They say you learn something new everyday. I was raised in a kosher home and continue to do so as a very seasoned adult, I have never heard of not eating walnuts on Rosh Hashanah. I make my mandlebread, my late mother's secret recipe, with walnuts all the time.
I noticed that you use the coarse white sugar on the top, but unfortunately, I ordered it for the Apple Harvest Challah and since it is made in equipment that makes dairy it can not be used for a parve food item. Kosher Parve must be marked to be sure. One of the national chain specialty grocery stores makes the best parve chocolate chips. I now use them exclusively.
Thanks for the great recipes and information.
