Go nuts!

I love nuts! They are healthy, there are many different great tasting types of nuts and they superb as a little meal between meals. The other day when I came home from the supermarket with loads of nuts, my oldest daughter asked: "Why have you bought so much candy on a week-day mum?"... The girls love nuts, and I will not break the news about nuts not being candy. I have bought a nice bowl where I keep three different types of nuts. It stands on the table, so that we can grab a handful nuts when we feel hungry.

Some great tip on how to use nuts. Found it on http://www.treenuts.org/

GO MEATLESS - nuts are a great source of protein. Toss some into stir-fries, salads and pastadishes.

TOP WITH NUTS - sprinkle chopped nuts on top of a bowl of soup, vegetable dish or your favorite casserole.

START YOUR DAY WITH NUTS - experiment with different tree nuts in your favorite muffin or pancake recipe. Sprinkle nuts on top of yogurt or oatmeal.

NUTS ARE GREAT WITH CHEESE - add your favorite tree nuts to cheese and cracker platters to serve as an appetizer or a special dessert.
