Welcome back to Mary's Kitchen Club, friends! I'm so happy to spend time with all of you again this month. I have so much to share about pork rinds, especially this month. It's National Nutrition Month! What better time to spread the good news that not only are pork rinds delicious, but they're surprisingly nutritious too! More on that in just a bit.

Now, I would like to thank all of my friends who have been sending me mail and telling me what they think of my Kitchen Club! If you haven't gotten a chance to write, don't fret, it's never too late. Or if you have a minute, fill out my questionnaire and I'll see to it that you're entered into a raffle to win an entire case of pork rinds! Now isn't that a tasty surprise!

Q. I've been trying to get my kids to try pork rinds, but they have been somewhat reluctant. Do you have any suggestions for getting them to try my favorite snack? It'd be so much easier if we could all enjoy the same snack at the same time!

A. You're in luck, Debbie! I have some terrific suggestions for you. Some of which come from moms just like you! Check out what one mom said about her kids eating pork rinds in the "Things I Love Thursday" article. Her children thought they tasted like bacon flavored Cheetos, and she likes them because they don't leave grease on your fingers like many popular snack foods.
