Oh... walnuts!


Guess what I am reluctantly eating right now? If you guessed walnuts, you are correct. Why am I eating walnuts? Well, because they contain omega-3 fatty acids and since I don't eat any fish, I either have to take an omega-3 supplement each day (yech, doesn't sound appetizing plus they give you fishy burps apparently, which makes it a million times less appealing!) or I can eat a couple handfuls of walnuts so that Baby G's brain can develop well and so that Baby G will be more attentive. So Geoffrey bought me a nice bag of walnuts and likes to harass make sure I am eating them. Along with my 20 glasses of water. Oh joy. Did I mention that walnuts are one of my least favorite nuts?

If you want more info on walnuts, check out the Walnuts website--it even has recipes!

  1. Poor dear! You should look into DHA supplements rather than fish oil. no burps!

  2. I hate walnuts too! I would suggest the sugar encrusted ones that take away the walnut taste but I know you have an aversion to sweets too ... hmm... Chris' parents were telling me about their Omega 3 vitamins that aren't fishy .. they're lemony ... I'll ask them and email ya :)
