🐟 Seared scallop dinner. 12/13/19

Posted on by redcrosse10999

Omnivore

I skipped a post for yesterday since it was our leftover dinner for the week. We had leftover stuffed peppers. But on Friday we had one of my favorite dinners—plump, seared, ocean scallops with new potatoes and snow peas. And don’t forget homemade tartar sauce! Yum! It makes an ordinary week night dinner seem like a special occasion.

I start steaming the potatoes ahead of John searing the scallops. They only take 15-20 minutes depending on their size. When they are done John heats up the cast iron pan with a little vegetable oil until it is smoking and then lays the scallops in.

In the meantime I have stringed and refreshed the snow peas in some ice water and put them in the pan that the potatoes have just come out of. I spray it with some buttery Pam first. The water still clinging to the snow peas gives

Ridiculously Loaded Twice Baked Potatoes

Posted on by redcrosse10999

You haven’t had baked potatoes until you’ve had my ridiculously loaded twice-baked potatoes! What makes them so ridiculously loaded? They’re filled with chicken, shrimp, broccoli, AND cheese. Then of course there’s the creamy mashed potatoes and chopped bacon bits on top. These are so good and I’m not just saying it because it’s my recipe. It’s honestly one of my favorite original recipes. I have to pat myself on the back for this one. So, I wanted to share it with you all so yall can eat like I do. But fair warning, this isn’t one of those meals that comes together in half an hour. This is about 2 hours and some change of cooking and time in the kitchen. Like for real. So, this probably isn’t the recipe you’d want to make after a long day of work or if you’re just getting in the house around 7/8

Butter & Dill Roasted Salmon

Posted on by redcrosse10999

Salmon filet is one of those things I eat at least 2 to 3 times a month. I know most people like to purchase the portion sizes but that’s not for me. I need more than a portion size. I can literally eat a pound or a pound and a half of salmon filet in one setting. Plus, I find that it’s cheaper to purchase salmon by the pound anyway. Typically a 6 oz. portion of salmon filet is sold for about $3.99 or $4.99 whereas a whole pound of salmon is either $6.99 or $7.99. When you purchase by the pound you can control the portion sizes, essentially getting four 4oz. portions or two 8oz. portions out of one pound of salmon. If you were to buy a pound of the pre-portioned filets it’d be between $16.00 to $20.00! Even if you just bought two portioned filets, it’d still

Mixed Mushroom Stew

Posted on by redcrosse10999

By Angelika Hanna

Inspired by the New York Times Cooking recipe, I describe this dish simply as a delight. It’s sweater weather in food form; a Fall dish in every sense: brown-ish/red-ish in color, earthy and herbaceous in taste, warm and cozy in temperature. It has it all what one desires on a cool Fall day. This is not a fast-to-prepare meal. But it is worth the time, and will it will fill your kitchen with delicious earthy smells. If desired, you could kick this dish up with a tablespoon of brandy, sherry, or Masala; it complements very well the mushrooms and brings out all the flavors even better.
