All food fits! It’s my personal belief that including a wide range of real foods, varied daily, is the best way to meet nutritional needs. Of course we should include more nutrient rich foods such as: lean protein sources, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and low fat dairy. But an occasional treat like this
is a -ok. As a matter of fact, food choices should honor both your health and your taste buds. Perfect eating doesn’t exist and feeling satisfied is a worthy goal. That said, I’m not ashamed to share my fig galette. It’s simple to make; I used a boxed pie crust mix , fresh figs and topped it with Monterey Jack Cheese. My fig galette, eaten for breakfast on a Sunday morning, instead of a bowl of oatmeal topped with Greek yogurt, isn’t going to make me gain weight. It’s what we do consistently that matters.
I enjoy working with brands having similar values, like the dairy farm families of Cabot. They know that wellness isn’t just about what we consume. It includes how we move, how we interact, support and share with one another. Read about Cabot’s goal -to help people in their community live healthier, smarter lives.

I like cheddar b/c when we were little, my dad would have a bowl of bean soup with crackers and cheddar. We kids would eat anything Dad would as he’d make it look soo good, and I loved it starting then ever since!
I love the taste of cheddar and all the different dishes that can be made with cheese.
I love the diversity of cheddar too!
I never met a cheese i didn’t like 🙂 But cheddar is esp delicious because it is so versatile and goes with…pretty much everything.
Cheddar cheese (especially the extra sharp kind) is a comfort food in and of itself.
Cheddar tastes great.
I love Cheddar because of it’s bold flavor.
Cheddar is a very versatile and flavorful cheese. We use it with pasta, on sandwiches, pizza, crackers and best of all…by itself!
I love the sharpness of cheddar!
I like the sharp tang of cheddar.
I like the tangy taste of Sharp Vermont Cheddar and I love how well sharp or mild Cheddar goes with so many things. I go through a LOT of cheese, most of the cheddar!
Those people that say everything’s better with bacon are so wrong. Everything’s better with cheddar! I grew up in a time and place (small town Kansas in the 60’s) and there were not many varieties of cheese available, so we ate a LOT of cheddar. I’ve just eaten it so long and loved it all these years, I guess nostalgia and familiarity make it my favorite cheese.
So true, Susan Christy.
I like cheddar because it’s so versatile. Plus, a little goes a long way.
I agree, Lindsay.
It makes everything better. Plus it is a universal ingredient to make healthy foods more palatable to kids.
Yes, good point David. Melted cheese on vegetables or inside sandwiches will make them appealing to kids!
I love galettes! So simple, yet they look so gorgeous and rustic. Especially with fresh figs!!
Thanks, Emily! It’s my first time making a galette, but won’t be my last.
Wow! I love figs & love this combo. You can’t go wrong with Cabot cheese, but you can go so so right with Cabot cheese + figs! Can’t wait to make this
I love the tang of aged cheddar and how it pairs well with fruits, sweets, and savory.
I am wishing I had had your fig galette for breakfast this weekend!!! This sounds so easy and so delish! I love cheddar as it’s one of the few cheese products that I can eat as I am lactose intolerant and could clear a room in minutes after eating cheese filled with lactose! 🙂
I like Cheddar because it is mild and it tastes so good.
Thanks Janet, You will certainly like the Monterey Jack if you like mild cheddar!
I love cheddar because I like the sharp taste in a cheese it pairs well with lots of food and wine!
Ah, yes Ashley cheddar does pair well with food and wine. I am not a big fan of beer, but I am told it makes another good combo.
I love cheddar because it works so well with so many different ingredients
Hi Karen, You are absolutely right! You can go sweet or savory with cheddar!
I’m in love with this – pinning right now!
Thanks Deanna! Everytime I see a rustic tart at a bistro or cafe I think I need to make one. Finally got it done!
