All of your Ireland recommendations last night, made me crave some 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘆 𝗜𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗣𝘂𝗯 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲. It’s no lie that I love a good, addictive cheese dip. Pub cheese is the kind of dip you want to put on everything. It is creamy in texture and nutty in flavor and would be the perfect shareable option for Labor Day or Game Day!

Check out the blog post on Rightbackspatula.com for the full recipe and tips for making this creamy cheesy dip. 😋

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

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%.”

What’s your stance on leftovers?? After a couple

What’s your stance on leftovers?? After a couple of nights of eating the same dinner, I need to switch things up. I repurposed the @skinnytaste Turkey Meatloaf into this 𝗟𝗲𝗳𝘁𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗳 𝗣𝗶𝘇𝘇𝗮! So easy, so tasty, and ready in exactly 2️⃣0️⃣ minutes! 😋

I normally make this pizza on mini naan rounds, but I’m out so I used a flatbread instead. It’s just as delicious and puts childhood bagel bites to shame. 🍕

If you don’t have leftover meatloaf laying around, frozen meatballs will work just as well.

Why choose between a salad and a board when you can make it both?

This panzanella salad board is perfect for stone fruit season. I shared 3 of my favorite bites, which one would you try first??

On this board:
+Base: Arugula and #traderjoes buttery croissant rosemary croutons
+ burrata
+ cherries 🍒
+ peaches 🍑
+ cherry tomatoes 🍅
+ prosciutto (I did a combo of ribbons and crumbled crispy prosciutto)
+Sprinkle with salt + pepper + hot pepper flakes
+Drizzle with olive oil
+Serve with balsamic glaze and/or pesto
+ toast up some crostini with olive oil and garlic powder to help achieve the tastiest bites
+ garnish with basil and oregano

***to serve this as an actual salad, I would slice smaller bites, serve in a bowl, and top with pulled pulled apart burrata.

Enjoy!!!

Who else loves the Fourth of July?? 🙌🏼 This

Who else loves the Fourth of July?? 🙌🏼 This is my favorite week of the year!! 🎆 Nothing beats a long weekend of pool parties and fireworks with family and friends!

❤️🤍💙

Here are some tips to make good ole classic American Flag cheese board of your own:

Start by making a square in the left corner using a mixture of blueberries and blackberries. Take a cookie cutter and cut out small stars using provolone (or any white) cheese.

Row 1: sliced strawberries
Row 2: yogurt pretzels
Row 3: red beet crackers from TJs
Row 4: Manchego cheese
Row 5: folded salami or pepperoni
Row 6: white cheddar cheese cubes
Row 7: fresh cherries

If you have a bigger platter, add more rows — odd numbers always work best.

Don’t forget to tag me in your boards so I can see your 4th of July creations!! 🇺🇸
