Pumpkin Gnocchi

Don't mind the color of these gnocchi... pumpkin + wheat = brown. Gnocchi are pretty bland on their own, its usually the sauce they're served with that wows us. I did add some spicing to the actual gnocchi, but I still think they need a sauce... I didn't make the sauce below but it's been rattling around in my head for a while and if I'd had cas...

I wrote an article on splenda today....As you can see, playing with spaghetti squash is my new obsession.

Sesame Peanut Spaghetti Squash

This dish came out far better than I ever imagined. Scott not only thought it was delicious, he commented that it was a "complex" dish that had all the elements (sweet, spicy, savory) of a quality restaurant meal. Did I mention its pitifully easy and comes together in a snap?? I didn't use the peanut variation on my dish... but did on Scott's. I...
