What's on your kitchen counter?

As a mother of a teen and pre-teen, our house is often filled with friends and neighbors after school.  So what stackable items do I keep on my kitchen counter?  A fruit bowl and a bowl of pistachios.

I was never a huge nut lover as a kid, but I've grown to enjoy peanuts, almonds and pistachios.  And isn't there just something fun about pistachios?  Maybe it's the satisfying way their shells break apart, or that wonderful combination of sweet and savory.  Whatever it is, it works - and almost everyone gravitates to our pistachio bowl.  That's one way I serve up nutrition in my home.  Here's some of the health benefits you'll find in pistachios:
