Homemade Fig Newtons
This is a dark, not very sweet, fig-filled cookie, basically a homemade fig newton. The crust gets a toasty flavor from whole wheat flour and walnuts, while the fig filling really lets the dark flavor of the fruit come through. These are definitely better the next day, as the cookies soften and the flavors get a chance to meld together.
BBQ Chicken Pizza
This BBQ chicken pizza has spicy barbecue sauce, diced chicken, peppers, onion, and cilantro, all covered with cheese and baked to bubbly goodness! This is similar to a recipe I had at a popular pizza place in California. My family loves it!
