This Pesto Pasta is made with chunks of potato and French green beans. Pesto recipe from My Tuscan Kitchen. Very Delicious!!

The lettuce tart, my starter, and the apple tart, dessert, both from My Tuscan Kitchen. Both easy to make and delicious. This is the second time I have made these. Thank you Aurora!!!

I served these sweet potato gnocchi's, recipe from a Bon Appetit & Gourmet Holiday Entertaining book. They were really really good! I also served herbed rack of lamb, recipe from Gordon Ramsey

I had some friends over for dinner last night. I had a great time cooking and sharing.

Focaccia from My Tuscan Kitchen cookbook. There is potato in the dough. It was easy to make and a big hit with my friends! Very tasty!

I thought I would try Gnnochi's with Chanterelle mushrooms. Wow, this was really good and quick.  It has garlic, sage, olive oil and butter salt and pepper.  It was so tasty that I even forgot to add parm
