Today my assistant and I whipped up some lamb sausage in puff pastry and grilled lemon chicken with satay sauce. In preparation for the new adventure I had to make room for the numerous new ingredients I would need by throwing out some of my VERY expired spices and such. I am sure I have more lurking in my cabinets but that is a project for different day. So we made our list and headed to the grocery store, we managed to find everything except the sausage. I decided not to use lamb sausage and try some other variety (lamb sausage is not so easy to find and probably not quite our taste) with our additional stop I decided to try turkey sausage Italian style. Off to the kitchen for some cooking. My assistant was excited at first but like a typical three year old lost interest after a period of time. We had fun but I did feel like I spent the majority of my afternoon cooking or cleaning.
The finished products:
Lemon grilled chicken with satay dip
Sausage in puff pastry
Thumbs up for the lemon grilled chicken
Kelly and Barefoot Contessa - I really enjoyed trying something new. The lemon chicken was great and the kids enjoyed it. I did not grill the chicken and just cooked it in the oven which seemed to work fine. I will for sure make the chicken again probably for dinners. The satay sauce I liked but the kids did not, kind of surprising since it tasted a lot like peanut butter, a big favorite in our house. The sauce was a little thick, maybe next time not so much peanut butter. The sausage thing pretty much a bust. Italian sausage is NOT the kind of sausage to use, the flavor was not right and the sausage was a little dry. I might try this again with different sausage. MAYBE.

Awesome. I love the pics of the kids. Did you know the sausages would look like dongs when you read the recipe? :)
