Are You a Little Nutty? It’s National Nut Day
National Nut Day is here, and we have yet another reason to be “nutty.” Seeds, like pecans & walnuts, fruit like lychee nuts or legumes like peanuts, they all contain fats & protein. Chestnuts & cashews do not fall into this category. Nuts contain very little starch. Their oils carry flavor and nutrition, and nut texture is so appealing, we enjoy the contrast when added to recipes. Most nuts are eaten ripe...

Then comes the taste — Ohhh, the taste…so very good. And then, another one & another & another —...

How to Bake Granola at Home
My snacking habits have been a little lax as of late… I have been extremely busy and tend to grab things to snack on only because they are easy and readily available. In other words, if it’s not sitting in front of me at home, I’ll grab something on the go that’s probably not so healthy like chips, a chocolate bar, whatever is available. So, I’ve decided to try and plan ahead by making some healthy,...
