Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting | Gluten-Free
Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting — a rich, not-too-sweet autumn cake topped with a classic cream cheese frosting and nutty, coconut-almond granola. Gluten-free. Monday! Hope you had a good weekend, friends. We had friends in town for the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival, after which we carved pumpkins for our own front porch and filled our bellies with crusty, grilled cheese sandwiches dunked in big bowls of my favorite Buttered Miso-Tomato Soup. This week I prep for an upcoming trip to Hong Kong (HK! I’m immensely excited for dumplings/toast/high tea/Hello Kitty cafes – please send recs for any/all!), … Read More
Oat-Free Coconut Almond Granola | Grain-Free + Vegan
Incredibly simple, this Oat-Free Coconut Almond Granola is also oil-free and refined sugar-free, and it’s delicious over yogurt, as a salad topping, atop your favorite frosted cake, or just for snacking.

And hey new guys and gals that might have recently joined in on this crazy ol’ stroll through Pig & Quill shenaniganry. It’s amazing how much traffic a little fresh Foodgawker coverage can bring over the course of a couple of days, isn’t it? Pretty phenomenal, if you ask me. I know you didn’t ask me, but when has that ever stopped me? Right. So. Seriously, thanks for stopping by my crumb-y little corner of the innernet, … Read More
Chocolate Banana Muffins (Gluten-Free)
You guys know I’m not a baker. I mean, I can do it. I have done it. But I don’t always have patience for the precision required for true blue baking, and I’m constantly disappointed when I tinker the shit out of a recipe and then it doesn’t work out. It’s a gamble. I should know the odds. (If you can imagine, I’m not a great sport at gambling. I’ll lose $40 on slots and spend the remainder of the weekend sulking about the number of clearance t-shirts and fancy toasts I could have spent it on instead. Woe is … Read More
