I suddenly feel like I have a teenager. And it literally happened overnight. Okay, not literally….but it sure feels like it! Not only because Ellia is 7/8 my size (what!?) but because of everything else that’s changing. Like her moods. And her friend drama. And her tone. And her schedule! And most of the time, I honestly feel like I can’t keep up. God help me.

I know this is only the beginning (she’s only 10) but I am bracing myself. Because I can already feel what’s to come. And I’m trying to be patient with it, because what’s my other option? But in all reality, I don’t know if I’m up for this. Because suddenly, it’s like her needs are controlling our life. We’re all getting up early to take her to school for meetings and clubs and we’re all piling in to the van to pick her up later from meetings and clubs…and I don’t want to say no to any of it…but whew. Some days it feels like a lot. And she’s only the first of four.

Spring Vegetable Gnocchi

Cue our need for easy meals. And when I say easy, I mean EASY. And this Spring Vegetable Gnocchi fits the bill! It’s unbelievably simple to make – just chop the vegetables, add everything to the skillet, and let it do its magic. The cook time is all of about 5 minutes, and the end result is creamy, flavorful Spring Vegetable Gnocchi goodness.

Are you a fan of gnocchi? It’s one of my favorites, and I seriously love how creamy this Spring Vegetable Gnocchi dish turns out. Without any dairy! My family loved it, and it’s perfect for people with busy lives (aka all of us). Now if only there was something that could help us deal with the teenagers in our lives. Maybe a glass of wine to go with the gnocchi?
