Gnocchi Mac and Cheese
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 [...]
Italian Sub Rolls
Posted by Tracy | Filed under breads & pastries
Several weeks ago when I was hunting for a recipe for sub rolls, I came across this basic italian bread recipe by Emeril. The recipe is supposed to make one large loaf of Italian bread, but I split it up into four smaller loaves. They still ended up being quite large, so I’ll split the [...]
