Things have been so crazy around here, that we haven’t had time to do our last two posts of the San Francisco trip, but they will be coming soon!
Until then, the holiday spirit suddenly whisked me away this morning, and I decided to make a run to the overcrowded grocery store to make my favorite cookies.

A couple years ago, Christey and I ate at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon restaurant at the Venetian in Las Vegas. It was the first (and so far only) Keller restaurant we have visited. I had Keller’s gnocchi parisienne, which is a different way of making them from the more common potato or semolina versions. This recipe alone was the reason I bought his Bouchon cookbook, and I’ve since been inspired by several recipes.
Gnocchi parisienne are savory, but made from the more traditionally sweet pâte à choux dough. For the savory version, mustard, cheese, and herbs are added.
For June’s POM Pomegranate recipe, I decided to try to take the pâte à choux gnocchi back toward a sweet direction, and made a dessert gnocci with POM 100% pomegranate juice, served with a pomegranate juice and chocolate ganache.
Dessert inside!

What to do with a tropical storm sitting over us? We still had power…but had no idea if that would continue, or how long this storm was going to last (we’re all fine, by the way. Wind, rain, but no drama).
We didn’t want to do anything too elaborate and be left with a half completed meal…so why not make cookies?
We did a switch again, Christey baked, and I took the pictures. The recipe was an adaptation of my grandmother’s peanut butter cookie recipe.
