That’s Nuts!
We were in Ijsselstein on Saturday visiting my brother-in-law Rob, for his birthday.
After a lovely visit together, we decided to take a walk into town to do some Christmas shopping.
Setting off on our little journey, βMaybe youβll find some fresh nutsβ quipped Monic.
We both love fresh nuts!
The streets were filled with music, lots of families with little children all enjoying the Dutch tradition of Sinterklaas, with countless Pietβs around town.
We were in and out of several little shops and it wasnβt too long before we came across one selling fresh nuts and cheeses.
The Dutch have a passion for fresh nuts!
Looking at the tempting array I asked βMag ik deze proeven?β
As always, I tried a few different varieties of mixed nuts before settling on a favourite.
Different spices and a range of mixtures gave the nuts a special flavour and zing!
βπ½ππππππ’π πππ ππππ πππππ ππ ππππβ I thought.
Spices play a significant role.
They impart flavour to our food, as well as making it tasty and inviting!
I purchased two different mixtures.
One turned out to be our firm favourite with little dried cherries mixed in.
In a similar sense, π°π‘ππ π¬π©π’πππ¬ ππ¨ ππ¨ ππ¨π¨π, π―ππ«π’πππ² ππ¨ππ¬ ππ¨ π₯π’ππ.
Maybe we are a little nutty (I’m sure many will agree!), but fresh nuts have become a popular choice for us.
Loaded with antioxidants, Brazil nuts, cashews, almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, macadamias and any more, are all good for your diet.
You certainly canβt beat a good nut; Iβve noticed there are a few of them around! 

What is your favourite mixture?
