A different fun way to eat nuts. A daily dose of a handful of nuts brings about immense health benefits. Eating 25-50 grams nuts a day may reduce the risk or diabetes and heart disease. Many think that eating nuts will cause weight gain; however the key is to eat them in moderation. Pecans would be great for this recipe as pecans are one of the most popular nuts enjoyed by Cajuns.
