This week I finally tried the Turkey-Sausage and Gnocchi Soup and wasn't disappointed. I'm a huge fan of turkey sausage in soups and fell in love with Gnocchi when I lived in Uruguay. Gnocchi are dumplings made of semolina, ordinary wheat flour, or potatoes. I've only had them made with potato, but semolina sounds good too. Generally, I think 5 ingredient recipes taste like they're missing ingredients, but I think this recipe is actually good enough to eat "as is." This soup + salad + crusty bread = bliss. The Gnocchi really lends a creaminess that I haven't tasted in other similar soups made with tortellini or potatoes. Anyways, I can't wait to take the leftovers to work this week.
Last week I didn't make a lot of recipes on my schedule. The lasagna I made seemed to be never ending so we had the leftovers for lunch a few days. We also went to the Utah State Fair one night as evidenced by the above pictures. Jackson had fun petting the animals and I ate a foot long corn dog. I think that's something you should only try once. Here's this week's itinerary:
Monday: Seasoned Turkey Burgers and Corn on the Cobb
Tuesday: White Bean and Bacon Soup with Breadsticks
Wednesday: Spaghetti and Meatballs with Green Salad- "Williams and Sonoma Kid's Cookbook"
Thursday: Chicken, Pesto, and Tomato Pizza
Friday: Lighter General Tso's Chicken
Saturday: Free Day
Sunday: Fast Chicken Fajitas
Oh one more thing...I'm going to try to eat one dessert a week. This week, I'm going to dream about eating these.

Your hair is so cute, Laura! And Jackson is getting so big! What an adorable little man. Oh, your recipes look awesome too. :)
Is that a deep-fried corn dog about to go into the mouth of my healthy-food loving niece?! I know I wouldn't be able to resist that myself! Have always wondered what deep-fried Twinkies taste like that are at so many Fairs.
