In November, I attended a class at The Cambridge School of Culinary Arts where we learned how to make gnocchi. There were ten of us; we paired up and chose between different recipes. I chose the basic gnocchi recipe It is a gorgonzola, marscapone, and pecan sauce you see on it. It was very good!

In November I also decoupaged my white pumpkin. The white pumpkin was just too plain for me. So I jazzed it up. What do you think?

December was Christmas cookie time. I chose to make Russian Teacakes, Gingerbread Snowflakes, and Espresso Crinkles. The express crinkles were delicious!

Also in December I went to a Gingerbread Birdhouse decorating class at Marmalade, a cute little shop in Belmont center. I would have never guessed I would have left with a pink gingerbread birdhouse. But it felt right as I was creating it.

Another fun event at Marmalade; wreath making. I chose to make the fresh cranberry wreath.

I painted this in February....I went to The Paint Bar. You are guided through the painting by an instructor. Quite fun!
I have been trying to incorporate more grains into my diet. It was time to try farro. I have never been a soup person. But I found a soup recipe containing farro that looked good. So I gave it a try. It is called Zuppa di Farro. Maybe it was the pancetta that made it so delicious! Give it a try!

I didn't make or bake anything in March worth writing about. But I did go to The Elephant Walk. A french cambodian restaurant in Cambridge. If you ever get the chance you must go. The food is delicious. My favorite dish is poullet au citron!
The caramel chocolate tart was just sweet enough.
Well that does it. I am all caught up with what I have been making and baking. I hope you are inspired to give farro a try, get a bottle of Mod Podge or pull out that glue gun and create!
