My Cooking and other random stuff!

Ask me anything   I love to cook! So this is a place where I share anything that I cook that is worthy of sharing.
I am also currently preparing to get my Cicerone Certification, so I may share some things about that as I progress. Not to mention many other random things that come to mind.
Oh, and by the way, did I mention that I love to cook!

    I think this is a great tip for @nutritiondiva ‘s Quick and Dirty Tips podcast!

    Recently I passed by the bulk  nuts (with shell on) section at a local grocery store and it reminded me of my Scottish Grandmother’s house. She  used to always have a bowl of mixed nuts on the table with a nutcracker nearby. I decide to do the same at my house. As I have been eating these great snacks I realized that this is a much better way to enjoy nuts rather than the shelled kind. I am much more likely to over eat the shelled ones and therefore add many more calories to my caloric budget than intended. With a nut that I have to crack, I have to work for it, and therefore don’t eat as many. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, the old fashioned way, just like my Grandmother.
