Welcome Friends, I am so happy you have stopped by! I am thrilled you’re here.
Hello, I’m Holly! I am…
I’m a mom of four adult children and two sons-in-law, a grandma to two little loves (soon to be three), and a wife to my husband of 22 years. We live in the suburbs of Vancouver, BC with our three dogs (Havanese); Sam, Jake, and Emmy.
My background is in biological technology and research, but I also have a true passion for creativity, which has led me into the kitchen.
I can be found behind the camera or computer, developing and sharing family-friendly, mostly from scratch, recipes on my blog, SpendWithPennies.com.
I have a deep love for food and family and how they come together around the dinner table.
In my free time, I enjoy golfing (although not very well!), traveling, and reading cookbooks cover to cover as though they were novels. Above all, I love spending time with my family—the heart and soul of everything I do.
