About a month ago, I was telling a friend about my food-related to-do list when we got on the subject of split pea soup, something that had been on my list for a while. She began extolling the virtues of this soup and how she had just tried a new recipe, so I decided that [...]

Posted by Tracy | Filed under dinner, lunch
It’s been quite a while since I posted my recipe for sweet potato gnocchi with brown butter sauce, so I decided that it was high time to post my go-to gnocchi recipe that this sweet, autumn version is based on. This is what I make when I want comfort food and have a little extra [...]
