Hey there, gnocchi!
I nabbed this pack of Gia Russa whole wheat gnocchi made with sweet potato at the grocery store on Sunday and was so excited to try it that I cut open the pack on Sunday night to try a raw one.
Bad idea.
Raw gnocchi is freakin’ nasty!
Fortunately cooked gnocchi is delicious… though this particular pack had kind of a weird aftertaste.
I cooked the whole wheat gnocchi while roasting cauliflower and broccoli to served with the dumplings.
Once everything was ready, I topped it all off with marinara sauce and a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
I loved the doughy texture of the gnocchi but am not sure I’d buy this brand again because of the odd aftertaste.
Almost Easter
Before signing off for the night, can I get three cheers for only two days remaining in the work week? I am so looking forward to Easter and seeing my family and Ryan’s family. I feel like it has been forever since we’ve seen everyone!
We’re spending Easter at Ryan’s mom’s house and are planning on helping his mom prepare a delicious brunch. In case you are looking for a fun Easter dish to make this weekend, I highly recommend baking a bunny cake!
Not only are they delicious, but they’re festive and adorable!
Here are two options that my mom, sister and I made last year…
And now I want cake. Hmph.
Only a couple more days until I welcome sweets back into my life! This whole yogurt for dessert thing is getting o-l-d.
I love gnocchi! I’ve never tried raw gnocchi before and now I know not to! I’m actually planning on eating some gnocchi tonight for dinner! I can’t wait!
Those cakes look awesome!
Hope
The only sweet potato gnocchi I’ve ever had was from Trader Joe’s — and it. was. AWFUL.
Three cheers for the end of Lent! I had no problem giving up meat, but I think if I’d given up sweets, I’d be itching for about a tablespoon of pure table sugar at this point!

Three cheers for a short work week up here in Canada

Also, I don’t know if you sign up for Groupon but the Minneapolis deal is $10 for $25 to Nutty Guy! He sells Chia Seeds along with a bunch of other stuff, I thought of you right away…here it is! http://t.co/7FQxVud
