Grace's Gnocchi Carbonara made by my daughter Grace is fantastic. It is a wonderful twist on a classic dish. Why didn't I think of that!? Talk about comfort food!

I just love gnocchi. I’ve always made it with a red sauce or sometimes pesto. This looks really good. I’m a vegetarian so I’ll swap out the bacon for toasted pecans maybe. I’d love other suggestions for bacon substitution.
More importantly, those of us in the rest of the country, who think of the people we’ve followed online for years as friends, are thinking about you every minute of the day. I know I’m donating to the animal shelters down there. I wish we could all come like a swarm of locusts and rebuild the area.
