I'm nuts for Walnuts!

I know Ruthanne, when I get started on nuts, hard to stop! Almonds are supposed to be healthy too. I used to love black walnuts when used in baking, they're so flavorful.

I love pecans more but can control myself on walnuts. lol Yes almonds are good, too. They are all good.
 
Walnuts in chocolate fudge---the best! Eating too many black walnuts eventually makes my mouth sore. Don't know why, but it doesn't stop me.
 
I love walnuts, usually eat a few each day and sometimes chop them to sprinkle on my breakfast cereal then add a little powdered ginger
 
I like walnuts to bake with. Usually put them in my brownies. I much prefer cashews and almonds to munch on.
 
I tend to overindulge in nuts too.

I find that buying them in the shell and cracking them as I eat them helps to slow me down.

Walnuts in the shell are nice heated for a few minutes in the oven or microwave.

In the past, before diabetes, I enjoyed "Wet Nuts" as a topping for vanilla ice cream.

You will find many "original" recipes on the internet.

I mixed the walnut pieces with real maple syrup, heated the mixture in the microwave until it bubbled furiously for a few seconds, removed it from the microwave and stirred in a small knob of cold butter until it melted and disappeared. Serve warm over vanilla ice cream, refrigerate any leftovers and reheat in the microwave before using.
