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

Sweet-tart homemade cranberry sherbet topped with effervescent DASANI® Sparkling Lime for a seasonal take on a classic soda fountain sherbet freeze. This post has been sponsored by The Coca Cola Company. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I grew up down the street from an old-fashioned soda fountain. I spent countless afternoons there in middle school and high school, tucked away in the back booth with the same squad of girlfriends, giggling about boys and admiring each other’s iridescent manicures. For nearly every Friday of my freshman and sophomore year, I ordered the same thing: Cherry Amaretto, in a … Read More

15-min roasted cranberry compote (via thepigandquill.com) #thanksgiving #recipe #vegan #refinedsugarfree

Hey luvvvvvs! SUPER quick post today to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving week and to quickly share just how thankful I am for everything this year has delivered (heh) — but also for this little space and the friends I’ve made hanging out here. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again (and again): I so love the exchanges that take place both here on the blog and across social media and am truly tickled to know that folks actually set aside a few moments of your busy weeks to hear what I’ve got to say (particularly since it’s most often … 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

Sweet Potato & Green Bean Salad with Maple-Mustard Dressing

{Reminder: our Saucy Mama Giveaway is open until June 29th! Win three mustards, or just take advantage of the P&Q coupon code. Have you entered yet?} In the past 96 hours, I’ve eaten pizza. I’ve eaten pastrami. I’ve eaten burgers and fries and snappy-skinned hot dogs that, while delicious, no amount of papaya juice can make go down easily. I’ve had pork belly upon pork belly upon pork belly: on sandwiches, in soup and in a salad that showcases one of the tastiest flavor combos I’ve tried. I’ve had cookies and ice cream and caramels and, ohhhhh the coffee drinks. … Read More

Recipes: Cranberry muff stuffers n’ veggies (aka Friendsgiving)*

One of my more cynical friends and charmingly resistant readers suggested part of the title for this post after partaking in the cranberry stuffing muffins written up below. Because why refer to something as a stuffing muffin when you can instead turn to the prose that is muff stuffer? It’s really quite excellent in its inappropriateness. But then I suppose me referring to anyone else on this Earth as inappropriate would be the very definition of kettle-pot name-calling. I digress. On Monday, Chris and I had a few friends over to to celebrate a bit of an impromptu Friendsgiving complete … Read More
