To my readers, that is if I have any left. First of all I must apologize for my absence, not even a quick post saying I’m still here just very busy. What can I say other than sometimes life gets in the way of blogging and sometimes the human soul needs a break to re-think [...]

Want to hear how I spent my weekend? Shopping for a new laptop computer. Let me say right off the bat I HATE shopping for electronics, doing the research, going to stores etc! Lucky for me my husband doesn’t mind, were it not for him I would have procrastinated a while longer.

Too few Americans are eating the recommended 1 1/2 ounces of tree nuts per day, which can reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes, say U.S. researchers. Tree nuts include almonds, Brazils, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, macadamias and walnuts.
"Most people consume as much as 25 percent of their total caloric intake from snacks," Janet King, co-chairwoman of the 2007 Nuts and Health Symposium and past chairwoman of the 2005 USDA Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, said in a news release. "If we could replace snacks high in refined carbohydrates with just 1/4 to 1/3 cup of nuts per day, we could have a positive impact on nutrient density and the risk of chronic disease."
