Did you know that April is National Pecan Month? What better time to enjoy pecans in a variety of different recipes than now. Pecans are a member of the hickory family and are not only delicious, but good for you as well. A serving of pecans (12 – 15 nuts) is loaded with heart healthy antioxidants. Pecans contain nineteen different vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, several B vitamins and zinc.
Please welcome Ellen, from Confessions of an Overworked Mom, to the AMFT contributor team. I’m so excited that she will be sharing great round ups every other month with us!
