A recipe for the experienced palate...
and one for the "plain" palate. First of all, I like a great variety of food, from exotic and gourmet to good ole hot Texas chile. Only two things turn me off in the food department: Messing with a traditional recipe (such as putting junk like dried cherries and apricots in corn bread dressing) and people who think food must be gourment in order to be good.
Here's the recipe for the experienced palate. Get a bag of the largest figs you can find. Slice the figs lengthwise. Grille the figs face down on med-high heat until they're warm and have grille marks. Remove figs from grille and place 3 face up in a small dessert bowl. Add a heaping teaspoonful of Gorgonzola cheese to each fig. Then sprinkle walnut (not black walnut) pieces on the Gorgonzola. Drizzle Agave Nectar over the figs and serve. For the less experimental: Take a box of your favorite chocolate cake mix or chocolate brownie mix and add to it one 16 oz. can of pumpkin. You will not need any eggs, oil or anything else. Bake in a pan as normal. The result is a moist, slightly dense cake that is addictive. Unless you knew it contained pumpkin you'd probably never guess it is in there; you'll just know it's different than normal. |

Actually I'd say you're the vast majority of tastes. As long as it tastes good and sorta good food for you, then it's good food. The pumpkin brownies are actually good for you because of the fiber of the pumpkin. And if you watch the brownie ingredients for excessive artificial shit and sweeteners, they're not fattening.

No eggs and oil, period. You won't miss it. This is an old Southern staple that I'm trying to keep healthy. But, like all recipes, if it isn't 'fatty' (for lack of a better word) enough for you, then improvise. My recipe makes a very moist and succulent brownie that's more akin to a 'pudding cake', just firmer.

I love figs and dates. That fig thing sounds amazing.

I am gonna try the fig thing.
That cake, is it low fat. I know it has the carbs but seems to me the fat would be pretty low. |
