Wheat Gnocchi Dish

Before the New Year, I was so excited in anticipation of participating in the Awakening fast with our church, but as the start date drew near I knew that the timing wasn't right to take part in it. So Matt and I agreed that we would fast in March, which really is perfect because it falls into the Season of Lent anyway. After March 31st we may add in some fish (or at least I'm sure Matt will).

For our fast, we decided to do a raw diet during the day and prepare a full meal at night. Since I work from home I'll be doing juices and smoothies for my raw diet during the day, but Matt will be bringing raw veggies and fruits to work. Week 3 we're going to push ourselves and do a raw diet for the entire week! It will be a challenge, but I feel so ready for this physically, emotionally, and spiritually!

For dinner tonight, I made some wheat gnocchi. I prefer to roll my own gnocchi, but I've never made a wheat version and I don't even know if our local grocery store would carry what I need, so we just bought the wheat version packaged gnocchi. I sauteed some onions, garlic, and spinach in olive oil and tossed in some tomatoes toward the end. We sprinkled some soy "parmesan" on top. The wheat gnocchi isn't my fave because of the texture (I just adore soft, pillowy texture of regular gnocchi) but the sauteed spinach was fabulous! Definitely going to add this to our regular rotation of recipes!
