Wild About Figs


Looking for something sweet for dessert, after too many starchy turkey dressings, sweet potato casseroles and yeast rolls---all of which will put you squarely into a lethargic twilight zone for days? Or maybe something to serve in place of angel food cake or pecan pie? Then look no further than fig cakes with almonds. There's also chocolate figs cakes.

Supersonic high energy is only one of many superlatives. So, let's dress this up a bit later today. And perhaps add a good stout cup of black coffee. (Black coffee, for health conscious adults only.)

Before you turn up your nose too quickly, I hope to convince you of several quick, easy and highly nutritious, festive things you can do with fig 'cake. ' And it has no white flour, white sugar, eggs or dairy, unless you throw in a little cheese, which I sometimes like to do.

I'll be back with more later today.
