Okay, so I’ve never met a candy, cookie, or cake I didn’t like. But to keep my sweet tooth in check, I like to keep healthy nibbles on hand. Eating a mid-morning handful of almonds is healthy and satisfying. Almonds are referred to as “the king of nuts” because of their high nutritional value. Plus, the Romans considered them a sign of fertility, happiness, and romance. Try topping your morning cereal or yogurt with chopped almonds. That candy bar with an almond in it doesn’t count!   MARIA DESIDERATA MONTANA
