Fig and Goat Cheese Pinwheels

Healthy Fact of the Day

Figs are a great source of dietary fiber and antioxidants, while goat cheese provides calcium and protein with lower fat content compared to other cheeses. Using puff pastry in moderation makes this dish an indulgent yet balanced treat. Opting for fresh greens like arugula adds vitamins A and C. To reduce calories, use reduced-sugar fig preserves and skip the honey drizzle.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/2 cup fig preserves or jam
  • 4 oz goat cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh arugula or baby spinach (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp honey (for drizzling, optional)

     Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry into a 12×12-inch square.

  3. Spread fig preserves evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

  4. Crumble goat cheese evenly over the fig layer.
    Sprinkle with chopped nuts and arugula, if using.

  5. Starting from one side, tightly roll the pastry into a log.

  6. Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. Brush each pinwheel with beaten egg to ensure a golden finish.

  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

  9. Drizzle with honey before serving for added sweetness (optional).

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Vinegar Shelf: Why the Most Overlooked Ingredient in Your Pantry Deserves More Attention

Apple cider vinegar — particularly raw, unfiltered versions containing the “mother” of fermentation — contains acetic acid, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria that have demonstrated modest but genuine effects on blood sugar regulation in clinical research. Several studies have found that consuming vinegar before or with a meal reduces postprandial blood glucose and insulin response, with effects that are meaningful for people managing blood sugar levels. The mechanism appears to involve acetic acid’s inhibition of starch-digesting enzymes, slowing the absorption of carbohydrates. While the health claims surrounding apple cider vinegar are often overstated in popular culture, the specific blood sugar modulation effect has genuine clinical support — making the vinegar used in cooking a functional ingredient as well as a flavor one.

Publix Is Recalling Frozen Blueberries in 8 States After 12 Confirmed E. Coli Cases

Frozen fruits are one of the most nutritious and convenient pantry staples — but this recall is a reminder that frozen doesn’t mean sterile. E. coli and other pathogens can survive freezing, which is why cooking or heating frozen produce doesn’t always eliminate the risk from a contaminated batch. When buying frozen berries, checking the lot code at home and registering your email with the FDA’s recall alert system at fda.gov are simple habits that can help you catch issues like this one before the berries make it into your smoothie. If you’re in one of the eight affected states and shop at Publix, check your freezer today.
