Scallops Piccata
Scallops Piccata In case you’re unfamiliar with Piccata Sauce, let me break it down for you.

Mexican Fried Rice
Mexican Fried Rice I can't stand wasting food! I made burritos and I happened to make too much rice (which of course had a can of black beans added to it). I love burritos. So off topic.

Cheesy Potato Wedges with Pulled Pork
Cheesy Potato Wedges with Pulled Pork So I'm going to start this with saying portion control is key; throw in a Green Salad to complete the meal and this is totally do-able as a dinner for 4-6 people.
