Good weather is finally here.
Don't get me wrong. I'm thankful for the rain we got, it's just nice to have clear skies, sun, and warm weather. It makes everything come to life. Flowers bloom, trees bud out, beauty is every where.
Well with all of this it also gets most of us motivated to get more active. When you are active you also get hungry. What is a perfect snack to have on hand you don't have to feel bad about eating and is healthy? Nuts. Especially Walnuts. Walnuts are very high in Omega 3 oils, and they satisfy the need to eat something crunchy, and are loaded with protein. My Eddy's Favorite In an attempt to find a snack that wasn't high in carbs., my husband asked me to make a candied nut that wasn't loaded with sugar but was yet was flavorful. After several recipes this has ended up being My Eddy's favorite. Hope you enjoy it.
