It seems as though each year I fall into the trap of thinking once we are through the holidays things will slow down a little bit. But as business owners I am quickly reminded that tasks just shift and feel equally as busy in January. Maybe next month? 😉
In the short cold days of winter I like to have easy and comforting dishes. This one pot ground beef gnocchi is the perfect combo of simple, creamy and flavorful, especially when using store bought gnocchi. I often make a quick batch of garlic bread to go along with the dish and the kiddos are pleased. Hope you enjoy!
