Gnocci!

I forgot to blog about the gnocci I made!  Oh, it was SOOOOO good!  This is one recipe I'll definitely be using again, vegan or not!  I got this recipe from TheKindLife.com  We ate almost all of it.  Yum!

Gnocci with Vodka Sauce

Kind Lifer Caseydog posted this recipe for a kind version of ‘Gnocchi with Spicy Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce’ in the forum, and it looks and sounds so delicious! I love gnocchi! Can’t wait to try this recipe. Caseydog wrote, “I love gnocchi (Italian potato dumplings) and some warm pasta sounded nice on this cold rainy night. I have been craving the indulgent vodka tomato cream sauce that I have tried at restaurants. Well, I have lightened up this version, making it almost fat free and vegan.” I just love when people take recipes that they used to love, but change them to make the dishes healthier. I love delicious food that not only tastes great, but is also kind to our bodies! Here is the yummy recipe... Let me know if you try this! And thank you Caseydog!
