I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Flatbread with Figs and Prosciutto

Flatbread such as Naan or prepared pizza crust
Olive oil
Fig preserves
Garlic
Rosemary
Fresh figs, quartered
Prosciutto (2 oz for a 12 inch pizza crust)
Gorgonzola or Havarti cheese
Fresh mozzarella (optional)
Sliced green onion and/or arugula

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Place flatbread on baking sheet.  Spread crust lightly with olive oil. Spread with several tablespoons of fig preserves or jam.  Sprinkle chopped rosemary and  chopped or sliced garlic over the crust.

Sprinkle fig quarters liberally over the crust and top with prosciutto bunching it up in various places. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for about 15 minutes until everything is hot. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions and or arugula.  Cut into individual portions and enjoy.  Serve as an appetizer or as a meal with a salad.  

I love having things to do with the fresh figs from my tree.
