It *is* September but it's still plenty hot here in DC, so as long as you can find summer produce...it's still summer in my opinion! This recipe was inspired by fresh figs I found at Trader Joe's, as well as some beautiful local thyme I had picked up at Whole Foods. It's quick, easy and the flavors combination is amazing!

There's really no prep necessary - as long as you have all the ingredients, you can throw this together for a delicious and quick breakfast or snack. I used plain skyr yogurt (Siggi's!), but regular Greek yogurt would work as well. Ricotta would also be amazing, and could then it work for an appetizer as well. Just spread out your yogurt base, add sliced figs on top, then drizzle with honey and scatter thyme leaves and walnuts on top. You can see I used a lot of thyme!

Bon appetit 🙂

In da house. Bowls of it.

If you're looking for a fall granola, this is it! This mix is

+ Crunchy

+ Sweet

+ Toasty

+ Cinnamon-y

I used this roasted walnut oil as a base for the liquid in the recipe, which added a really nice depth of flavor. I've had it for a while and had been meaning to use it up but didn't know how. Granola is so flexible that I figured it would be a good test case and I was right!! So much flavor. I think coconut oil and/or canola oil would great as well, it will just have less of a walnut flavor.

We've had it for a few days and can't stop snacking on it 🙂

If you try it out, let me know!!
