Purple Gnocchi with Rosemary Butter
You bettah believe it. Freaking purple! Well, purple during the making, and grayish in the results. But who cares? We can still call it purple. I had this idea a while back when I bought a bag of purple potatoes for this ridiculous bacon flag pizza I made, but I forgot about it once my […]
Grilled Zucchini Ribbon and Kale Salad {Tablespoon Tuesdays}
I guess we should eat something good for us. If we have to. ACTUALLY, this is one of those trickster salads.

Goat Cheese Tomato Pie {Tablespoon Tuesdays}
I’m sorry. Maybe I need to say it again. GOAT CHEESE TOMATO PIE. Hunay chawwwwl. Obviously my favorite part of this dish is the cheese. The buckets of piles of mountains of goat and mozzarella and parmesan cheese. But honestly, aside from the cheese, I think my favorite part of this dish are the thinly […]
