All of the snow has melted, it’s sunny outside and dare I say warm…?! The weather here is insane, snowing and freezing one minute to blindingly sunny with warm breezes the next…weird. Oh well, I decided to take advantage of days like this and made these otherworldly sweet potato gnocchi with and tossed the gnocchi in a garlic butter sauce with lemon and sage. Absolutely delicious! Gnocchi have an unbelievable texture, like pillowy clouds inside your mouth, so delicate but adaptable to various sauces. They are da best thing ever.
Gnocchi are one of my go to comfort foods, and with the passing of Princess Leia recently…its been needed…sigh.
I think it needs to be said that it has been a weird year. There have been a lot of surprises (good and bad ones) that make closing out this year a welcoming site. I am looking forward to 2017 and all it has to offer! Do you have any goals for the new year? I think my main goal for 2017 is to go on more hikes and enjoy nature. If you’re having trouble coming up with some resolutions, check these out.
Let’s celebrate Princess Leia and all those who have passed this New Year’s. Enjoy the last couple of days of 2016!
