After a weekend
of parties {and party food}
celebrating my husband's
high school class
reunion, I'm feeling
really blobby and
not particularly
energetic.
However, this week
instead of dwelling
on the
shouldn't haves
fried food
processed food
sugary food
I want to focus
on foods that
n o u r i s h
and give
e n e r g y,
especially as we
head towards
the holidays.

One thing that I
love about fall
is the abundance
of fresh nuts,
such as pecans,walnuts,
almonds and one
I especially enjoy,
the hazelnut.
Hooray for hazelnuts!
In the United States,
hazelnuts are cultivated
in two of my favorite
states, Oregon and Washington.
In the rest of the world,
they are found in commercial
quantity in Turkey and Italy.
Cousin to the Filbert,
and considered the
and considered the
healthiest of nuts,
hazelnuts are high in
protein and unsaturated
fat and contain significant
amounts of thiamine and
vitamin B6.
Toasted, hazelnuts
are wonderful in granola,
tasty tossed with green beans,
olive oil and
olive oil and
fresh lemon juice,
and delicious in a baby
greens salad with pear
and craisins....
But this
is the way I
savor them best:

dark chocolate covered
hazelnuts
or
Nutella spread

{I just eat
it on a small spoon!}
and sometimes
in chocolate candy,
such as this....
In moderation,
the combination of
dark chocolate
and hazelnuts can be
an energizing treat,
full of antioxidants.

and I'm sticking to it!}

Last October
I was introduced
to a fantastic
source for hazelnuts
of all kinds
dry roasted
dark chocolate covered
salted

diced
Hazelnut Hill,
a hazelnut orchard
near Corvallis, Oregon,
where they grow,
roast and make their
own candy with hazelnuts.

Family owned,
their hazelnuts
were fresh and delicious,
and possibly
the best that
I'd ever tasted.

Which

top your list?
Will you go
a little nuts
with me,
this fall?
