Happy Happy Tuesday y’all!!!  For the last couple of years, it seems my seasonal allergies have become so much worse this time of year (thanks so much Ragweed, you jerk), and even though Fall now stinks in that regard, one good thing, is that it’s fig season, woohoo!…Ok so that may not sound very exciting to some of y’all,  but I’m personally obsessed with figs (and not just in Newton form). <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I seem to remember that when I lived in California, figs were always available year round, and so I ate a lot of them while I lived there.  Well, around these parts, they don’t start showing their delicious faces in stores until September, so color me happy.  I know that the idea of fruit on toast doesn’t seem like the usual crazy cheat day thing to eat, but on non cheat days, I try to avoid bread at all costs because 1 slice of sprouted\/low carb\/fake\/some version of something that looks like bread just isn’t going to cut it, you know? <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sooo, I thought it would be super delicious to make a kind of fig\/sweet version of avocado toast (which I am also equally obsessed with).  I initially thought of putting cream cheese on the toast as the base, because cream cheese is delicious on everything, but I ultimately decided on Ricotta, because I find it just slightly sweeter by itself.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To add to the sweet factor, I drizzled a bit of honey as a nice topper for this toast, and y’all, this turned out so fantastic.  The buttery crunch of the toasted bread, the very mild sweetness of the figs mixed with the creaminess of the Ricotta, and that small amount of super sweetness of the honey was just delightful. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think there is so much that can be done with this ‘recipe,’ next time I might broil the figs for a bit just to get a nice caramelization on top, or maybe even sweeten up the Ricotta and make it more like a frosting.  This to me is just such a wonderfully simple, yet delicious treat, I definitely recommend y’all make some of this.  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful day!
