Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad with White Miso Vinaigrette and Soy Sauce Eggs — A hearty, satisfying salad full of crunchy texture and loads of flavor thanks to a tangy-sweet dressing and a topping of deeply savory soy sauce marinated eggs. Yep, the always conspicuous…and News! so we’ll get to that first. Today, I’m completely humbled to announce something that’s been in the works for a while over here. Something that’s been both a labor of love and a rite of passage, of sorts, as we continue to settle into this Coastside community that’s so quickly become the warm, fuzzy hometown … Read More

60-minute (mini) thanksgiving: mayo-roasted chicken wings, cranberry and spice brussel sprouts + pumpkin-pecan stuffing

60-minute (Mini) Thanksgiving: Mayo-Roasted Chicken Wings, Cranberry + Spice Brussel Sprouts and Pumpkin-Pecan Stuffing with Cheddar + Thyme // the pig & quill // #thanksgiving #holiday #fall #recipe

Holy freaking (American) Thanksgiving is in two weeks. I say that like I’m telling you something, I realize. Like you don’t know that for yourself. But that’s only because things like calendar events tend to get away from me, so I need subtle reminders — like Target swapping bins of Reese’s ghosts for motorized Lazy Susans topped with shiny plastic trees — to shake me out of my “it’s squash season but let’s pretend it’s still summer” daydream. So just to be clear: I know you know it’s almost Turkey Time. But I’m gonna go ahead and keep freaking out. Fortunately — and … Read More

Grilled Brussel Sprouts with Jalapeno-Honey Aioli

Can I let you guys in on a little secret? Maybe you already know. I’m guessing you do. It kind of has to do with you. All of you. Y’all of you. YOU LOVE BRUSSEL SPROUTS. You do. Or at least you like to read about ’em. It’s true. Proven even. By the important people. (You know, Google and WordPress and Pinterest number-crunching people.) Ain’t no shame, I love them, too. And they’re kind of hot right now, so we should be feeling really good about ourselves for being so on-trend. As in, if neon is the new black, brussies … Read More

Coconut-Pecan Brussie Salad with Fried Onions & Fruity Balsamic

(Update: Well, it’s true that I’m currently flying, but now I’m en route back to CA. Posting this a couple days late because I wanted to be sure you guys got a glimpse at Joel’s Oscar popcorn post in time for the big night! Happy Oscars!) Pigs are flying! And not just because you never thought that you’d see the words coconut, pecan and brussie in the same sentence. I mean, maybe you were hoping you’d never see the word brussie again after I posted two BR recipes almost back-to-back a few weeks ago…but that matters none. What matters is that … Read More

Smoky Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Lemon & Parm

I gotta tell ya, I was really feeling like starting this post off with an overused acronym like OMG or TGIF and then stopped myself. Because ICBMO (I can be more original), right? But really, that’s how I’m feeling — short on words and big on bursts of emotion because oh my goodness it IS Friday and I AM thanking God. I’m so ready to snap on my skis and hit up some mediocre pow this weekend that it’s not even funny. Gnar to the extreme. Rip, shred, dude-bro, it’s gonna be epic. Wow, can you imagine if I spoke … Read More
