Almost Vegan Peanut Butter Ice Cream Recipe via thepigandquill.com #dairyfree #eggfree #plantbased

Almost Vegan Peanut Butter Ice Cream — this dairy-free peanut butter ice cream is rich, creamy, scoopable right from the freezer and just three ingredients that you probably already have on hand. It’s the thing non-dairy ice cream recipe dreams are made of. It’s the night before the Presidential Election Of All Presidential Elections. The health of our nation, in so many more ways than one, is on the line in a big way, and I am craving a respite from all the questions that never should have been raised over the past four years. Science? No, friends. Science. Equality? … Read More

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

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

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

pumpkin pie milkshakes with pumpkin spice caramel and maple whip (df)

Let me first address the obvious here, because I bet someone out there is just itching to say it: a milkshake without dairy is not a true milkshake. I know this is the popular opinion, and even in my own heart, I know it to be true. But there’s something to be said for getting really, really, really close. And then taking some titular liberties. Ha. Titular. If you’ve been around this blog for any part of the autumn season before, you know it becomes kind of a squash and pumpkin show. I mean, I wouldn’t say I’m the biggest pumpkin (or even … Read More
