It’s hard not to love figs.  They have a very delicate flavor, and are great as appetizers as well as desserts.  This recipe complements the fig with a mild goat cheese that gives this dish a rich flavor, and a serrano ham that gives your tongue a sharp wake-up call!

Ever wake up on a Sunday morning with a craving for a stack of pancakes topped off with some maple syrup? Add a cup of coffee and NPR playing in the background and I’d tell you my day is off to a good start. Pancake batter is easy to whip up from scratch, and making them is always an opportunity to have fun “flipping” them in the air. Enjoy your breakfast!
