gnocchi a mano {by hand}!

I don't usually post about food and such, I'd much rather keep this blog just for artsy related stuff....but I was just too stoked that this actually went well that I felt the need to share!

In keeping with my list, I made gnocchi by hand last night! It may not be pasta exactly but it sure was tasty...

 






















         Gnocchi is one of my favorite Italian dishes...I'm a sucker for it if it's handmade. I used this recipe from Food Network and it made quite a lot for just 3 potatoes!























                      Gigantic ball of delicious potato dough! I didn't have an actual ricer or a scraper/slicer but the combo use of a cheese grater, heart-shaped cookie cutter and parring knife worked just fine!



We ended up doing a simple butter an sage sauce on top...then poured on the parmesan! Soooo good!

faythurs and ribbons

I'm on a bird and ribbon kick right now! Keeping with my list, here's a new little bird, a Titmouse to be exact, that's headed straight to my Etsy store.
