This charming rustic tart combines fresh figs baked on top of a  buttery, crisp crust  and served with Monterey Jack cheese. Disclosure: Along with my sponsorship to the TD Beach 2 Beacon, Cabot Creamery is providing me with a $25 gift box to giveaway on my blog. I was not financially compensated for my time. Opinions are my own.

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 thisis 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.
