I love having a handful of nuts everyday…usually almonds because they are my favorite but did you know that walnuts are so incredibly healthy for you and just a few walnuts a day can be extremely beneficial for your heart. Some even say it is better than having olive oil everyday. Not to mention that it keeps away that bad cholesterol too lessening your chances of having a heart attack or stroke. They are also high in the omega-3 fatty acid, vitamin E, Folate which is great for pregnant and nursing women and fiber. So put a few walnuts in your mix!

My least favorite season has always been the Fall. School was starting, leaves were falling, everything was dying and it was getting colder and darker earlier in the evening. But there are two things I do love in the fall. Going apple picking and pumpkin pie. I love making and eating pumpkin pie and roasting pumpkin seeds. I’m not to fond of eating stuffed pumpkin although my mom loves it but I prefer the pie!
