Hint of Pistachio

I love to freeze cookie dough to bake off when the fancy strikes.  But, sometimes I want to spice up my plain old chocolate chip cookies.  I tried rolling the shaped cookies in ground pistachios.  It added some good texture and flavor.

Simply roll your favorite chocolate chip cookies in ground pistachios and bake as usual.  I used Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies made with 1/4 whole wheat flour.

Greek Yogurt Dip

An easy recipe, because it's pretty obvious that I've been lazy lately.  I never post here.  I will do better! Promise.

So, this tastes great.  It's healthier than most dips and goes great with raw veggies, crackers or potato chips.

You'll Need:
- 6 oz. plain Greek yogurt (fat free FAGE)
- 3 tablespoons American Neufchâtel 
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning (such as Sunny Paris and Green Goddess)
- Dash salt and pepper


First.  (and last)


Mix everything together in a small bowl vigorously, using a whisk.  I topped mine with chopped chives.
