    1. Bake them in - One of the best ways to cook with nuts is to bake them
       right into your cakes, breads, muffins, cookies and other holiday
       favorites.  To get the most out of your holiday baking, add toasted nuts
       to the batter. Toasting the nuts releases their essential oils, making
       them more fragrant and flavorful, and adding that special crunch to your
       baked goods.
    2. Top it off - Nuts also make a great topping to holiday dishes. Add a
       layer of pecans to your sweet potato casserole. Chopped walnuts also make
       great toppings to frosted cakes. And what would the holidays be without a
       sweet and delicious pecan pie? Nuts are incredibly versatile and go
       beyond your holiday dinners. For a festive brunch, top off yogurt or
       oatmeal with some fresh walnuts.
    3. Mix them up - Make your green beans more flavorful and exciting with
       fresh almonds. Look for flavor combinations that bring out the
       ingredients in your recipe. Walnuts and cranberries are a classic holiday
       pair. Mixing cranberries and walnuts into your salad and stuffing is a
       simple way to add flavor to your classic holiday dishes. To help keep
       your nuts crunchy and delicious, be sure to store them in a cool, dry
       place.
    4. Keep 'em fresh - Fisher Nuts has created a new Freshness Seal Bag with a
       press-to-seal closure that locks in freshness and preserves the flavor
       and crunch of the nuts after opening. The stand-up design also features
       an expandable bottom that opens into a flat base, allowing it to stay
       upright.  The upright design makes it easier to scoop the nuts right out
       of the bag and into a mixing bowl.  It also makes it more convenient to
       store in the pantry or freezer in between uses. For more information and
       holiday recipes, visit www.fishernuts.com.
