Well Happy National Pistachio Day to you.

Bet ‘ya didn’t know we were celebrating….

Well we are.

So, bring along your party hat because this recipe is soooooo party-worthy.

Never had millet?

Have no fear. It’s a gluten-free grain that my family loves and it’s always fun to switch up the grains, isn’t it? You can’t tell me that eating rice every week ain’t boring. I know it is- and that’s why I’ve gotta fun new grain for you to dig into tonight.

I made this recipe over the weekend and it’s truly delicious.

I can’t believe I’ve been silent about it and haven’t shouted out from the rooftop on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram where I usually showcase my masterpieces.

I guess I just wanted to surprise you.

Dry Roasted Pistachios and Millet are a match made in heaven. Seriously, you guys need to try this…like tonight!

I whipped up this easy dish in under 30 minutes (take that Rachael Ray, hehe)… I tossed a few ingredients from my pantry into this dish- one’s that you probably have lying around too.  The combination of coconut milk yogurt, orange juice and pistachios is amazing. Like, way beyond amazing.

And you’re gunna love it.

I just know it. So, what are you waiting for? Print this baby out and get your booty home to party with your pistachios on this very fine National Pistachio Day!
