Comfort in a bowl, or two!

Oh, my.  Getting behind already.  I'm really trying to stay current with this thing, otherwise, what is the point, really??

Menu:  Sage & Brown-butter Gnocchi with ham.

So tonite after a visit to Nonnie and Papa's, and a late bed for the girls, I dug in the cupboard for dinner for J and I.  Thanks to the aforementioned Big John's PFI, and some brown butter sage, we ended up having a yummy gnocchi with sage brown butter, a little ham and assaggio.  mmm, quite lovely.  Could have used a salad, but you take what you can get this time of night!  And kind of nice to have a dinner with just the 2 of us, even if it was at 10PM.

Other dinners this week, before we put this one to bed:

Thursday Menu: Oven Roasted Salmon, sauteed shitaakes, baby bok choy, and a salad.

The salmon was chinook, from this year's crop, and yummy.  I like the rarer end, J likes the more cooked end, so it all works out.  Nice to have the side of the mushrooms--they added much flavor and richness to the meal.  And I got to take the salmon to work for my favorite salad.  Delish!

Saturday Menu:  Ina Garten's Weeknight Bolognese (another favorite!)

Used the canned tomatoes Yaya and I did this summer, a cheaper red, and some yummy big pappardelle noodles.  Even the girls ate every lick.
