me....but I don't believe it. I mean, really, it's GLORIOUS here! Look at him gazing at that waterfall.
