The Reverse Affogato (aka the best coffee shop espresso at home)

The Reverse Affogato recipe: dark espresso with vanilla bean foam aka my favorite coffee shop espresso at home (via thepigandquill.com) #cappucino #coffeedrink

Meet the Reverse Affogato — dark, rich espresso topped with luscious vanilla bean foam. The perfect coffee shop espresso at home. This holiday season has thrown us so many curveballs. First, we spent nearly two full weeks indoors due to the windblown smoke from Northern California’s wildfires. We baked and built forts and dance partied and worked our way through our entire collection of vinyl several times, but at some point, the novelty wears off. And then, a power outage struck the night before Thanksgiving with a pie in the oven, sherbet chilling in the freezer and a 13-lb brisket … Read More

Cranberry Sherbet Freezes (Dairy-Free)

Cranberry Sherbet Freezes recipe (via thepigandquill.com) #dairyfree #homemadesherbet #holidaydessert #drinks

For nearly every Friday of my freshman and sophomore year, I ordered the same thing: Cherry Amaretto, in a … Read More

But on Thursday, we’re hosting Thanksgiving for the first time since we moved back to California, and I’m ready to spoil the family that has kept our spirits afloat despite the leaden cloak of cancer with love in the form I know best: food. But rather than sharing our holiday dinner plans here (no matter how much I love the word spatchcock, I’m in … Read More

Honey-Lime Watermelon Floats

Honey-Lime Watermelon Floats recipe (via the pigandquill.com) #icecream #dessert #summer

It’s October. Or as Lana has taken to saying, “it’s almost Halloweeeeeeeen tiiiiiiiiime!” (Followed, always, by “the scary guys are just pretend, Mom. The scary guys are just pretend.” Thank you, sweet babe.) So here we are, officially entering into that love/hate time of year where, for procrastinators like me, shit either happens RIGHTTHISMINUTE or gets nudged happily into “early Q1 // happy face // talk soon!,” which would almost explain why I’m pushing a fruity summer float when pumpkins should be springing outta my bum. But as much as this post is, indeed, about my procrastination (as in, I … Read More
