nutcracker suite

nuts, naked: pecan, walnut, almond, hazelnut
Here's another winter foodie past-time! We have a whole bag of whole nuts to crack open this winter: pecans, walnuts, almonds. My favorite is the hazelnut, it has a sweet creaminess to it, on top of the crunchy bite. My uncle says the walnuts and pecans look like brains - he's an orthopedic surgeon, please excuse the comparison.
