I must second Kim. Nuts are great no matter where they are. I’ve noticed you’re missing cakes. There are plenty of great recipes including walnuts for anyone with sweet tooth.

  It’s hard to make cakes without sugar that actually taste good, plus cake recipes are so plentiful everywhere else. I wanted to focus on healthy and different kind of recipes.
