Gnocchi at Trader Joe's

The last time we were at Trader Joe's, Rex noticed gnocchi. So he had to buy some.

Gnocchi is made from mashed potatoes and is shapped like pasta. It is of Italian origin and true to it's roots, this package bought at Trader Joe's was imported from Italy. I don't know what they do to it but is doesn't require refridgeration, it was on the shelf by the rice products and polenta.

As long as we have it and we are spending a lazy day at home, we decided to make a chicken gravy to eat with it. We made a roux using "Better Than Bouillion" chicken base. This is another wonderful product, full of great chicken flavor.

Here I am chopping the chicken after grilling it on the grill.
