Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Eat Less Eat well

Prompt: Write something about these nuts: Pecans, Peanuts and Pistachios.



I was raised on peanut butter sandwiches for lunch at school all during grade school. Now peanuts are my best snack during the day. I can eat a quarter cupful when reading as my treat.

Have you been to nuts .com? I see it advertised on TV sometimes. I don't eat many pecans, but they have a lot of health benefits according to online sources. And, I like the flavor of pecans. I don't buy them often, so maybe I just don't see them in stores on the shelves.

Pistachios are another of my favorites. I can eat them anytime and I really need to buy more of them. Our budget is limited in the grocery aisle. Inflation has not helped my grocery budget. I do buy pistachios though. I think the price and the fact that I ate the last batch so fast discouraged me. Peanuts are less expensive, and I like. them.

The plus side of eating peanuts as a treat is sharing them with my parrots who also like a peanut whenever they can get one. Walnuts are a treat I share with the Parrots.

Almonds are another type of food that is good for your health. I read online somewhere that one almond is worth a lot to fight cholesterol. Pecans are good for helping weight loss.

I eat pepitas and other pumpkin foods. Pepitas are also good to help curb appetite. I like to mash them into cookies or homemade breakfast foods. I have a breakfast cookie recipe that calls for any kind of additives that you think are good for you. I put in pepitas, raisins, flax, oatmeal, and honey. No cooking to this recipe.

Actually, I would rather eat fresh foods, than cooked foods. Not always possible with my budget. Believe it or not I forget to eat healthy sometimes. I need to especially remind myself when I buy groceries. Last time I found dried strawberries.

See Ya!
