The Adventures of Dwarf and Gnome

I will be testing out some recipes from my new cookbooks over the coming weeks and months I am sure. I got a bunch of new cooking "tools" that should lead to some interesting stories. I should have a post up soon about making my own pasta from scratch with my new Kitchen-Aid attachments and I will be breaking in my new cast iron pots with some stew and roasts.

This week I started looking through my new Looneyspoons cookbookand used some of the recipes I came across in the first half of the book.

Garlic Farmers Sausage and Ceaser Salad

Sataday Night Fever (Chicken Satay) - Looneyspoons Collection

I am converting this appitzer into a stir-fry, this might be served with rice or possibly noodles depending on my mood

Chicken Fajitas

Love Me Tenderloin (made with butterfly chops) - Looneyspoons Collection

Mashed potatoes

Veggies (I shall go adventuring in the freezer)

To Be Determined

I determined we would have Pork Schnitzel, Braised Red Cabbage and Cheesy Broccoli after our trip to the Stratford Farmers Market and Costco :)

Southwest Beef Stew with Sweet Potato Dumplings - Thank you Check Michael Smith for inspiring me to try this after watching the Chef at Home marathon on Food Network over the holidays
