I use a lot of black walnuts in recipes over the winter...one I use a lot is when making an apple pie...just throw a big double handful of black walnuts in with the apples! I am not a fan of apple pie but let me tell you put some black walnuts in it and yum!!!!!
I also make the oatmeal...
We have a wood burning furnace in the basement and have started it up! gets so hot in here sometimes that the windows are open an if someone leaves a door open...it is ok! Doesn't cost us anything. Living in the middle of our acreage ..we are surrounded by woods so wood is no problem. High...
