 Hello, friends. I’m writing from a motel in a truck stop along the I-5, somewhere in central California. I think I’ve mentioned before my fondness for little respites in places most people think of as nowhere. Because sometimes what I need is a little heat, an uninterrupted sky, and a swimming pool. And I’ve got... Brian @ A Thought For Food - May 8, 2012 - 3:10 pm
Those quail eggs are so beautiful! Looks like we’re both on the road a lot recently! Hope you’re doing well! Pamela - May 8, 2012 - 3:17 pm
Lovely pictures, agreed – the quail eggs are beautiful. My next question was going to be the taste, but you answered that already, thank you. :D) Eileen - May 8, 2012 - 3:28 pm
Egg and greens on good toast is one of my favorite combinations. Lovely! Tinabobina99 - May 8, 2012 - 3:45 pm
I’m off to the store to get fava greens, or spinach if they don’t have it. This really does sound so refreshing! Thanks for sharing. Lynda - May 8, 2012 - 4:08 pm
I envy your trip. And those eggs and greens look magnificent. Nicole @Eat This Poem - May 8, 2012 - 4:15 pm
The quail eggs are gorgeous! And amen to simplicity, too. Jeanine - May 8, 2012 - 4:53 pm
I don’t think anyone else could make a motel truck stop look so dreamy! :) Katie - May 8, 2012 - 6:12 pm
I didn’t know you could eat fava greens! I’m glad to find out, as I have a whole mess of fava beans growing in the garden. charlotte au chocolat - May 8, 2012 - 7:12 pm
hope you enjoy your vacation (even if you are working)! Heat, endless skies and a pool sound pretty wonderful to me! Ms. T - May 8, 2012 - 7:15 pm
Sigh. These photos are a feast and a vacation for my eyes. Thank you for sharing your postcard from nowhere. ileana - May 8, 2012 - 8:22 pm
I just bought quail eggs this weekend, and we had them for dinner last night on a breakfast pizza. Thanks for this toast idea. By the way, I have some pheasant eggs, too. Any ideas for those? la domestique - May 8, 2012 - 8:50 pm
Love me some quail eggs. They have a way of making toast and greens feel special. Good luck wrapping up your project, and enjoy the sun! Anna @ the shady pine - May 8, 2012 - 10:28 pm
Love your pictures! The quail eggs are stunning little gems! Sasha - May 9, 2012 - 1:58 am
And what a motel, what a sky, what a setting! I have a feeling that the picture with the palm reflection is going to be in my head for a while. It is achingly beautiful. There is just something about quail eggs. There is a restaurant in Mumbai that uses quail eggs instead of hen eggs in their salad nicoise which I thought always made the salad slightly more elegant, slightly more special. You’ve inspired me to go pick some up to slightly bedazzle my breakfast. Carrie | acookgrowsinbrooklyn - May 9, 2012 - 6:26 am
I’m a sucker for a soft boiled egg with a runny yolk. I have never come across fava greens – I wonder what they taste like? Sarah - May 9, 2012 - 7:05 am
I was JUST talking to someone about quail eggs. How beautiful. And married with one of my favorite meals: greens on toast. This is my kind of dish, Kimberley! leela - May 9, 2012 - 7:49 am
yum! so glad you are clearing your head for your big project. Gastrofine - May 9, 2012 - 7:57 am
I have actually never worked with quail eggs before, but they look incredible. Love the flavor combination here. Think I might try it and add some paper thin slices of red onion as well. Iris - May 9, 2012 - 8:18 am
I love quail eggs and have not had them in sooo long. Inspired to go find some! Hannah - May 9, 2012 - 11:11 am
I want to hear about your big project with rich, generously flavored food! I hope there’s a ‘reveal’ soon. And, of course, lovely post. Love me a runny yolk, I do. SG - May 10, 2012 - 7:06 pm

 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 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 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

 Let’s just get this out of the way: I had never made granola before last weekend! Whether it’s because I was rejecting my early hippie years or because I am more a fan of savory breakfasts, who knows. Perhaps a bit of both. But lately, I’ve been hankering for sweet things at breakfast. And there’s... by Kimberley show hide 24 comments leela - April 24, 2012 - 1:13 pm
isn’t granola so F-IN good?!!! your version looks bombay. Stephanie @ okie dokie artichokie - April 24, 2012 - 1:17 pm
Making granola is honestly one of my favorite things to do. I only learned it last year but after you get the gist of it, it’s so easy (and fun!) to create your own blends. Have fun! NicoleD - April 24, 2012 - 1:50 pm
Yes! It is the perfect thing for pantry odds and ends! I make a similar version and it so nice to have on hand. Grade B maple syrup is my favorite, too. Maria - April 24, 2012 - 2:27 pm
Homemade granola is the best. Love your coconut version! Kasey - April 24, 2012 - 2:32 pm
Say what?! I think I have probably eaten 100 times my weight in granola. I love throwing together a big bowl of oats, nuts, spices, and sweetners, and letting that aroma fill my house. There’s seriously nothing better! sara - April 24, 2012 - 2:43 pm
kindred spirits. I am always a savory bfast girl as well. Until i have a hankering for either granola or almond meal pancakes on the weekends. Now that you’ve mastered it, I think you’ll find it’s not just a bfast item, its the late afternoon snack, or something to seal the deal after a light dinner…pretty fabulous stuff and SO much better than store bought. ANxious to try your version! Erica Julson - April 24, 2012 - 3:02 pm
Couldn’t agree more about the strawberries. Cal State LA had their first organic CSA drop on campus today and the strawberries were ahhhhmazing. I like the cardamom in your granola :) Megan Gordon - April 24, 2012 - 3:42 pm
That’s my girl, using olive oil in the granola! Right on — looks awesome! Adrianna from A Cozy Kitchen - April 24, 2012 - 4:00 pm
I love making granola. And you’re right–it’s awesome for those half empty bags of stuff you have hanging in your pantry. I love olive oil granola, too. So awesome. Lynda - April 24, 2012 - 4:09 pm
I’ve lately taken to making my own granola, and I am not going back! Sharyn Dimmick - April 24, 2012 - 4:15 pm
Cardamom in granola! I, too, am a grade B syrup fan. Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar - April 24, 2012 - 4:25 pm
This granola sounds so yummy! Awesome idea! Brian @ A Thought For Food - April 24, 2012 - 7:29 pm
There are quite a few of us out there who are just jumping on the granola bandwagon and I’m so glad you have joined the crew too! Katherine @ La Vita Cucinare - April 25, 2012 - 4:49 am
You’ve never made granola! Well your first batch looks pretty delicious! My personal favorite additions are orange juice and zest, dark brown sugar, and for a splurge, marcona almonds. Yum yum! sarah - April 25, 2012 - 2:04 pm
My kids eat granola like crazy, and I usually just make a simple maple-cinnamon version. But I love that you added cardamom! and pistachios! and olive oil! I might have to make a grown-up version for my breakfast. :) Laura - April 25, 2012 - 2:36 pm
I probably eat too much granola. Breakfast, snacks, pre-dinner, it’s all too applicable throughout the day. The act of making it is pretty satisfying too. Nay to the supermarket junky cereals, homemade granola is always within our grasp. LOVE that pistachio addition of yours too. Dramatic Pancake - April 25, 2012 - 6:43 pm
Carbs, coconut and maple – that is seriously all I need! I have a pantry filling up with odds and ends as we speak (almost everything on the list!) and I think I found what to do with them :) Kettle Confections - April 26, 2012 - 12:44 pm
Wow, I didn’t know granola was just grains, nuts baked in a herbed sweet syrup/olive oil mixture – I need to make my own, I like my granola with extra spices! asian catering brisbane - April 27, 2012 - 1:56 am
I was thinking it is more complicated to make. This looks good and simple, i dont need a lot of time wich is very important to me. Juice - April 27, 2012 - 2:41 pm
MMMMMMMMMM!This looks like my late-night snack! thefrancofly.wordpress.com - April 28, 2012 - 10:34 am
Great idea! My parents live in Turkey and I frequently receive tremendous packages of dried figs, brown Turkish apricots and pistachios. I’ve been chopping them up and adding them to oats, sunflower, and hemp seeds to make my own mix of muesli. Much like your granola recipe, but minus a step. thefrancofly.wordpress.com kickpleat - April 30, 2012 - 12:52 pm
I try to make granola once a week – it’s so easy, right? Just watch it so it doesn’t burn. I rarely use a recipe unless I’m trying out one for the blog. Yum, this one sounds perfect. LP @dishclips - May 2, 2012 - 5:12 pm
Great breakfast recipe. Very nice! Irvin @ Eat the Love - May 7, 2012 - 3:11 am
Ha! Looks like you and I are both on the same path, as I hadn’t made granola my entire life, until about a month ago, and now my partner and I am obsessed with homemade type. Yours looks awesome, and pretty close to mine (including the addition of cardamom!), though I don’t add coconut, and use dried cherries instead of currants. I also add an egg white to help bind the granola as I like my granola chunky. The questions I have, now that I have discovered the wonders of homemade granola is 1. What took me so long, and 2. Why the heck is store bought granola so FRIGGIN’ expensive?!?! Never going to buy it again, now that I can make it at home for a fraction of the price.

Mega congrats on the Saveur nomination, Kimberley! You are such good company. I’m 100% with you on this post—planes are my favorite spots for thinking (long car rides, bike rides and walks are also great). Something about looking out the window at high speeds seems to get my thoughts moving. I’ve also recognized the need to shut down the computer and I’m craving a real vacation, from life and technology. Can’t wait to listen to Jonah speak about creativity, thanks for sharing!

It’s so true – I figured out what I wanted for my next big project while on an unplugged camping trip last summer. Ever since then if I’m working on something important or just start to feel overwhelmed, I try to give myself a little time with no computer, no NPR (even though I love it!) and it really works. I love your blog as well, congrats! Someday I hope my food photos look like yours. :) And, thanks for the rice crackers! We hit the road again soon and these would be great to have along. Megan Gordon - April 5, 2012 - 10:26 pm
You rock, lady! Congrats on the nomination — much deserved. So glad you got a chance to head to IACP; I was sad to miss it this year and heard it was especially worthwhile (SF next year!)I will check out this Lehrer talk … I’ve actually been baking granola without music lately to just let me mind wander wherever it pleases. Agreed: strangely liberating. It’s just hard these days to find a noise-less minute (technology noise, co-worker noise etc.).

I connected with this post so much. I’ve been making myself do that more and more – leave the camera and computer alone, and be present. It’s been good for the soul.

Such a nice twist for a regular recipe. Love it! And about your kitchen – it might have more charm than you think ;) We’re always so critical of the place we live in. Brianne - March 27, 2012 - 3:12 pm
I loved getting a peek into your kitchen today! My kitchen is also a wonky rental kitchen with ugly wood paneled cabinets, but boy, am I ever envious of the massive amount of light you have to work with. You do such beautiful things with it! Elizabeth @ Saffron Lane - March 27, 2012 - 3:56 pm
So fun to get a glimpse into the space where the magic happens! ;-) I don’t have a big, glamorous kitchen either, but I tend to believe there are so many overlooked efficiencies in a cozy kitchen. And, as so many have already said — that natural light! I’d pay good money for that alone. These eggs are quite darling, too. la domestique - March 27, 2012 - 4:09 pm
The eggs are so pretty and I really enjoyed your feature in the kitchn! I especially loved your mish mash collection of jars for holding pantry ingredients (I do the same). Maybe there’s some beauty in our imperfection? Way to put yourself out there, lady! Jacqui - March 27, 2012 - 5:23 pm

I’m amazed that you achieved such a brilliant pink color without using dyes! Way to go. I loved getting a peak at your kitchen yesterday. Mine is tiny, dark and ugly, which is why you never see it in my photos! Someday we’ll have kitchens with lots of light and marble countertops, I just know it. :) Dramatic Pancake - March 28, 2012 - 9:34 am
Like everyone else here, I really enjoyed your profile on the kitchn. It is nice to see I’m not the only one with a “real” kitchen, which definitely isn’t stopping you from producing amazing food! Honestly, I thought the space was pretty darn charming – thank you so much for sharing! :) patricia @ orange zest productions - March 28, 2012 - 11:53 am
Loving the purple, brilliant! And bravo for your immense confidence in sharing your work space, a true testament that doing wht you love requires little else than the craft itself. It’s all magic…. NicoleD - March 29, 2012 - 12:41 pm
I know exactly what you mean because most of us aren’t cooking in our dream kitchens. I love the peek inside of your space and these beautiful eggs! I try to find the beauty in things and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, either. It’s optimism, right? Bethany - March 29, 2012 - 1:30 pm
As a foodie with a kitchen that is MUCH smaller, darker, and homelier …. how do you get such great pics? Where do you take the pictures and what do you do to get that bright, fresh look? I have no problems cooking delicious food in my closet-sized kitchen but it’s VERY difficult to get good pictures of it. AND, those pink eggs are amazing. They should be in a museum or something! Jon - March 29, 2012 - 3:42 pm
You can keep the egg yolks centered in the whites by stirring the eggs as they cook. Just like how rolling a snowball around in your hands creates a symmetrical ball (sometimes), stirring the eggs as they cook keeps the yolk centered within the white! Love the photos, and the ethereal impression they create! Robert Richards Recipes - March 30, 2012 - 4:13 pm

Every dish was farm-fresh and celebrated the different colors of spring produce. It was an absolute hit. Thanks so much for your work! leela - March 31, 2012 - 9:54 am

my mom is freaking out about leaving eggs outside of the fridge. when you pickle them, do you put them in the fridge or leave them at RT? thank you! Kasey - April 1, 2012 - 8:59 pm
I loved the look into your kitchen! It’s always so fun to see someone in their element. I’m a little embarrassed of my kitchen, myself! It’s small and dark and too narrow for two people to comfortably work in it, but we make due with what we have! I keep reminding myself that one day, I’ll look back at the years I’ve lived in this apartment, and the meals I’ve made in my kitchen, and smile from ear to ear. fujiia - April 3, 2012 - 2:39 pm
These are absolutely gorgeous. I love the analogy between a silk purse out of a sow’s ear and showing your very real kitchen to the world, to strangers (like me!) Bailey Jane - April 3, 2012 - 8:06 pm
