But I can’t seem to post this to my other sites? Oh well, check this out anyways, hopefully it’ll work! (give it a few to load, it’s kind of big)

Ingredients

- 1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained
- 1 (15.5 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1/4 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapeno peppers
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 cup Italian salad dressing
- 3/4 cup chopped cilantro

Well, I looked around the kitchen and had three ingredients, but didn’t know what I wanted to make:  1) Chicken breast, 2) Asparagus, 3) Prosciutto.

My original thought for dinner was to marinate the chicken in something and then grill them, then wrap the asparagus in the prosciutto and grille that… then make some potato dish.

A couple of months ago, I was over our friend Mary I’s house and we were talking about, of all things, food! I mentioned how I made gnocchi with the kids and we had a great time doing it as a family… and Mary thought “ooh, let’s have a get together and make gnocchi”. Well, we did it and it was an absolute success!

I was backing out of our driveway to bring the kids to school and I actually stopped, got out, grabbed my camera and took this shot… it was too cool to miss…
