Garlic Butter Scallops and Broccoli

Happy Wednesday!!!! Today I was thinking about our upcoming trip to Port Aransas and decided to make scallops. I love scallops but they can be a little tricky making them. I found a super easy solution!!!
  1. I get a microwave bag put broccoli, you can use any veggie, and frozen scallops inside.
  2. Before sealing the bag, I put some pieces of garlic butter on top. Seal the bag and microwave for 7 minutes. Your cooking time may vary so start with 5 minutes, check them and then add more time if needed in one minute increments so you don't over cook them.
  3. I like my scallops a little browned... put scallops in a hot pan with some of the garlic butter from the bag and sear them on each side for a minute.
  4. Plate your scallops and broccoli and you have another easy delicious meal!!!

Happy Monday!! I can't believe tomorrow will be three weeks since I started this blog! Time sure does fly when you're having fun!!! Hope you and your family are enjoying the recipes as much as we do. I've gotten several recipes from friends that I can't wait to try and blog about. If you have a favorite recipe and pictures you'd love to share, please email or text me! 😊 My family loves shrimp so today's recipe will not disappoint. Normally I don't use wine when I cook but there are a few exceptions, red wine spaghetti and shrimp in a white wine garlic sauce.  There is no need to go and buy an expensive wine to cook with. The best rule of thumb is, if you drink it you can cook with it! The alcohol in the wine will cook out and you will only be left with the flavor. I chose an orange moscato, made in Fredericksburg, because the orange flavor goes great with the garlic, butter and shrimp. You can serve this dish with either pasta, or my favorite, creamy pole

Jalapeno Fries with Roasted Garlic Ranch Dip

Happy Wednesday!!! I love vegging out and watching Food TV on the weekend. A few weeks ago I was watching Valerie's Home Cooking and saw the amazing recipe I'm talking about today. How many of you love fries and who doesn't love jalapenos! Well, you're gonna love this....jalapeno fries with roasted garlic (not just plain garlic, but roasted garlic) ranch dip. Now, if you're not a fan of jalapenos (although I don't know why) you can use zucchini or green beans in place of the peppers. The recipe is easy to make but does take a little time, so be patient. You really need to watch out though, my family was eating this up as fast as I was making it!!   Roasted Garlic Ranch Ingredients:   1 large head garlic, top third cut off 1 tsp avocado oil   1/4 c buttermilk    1/4 c mayonnaise    2 tbs sour cream    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper    1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives    Preparation:   1. Preheat the oven to 425 deg
