I love blueberry bagels and cream cheese. They're probably ... no ... definitely my favorite food. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only take one food with me (nutritional value aside), I would take blueberry bagels and cream cheese. I've often joked (only somewhat kidding...) that I could go on an all-bagel diet (with some proteins beyond cream cheese thrown in for delicious bagelwiches). In fact, I'm eating a blueberry bagel with cream cheese right now (not even one I made in this recipe... while making this recipe, I ate a storebought blueberry bagel with cream cheese).

The gnocchi are surprisingly easy (if messy) to make; and freeze well. This goes great with almost any creamy pasta sauce, but especially will with a truffle cream sauce, makes ~100 gnocchi

2 lbs whole baking potatoes
2 beaten egg yolks
1 1/2 cups flour
Pinch of salt

Another recipe from Mom, the ever-useful pie crust, that can be filled with fruit, sugar and cinnamon/allspice to make all kinds of pies/cobblers, or with omelette fixin's for a quiche, or spread flat and add some OJ in place of water and make a dessert "pizza crust" to top with marscarpone and berries/sliced fruit...

1.25 c flour
1/5 tsp salt
2/3 c Crisco shortening (or cold butter/margarine)
Cut in shortening with fork until forms coarse, mealy mixture - don't ovrdo this step, or the crust will be too crumbly.

Add
.25 c flour mixed with
3.5 tbsp water

An excellent alternative to beef burgers! Mix feta in with the meat for easier "cheeseburger" preparation.
