Let’s give them pumpkin to talk about with this

Let’s give them pumpkin to talk about with this basic, adorable, [kind of] mini pumpkin board... Mini for me at least! #Minimondays
:
Y’all know I love to make big boards, but sometimes a little board is all you need. Amiright?
:
I have been loving the @jammy.nyc wine flavored jams. I used the merlot flavor on this board tonight and it was lovely paired with the cinnamon dusted cheese from TJs on top of a fig and olive cracker! You can use my code ‘OHSPATULA’ at checkout to take 20% off your order!
:
PS this board was from the Target dollar spot a few years ago, but I linked a few similar pumpkin boards on my LIKEtoKNOW.it account! Just download the app and screenshot this photo so you can shop my boards!

This pork tenderloin melts-in-your-mouth, is full of flavor, and is always a good idea for a Sunday dinner.

One of the most commonly asked questions I get is “who eats all of your food?”
:
The answer: usually my family eats [or chokes down] my food. Tonight I had my parents over for dinner. After making my own leftover container, I made one for my dads lunch tomorrow. Don’t worry, food doesn’t go to waste around here... unless it’s completely botched! 😉

𝘏𝘦𝘺 𝘺’𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘪𝘵’𝘴

𝘏𝘦𝘺 𝘺’𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘍𝘢𝘭𝘭!🍁🧡 Have y’all made a #TraderJoes run since the fall items hit the shelves? If so, what are your favorite fall items?I’m sharing one of mine with WEEK 9 (3 weeks late) of 20 minute meals, Fall edition! This 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗶 recipe is full of delicious fall flavors and is super simple to make. Recipe is below and not on the blog...yet!

𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:
1 package #traderjoes pumpkin ravioli [butternut squash would be just as delicious]
4 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh herb, chopped [I like rosemary or thyme]
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
1. Boil water in a pot and cook ravioli according to package.
2. While ravioli is cooking, start your brown butter sauce. In a shallow skillet, melt butter on medium high heat, stirring constantly. Keep stirring until butter begins to foam... keep stirring (~5min total). Butter will begin to brown. This happens fast so immediately turn off your heat and remove from burner.
3. Add in freshly chopped herbs,pinch of salt/pepper and Parmesan cheese. Stir until incorporated. Flavors will fuse together and will easily become the quickest most delicious sauce ever! Add ravioli to pan and stir until evenly coated.
4. Serve with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Garnish with fresh herbs!

Have you heard of #minimondays — it’s a trend

Have you heard of #minimondays — it’s a trend that has taken over the Instagram charcuterie world! There are so many creative little boards out there. But honestly, what’s charcuterie without wine? We need them both, which is why these boards are absolutely perfect! 🧀🍷
:
Sharing my rendition of #minimonday with the smallest, cutest board that perfectly fits a wine [stem or stemless] glass!
:
These boards come in a 4 pack and are perfect for covid friendly get togethers. As you can tell, they’re great for minis too, sans wine of course! 👧🏼🧀

In other news, I’m officially on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app under 𝙍𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙎𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙡𝙖.🎉This means you can shop my the products I share in my posts. You know... basically LIKEtoEAT.it 🤪 I linked these mini boards and similar options in my latest post. Come give me a follow!

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘀 are an easy, one-pan breakfast that everybody always loves! I ended up sleeping at my parents last night after the bachelorette pool party. This morning my mom just kept pulling stuff out of the fridge and said “so you’re making a skillet, right?” 😂
:
This is one of my most popular meals so if you’re new around here, start with a 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁. They are more of a process than a recipe... Just throw in any veggies from the fridge and whatever leftovers you have from the week and then add some eggs! Don’t worry, if you need to follow instructions, I wrote them all out in a blog post that breaks down each step.

I have seen mixed reviews on this new Cacio e Pepe Ravioli, so I had to test it out myself, but added a summer twist. Y’ALL THIS IS GOOD! 🙌🏼 I don’t understand what people don’t like about it. I would definitely buy it again! I’m still waiting to get my hands on the frozen Cacio e Pepe frozen spaghetti, but if it tastes anything like this, then it’ll be worth the wait!

I didn’t think it was possible to recreate one of my favorite pre-made Mediterranean salads from #TraderJoes ...Orzo thought.😉 But here we are!

I’m playing catch up again on my 20 minute meal posts because bday giveaways and cheese board competitions took over.

It’s “W E E K” 6️⃣ and I finally got around to publishing this 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝘆𝗰𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗢𝗿𝘇𝗼 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗱 recipe on my blog. Grilled chicken, shrimp or salmon would be a great addition to this salad as well.

When Bridesmaid duties call...

Had so much fun celebrating our bride-to-be @jacksattack16 this weekend with a blind rosé tasting and rosé themed charcuterie board. We may not have been in FL like we planned, but I think a little quality girl time was just as crave-able as this board! 💍👰🏼💕🍇🧀🥂

This one goes out to all the Covid Brides that have had to change their plans. @johnlegend couldn’t have said it better himself ‘𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶!💕

EDIT: I thought this board was a Cravings by Chrissy piece, but it turns out it was misplaced in my Target store. Still a great board, but not part of her collection! 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’ve got this one all 𝙵𝙸𝙶𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚍 out. Cheese, but make it fancy!
