Brown Butter Seared Scallops
Get perfectly cooked scallops every time with this easy method. Sea scallops (the large ones) are sautéed in butter that turns deliciously nutty as it cooks, to make a super-fast, special dinner. A splash of lemon juice and fresh herbs finish the dish. Round out the menu with sautéed spinach and brown rice or orzo………….

Panko- and Parmesan-Crusted Baked Scallops
These easy baked scallops have a delightful balance of crunchy, golden-brown topping and tender, sweet scallops. They feel decadent like scallops should, thanks to the tasty lemon-butter sauce. Look for uniform scallops; if they’re particularly large, you might need to bake them for more than 10 minutes……………..

Lemon Garlic Scallops
Lemon brightens up sweet scallops in this simple, light dinner. Serve the scallops alongside sautéed spinach with a piece of toasted whole-grain bread to sop up the buttery sauce…………

Today’s Menu: Lobster Rolls with Potato Chips

Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast this morning. 31 degrees and sunny, wind chill in the low 20’s. I have a Hoveround Mobility Chair that I use here at and around the house. Well Medicare makes you get a new one every 5 years. There was a glitch in Medicare approving it over the type of seat. But they finally approved it. A big thank you to my Doctor and Hoveround for the time they spent on getting this Medicare approved! Then at about 10:30 I took my Mom to get her Driver License renewed. Mom is 93 next week and she is very hard of hearing. She was really worried she would fail the hearing test. But she passed and everything is fine! So good news today around our house! For Dinner tonight I prepared Lobster Rolls with Potato Chips.

I had purchased the Lobster from Luke’s Lobster (https://www.lukeslobster.com/) out of Maine a while back. We used 1/2 the order a few weeks ago and I’m preparing the other half for Dinner tonight!

To prepare the Lobster I took a small skillet, sprayed it with Pam Cooking Spray and added a tablespoon of Blue Bonnet Light Butter, and heated it on medium low. As the Butter was melting I increased the heat to in between low and medium heat. Let it heat for 2 minutes and added the Lobster Chunks. Heated it for 2 minutes, stirring several times. Removed it from the heat and put the Lobster in to a bowl. Then added a 1/2 tsp of Lemon Juice, a tsp of Kraft Light Mayo w/Olive Oil, and seasoned it with about 4 pinches of the Luke’s Seasoning. I’ll be using Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Wheat Buns to serve my Lobster on. I topped them with just a light coat of melted Butter and served! Wow, what a Lobster Roll! Huge Chunks of Lobster with that hint of Lemon, Butter, and Luke’s Seasoning. Lobster maybe pricey but worth every cent. The Lobster Meat tasted so Fresh and Sweet. We will be purchasing more from Luke’s Lobster again! Also the Luke’s Lobster arrives Frozen in secure Packaging along with a ship date of your choice!

We had some Mike Sell’s Reduced Fat Chips with the Lobster Rolls. Later for Dessert a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped a dab of Cool Whip Free.

Luke’s Lobster
Luke’s Lobster first opened its doors in the East Village in 2009. We now bring traceable, sustainable seafood to guests across the country. We work directly with fishermen to hand pick the best seafood, bring it straight to our own seafood company and then ship directly to our shacks. Cutting out the middleman means better tasting lobster, crab and shrimp for you to enjoy and a fairer price for our fishermen.

Our lobster meat is flash frozen using liquid nitrogen to preserve freshness and quality. Enjoy lobster shipped from Maine to anywhere in the US!

SUGAR FREE PEACH JAM

Ingredients

4 quarts water
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 pounds ripe peaches
3/4 cup water
1 (1.75 ounce) package SURE-JELL* For Lower Sugar Recipes Fruit Pectin
1/2 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated

Directions

1 – Wash jars and lids in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Fill boiling-water canner half full with water; add jars and water to cover. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat and simmer. Place lids in water to cover in a small saucepan; bring water to a simmer. Simmer until ready to use. Remove and drain jars and lids, one at a time, as needed for filling.
2 – Combine 4 quarts of the water and lemon juice in a large bowl; set aside. Fill a Dutch oven 3/4 full with water; bring to a boil. Immerse peaches for 20 seconds or until skins easily peel away; remove with slotted spoon and plunge into ice water. Slip skin off peaches using a paring knife. Cut peaches in half; remove pits. Place peach halves in the water and lemon juice solution to prevent browning. Cut peaches into chunks; place in food processor. Process until finely chopped. Measure exactly 3 cups of fruit.
3 – Combine peaches and 3/4 cup water in a large saucepan. Gradually add pectin, stirring until blended.
4 – Bring mixture to a full rolling boil (a boil that doesn’t stop bubbling when stirred) over medium-high heat. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add Splenda Granulated Sweetener stirring until Splenda Granulated Sweetener dissolves. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
5 – Ladle hot jam immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4-inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with 2-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on rack in canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil.
6 – Process 10 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing center of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.) Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Once opened, store refrigerated and use within 2 weeks.
NOTES:
The flavor of succulent summer peaches really comes through in this simple recipe.

Today’s Menu: Lobster Rolls with Potato Chips

The last day of 2020, finally! We woke up to about 1/2 inch on the ground and 22 degrees. So to heat the morning up I made us a good Breakfast. I prepared some Glier’s Goetta, Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, Scrambled Eggs, Pillsbury Flaky Biscuits, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Good start to the last day! Did a load of laundry and some light house cleaning. Then it was a day computer and TV. Relaxing day. For Dinner tonight for the first time, Lobster Rolls with Potato Chips.

I purchased the Lobster from Luke’s Lobster (https://www.lukeslobster.com/) out of Maine. I read about Luke’s from a blog that featured the Lobster Rolls that I’m preparing tonight. I purchased the Luke’s Lobster Roll Bundle – Serves 8. It comes frozen, 2 packages of 1 lb. each of Lobster Pieces (Chunks), an 8 pack of frozen Split Top Rolls, and a package of Luke’s Seasoning. I’m drooling while writing this! I laid 1 of the packages of Lobster and 4 of the Split Top Rolls in the fridge overnight to thaw.

In another small skillet I heated the Rolls up. Heated the skillet on medium low heat. Added the Rolls on both sides for about 2 minutes and removed the Rolls on to plates. I spread the inside of the Rolls with a bit of the Mayo. Then filled each Split Roll with the now Chilled Lobster. I topped them with just a light coat of melted Butter and served! Wow, what a Lobster Roll! Huge Chunks of Lobster with that hint of Lemon, Butter, and Luke’s Seasoning. Lobster maybe pricey but worth every cent. The Lobster Meat tasted so Fresh and Sweet. We will be purchasing more from Luke’s Lobster again! Also the Luke’s Lobster arrives Frozen insecure Packaging along with a ship date of your choice!

We served the with some Mike Sell’s Reduced Fat Chips. Later for a Dessert/Snack a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s Pretzels with a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.
