    Pistachio Goats Cheese Dip

    Welcome to week 3 of my mini series- party dips! Like my last dip, I also got the idea from this book:

    Delicious Dips Cookbook

    Per my usual cooking methods, I typically just peruse through a cookbook to get ingredient combination ideas. So- I think the ingredients are similar, if not the same- but I’m not sure about the quantities being the same. (They most likely are, but I just wanted  to disclose that and not necessarily try to pass this off as my own idea!) I made this dip for Aaron’s birthday last month when we had a small get together. I had left over pistachios from a dessert I made- Pistachio Mousse- Link for that below, just in case you have a mad love for pistachios like I do.

    Fluffy and Light Pistachio Mousse with Honeyed Coconut CrunchOk- back to the dip of the day. Anyway- I love goats cheese, and  I love pistachios so this was a sure fire winner. I’m a dips and sauces type gal, so I could literally eat a entire meal of dips/appetizers.

    So go on- dip up y’all! (“Dip up” is a saying my friend Lauren- and her Grandma Dixie say, meaning “Suppers up come and get it!” Southern and adorable and I’ve adopted it.)
