Are you sad that pistachios have been recalled? I was, too, until I found out that the pistachios from Everybody’s Nuts are safe! Even better, Everybody’s Nuts has offered to send a prize pack of three bags of their yummy nuts to one lucky reader. Check the bottom of the post for more details!
Dinner last night was more delicious Mediterranean pasta mix on top of about three cups spinach and arugula (looooooove arugula!). And love the parm:
I chopped my pineapple and ate the core plus what I could salvage from the scraps for dessert. (The dark blob is not a turd. It is a fingerful of cashew-almond butter!)
And, now for the giveaway! Like I said, Everybody’s Nuts is going to send three bags of their safe and salmonella-free nuts, each in a different flavor, to ONE lucky reader! To enter, all you have to do is:
1. Leave me a comment on this post telling me why nut recalls make you sad
AND
2. Link back to this contest from your blog OR email me at talesofexpansion@gmail.com to let me know that you are blogless but still want to enter!
The contest will run until 6pm EST on Monday 4/13 to give you ample time to recover from any holiday-ing this weekend. Go nuts!! (I had to do it. Could not help myself.)

It makes me sad because I love nuts… Pistachios and almonds, though a bit expensive for me to buy regularly, are full of wonderful deliciousness, and I would be even more sad to get sick from them than from something I’d normally get sick from.
