Pistachio Ice Cream





     One of my daughter's favorite Ice Cream is Pistachio, so when Vitacost sent me some of their amazing Pistachio's it was a no brainer what I was going to do!!!  These Organic nuts are perfect to pop straight in your mouth or use as an ingredient in a dream filled recipe!  (Luckily for me they have shells on them slowing down my consumption.)  As I was shelling a 1/2 cup for the Ice Cream I couldn't help but play the "one for you one for me" game ...  my love filled smiled rapidly turned upsidedown when my measuring cup was full ... game over :/ ... but ICE CREAM ON !!! ( frownie face turned back upsidedown)  ;)  .....recipe yields 5~1/2 cup servings at 208 calories, 20.6g net carbs and 12g protein.
