8 Favorite Fig Recipes

8 of my favorite fig recipes to celebrate the transition from late summer to early fall! Incudes both savory and sweet fig recipes!

It’s been a wild (almost) two weeks since becoming dog mom to Flora, our Australian Shepherd puppy. 

Yes, it’s true that time flies when you’re having fun, but it also flies when you’re busy AF. 

Flora has us in a new routine of getting to bed early and getting up even earlier, which I like more than I thought I would. 

Between puppy training (read: watching Flora repeatedly get the zoomies), brainstorming fall recipes, and big yoga moves, it’s been a busy August so far.

Let my update you on my yoga. 

Last weekend I attended a Restorative Yoga Workshop so that I can begin incorporating restorative yoga into my teaching. 

I also recently started teaching yoga on a weekly basis (every Saturday!). 

If you’ve been around here a while, you know that having my very own class has been a goal of mine since graduating from YTT.

So I’m super excited at the opportunity to teach more frequently. 

Some other milestones to celebrate this past week are: 

1. Flora had her first taste of peanut butter and is obsessed,
2. M and I took Flora to her first coffee drive-through,
3. and I found fresh digs at the super market.

Ah, figs. Which brings us to today’s collection of recipes that I have for you. 

I love them so much, even if they have a weird origin. 

Something about a wasp dying inside the the fig to pollinate them? Google it. 

Either way, they’re delicious, and I’m excited to eat them for the next few months.
