Peanuts the super food!

We think it’s time to focus on the nutritional aspects of peanuts. We want to celebrate the positives of peanuts and peanut products.

A growing body of research by university scientists in America suggest that including peanuts and other nuts and legumes as a part of a healthy diet may be useful in improving cardiovascular health and may offer some protection against cancer as well. Some reasons offered by the researchers include peanuts’ high ratio of unsaturated fat to saturated fat, their fiber content and their antioxidant content.

This good nutrition news about peanuts is reason enough to use peanuts in our fudge and the other reason is because they taste so good!

Soon to be available Peanut Butter Fudge, watch this space.

My daughter is aergllic to nuts, eggs, and milk. For us, the safest way to vacation is to go somewhere with a kitchen. A couple of times we’ve stayed at a condo in Florida (just came back from Ron Jon in Cape Canaveral). The first thing I do when we get there is go food shopping. We’ve gone on a Disney cruise and they were very good about my daughter’s allergies. There weren’t a lot of choices for her, and some of them weren’t that appealing (for example, the only pasta they could serve her was gluten free which tasted pretty awful.) We did a 3 night cruise and brought some snacks from home. Next time I’ll also bring a loaf of bread.We’re thinking about a trip to the Caribbean and heard good things about Beaches resorts. They are expensive but I am nervous about going to cheaper places where I don’t have the positive reports about food allergy awareness. Would love to hear recommendations/ideas from others.
