About The Fig Jar
Hello & thanks for stopping by!
I’m so glad you stopped by! My name is Becky. I’ve been married to my best friend since 2016 and welcomed my first baby boy during the winter of 2022. I live in sunny Orange County, California, and I don’t plan on leaving! Aside from cooking simple recipes, I love the beach, iced coffee, eating out, reading, and sunny days.
I’ve had a deep love for food for as long as I can remember. That love has grown into a passion for creating simple + delicious recipes for a (part-time) living, hopefully soon to be full-time! If you’re interested in learning more about how I earn an income through blogging, check out my first income report! More to follow 🙂
My hope is that you will find my recipes approachable and that they help you find little ways to make every day feel special. I’m sure you know how a sweet little treat or a good iced latte can brighten your afternoon. Or how a delicious sauce can turn an average meal into an unforgettable one. That’s what I’m after. I’m also a huge Trader Joe’s fan and like to create recipes using their ingredients and meal helpers (like their curry sauce or frozen falafel) from time to time.
Still, most of my recipes require easy-to-find ingredients, many of which you may already have in your pantry. But I occasionally like to throw in a more unique ingredient like rose water or kumquats.
More specifically, you will find
You will find recipes to cover every moment of the day– from breakfast to dinner, desserts, drinks and some snacks.
I like to cook from scratch (with the exception of those occasional TJ recipes), not only for nutrition but taste. I love using seasonal ingredients, again for taste (especially!) and nutrition. The recipes on this site are simple and easy to prepare. My goal is to keep the ingredient list for each recipe as short as possible, without sacrificing flavor, of course!
