Nut of the Week...

...  CASHEWS.

 
I bought a big container of raw, unsalted cashews last week and they are pretty much all gone.  They are super healthy and the kids and I have been eating them daily!  Here's a few of the ways we've been enjoying them this week:

 
  • I've been tossing a few on our morning cereal (along with yogurt and blueberries).
  • I added cashews instead of peanuts in my granola bars.
  • I've been making a snack bowl for the kids with raisins, cashews and sliced apple or orange segments.  They love it.
  • I tossed a few in a smoothy - banana, pineapple, coconut milk, plain yogurt and a few cashews.  YUM.
  • I made an interesting and delicious dessert.  I blended a small handful of soaked cashews with a TBSP or so of coconut milk and poured it over sliced grapes.  WOW.  So So So Yummy.  Very rich.

 
Next week's nut?  We'll have to see what's on sale - maybe pistacios? or walnuts? or almonds?
