Today was a lovely little day.
It was gorgeous outside.
I was semi-productive and actually managed to cross things off my never-ending to-do list.
I had an amazing 7-mile run.
And I made a delicious dinner.
Whole wheat gnocci with sauteed chicken andouille sausage and sauce.
A deliciously simple side salad of mixed greens, baby carrots and toasted pumpkin seeds.
And the BEST part?
Freshly baked pepperoni mozzarella bread from my favorite antique bakery – just a dangerous 3 feet away from my apartment
Like pizza but 10x better.
I could’ve just eaten this entire roll for dinner and been happy.
I am definitely going to be using this recipe to make my own VERY VERY soon.
This was the most comforting dinner.
It totally hit the spot.
Dessert:
Happy Sunday everyone!

YUM! The pasta looks wonderful and that bread?! wow.
Yeah the bread definitely stole the show. SO good!
Holy yum! This bread looks fabulous! If I lived near that bakery I’d be going there and buying this bread every single day!
I know – luckily I think they switch up their specialty offering every day so they don’t always have it otherwise I’d be in BIG trouble!
Pepperoni bread is my husband’s favorite, and we haven’t made it in so long! Definitely checking back for your recipe
I plan to tackle it soon with this recipe: http://www.howsweeteats.com/2011/08/pizza-swirl-bread/
Sounds a great meal, especially the bread. Thanks for sharing the recipe link. Definately going to try that!
Let me know how it turns out!
My fiancé would be obsessed with the pepperoni bread! I’ve never heard of whole wheat gnocchi before. I must find some!
I know I hadn’t either before until I found this! It was DELICIOUS!
That bread looks fantastic!! My fiance is in love with pepperoni. He won’t eat pizza without it. So in bread form, he would absolutely be in heaven!
I think he will DEFINITELY love this bread then!
That bread looks amazing!!
It was SO delicious!
Looks amazing! Yum
Was definitely so good – can’t wait to try to make my own!
I would’ve had the roll and the salad and called it a night.
Haha trust me, I thought about it!
Uh oh… this just gave me a very bad craving for some pepperoni bread rolls I used to make…..:)
Haha MAKE THEM! This was delicious. I can’t WAIT to make my own!
That looks incredible…. I wish we had a bakery that makes such amazing bread back in Romania.
I’ve never tried whole wheat gnocchi but it looks delicious with the rustic sauce and sausages! Great food combination… really
Thank you!! All the flavors in this dish definitely came together SO well! I highly recommend it
