It’s National Nut Day (there seems to be a national day for everything these days) and if you know Waxing Kara, you know we have a round-up blog featuring all of our favorite recipes revolving around that yummy ingredient.
When people hear fats, they may stay away from that food, but nuts contain good fats like omega-3 and omega-6 that give your body energy and support cell growth. That’s why they are such a good midday snack. Instead of a third cup of coffee, try a handful of nuts or better yet one of the recipes below, for an energy boost. They are super tasty too!
Nuts are extremely good for you; they are full of protein, fiber, and good fats.
Nuts are a versatile ingredient, easy to integrate into any recipe, often adding a needed texture or crunch. We feature recipes from salty to sweet, and even spicy! Each nut recipe includes our Eastern Shore honey of course!
