Don’t be cheeky, now! I’m referring to a way to keep those walnuts, macadamias and Brazil nuts at their freshest! Because of their high fat content, nuts kept in the freezer can be eaten in that state. They won’t freeze into a rock-solid piece of ice the way a piece of lean chicken or veggies […]
Read More ›No problem…but you’re missing out. Opting not to eat wild animals such as boar, elk, antelope isn’t necessarily a problem in and of itself, but if you find yourself only eating chicken breast and eggs as your sole means of protein, you may be compromising your diet.
