Fresh Fig and Watermelon Bites, with a kick

September 20, 2020

Newsflash: I love figs. Figs by themselves are a gift sent from heaven. They are beautiful and sweet, delicate. They hold a flavor like no other. What I love about figs is they are so versatile, you can dry them, use them in desserts, make jam or pair them with savory foods like cheese. The other day I had the best figs OF MY LIFE, thanks to McCalls in Los Feliz, California. I was inspired to make a fresh little treat using figs that didn’t transform them too much, or take away from their incredible flavor. These fresh fig and watermelon bites are everything you look for in a fresh and juicy summer bite. Sweet and extremely refreshing, they show off the vibrant colors and flavors of these summer fruits.

How to pick out your Figs and Watermelon

Watermelon

  • heavy for its size
  • yellow spot where it sat in the ground
  • hollow sound when you flick it
  • not too shiny
  • look for a dried stem not a green one

Figs

  • soft to the touch but not mushy
  • dry and smooth skin, unbroken
  • round plump shape
  • no sour smell!
  • not too much green at the top

A little sugar, a little spice

These little bites are layered with watermelon, peppered greek yogurt, figs and a generous drizzle of honey. They are as refreshing as any juice can be, and all the more satisfying and fun to eat. The yogurt adds an extra texture and freshness, while also adding a kick of spice… and protein. The black pepper complements the syrupy honey and rich figs, but you can leave it out of you’re not a fan of spice.

Snack, appetiser or pool side treat

These fresh fig and watermelon bites make a colorful appetiser for a summer pool party. They are sweet enough to be a healthy dessert, and refreshing enough to be a cooling snack. Easy to pick up, bite size and delicious, what else could you ask for. What a way to spruce up this season’s sweet fruits!

When I say these are the best taquitos I’ve ever had, I really mean THEY ARE THE BEST. The first time I made these sweet potato and corn taquitos I shared them with my friends, and I held my breath as they tasted them, worried that they wouldn’t like them. Well, that wasn’t the case at all! To name a few reactions: REMARKABLE, I NEED the recipe, 😭😍 delicious, are there any leftovers? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
These taquitos are PERFECTLY crispy, sweet, cheesy... I can go on. They are a healthy and fresh twist on the classic taquito dish, and of course I had to add an avocado element.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The 🍠 and 🌽 is filled with sweet potato, corn, cheese and and a fresh avocado cream.⁠⠀

The 🍗 and 🥬 has roasted chicken, 3 cheeses, spinach a creamy salsa.⁠⠀

Serious Relations ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
She's the girl who wakes up and smiles because she's powerful and she knows it. She doesn't abide by anyone's rules but her own. She doesn't succumb to the pressures of society. This collection is called Battle of the Sexes because the woman behind the clothes is delicate yet confident and finds herself in a position of power in all aspects of her life. At work, in the city, within herself and with her oh so lucky subjects.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This confidence, it isn't the kind of confidence that exposes a big ego; not the kind of power that is self-centered and demanding. It's a modest, almost unnoticeable kind of poise. She doesn't demand that you listen to her, but you want to. She doesn't make the rules, but you follow her anyway. ⁠⠀
