The first time I ever made gnocchi, it was an absolute disaster. I honestly think it's the only time I truly effed up a recipe and had to order pizza. So I was petrified to make this seemingly very complicated pumpkin gnocchi. Let me tell you: it wasn't seemingly complicated, it was complicated. BUT it wasn't unmanageable and it was hands down one of the best meals I've ever made in my life. For a decadent autumnal meal with a decadent flair, this is your new go-to (just make sure it's on a weekend when you have plenty of time to cook, mess up the kitchen, clean it up and - duh - indulge in plenty of wine).

Thanks to working from home the other day with no meetings or calls to attend, I caught a show I've never seen before: Rachael Ray. I could basically smell this dish through the TV. I added tons of veggies, changed some of the proportions and added extra, extra lemon and wow, you have one of the best weeknight one-pot wonders I've ever made. Smokey, yet bright from the lemon, I served this to my entire family and it's now on our top 10 list.

I mean, what's better than breaded chicken? Well, I have to say breaded chicken with lemon and butter may be a tad bit better (obviously). I've seen similar recipes to this floating around the internet for a long time - I finally decided to combine them all and come up with the winning recipe. I am pretty sure you (and the family) will love this as much as we do in our Jewtalian house!

I saw this recipe on "The Chew" and my husband and I immediately started salivating (yes, we were randomly home at the same time watching "The Chew" - don't mock us!). I knew right away I'd be making this dish in the next couple of days. I made a few changes (and they were PERFECT, if I must say so myself) and this is now one of our new favorite dishes. If you'd like to make this a smidge more healthy, use chicken breasts instead of thighs.
