check out Oregon Hazelnuts on the internet. Many farms sell retail direct, and landscapers use the shells for mulch.

Add any "brittle" from any and all above.
Yeah, Nuts!

Oh yeah, I love brittle. I never realized there was any kind other that peanut brittle. Then I had some cashew brittle. Oh man was that good! Probably negates some of the health benefits, but very tasty.

DW occasionally goes to a quilting shop in Amish country and always brings me back some cashew brittle she gets at a nearby store. Incredible stuff!
Here's a recipe (couldn't be simpler):
AMISH "CRACK" CASHEW CRUNCH

So, I tried the 1 oz of almonds a day for the past few days.
Think I'm gonna have to cut back and try 1/2 oz a day. My tummy will thank me.

I'll put some in a small dish (about the size you would put cocktail sauce in) and take it into another room. I try not to go back for seconds...
I find that they are filling and can really curb my appetite. Just have to have the willpower for about 20 minutes or so for your brain to know that.
So for about 150 calories they can wreck my appetite for dinner which is good. Unfortunately I sometimes mix them with M & Ms.
But yes, nuts in moderation are supposed to be really healthy. I usually have cashews or peanuts. I'm afraid I will break a tooth on almonds ( and my dentist mentioned that also).

I aborted my almonds regimen. After only having 2 almonds today, my belly got upset.
Guess I'll stick to something my belly can tolerate like junk food.

When traveling overseas and I get an upset digestive system I go on a diet of white bread, butter, ice cream, and apples. 50% ice cream, 40% white bread and butter, 10% apples. And a bit of wine. It works. Really.

I can't imagine. I've heard they are incredibly painful to pass.

I can't help chiming in here since it happened to me so recently. Here is what my Dr said. The "pain" you always hear about with kidney stones isn't in the actual passing of it. You could pass one and not even know it. Before it gets dislodged and sent out you have these bouts of back pain plus the general urinary tract irritative symptoms.
Maybe Lawman can corroborate this.

As I understand once the stones get to the bladder they are not usually too painful. Mine were not too bad but thankfully they were small enough to pass. Those that can be excruciating are the one's that remain in the kidney or those that get lodged in the tube that connects the bladder to the kidney ..I had one that did that and I was barely able to drive myself to the emergency room..Once they get to the bladder they usually pose little problem..

We switched from regular milk to unsweet vanilla almond milk years ago. Best thing we ever did. Get rid of dairy at the same time.

My dad grew up on a peanut farm and ate peanuts almost every day of his life of 96 healthy years. I love peanuts (and all nuts) and I eat a fair amount every day. They don't seem to make me gain weight.

I had gestational diabetes so I get familiar with blood sugar and the many benefits of nuts. Now I eat them often. Omega 3 trail mix from walmart, butcalso have your trued roasted peanuts on greek yogurt with fruit? Really good. Same for chopped walnuts. And agree a palmful of almonds will really tide you over. Also discovered chia seeds. Excellent sprinkled on yogurt. Watch the yogurt though. Added sugar will blow your mind. Compare oikos triple zero and 2 Good to the largely advertised brands like Danon etc. The added sugar is truly unneccesary. You wont miss it and the fruit by comparison tastes like candy

Kefir (yogurt-like) works in the gut biome to help lower cholesterol.

There is some great cashew kefir for those that don't consume dairy. I get it at Whole Foods.

I do not like any other nuts, but I love to eat a lot of peanuts . It is my third favorite healthy snack after navel oranges and pineapple.
My favorites these days are the Sachs shelled unsalted peanuts. If I want a taste of salt, I'll add it, but I almost never do that, these taste fine unsalted. The fat in peanut is healthy, and my DNA analysis indicates my weight is not associated with fat intake.

Speaking of nuts, has anyone tried the Costco Praline Pecans?
Heavenly!
I consider them more candy with a touch of protein
I only allow myself a small amount each day, they are addicting!

Happy to see so many peanut enjoyers here. My usual 1 pound bottle of peanuts was sold out at my food store, but they had peanuts in the shell available for even less per pound. They were $1.65 per pound, in a two pound bag. One pound bottle was $1.89 per pound. So I bought the bag of peanuts with shells. I have fun cracking the shells and eating the peanuts one at a time. Unsalted. I thought I would miss the salt, but I don't. And the weight of the shells is miniscule, so I know I'm getting a good deal.
