 This year, for me, seems to be defined by my comfort zone and its boundaries. I’ve been hungrily collecting those quotes, you know the ones, things like If it doesn’t scare you, it’s not worth the effort. And whatnot. Well, last weekend I taught my very first class ever – on the basics of food […] Erin - September 26, 2012 - 7:48 pm
I can’t say I’ve ever thought of putting pears and cocoa powder together before but these crisps look amazing. As for going after things you love-how awesome! I think sometimes it’s super scary to go after things that aren’t necessarily a “sure bet” but deep down feel like the right thing (currently experiencing that myself- what a ride!) la domestique - September 26, 2012 - 8:03 pm
The pears look so good, I can’t wait to give it a go (I’m putting together a post on chocolate pear tart for tonight- hey hey!) I feel you on the pushing out of your comfort zone thing. I was toying with the idea of teaching a food styling workshop and then one of my local readers sent me an email requesting it. Ok universe, I hear you. When I saw you did a workshop it was very encouraging. Here’s to growing and putting yourself out there! Stacy - September 26, 2012 - 8:40 pm
High five to you indeed!! Sounds like an excellent season. And these crisps, my goodness. I shall be picking up a few pears at the market this weekend! Ashlae - September 26, 2012 - 8:43 pm
High five for going after the things you love, indeed! And these cocoa pear crisps are just the excuse I needed to finally (!!!) purchase a mandoline. Kiran @ KiranTarun.com - September 26, 2012 - 10:05 pm
Good luck in your future endeavours! It already looks like an amazing journey :) And that crisps? Oh my! thecitygourmand - September 27, 2012 - 12:08 am
Wow, I love how the cocoa gives the crisps such a beautiful texture ;) Tine - September 27, 2012 - 12:27 am
Yum! Kathryn - September 27, 2012 - 1:34 am
I’m so glad you posted this recipe, I was so intrigued by the picture on instagram and they sound just as delicious as I expected and the pictures here are so striking. I’m so glad that you’ve had the chance to share your amazing photography talents with people; I know I learn so much every time I visit your site. Emma @ Poires au Chocolat - September 27, 2012 - 3:05 am
These look amazing – I can’t really imagine how pear crisps taste, but I can’t wait to find out. Especially as chocolate and pear is one of my favourite combinations! Also, looks like you did a wonderful job teaching – it’s such a rush to pass on what you know. Sasha - September 27, 2012 - 3:19 am
I just added pears to my grocery list so that I can make this. Like now. Or this afternoon. I love pears and I look forward to trying them in such an intriguing and unfamiliar form (baked! and with cocoa!). And a big high five for teaching a class and going after your passions! Dianne - September 27, 2012 - 3:41 am
What a wonderful item to use on a desert will add this to my must makes. Will try them tomorrow. Big thank you for the idea. thelittleloaf - September 27, 2012 - 5:29 am
What a wonderful idea. I love the combination of chocolate and pears and these look like a beautifully light version. Beautiful beautiful photos too. Ashley - September 27, 2012 - 6:41 am
I can completely relate about life being a string of exciting unknowns. I never thought that was the path for me. I always thought my role would be behind a desk doing architecture work until retirement. My how things have changed. It’s so great you decided to teach and share you amazing talents with others. I would have loved to attend! Oh yeah…the pears sound outstanding. Courtney - September 27, 2012 - 7:19 am
Congrats on teaching your first class! That’s an amazing accomplishment. This post couldn’t have come at a better time because I just inherited 29 lbs of pears and was trying to think of other ways to use them besides preserves and jams. Cocoa, ginger, and pears = yum! jamie smith - September 27, 2012 - 9:14 am
Kimberz, I’m so proud of you! I am thrilled that you have found work that you love and makes life juicy! How exciting, indeed. High five! Now, off to make some pear crisps! XO Jacqui - September 27, 2012 - 9:36 am
Congrats on your new venture! I’m sure you did an awesome job! And I was just thinking about making some pears crisps before I saw this; same wavelength. SG - September 27, 2012 - 10:10 am
High five lady! I was just looking at two pears in the kitchen and wondering if I should eat one. Looks like fate has stepped in – thank you! Nicole - September 27, 2012 - 11:02 am
Congrats on your first workshop and these pear crisps look great! I have also been looking at a lot of quotes like the one you mentioned, hello pinterest, and thinking constantly about taking the next steps. It’s nice to know someone like you feels the same way–thank you. Beth - September 27, 2012 - 11:07 am
Congratulations on teaching your first workshop. I’m quite familiar with the “holy crap, this is a scary thing I’m about to do feeling,” but I find it always precedes incredibly worthwhile endeavors. I’d never have thought to put together cocoa and pears, but these crisps look delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe! kickpleat - September 27, 2012 - 12:52 pm
Yay, congrats on teaching and jumping into the abyss! Always good to test boundaries and shake things up. I’m actually not a pear-lover (I’m a staunch pear-hater, actually), but these look really good. Drying them out into crisps would get rid of their mealy texture that I don’t like. Nicely done. Lottie @ Lottie's World of Cakes - September 27, 2012 - 2:40 pm
Wow, these look and sound great! What a fantastic idea! Hannah - September 27, 2012 - 9:49 pm
Yay, big high five! I’ll bet you were amazing (where was the class? SF? Let us know!) I saw the crisps come up on Food 52 and wasn’t convinced but you have swayed me. And I surely have enough pears coming in right now off our tree to try something new! Cheers to being brave, and to the things that comfort us behind the scenes of bravery :) ileana - September 28, 2012 - 9:07 am
These are lovely. Congrats on teaching your first class! Kasey - September 28, 2012 - 12:49 pm
Good for you for breaking out of the comfort zones! I think that’s when the great stuff tends to happen. Also, these crisps sound out of this world delicious. Riley - September 29, 2012 - 8:03 am
This is such a creative dish! Beautiful photos as well. Cara - September 29, 2012 - 10:59 am
Love the sound of this! Such a wonderful fall snack and so simple too. sara - September 29, 2012 - 11:43 pm
I’m so proud of you!!! The class looks like it went fabulously. You have so much to offer, wish I could have been there. You are a beautiful example of living on the edge. Go forth, lady. Oh, and the pears, amazing. Jocelyn Pascall - October 1, 2012 - 2:56 pm
These look incredible. I am totally pinning this for future consumption. Beautiful photos and nice work on the class! Usually it’s the things that scare us the most that are the most well-worth it. kale - October 1, 2012 - 5:20 pm
so pretty!! well done. :) Kathryne - October 1, 2012 - 6:38 pm
Hi five to that! Good for you, Kimberley. I’m sure I could have learned a lot from your class. I used to live near a health food store that sold dehydrated pears. Addictive! These look like cocoa-dusted homemade versions. shelley - October 2, 2012 - 6:43 pm
Hmmm. Pear crisps. That’s a new one on me, so guess what? People learned stuff. AGAIN! sarah - October 3, 2012 - 12:41 pm
Yeah, for you! Really, I love hearing of people over coming their reservations and fear, to do something they love. It’s so encouraging. And, oh! pears and cocoa! These are amazing. {I might replace the ginger with cardamom when I make them, ha. :) } MikeVFMK - October 3, 2012 - 3:16 pm
Yay for you. Breaking free from comfort is hard but rewards you. And I’m sure your students loved the time spent with you learning. Beautiful crisps, seems like the perfect response to what fall has to offer. Kelsey - October 4, 2012 - 10:27 am
I have a sticky note on the bathroom mirror that says “if you’re dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough.” Yay for big dreams, lady. Inspired. Rihanna’s Diamonds + Late Tuesday Links « Fashion in the Urban Jungle - October 9, 2012 - 5:38 pm

 I have been thinking a lot about this sentence: You spend the first half of your life running away from home and the second half trying to get back to home.

But I have a slightly different take on […] by Kimberley show hide 31 comments Erin - September 12, 2012 - 11:55 am
I tend to think big and a lot of that thinking has me running away from home but at the same time, I look forward to the day when I’m more stable and have a home to run to. Gorgeous photos and what a gorgeous place to run to during the summer! Kasey - September 12, 2012 - 11:58 am
Welcome home! I sometimes get confused when I travel because I end up missing stuff from home, even though I love traveling so much! I think it’s refreshing to return from a trip and feel like you’ve missed something. Those zucchini bread bites look awesome. melissa - September 12, 2012 - 12:38 pm
There’s something so peaceful about the mountains and nature, it soothes the soul. Lovely photos and recipe looks delis — making these tonight for sure! Brian @ A Thought For Food - September 12, 2012 - 12:41 pm
What a lovely reflection on home… I love traveling and being away from home and people. It definitely builds that connection to it. Jess - September 12, 2012 - 1:38 pm
i just returned from GNP myself and can already feel it pulling me back. what a lovely tradition to return annually. your beautiful pictures and words transported me back for a moment! alison - September 12, 2012 - 1:55 pm
This is such a beautiful way of looking at traveling and returning home again. I always look forward to our travels each summer, because I just know there is inspiration waiting beyond our city limits. The zucchini bites look wonderful, perfect for this time of year. So ready for fall baking to begin again! la domestique - September 12, 2012 - 1:56 pm
You are totally freaking my out with your wisdom here, because I have been terribly homesick for Arkansas, where I grew up. I’ve been thinking about how I seem to miss a lot of the things that I complained about (even the swampy heat and humidity!). I like your take on the saying, though. This time I’ve spent as an adult away from home has brought the important things into focus. By the way, the scenery in your photos is absolutely stunning. michelle - September 12, 2012 - 2:37 pm
looks good, not sure of some of the ingredients. can regular sugar be used?and cocoa powder Katherine Sacks - September 12, 2012 - 4:40 pm
Your trip looks and sounds amazing – what an incredible tradition! I think of home as wherever is special to you, and this place certainly is! And this recipe feels like home as well, bravo! sara - September 12, 2012 - 7:16 pm
i love your thoughts and the reasons why you leave..to go and refresh. you inspire me to do the same. to get away from everything that pulls on you. thanks for sharing these, your look gorgeous as expected. a pleasure to see you last weekend. so glad to know you, sweet girl. Megan Gordon - September 12, 2012 - 7:17 pm
Beautiful, beautiful photos, Kimberly! And gosh, these were going to be second up on my Sprouted Kitchen quest and you’ve just confirmed that needs to be so. Would be fun to make them with carrots! Hope all is well and you’re settling back in. xx from Seattle, mg Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar - September 12, 2012 - 7:41 pm
I would certainly run to Glacier if I lived nearby too! What a beautiful place! Hannah - September 12, 2012 - 9:09 pm
Beautiful photos! What a place, and what thoughtful reflections on your going and your return. Muffins look warm and tasty and perfect for the seasonal transition! I wouldn’t have gravitated to them but now they are one more from the book I’ll be sure to try … thanks :) Stacy - September 12, 2012 - 10:04 pm
Really lovely, Kimberley. I think you’re entirely right — that going away reminds us of why we love home. Having just moved from an old home to a new one, I’m not entirely sure what that means for me right now, but surely it has something to do with gratitude. And: I have been eying this recipe myself! Happy to know it’s a delicious one. Welcome home!! xo Sasha - September 13, 2012 - 2:02 am
I am just towards the end of Cheryl Strayed’s ‘Wild’ and your pictures and words have convinced me that I need to get far out of the city and feel just how big mountains and trees can be. That and I need to make these zucchini bread bites. I, too, associate zucchini bread with my childhood and more so than banana bread or cookies or any other homemade treat. And I love that with just a recipe we can go back to that feeling of home. NicoleD - September 13, 2012 - 9:45 am
This is so lovely, Kimberley. I think your escape to Montana every summer is a brilliant idea. Just seeing your photos, I feel so small. You’re a busy woman and your trip sounds like a wonderful way to find balance. Zucchini bread bites! Tiny bits of comfort, I’m sure. kickpleat - September 13, 2012 - 10:19 am
Kimberley, your photos are stunning. Could I please live in the first one? So idyllic and serene. As for running away, I always ran away from home and now that I’ve made a new home on my own terms, I agree that trips bring back a new perspective to home and how life is lived. This is a lovely post, zucchini bread bites included. phi - September 13, 2012 - 10:56 am
There’s an akron/family song for each lovely and sad moment of my life… Your photos are just simply amazing! Kimberley - September 13, 2012 - 11:10 am
Hi Michelle! To answer your question: I am a big fan of improvising and can only imagine that regular sugar would be fine. Though dark brown sugar might be better for its richer flavor. As for the cocoa powder, Sara explained in the book that non-alkalized cocoa powder reacts with baking soda to help baked goods rise – a good thing when using non-gluten flour. So I think that’s the reason for that choice. Hope that helps! Laura {gourmettenyc} - September 13, 2012 - 12:12 pm
What gorgeous photos, Kimberley! Your getaway looks idyllic. I too just got The Sprouted Kitchen cookbook and cannot wait to cook from it. Carla - September 13, 2012 - 12:30 pm
Hi! I love your blog and all the photos. Kristopher - Raleigh Weddings - September 13, 2012 - 12:50 pm

Yes. So exactly how I feel whenever I return from a backpacking trip – being out there is so good, but home is, too, just in a different way. These look delectable. charlotte au chocolat - September 14, 2012 - 1:39 am
I’m between homes right now, between continents. So interesting to notice the different things that pull us in one direction or the other. I’m reflecting on all of this in the tiniest village in the South of France, where I’m surrounded by nature. I love what you said about “be[ing] reminded of how unbelievably huge wilderness can be, and how lucky I am to witness it, and walk in it, and be a part of it.” Your images of Glacier are gorgeous. Kathryn - September 15, 2012 - 3:30 pm
One of the things that I’ve realised about growing up is that you gain a new appreciation for the things that make you feel at home (and that those things don’t actually have to be your home). Love Sara’s book and this recipe has been calling my name for a while now. Riley - September 16, 2012 - 6:45 pm
These zucchini bites look so yummy! Sally - September 18, 2012 - 1:15 pm
Do you think I could substitute rolled oats for quinoa flakes? I live in a teeny remote Alaska town with no quinoa flakes within a thousand miles. Kimberley - September 19, 2012 - 2:54 pm
@Sally! That’s a great question. Rolled oats are larger than quinoa flakes, so it won’t be the same, but I think it’s worth a try! Fingers crossed for great results! Ashley - September 24, 2012 - 7:37 am
Wow. Absolutely stunning photos and love the bite sized recipe! I always leave your blog feeling inspired in both food + photography! Michael - October 2, 2012 - 1:17 pm
Perspective is a very powerful thing. Like relieving a strained muscle that has been flexed for what may seem like hours, returning home can feel so refreshing and relaxing. Montana has a power like few other places and Glacier reigns supreme over all of its beauty. It has rightfully earned the name “The Crown of the Continent”. John Steinbeck said it best: “I’m in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love. And it’s difficult to analyze love when you’re in it.” Great work Kimberly. more than ready | Delightful Crumb - September 13, 2012 - 11:59 pm

 In keeping with my epic summer goals, last weekend was spent in Yosemite. One could argue that it was work-related, sort of: I made some breakfast burritos for this week’s Etsy post, and those needed to be field-tested by hungry folks who had come from a long day of hiking and climbing. This week I’ve […] by Kimberley show hide 26 comments Kathryn - June 15, 2012 - 12:47 pm
Gorgeous pictures, love that one of Yosemite. And grilled fruits are one of my favourite things, I love when they get slightly charred and caramelised. SG - June 15, 2012 - 1:10 pm
You inspire me so much! Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar - June 15, 2012 - 1:10 pm
What a perfect summer treat! Delicious! kankana - June 15, 2012 - 1:13 pm
Yosemite is so beautiful and every season it offers something different. I love grilled reaches and this post reminds me, I have some in the pantry! May be tonight :) Megan Gordon - June 15, 2012 - 1:19 pm
Love everything about this. And…today we FINALLY have sun in Seattle. Wheeee Stacy - June 15, 2012 - 2:10 pm
Kimberley, I love the simplicity of this post and the recipe. Still waiting for peaches here in Michigan, but now I have yet another thing to long for — and with something so good to anticipate, that is not a bad thing at all! Carry on with those epic summer goals!! sara - June 15, 2012 - 2:15 pm

Goat cheese ice cream?! That exists?! I must find some immediately. Brilliant simplicity here, Kimberley, it just doesn’t get better than this. Love the aqua blue bowl, too, and I’m so glad you had a great time at Yosemite! ileana - June 17, 2012 - 5:57 am

 Last week, one of my goals driving home was to gather enough elderflowers to make something – a syrup, perhaps, or an infused vodka.

The small tree is […] by Kimberley show hide 33 comments Kristin - May 15, 2012 - 10:58 pm
I’ve been making elderflower syrup for the past few years from the trees that grow in my yard in Ireland. My favorite way to use it is in some Prosecco to make an elderflower Bellini – summer in a glass. I also made a syrup from the elderberries last autumn for the first time, which was lovely too. I love how versatile syrups are. Brian @ A Thought for Food - May 16, 2012 - 5:19 am
So fascinating! I don’t think I’ve ever seen elderflower and it is stunning! erin - May 16, 2012 - 6:07 am

Elderflower syrup will forever remind me of living in Ireland. At the right time of year, elderflowers blossoms are everywhere. Ancient Celtic legends link the elder tree with magic – it’s known as the ‘fairy tree.’ Which is only appropriate, since elderflower, in both looks and taste, is nothing if not enchanting – just look at your pictures for proof of that! la domestique - May 16, 2012 - 7:04 am
Elderflower really speaks my language, I love its femininity and intoxicating floral aroma. My favorite is an elderflower infused cocktail. Cheers! Lynda - May 16, 2012 - 7:59 am
We always made elderflower syrup in Denmark, and I would love to make my own again here, but have not stumbled upon the flowers – yet. Cookie and Kate - May 16, 2012 - 8:01 am

I love this so much. The idea of foraging gorgeous elderflowers and of having homemade syrup for summertime cocktails. Just lovely. autumn - May 18, 2012 - 3:16 am

Oh, we have this Pimm’s cocktail recipe where we add elderflower syrup, a fat pinch of salt and drop in a few raspberries into the cup. Its like a cup of heaven in summer! Kelsey - May 19, 2012 - 2:12 pm
This is so awesome. I’ve had it on my list to recreate a cocktail I had a few weeks ago at one of our favorite restaurants down here, it’s called the “King Collins” and it’s made with Hendrick’s Gin, elderflower syrup, the juice of one lemon, cucumber, and a splash of sparkling water. Try it! Seriously bomb. Beth {local milk} - May 19, 2012 - 4:18 pm

I love elderflower as a syrup, fritters, anything at all with that delicious smell! My mom has a neat trick for separating the flowers from the stems. She stores the clusters of flowers in a nylon bag for a day, then she simply shakes each stem and the flowers fall right off. Mary - June 26, 2012 - 6:25 am
Can you tell me why I can’t use the flowers from the elderberry bush (blacklace)? It’s a red leafed variety of elderberry. Kimberley - June 26, 2012 - 7:36 am

 It’s that time of year. The evenings are stretching out and I find myself relaxing with the knowledge that it won’t be dark at 6 pm, or even 7. This lends itself to long walks with Beach House on repeat, mental reminders to appreciate that shade of blue Joan Didion was so enamored with, glasses […] by Kimberley show hide 56 comments Stephanie @ okie dokie artichokie - May 1, 2012 - 5:59 pm
This looks pretty damn perfect on a summer’s eve. Light and refreshing and gorgeous to boot! Love everything about it. BTW, people buy light coconut milk? lol… Brian @ A Thought For Food - May 1, 2012 - 6:00 pm
First of all, I was on your site maybe 5 minutes ago, wondering if you had written a new post. And now here it is! Thank goodness for Facebook, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have checked back for a few more days. I did see the post on Sprouted Kitchen and I’ve been anxious to make it ever since I came across it. I’ve been on a coconut milk kick recently and I just know that it would make for the most wonderful popsicle (or ice cream) base. And, from the look of these pictures, it was a huge success. Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar - May 1, 2012 - 6:25 pm
These look so awesome. I’m seriously going to try these this week! Heather @opgastronomia - May 1, 2012 - 7:05 pm
I’m melting. These look amazing! sarah - May 1, 2012 - 7:11 pm
Oh! Beautiful! They look incredible. {and you added cardamom. my heart is yours.} I can’t wait to make these. Cookie and Kate - May 1, 2012 - 7:24 pm
Oh man, these popsicles look so perfect for a warm, muggy day like today. Brilliant! This may be the final nudge I needed to buy a popsicle mold. I love me some warm summer nights with Beach House! leela - May 1, 2012 - 7:29 pm
oh baby these look good! charlotte au chocolat - May 1, 2012 - 7:39 pm
these look so gorgeous! I must get into making popsicles ASAP. Stacy - May 1, 2012 - 7:54 pm
These are gorgeous, and sound delicious… Like summertime itself. Jeanine - May 1, 2012 - 8:01 pm
so pretty, I can’t wait to make these! I heart summer… sara - May 1, 2012 - 9:48 pm
it always comes to this. I am painfully reminded that i do not have a popsicle mold and I NEED one! They look so delicious and I feel like they’re easier to eat in popsicle form. Gorgeous photos, my friend! Sharyn Dimmick - May 2, 2012 - 7:00 am
Mmm, cardamom. Great addition to coconut popsicles. I’d mix the strawberries in though — don’t like chunks in my ice cream. Katherine - May 2, 2012 - 7:02 am
These have me wishing for hot summer days! New York has been weirdly chilly! Delicious as always! Iris - May 2, 2012 - 7:12 am
These look so good! I desperately want to start making popsicles, but it’s still cold here in NY arghhh NicoleD - May 2, 2012 - 7:26 am
Gorgeous!! I am all intoxicated with spring right now, but this is making me long for summer! I HAVE to roast some strawberries. I’m so behind on that trend. la domestique - May 2, 2012 - 8:13 am
I can’t wait to try these- and there’s cardamom, my favorite spice! I will never turn down ice cream. Megan Gordon - May 2, 2012 - 9:30 am
Holy beauties. These look wonderful! I feel like we’re not quite in popsicle mode here in Seattle yet, but I’m really, really sensing that it’s on its way. xox!(and why have I NEVER made roasted strawberries? What’s wrong with me?) Melissa // thefauxmartha - May 2, 2012 - 9:58 am
Roasted strawberry anything, I’m game. These look perfect for summer! SG - May 2, 2012 - 2:59 pm

Roasted strawberries seem to be all the rage this spring! These look amazing. Photo inspiration at its finest! kickpleat - May 2, 2012 - 5:43 pm
I roasted berries last summer and spooned them over yogurt (all berries are great roasted!) I love the look of these beauts!! So making these…you know, when popsicle weather heads north. kale - May 3, 2012 - 12:46 am
What a great product of inspiration! Love that photo of the roasted strawberries. Cara - May 3, 2012 - 6:23 am
I knew there was a reason I needed to buy some popsicle molds! These are gorgeous :) Culinary School: Three Semesters of Life, Learning, and Loss - May 4, 2012 - 10:40 am
One of my culinary school chefs said “we eat with our eyes.” He would have loved your scrumptious popsicle. As do I! Marissa | Pinch and Swirl - May 4, 2012 - 12:11 pm

these look delicious, and so simple. can you tell me where you’ve found popsicle molds this shape? i’ve not seen them. and, any reason you couldn’t substitute, say peaches? Candace - May 24, 2012 - 11:03 pm
These look amazing! Which popsicle molds did you use? I am looking on amazon and a lot of reviews complain about having a hard time getting them out of the molds. Linda - June 1, 2012 - 8:53 am
I can’t imagine a more luxurious popsicle flavor than roasted strawberry & coconut. Must make. Along with avocado, cantaloupe, watermelon mojito, and thai iced tea! shirley cox - June 24, 2012 - 2:54 pm
looks delisicious becky - June 27, 2012 - 6:01 pm
okay 2 things….1st why not “light” coconut milk? I have a can I bought @ trader joes. 2nd where did you find that popsicle mold? Im looking for that shape & its impossible to find! thanks! becky s. - June 27, 2012 - 6:02 pm

I almost don’t know what to say about these popsicles they look A-maze-ing! Love, love, love that you roasted the strawberries! Dwayne Carter - March 26, 2013 - 11:58 am
Hello, I work at Yoga Journal magazine. We are doing a story on fruit popsicles for our June issue. We love the 4th photo of this post. The one with the dark background with the popsicles stacked. We would love to use this for our popsicle page. Could we use this photo? We can pay for it. We would need the hi res version as soon as we can get it to us as we are on deadline. The one we lined bp before fell through at the last minute. Thanks so much! Cheers Su - May 14, 2013 - 11:59 pm
