HOMEMADE FIG BARS
In this recipe, honey-sweetened figs are tucked inside a tender whole-wheat cookie. Both of my kids agreed they were superior to the store-bought versions they had tried at a friend's house -- they couldn't keep their mitts out of the tin I put them in.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the figs in a small heatproof bowl, cover with hot water and soak for 10 minutes. Remove the figs from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer to a food processor. Add the honey and 1 tablespoon of the soaking liquid. Puree until smooth and spreadable. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add the flour and mix until a dough forms.
- Place the dough between two pieces of parchment, then roll into two 12-by-4-inch rectangles.
- Spread the fig filling on one half of each rectangle, spreading up the 12-inch side and leaving a 1/4- to 1/2-inch border.
- Fold the dough over on top of itself and gently press the dough together at the edges. Cut each log into 10 cookies and transfer to baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Steps:
- In a medium sized, non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add the tomatoes and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer the onion-tomato mixture to a bowl and set aside.
- In a medium bowl lightly beat together the whole eggs, egg whites and water, if using. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook over a medium-low flame, stirring frequently, until the eggs are almost set. Drain any excess water from the tomato mixture and stir the mixture gently into the eggs. Toss in the dill, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
- Serving suggestion: Serve with a piece of whole-grain toast spread with 1/8 of an avocado, instead of butter.
