Oven Fried Scallops Hi Everyone! Not to panic anyone BUT do you realize in 3 weeks it is Christmas? I am in such a wonderful mood about Christmas this year!! It has always been one of my favourite holidays but usually I get myself worked up to the point of PANIC!
Yesterday while working on the newsletter, I accidently lost 2 weeks worth of upcoming recipe drafts and had to start over again. The recipe I had chosen for today is gone so I decided to post what we had for dinner last night, which was WONDERFUL I might add! I had hoped for a crunchier coating but the scallops themself were tender and tasty! We had them with pan-fried steak, cooked carrots and raw veggies. This recipe is now in my keeper folder and we will be trying them again. Usually when we have scallops, hubby puts them on the barbecue, wrapped in bacon but with the weather as it has been, hubby decided to try something different. Enjoy!
