Nuts

I don't know about you guys, but I love nuts! Yes, I AM talking about honest to goodness edible, grown in soil on a tree nuts! They are very beneficial nutritionally. Rich in energy, protein, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and the much discussed omega-3 fatty acids. Those beautiful little treats are SO delicious I often find it hard not to eat a whole bag! What about you guys?

My favorites? I can't decide!!! Pistachios, OMG they are delightful bites from heaven! The best part is opening the shell to get the the beautiful goodies!!! I used to love opening the red ones, and then of course your hands were red! I don't think they make them in red anymore as I can't find them that way!! Cashews, OMG they are sweet tastes of delicious in your mouth! Almonds, amazing! Filberts, out of this world! Walnuts, awesomely delightful! Peanuts, OMG fresh scrunched peanut butter cannot be beat!!! And I travel all the way to Whole Foods just to get some fresh ground peanut butter, YUMMY! Pecans, what can I say other than luscious!!! The amazing thing is I don't like Macadamia nuts! Oh well, can't love them all! But the rest, I would never be able to get enough of them!!!

One of my favorite things is having them raw and unsalted...yummy natural nuts...I just love walking into the local groceries around where they have them all lined up in containers you can buy and keep for later. Problem is in my home they don't last very long and I have to hide them to stop eating them! Boy, are they addicting!

I guess it is definitely better than smoking or drinking, both of which I no longer practice...
