✨𝙂𝙄𝙑𝙀𝘼𝙒𝘼𝙔 ✨ Y’all p

Word on the street is that it’s #NationalPumpkin

Word on the street is that it’s #NationalPumpkinDay so with that, I give you these cute pumpkin shaped cinnamon rolls!

All you need is 1 package of @pillsbury cinnamon rolls and some food coloring! Before baking, unroll the end of each cinnamon roll to form a stem for the pumpkin. Separate your icing into 2 small bowls (you obviously need more orange) and add your food coloring!

These are so fun to make for the kiddos on Halloween or anytime during the fall season! 🎃🧡 Enjoy!!

If y’all make these this weekend don’t forget to tag me @rightbackspatula!!

Witch way to the wine because this board was a lot

Witch way to the wine because this board was a lot of work and this ghoul doesn’t even like Halloween🧙🏼‍♀️🎃👻🍷

My first ever Halloween board!! Halloween is my least favorite holiday, but I have to admit this board was really fun to make! I used @halfbakedharvest witch hat cheese ball as my inspiration for the theme of this board, but decided to make mini witch hats instead. Can’t forget the brooms and a cauldron to go along with the theme.
:
I hope this gives y’all some inspo for boards next weekend!! What’s your favorite detail about this board??

Let’s talk cheese boards! 🧀 Throwing it back

Let’s talk cheese boards! 🧀 Throwing it back to my fall board from last year as I wrap up the planning for my fall board(s) for this year. Here are a few of my tips for creating boards of your own...

1. Cookie cutters are underrated. Use them to create shapes and dimension! Take this acorn for example... it’s simple, but festive.
2. Try to stick to like colors so everything ties together!
3. If you’re hosting an event, don’t be afraid to build off your board. It’s okay to build on top of linens or tabletops. In fact, I think this helps brings boards to life and makes them the focal point of a spread!

Happy board making!! Don’t forget to share your creations and tag @rightbackspatula on Instagram!

If you’re feeling fancy, you could add frosting!

Mix it all up. Bake in a 350 degree oven for ~20 minutes (mini muffins) ~28 minutes regular muffins or until a toothpick comes out clean!

Aloha!! 👋🏼 There are some new faces around here so allow me to introduce myself. I’m Colleen, the Gal behind @rightbackspatula!

In a normal year, I spend many long weekends jet setting around the country to visit friends and eat/drink my way through new cities! Palm Springs was one of my favorite vacations with some of the best memories to date! 🌴 Once life gets back to normal, I plan on incorporating more of my trips into my blog!
:
Speaking of Palm Springs, @southwestair opened up flights to Palm Springs TODAY. It’s only appropriate to throw it back to my 2019 when I went to visit @brettthaman and share some photos from our trip. But it doesn’t stop there...

I just published a guide on my blog on how to eat and drink your way through Palm Springs! Click the link in my bio to go directly to the post or search “𝒫𝒶𝓁𝓂 𝒮𝓅𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓈” on my blog!

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!
