Notes

*When I lived in California, there was a great chain of grocery stores called Sprouts near me where I did almost all of my shopping. They had a bulk section with shelled pistachios, which they labeled as 'pistachio nut meats' and to this day it still cracks me up and I will 100% forever call them that. If you can only find the shelled pistachios, then shell them yourself - that's what we do now!
