Sunday dinner, party of 1... might sound Ravi-lonely, but let’s be honest, it’s the only way I can photograph my food! 🤣

Out of curiosity, how much time do you think it takes me to plan, shop, make, photograph, clean up, edit photos, write a blog post, and post it? Leave your guess below — I’ll answer in stories tomorrow!

Creamy, cheesy and a little bit of spice. What else do you possibly need for a Super Bowl dip? This 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗽 is by far my most requested dip recipe for game day!

I asked some of my best friends what they thought about this dip and here’s what they had to say...

“𝘛𝘰𝘱 3 @𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘦𝘴. 𝘉𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘳 1000000%.”

PS shoutout to my friend Maggie for photoshopping the football tablecloth out of this photo since I didn’t have time to reshoot this recipe! Swipe to see the original!

There are so many new faces around here! 👋🏼👋🏼

I know you’re all l here for the cheese, but I wanted to do a quick introduction! I’m Colleen, the gal behind @rightbackspatula!

I work full-time in the corporate world by day, but I live to entertain on the weekends. I especially love a good themed charcuterie board!

I believe food brings people together and creates lasting memories. I love to entertain so a lot of my recipes are geared towards hosting, but I also share recipe ideas for dinner, brunch and everything else in between.

The other half of my page is focused on boards & boxes!! 🧀 While I can’t sell all of the boards I make, I love sharing tips for you to recreate your own at home. My highest priority right now is to get my online order form up and running... it’s coming! It’s hard than you would think! :)

Here’s a brief history on how I started selling boards and boxes...

Like many of you, I got very bored last March when we all had to stay home. I had many friends lose family members, pets, jobs, etc. so I started ding dong ditching them, leaving a cheese box on their front porch in hopes to bring a smile to their face. At the same time, I was quickly flooded with requests and just like that my board & box business was born!!! Almost a year later, here we are!

If you want to know more about me, leave a comment! I’m so happy to have you following along. Welcome to my kitchen!

Dried citrus is perfect as a garnish for cocktails, desserts, charcuterie boards, and even meals. They can be added on top of a glass or tea or used in meat/seafood rubs. If you’re crafty, you could even use them to make your own garland.

Something so simple to make and so versatile to use.

This meal is based around my go to chicken recipe that I use for most of my Mexican bowls, tacos, or salads. I can’t believe I haven’t shared with you yet, but it’s all yours now!!

This meal only takes 30 minutes to make and so tasty that you won’t even miss the tortilla or the cheese. It’s enjoyable for dinner and would be perfect for meal prep once we get back to that life...

Went the whole nine yards for Monday night snacks. Anyone else? What are you snacking on for the game?🏈

There’s no question who I’ll Brie rooting for tonight! ⭕️🙌🏼🙏🏼⭕️ Let’s go buckeyes!

Let’s talk skinny dipping tips! Get your head ou

Let’s talk skinny dipping tips! Get your head out of the gutter, this is a veggie platter so they’re skinny dips! 🙃 I have 4 tips that will help elevate the dips you serve on your boards. Leave a comment below with a dip and I’ll tell you how I would garnish it!

𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝟏: 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬!
If you’re trying to make an aesthetically pleasing board, then 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵, serve your dips in the plastic store bought containers.

For starters, we are living in the covid ages... that’s just gross! It’s unclear who/what has touched those containers before it ends up in your fridge at home. I like to utilize every square inch of my boards therefore I don’t want my clean food touching nasty packaging germs.

Secondly, it looks a helluva lot better.

Lastly, it helps eliminates food waste. Only put out what you think you will use... you can always replenish!

𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝟐: 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐝𝐝 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬!
When serving dips on boards, I like to work with odd numbers. Take this pic for example. Last weekend I made a veggie board for my family. I used 3 different dips to give people options so they’re more inclined to eat their veggies!

𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝟑: 𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬!
Use different sized/shaped ramekins to add different textures. I used 3 completely different ramekins on this board, but you could use 3 of the same. Keep proportion in mind... you don’t want to take up half of the board with just ramekins.

Place the ramekins on the board first and build around them. Don’t group more than 3 together or it may look cluttered.

𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝟒: 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐩𝐬!
Just like any board, the last step is to garnish, but garnishing doesn’t stop with the board. Elevate the overall appearance of your board by garnishing your dips. I picked one ingredient that is in each of these dips to help garnish and identify the dips...

-Regular hummus garnish with olive oil, dash of paprika, roasted chick peas, and parsley.

-Everything bagel Greek yogurt dip garnished with everything bagel seasoning!

-Spicy feta dip garnished with extra feta cheese!

First recipe of 2021 and this one is🔥This is a

First recipe of 2021 and this one is🔥This is a hardly a recipe because of how simple it is, but don’t let that fool you because it’s still full of so much flavor!

This 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗽 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 can be on the table in just 15 minutes and reheats well the next day! 💃🏻

On Jan 1, 2020 I shared my goal of wanting to sell boards... swipe right to see the post.

On Jan 4, 2020 I sold my first board.

It’s now Dec 31st and I’m closing out the year with over 225 board and box sales!! SAY WHAT? 😮

I certainly couldn’t have done this without all of you! Thank you for continuing to buy my boards and support this account. Most importantly thank you for allowing me to do what I love!

I have so many fun ideas for next year that I can’t wait to start working on, but for now, it’s time to put my feet up and raise a glass. Cheers to hoping 2021 is Gouda Brie Grate! 🧀
