Healthy mixed nuts. NOT!

I do love a nut or 2. I have several tubs in desk draw at work to nibble on (next to my jelly babies!). At the moment I have walnuts, almonds, cashews and brazils. Yummy.

I love nuts, almonds, brazils, walnuts....yum yum. I haven't seen salted almonds anywhere but will have a look next time we're shopping. I try to keep a stock of nuts and Babybels for snacking 🙂

Mmmm babybels, when I make my own burgers I pop a babybel into the middle of them so they melt when you cook them.

Oh Stitch...<slurp>... what do you put in your homemade burgers?

 

[Stitch147]

I either use 5% fat steak mince or turkey mince, finely chopped onion, mixed herbs, spices of choice (sometimes add a bit of paprika or cayenne pepper for a kick), mix together in a bowl with an egg to bind, then form into burger shapes (either with hands or using a burger press, lakeland do one thats designed for stuffed burgers), then grill or do on bbq until cooked. Yummy. I tend to make a batch up and freeze them with grease proof paper between so they dont stick together.

Pistachio nuts are ok but shelling them can be a bit of a struggle sometimes and you throw away 50% of what you bought. I have now stopped buying them from Lidl only buy the almonds loose now.

I buy pistachio kernels from the cooking section in Sainsburys, all the faffing gone 🙂

Oh dear Carolg, why not try some good old fashioned monkey nuts now and again. Easy to shell no salt and the taste brings you back to your childhood days too.

I don't like the skin on peanuts either. I am well known in my family for sitting there 'shelling' the skins off peanuts before I eat them. In fact, my sister one year bought me a large bag of skinned peanuts for Christmas just so I would make less mess at her house when eating them 😛

My friend hunted every xmas for unsalted pistacio nuts. Is that a good friend or what??
