Jenny went back for seconds for the Gnocchi Gorganzola Gratin. I got that recipe from Bon Appetit. It was delicious, and if you want to be really lazy about it - buy prepared Italian Gnocchi from the store. I got mine from Trader Joe's.
The prime rib was delicious and the left overs made a really tasty Shepards Pie. I got the recipe from the December issue of Cooking Light, Rosemary-Dijon Crusted Standing Rib Roast. A couple of days later, I chopped up the remaining prime rib into small pieces and sauted it quickly with diced carrots and the remaining Au Jus. I put the rib and carrot saute in a 9x13 glass baking casserole and covered it with mashed potatoes. I planned to use the left over mash potatoes, but could not locate them, so I whipped up new mashed potatoes. I then covered the potatoes with shredded cheddar and baked in the oven for 30 minutes and Voila! Shepards pie!
I think the Gnocchi and Prime Rib recipes can be made anytime, especially the Gnocchi. I recommend both recipes!
