I got the gnocchi at World Market, it is made by Gia Russa. I live in Ohio, and they are made in Ohio, so I’m not sure if it is a local product or not, but definitely look for them

I have a no fail pie crust recipe that is amazing, flaky, delicious… works EVERY time for EVERY pie

Best Pie Crust Recipe:
3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups shortening (crisco)
1 tsp salt

Cut those together with a pastry blender

In a separate bowl mix:
1 egg
1 tsp vinegar
5 Tbsp. cold milk

Make a well in the dry mixture and pour in the wet mixture. Combine using a fork. I usually end up using my hands to finally combine once its mixed pretty well. Chill for a 10 min or so and use plenty of flour to roll out. It makes about 2-3 crusts.

My grandma and I spend a summer testing crust recipes until we found our favorite. She is in AZ right now with my parents and they all demanded I email them the recipe to use for pumpkin pies this year

Funny thing – I had gnocchi last night for dinner as well! I actually found a whole wheat variety made with sweet potatoes that was delicious.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I can commiserate with your baking worries – I made a roasted sweet potato cheesecake yesterday for Thanksgiving today, and water somehow leaked from the water bath into the foil-wrapped springform pan. I’m concerned that the crust got all soggy… we’ll just have to wait to see! Even if our crusts turn out sub-par, I’m sure the cheesecake and apple fillings will be delicious.

The b. good special burger sounds awesome! Will they make it again? I would definitely try it.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Elina!!
