2. Cinnamon roasted almonds (h/t Joyful Healthy Eats)
Almonds are fine raw, but they taste about 100 times better after they've been baked. When you add a bit of cinnamon, the result is heaven on a plate. You can eat this alone or add them as a topping on oatmeal.
3. Blueberry-orange pancakes (h/t Its Yummi)
Now this recipe calls for almond extract to go inside the pancake, but I think adding a but to the glaze and/or some roasted almonds to the top would be a tasty way to add more almond flavor.
4. Almond-crusted tilapia (h/t Pinch of Yum)
If you enjoy a breaded fish, you know that it can be quite unhealthy. But, you can help keep that dish on your list of healthy foods, by swapping out the breading for an almond topping. Tasty, and healthy.

Get the kids helping with this if you need a rainy day treat that will occupy the troops as well as making your house smell like a chocolate shop. Get the recipe here.

Amp up your lunch by using almond dipping sauce to chicken satay. Serve these skewers with a side salad. The best part? You can easily make this recipe with any meat of your choice. If you are vegetarian, swap the chicken out for tofu or other veggies.
