This is such a fine tasting side dish. The lettuce adds a good texture to the softness of the figs and the creaminess of the cheese. Perfect for fall when figs are in abundance but I have been finding them at my local farmer’s market this year. You can make these an appetizer or a side dish. Try serving them on a bed of mixed lettuce at a party.

Ingredients
6-8 figs
Balsamic vinegar
Crisp mixed greens
Olive oil
Goat Cheese or Bleu Cheese

Rinse and dry figs. Cut figs in half lengthwise. Using a teaspoon, press about a 1/4 teaspoon of goat cheese (try lavender & lemon goat cheese) or bleu cheese into the center of the fig. Press it in a little if needed but be gentle. After all figs have cheese filling, sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar over them, maybe about 2 tablespoons…just a little drop on each fig. You can serve them now at this temp or you can pop them in the oven for just a minute on broil. This will melt the cheese and make them wonderful!

Now take the mixed greens and toss them with some balsamic vinegar and some olive oil. Serve the figs with the mixed greens.

My husband loves this meal, and so do I... it's easy peasy!

2 medium sized baking potatoes
1 package of tempeh
2 carrots
1 small stalk of broccoli
a small white onion

stab the sides of the potatoes with a fork a few times to allow steam to excape.
in the oven, preheated to 400 degrees, place both potatoes on the top rack.

give carrots, broccoli, onion, and tempeh a rough chop. nothing neat.

place the veggies and tempeh in a baking dish with a bit of olive oil and place on the bottom rack of the oven AFTER the potatoes have cooked for 30 minutes.

while the veg and tempeh begins to cook, put the following ingredients in a blender.

* 3/4C Almond Oil or Safflower
* 3/4C Water
* 1/4C Braggs Liquid Aminos
* 2T nutritional yeast
* 1/4t Spike Seasoning
* 1/4t Basil
* a few cloves garlic (amount, to your taste)
* 1 1/2t lemon juice
* 1 1/2t wheat-free Tamari
* 16 oz firm tofu, rinsed well


Warm sauce in microwave or on the stove top.

Once all is cooked through, make a long slit in the baked potatoes and push both sides of potato to open them up. Pile high with veggies and tempeh. Drown it in sauce.
