Pan-Seared Sea Scallops With Steamed Veggies
August 26th, 2011My pallet has evolved over the last few years, I now like mushrooms and olives. I became curious about sea scallops recently, convinced I would like them now after having tried them in my childhood and spitting them out into a napkin. I swear I did it as politely as possible!

I recommend Plainville Farms ground turkey since they are a certified humanely raised, antibiotic and hormone free company. (more…)
