walking is real — it’s the com-

munity that’s virtual. Walking

has tons of benefits, from

boosting mood to reducing

fat, and joining the Virtual

Walk gives you a chance to

really focus on your health.

Their sweet flavor and jammy texture make ’em ideal for baked goods,

but we love this fruit in savory dishes too!

STUFFED

Remove stems from a

pint of fresh figs and cut

a deep X in the top of

each, making sure not to

cut all the way through.

Stuff with blue cheese

and wrap with thinly

sliced prosciutto.

PICKLED

Fill a glass pint jar with

small fresh figs (halved).

Bring ½ cup each white

wine vinegar and water,

1 Tbsp honey, 2 tsp

cracked black pepper

and 1 tsp salt to a boil.

Pour over figs, cover and

refrigerate until chilled.

SANDWICHED

Butter 2 slices of thick

country-style bread.

With buttered sides

facing out, fill with

sliced Gruyère and

sliced fresh figs. Cook

in a nonstick skillet on

medium until golden

brown and melty.

Get sorted with an

inexpensive hanging

shoe rack. GH’s resident life

hacker, Meaghan Murphy,
