KatieJ Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I would put them in the freezer and not worry about it tonight. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 search around to find a recipe on a recipe site you like - it's a lovely Croatian nutbread. Not exactly without calories, but lovely:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah CB Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 There's a great recipe on the Canadian Living site for a cookie called walnut sticks. They're shortbready - mmm. Walnut pie. Muffins with walnuts in them. Chocolate covered walnuts. Cookies with walnuts in them. Yogurt with fresh fruit and walnut pieces in it (makes a great lunch). Soak 4 cups of walnuts in water with 2 tsp of salt in it overnight and then drain the water and lay the walnuts flat on a cookie sheet. Bake them for 12 to 24 hours in 150 degree F oven. Then you'll have crispy walnuts to put in salads or just to eat plain. If all else fails...shell a bunch of walnuts and give them as gifts :) Sarah (can you tell I have a walnut tree?)

********* Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 If all else fails...shell a bunch of walnuts and give them as gifts :) This is a wonderful idea. I'd love it if a friend of mine gave me a bag of walnuts. But, maybe I'm strange that way. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 This is a wonderful idea. I'd love it if a friend of mine gave me a bag of walnuts. But, maybe I'm strange that way. :D Then I'm strange right with ya, Bethany! Great gift! I keep some in the freezer and eat a small handful every couple of days. Also use them in banana bread and cranberry muffins. Yum! Now I'm hungry! Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacy in NJ Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 If you had a ton of walnuts to use up...what would you make? I avoid walnuts. They give me headaches. If I had a bunch of them, I'd probably get rid of them ASAP. Probably donate them to the local church. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elaine Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 :lol: Aw, the walnuts feelings are now hurt a little.;) Yes, well, walnuts have feelings too. You have to be respectful of the walnut, it is a delicate nut. If you treat it harshly it will crack.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovedtodeath Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 send them to me! I go through 3 pounds a week! We eat them with graham crackers, chocolate chips, chocolate teddy grahams, put them on cereal, bake them in muffins and pumpkin bread, add them to Homemade grapenuts (we eat the cake instead of crumbling it. LOL) Stuff apples, whirl them in with pesto ... the possibilities are endless! My favorite use for walnuts is probably brownie mix LOL.
