What do you do for meal plans that call for silvered almonds when you only have whole almonds on hand.? How many almonds would equal 2 tablespoons?

Hi maryq195, 

When a recipe calls for slivered almonds and you only have whole almonds, simply use a food grinder to chop them up, or use a knife and sliver them yourself.  Then measure out 2 tablespoons with your measuring spoons.  If you for some reason cannot do this, a good rule to follow is just a "palm-ful" of nuts is all you need for a healthy serving of good fats! 

Good luck,
