I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Seared Scallops with Kale

Needing some light fare after all that holiday eating?


Ingredients:

 9 scallops
1 tsp flour
4 slices bacon
2 cups chopped kale
1/4 red pepper, diced
1 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup white wine
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp honey

 Begin by blotting the scallops dry with paper towels then dust with a little flour.


Fry up the bacon and chop. Reserve 2 tbsps bacon fat and set the bacon aside. Add the red pepper to the same pan and sauté until tender-crisp. Toss in the kale and mix to wilt then add the bacon back. Remove all to a plate and keep warm.

To the same skillet add back the reserved 2 tbsps bacon fat and 1 tbsp butter. Sear scallops 2-3 minutes on each side. Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve on top of the kale with lemon.
