Lemon Crusted Haddock w/ Gnocchi


I used Frozen prepared Haddock from Chef's Collection, so that was quite the cheat.  The Gnocchi was the star, but it didn't come out exactly like it was supposed to.  For my first time, though, it was a win.

For Gnocchi:

4 Potatoes (peeled)
2 Tbsp Butter
1.5 cups Flour
S&P to taste

In hindsight, I would have cut my potatoes before boiling them to make the boil time significantly shorter, so you should def. do that.  Boil your peeled/cubed Potatoes until soft.  Mash them up (essentially making mashed potatoes for this part) and add Butter.

When the potatoes have cooled off, add your Flour to make a doughy substance.  Roll your dough on a floured surface into long ropes and cut into 1 inch pieces.

Add these pieces to boiled water and remove when they float to the top. S&P those bad boys and serve as is.

You can also add sauce to your Gnocchi - cheese, tomato, etc. - and Big Steven pointed out these would be a super addition to a great soup!

NOM NOM.

CVS Trip 5/1/2011 + Total from last week

Like I said in a previous post, last week was a mess because I bought the wrong product, had to exchange it and go back again to make sure I got my EBs.  Total, I ended up spending $15.49 OOP, which included this trip plus 2 Clean & Clear Face Washes + a Clean & Clear Body Wash (that I gave to my future sis-in-law).  At the end of the day (or days), I had $10 in EBs!  Bottom Line - With OOP minus EBs, I spent $5.49 on a LOT of things.



Transaction #1:

3 4pk Starbucks Frappucino
2 Colgate Toothepaste
3 Nivea Body Wash
2 Herbal Essences Hair Styling Products

Total OOP: $24.28
Got: $17.54 EBs :)

Obviously, had I split up the transactions, I would have spent MUCH less out of pocket.  Honestly, I just didn't feel like it this week and I plan to take advantage of a few more deals anyways, so those EBs are going to come in handy.  How you shop is up to you and your budget!

You wanna learn to CVS?  I would love to teach you!  Just leave me a message and I'll walk you through it!
