Did Someone Say Bacon?

Yep, I said bacon.  As with just about anything, bacon is good in moderation.  In my recent quest to find great dinner recipes, I found one for scallops with – you guessed it – bacon.  I found it on a recommendation to check out Mark’s Daily Apple.  It’s a blog geared towards primal and paleo eating.  These types of blogs are great since we try to just have a meat and some veggies for dinner, and avoid starches (even rice!) at night.  Before I go any further, here’s the link for the recipe for scallops with bacon: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/scallops-and-bacon/#axzz2xjqS1VtX

Here’s why I love this recipe: As with the last post, it’s easy to prepare.  Cooking the bacon and thawing the scallops are what take the longest time.  The combination of olive oil and lime juice used with the scallops make the kitchen, actually most of the house, smell fresh.  And you get to have bacon.  How can you lose?

As for a veggie side, we like to have steamed green beans sautéed in butter or olive oil with a little garlic thrown in. You could also do asparagus (which is in season right now) or snap peas, whatever suits your taste buds.

Hope this gives you another great idea for dinner one night!  See you at the gym!!
