Peanut butter and jelly. Does that ever get old? Not to me. I grew up eating PB&J sandwiches and there are days where I still crave it. It gives me a hit of the childhood days.

I first tried gnocchi when I was making it for some patients I worked with in 2017. At first, I was really confused as to what they were because it looked like little soft dumplings. It’s classified under a pasta but doesn’t taste like the typical spaghetti or rotini texture. It’s made with semolina, wheat… Continue reading Garlic Shrimp Cauliflower Gnocchi
