Pecans

I think pecans are more fattening than other types of nuts, but I have a lot of them from my yard. Any tips on healthy ways to use them in cooking?

I like to occasionally put them in my salads as a protein source.

To make a quick easy light chocolate dessert, make sugar-free pudding with low-fat milk. Mix in a small amount of chopped pecans to give pie a little crunch. Pour into a prepared low fat graham cracker crust. Let set for few minutes in refrigerator.

Pecans are also good added to morning oatmeal, along with raisins or dates.

We made the almond crusted tilapia - but used pecans instead; worked great & our kids liked it.
