One of my favorite things to do when I go home is cook with my dad. My parents had made this dinner at a friends house a couple weeks before I came home.
They enjoyed it so much that my dad remade the gnocchi for him and my mom and the next night when I was home, we all made the meal all over again!

 |
| Saltimbocca- chicken instead of veal, prosciutto, with a sage leaf |
 |
| In Italian, Saltimbocca translates into "jump in your mouth". |
 |
Finished product! Gnocchi drizzled with a basil butter sauce and pan seared saltimbocca.
|
In the Sloan household, the entrees are usually made by dad, and the salad or desert is left up to my mom(if we are lucky and tonight we were!)
This is a favorite of my parents, and it is slowly growing on me.
 |
Butter lettuce dressed with a little bit of olive oil, thinly sliced lemon, walnuts, and topped with blue cheese.

If there is one thing my mom never fails to compliment the meal with is flowers. We may be looking forward to a salad afterwards and be disappointed but we are never eating without some sort of my moms creativeness in the middle of the table!
