Simple Recipe: Pan Seared Scallops
I’ve been debating whether or not to post this simple recipe, that I’ve followed several times over the summer.  I am not much of a cook, but I’m trying to change that with simple recipes.  I’m also trying to branch out with my blog and post about other topics as well as about books.
Blogging Note:  I am using the free WordPress plugin ‘EasyRecipe’ that I discovered while implementing the Fun theme by Pretty Darn Cute Design on my blog earlier this year.
I am linking this post with Beth Fish Reads, WEEKEND COOKING.

Oooh – interesting plug-in! I link up with Beth Fish Reads’ Weekend Cooking occasionally to share recipes and this could be useful. You should link up there too – it’s on Saturdays!
And, I love simple recipes that don’t use a lot of ingredients.
Oooh, thanks so much for linking up! This kind of plug-in is just the kind of thing that will eventually push me to switch to WordPress. The scallops look awesome! We all need simple, tried-and-true recipes.
That plug in is awesome! I may have to try it, as well as you recipe.
We love scallops and I haven
t made them in a long while –more salmon and shrimp lately, but look forward to trying this recipe soon. Have a great weekend.
I love the plugin! That’s a great recipe format. I’ve never made scallops at home though I do always enjoy them at a restaurant. This looks pretty simple but tasty so I may have to try them. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
The scallops sound delicious, will have to give them a try. Too old to know what a plug-in is 🙂 other than electrical ones.
Lovely to meet you via Beth Fish! Scallops are fantastic and quick to cook. Cheers
Pat, thanks for sharing this delicious recipe! I am tempted to try it soon. I hope you are having a good week!
Scallops are my favourite, so quick, easy and delicious. And wordpress has all the cool plug-ins, I’d like to move away from blogger but change is intimidating. Thanks for sharing Pat.
