cashews with mango juice on the side will always be a favourite of mine, especially in the sun

Add a handful of raw sliced almonds to my tilapia filet as it fries in olive oil.

We use nuts in a lot of meals at my house. Toasted pine nuts in pasta dishes. Toasted cashews or peanuts in Thai dishes. Toasted walnuts, almonds, or pecans in salads.

Finely ground cashews mixed with curry powder and sea salt sprinkled over kale and left in the dehydrator overnight. Spicy kale chips...way better than they sound.

I've got an excellent salad for you using slivered almonds: Brocolli heads cut into bite size, halved baby tomatoes, squares of red onion, slivered almonds, thinly sliced garlic and your basic vinegrette (S&P, red wine vinegar, honey, EVOO, drop mustard, etc) Try some crunchy toasted sourdough bread with a slathering of strawberry jam, slice of bree cheese, and walnuts or cream cheese, apple slices and almonds If you're making pesto, I suggest chopping everything by hand. You'd be surprised what a difference it makes instead of using the blender. Completely different texture and taste.

I like cashews made with the Union Square Cafe Bar Nut recipe - warm nuts with rosemary, some salt. some sweet and cayenne......heavenly smell out of the oven and delicious!

I always eat 5 fresh walnuts a day, just plain, in their shell.

Considering that there was immensely less homelessness when the series was young, that was a pretty brutal and desensitizing outlook to put into a children's educational program. I mean, come on! A character who lives in a trash can and "talks trash" [because "he's trash?"]. It's not like the Sesame Street Business Owners' Association is taking slumlords to task for raising rents until they're unaffordable. Oh wait a minute.....Sesame Street IS about a business owners' association! No way they're gonna go after their own kind. So let's go mock the homeless guy. Maybe sell some merchandise with his likeness.

As with peanuts, almonds technically aren't nuts. Actually, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_(fruit), none of the "nuts" mentioned are.
