Something New & Something Old

i have been getting pretty tired of making the same recipes, so this morning i decided i was going to make something new. i knew i wanted seafood, but i didn't feel like the usual salmon or trout.

...then it hit me- use the scallops you bought at Costco over the weekend!!!!

i have to admit i was a bit nervous because i have never tried scallops. yes... i know.... this is completely bizarre coming from someone who eats seafood more than anything else!

anyways, since i have never made scallops before and i am trying to eat healthy, i decided to head over to CookingLight to find a recipe.

**SIDENOTE** If you have never used a recipe from CookingLight you are missing out! EVERYTHING is healthy and delicious!

anyways, i ended up finding a recipe not only for scallops but also for some asparagus; i have become so bored with how i usually make it so it was refreshing to find a new and EASY recipe!

i also made your standard brown rice.

this meal was SERIOUSLY amazing. i am totally going to start cooking with scallops more often!! so quick, so easy, and so healthy!

this entire meal was only 325 calories!!!

again, i forgot to take a picture because i was so starving!!

but thanks to Cooking Light you can get an idea of what it looked like!
