Crispy gnocchi with pesto

We made this crispy gnocchi with pesto from Rachael Ray a few weeks ago and it was a big hit!  It is simple to make and has lots of flavor.  In fact, it's so festive in it's red and green that we're planning to serve it as part of our Christmas dinner this year!

Pat's famous beef and pork chili

We're always looking for new chili recipes around here, and I found this one on the Food Network site for Pat's famous beef and pork chili.  Pat is a Neely, of Neely's BBQ in Memphis.  This is a great traditional, hearty chili.  We topped ours with sour cream, scallions, and Fritos, of course!  Oh, and the recipe says it feeds 4-6, but I'd say it's more like 8-10.

Italian chicken soup

Our second successful Pioneer Woman recipe this month- we're on a roll!  This time it was her Italian chicken soup.  I used boneless skinless chicken breasts and baked them in oven instead of poaching them in the broth.   This soup is hearty, spicy, creamy and delicious!
