Dinner Tonight: Cajun Spiced Seared Scallops w/ Brown Rice, Parmesan and Herb Red Potatoes, and Baked Artisan Multi Grain Loaf




They confirmed today my Dad is coming home Saturday from the rehab center! He's been gone for a while now it's going to be nice to have him home. So for dinner tonight while at Kroger yesterday I purchased some Bay Scallops, which I haven't had in years! For Dinner; Cajun Spiced Seared Scallops w/ Brown Rice, Parmesan and Herb Red Potatoes, and Baked Artisan Multi Grain Loaf.





To prepare it I'll need; 1 pound of Bay Sea Scallops, 2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning, 2 teaspoons Extra Zatarain's Cajun Seasoning, 2 teaspoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.

For side dishes I prepared some Uncle Ben's Natural Whole Grain Brown Rice, not much to prepare it was the microwave single serving of Rice. The quick but still delicious way for Rice.

I also baked up some more of the La Brea Bakery Take and Bake Artisan Multi Grain Loaf. I'll have to have the Bay Scallops more often! The Scallops paired with the Parm Red Potatoes and Brown Rice is perfect! For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.
