I love this recipe. Not just because I love scallops (I definitely do) and not just because it is very pretty and colorful, but also because it is really easy to make and really versatile. You can make it with other veg thrown in (I’ve added parsnips and broccoli at various times) and the protein can be swapped out too — instead of scallops, you can totally do shrimp or chicken or turkey. I’ve never tried pork or beef, but I think they might work as well. Serve with rice; this is on the table in under 30 minutes!

Smoked Salmon and Chives Deviled Eggs
You might be an overly poshy food blogger when, whilst making deviled eggs during a global pandemic, you think “oooh, I may have stashed smoked salmon in the freezer for an emergency!”
For the record, there is no such thing as a smoked salmon emergency. Ever. No matter how delish it is.
But, the deviled eggs are yummy. And my chives survived the winter.
So, remember a few weeks ago, I made Peanut Butter + Pumpkin Dog Treats and at the time, I did promise to make cat treats too. Well an eternity has passed, or so it seems, and I am finally getting around to making these kitty treats. They are Spencer and Sullivan approved and I believe quite yummy because I’ve had to hide them in the trunk of my car so that they won’t eat them all.
So all of my “more unique” (or “heirloom”) tomatoes happen to ripen at the same time, so I found myself with an overload of tomatoes today. Combine that with a zucchini from the last time I was at my parents and a whole lot of basil, I had half a meal right there. Add some onions (shallots), garlic and cod fillets, and there is a meal and then some. While you could just eat it without anything else, or with some crusty bread, I decided to make some pasta. And there we go.
