I'm a Latina blogger and the mother of three children. Although I was born in Argentina, my husband and I decided to raise a family in the United States. My passion is writing about everyday life, and how to live it to its fullest. My goal is more than just improving the quality of my family’s life. Like an artist, my goal is also to look for beauty in everything I do and in everything that exists around all of us, because we moms have a little bit of artist in us, too. I believe all mothers hope to introduce our best creations, our children, to a whole world of flavors and colors, like in a fairy tale. I want my children to experience a life worth living fully. Life really is “rica”! Visit my blog in Spanish ‘Mama XXI’: www.mamaxxi.com

Homemade Potato Gnocchi

When I arrived in the United States, one of the things I missed most was the food from my country, especially the food that my mom used to make. Upon noticing my feelings of nostalgia, an Argentinian friend taught me how to make from scratch one of my favorite dishes that my mom used to make for me: homemade gnocchi. I remember the day we made it; it was snowing out and we got together with my friend and her kids to scatter flour everywhere, while we laughed and drank `mate´. Gnocchi is easy to make, even though it takes some time, but it is a lot of fun to make with the kids.

Culinary experiences are family moments that turn into unforgettable memories, strengthening bonds and offering an identity through culinary culture.

I hope you decide to prepare this recipe – one of my mom´s specialties – which obviously has the Italian seal, a feature of most of the traditional recipes from my native country.
