Not all peaches and cream

Croissant sandwich Cut croissants in half and assemble sandwich-style with a mixture of soft cottage cheese, chopped walnuts, and chopped peaches or bananas.

The contrasting flavors and textures are pleasing at breakfast or for dessert.

Light dessert

To dress up fruit cocktail for a light dessert, toast 1/2 cup walnuts and add to 2 cups chilled, drained fruit cocktail. Stir in 1/2 pint sour cream and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Walnut garnish

For a small hors d'oeuvre, sandwich between 2 walnut halves a mixture of cream cheese and Roquefort, to taste. Also delicious as a garnish for most any kind of salad or cold dish.
