I then walked home from work, and headed to Market Basket to get some groceries.

Lots of veggies, fruits, lean meats, and low fat dairy! :)




I had read about a bean/pistachio dip and decided to whip something up as a study break this afternoon.

Pistachios, cannellini beans, garlic, and parsley


Pulsed creation


Cannellini & Pistachio Dip

1/4 cup pistachios
1 can of cannellini beans(rinsed and drained)
1/2 cup of parsley
clove of garlic(minced)
2-4 tablespoons of olive oil(depending how dry you like your dip)
salt and pepper


Pulse beans, pistachios, parsley and garlic until grainy in food processor. Then add olive oil, and pulse until desired texture. Add salt and pepper to taste.


Healthy snack ready for Dave after work!





We turned the grill on for the FIRST tonight. We had turkey burgers, and kamut pasta salad(arugula, fresh mozz, tomatoes, olive oil and parsley)
