If you’re like me, then you probably want to throw eggs at nutrition media. They’re egging you on – the back & forth, healthy today unhealthy tomorrow, food recommendation roller coaster can be frustrating and discouraging. What the heck am I supposed to eat?? How …

I’ve been on a big fig kick lately. I’ve been combining fig with everything I can think of. I’m talking on grilled cheese, on pizza, glazing this bacon wrapped chicken. It’s all seriously drool-worthy.
