This dessert packs a ton of flavour with just a few simple ingredients.

Pears, walnuts, oats, maple syrup and cardamom – a divine combination of flavours which are perfect for the cozy season ahead.

I love warm desserts in the cooler, cozy months but I want them to be simple so I can spend more time enjoying.

This is where the pears come in; by using ripened Bosc pears you start with a naturally sweet fruit that brings a lot of flavour and they keep their shape while baking.

So, by baking the pears, it brings out their natural sweetness and they go beautifully with the walnuts and oatmeal. Plus, the cardamom cream finishes off this dessert perfectly.

    What an elegant dessert! You can never go wrong with the combination of pears and cardamom, but I really like the way you’ve paired them up here. (Or is that “peared” them up…)

    This Baked Pears with Caramom Cream recipe is comfort food at its best for me, Jessica. I can just imagine the fragrance of this dessert baking in the oven. And I love the idea of the Cardamom cream – cardamom is often neglected, in my opinion – it is such a lovely spice. Many thanks for sharing. Your lovely recipe will be happening soon in my own kitchen.

I want to share a bit more about my blogging journ I want to share a bit more about my blogging journey so here are 5 things I’ve learned as a food blogger & photographer:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
1. Just start. I waited a bit before starting my blog in 2015 because I thought I needed things to be set up a ‘certain’ way. Then I had a layover in the Minnesota airport for 7 hours and just decided that NOW was the time! So I made my blog live on that day in March 2015 & shot my first recipe with my brother that weekend.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
2. Find your voice/niche. I struggled with this for my first couple of years, doing all sorts of recipes. Once I decided I really wanted to focus on simple & seasonal foods and gatherings, it helped me build my content & talk about it more easily.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
3. Try different styles. I started photographing in a more light and bright style, and generally, I stick to that for the blog. BUT I love to challenge myself to think outside the box and experiment with different backgrounds or even photographing an entire eBook in a house. I find these challenges just help me to learn more & get better at my craft.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
4. Ask for help. Google only got me so far BUT asking other bloggers or food photographers for help/advice along my journey has been amazing. The community is so wonderful! I’ve made some amazing connections just by reaching out.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
5. Build a community. One of my fav things about blogging has been the community I’ve built via the blog/recipes. I love to hear when a recipe becomes someone’s fav dish or helps with a special occasion. In the end, this brings me the greatest amount of joy when the recipes/food I create brings others joy and helps them create delicious meals to share with family & friends.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Thank you for following along on this journey with me!⁠⁠

You knowwww I love a good cocktail and as we head You knowwww I love a good cocktail and as we head towards Springtime I want to celebrate warmer days ahead with this Lavender French 75 made with @empress1908gin ! Hand-crafted in British Columbia, I couldn’t think of a better gin to add to this cocktail. (Recipe below) #sponsored
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To me a French 75 is just perfect to cheers with BUT I’m shaking things up a bit by adding lavender bitters to complement the botanicals of the @empress1908gin . With the Empress Gin’s subtle earthy notes, the lavender works just beautifully to make a lovely Spring sip. Plus the gorgeous colour transforms from a vivid indigo blue to a more pink hue with the addition of the fresh lemon juice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, let’s cheers to a more bright & beautiful season upon us! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
French 75 with lavender bitters
Ingredients:
1 ½  oz gin
¾ oz  freshly squeezed lemon juice
¾ oz simple syrup
2-3 dashes lavender bitters
Top with prosecco & a lemon twist
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instructions:
Shake gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and lavender bitters over ice. Strain into a coupe or flute. Top with prosecco & garnish with a lemon twist and/or lavender sprig.  
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip: Need to make simple syrup? In a small saucepan combine ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool.
