What I'm Reading This Week #34

Hello you sassy beast!  Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend?  Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts.  I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season.  I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed.  It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll.   We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance.  It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th.  Do people even celebrate their 30t...

Food Review: Trader Joe's Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Butter & Sage

After seeing this in the freezer section for quite a while, I decided to finally throw it in the cart the other day.  Last night was time to give it a try.



Here's the blurry nutritional info.



and the cooking instructions.


I decided to go saucepan route since I thought the microwave might make it mushy.  Here it is fresh outta da bag.


I added 3 tbsp of water total and here's how it came together.


The finished product.


I made it with BBQ shrimp and green beans.



The verdict?

Holy schnikes!!  It was absolutely wonderful!  It had a nice subtle flavor and totally filling.  I don't know that I'd really say I could identify it as sweet potato though but that doesn't matter.  The Mr agreed we should get it again.  I would suggest pairing it with something like shrimp with a punch of flavor because of how subtle the dish is on it's own.

    Definitely good stuff! I always like the way you do shrimp but I honestly had no idea what to expect with the gnocchi and it was a huge surprise just how good it was. Thanks!

    I like gnocchi, I had no idea they had a sweet potato version.

    That's too funny you reviewed this today!
    I have a bag of this in my freezer and I was planning to try it (finally) tonight!

    The other gnocchi they have is pretty good too. the red sauce one.
