Another New Winner from Trader Joe's!

I am trying to eat healthy - and have cut way down on processed foods. But I do like something sweet...

So I got the frozen fresh figs and have a half-defrosted fig in place of dessert. It's high in fiber too - DELICIOUS.

I used to get fresh figs when they are in season, but they tend to spoil quickly.

Now I can have fresh figs any time of the year with no waste.

have you tried the lemon bars yet? OMG. I love them when they are still a bit frozen..

I will have to look out for the figs - I love figs, but I only find them fresh for a couple of months (if that) out here

They are less than $3 for one pound...about HALF of what fresh figs cost!

Lemon bars sound too much like the mochi ice cream you got me hooked on! Delicious!

Hoping not to derail, but didn't want to do a shout out.

ANyway, Just an apology for misunderstanding your intent on that thread last night that you started which included the tweet. I am sorry.

What's a good way to incorporate figs? I know I should be eating more......

Chobani has a great yogurt with figs and orange zest. That's one thing I'm going to use these frozen figs for.

I like Fig Newtons but have never tasted them any other way. Would like to try. Chef's on tv are always using them.
