Nutty Idea: When measuring nuts for a recipe, use a dry measuring cup rather than a liquid measuring cup to ensure the most accurate measurement. Nuts freeze well. Place in an airtight container and freeze for up to 6 months. Remember to allow nuts to come to room temperature before adding to your recipe.
