Lemon-Teriyaki Scallops This is a yummy, tangy teriyaki sauce that is fresher tasting than traditional teriyaki sauces, thanks to the fresh lemon juice! Â Feel free to mix up the protein; salmon, chicken, shrimp, beef and even pork would work well with this sauce. Originally posted on May 01, 2016! This is a yummy, tangy teriyaki ...

Pan Seared Scallops
Pan Seared Scallops Without a doubt, one of the most intimidating dishes for anyone to make (just watch Hell’s Kitchen if you don’t believe me).  I’m not sure why this dish is so scary but I too used to feel nervous about it; I’m thinking though it comes down to how expensive these suckers can be!

Baked Lobster Dip
Baked Lobster Dip Mike’s family lives on the east coast of Canada where they have access to incredible seafood. When they visit, they bring us presents, one of which was this canned lobster; another ingredient I was scared to cook.  I have been facing my fears in the kitchen for the past few months and I must say I have impressed ...
Scallops Piccata
Scallops Piccata In case you’re unfamiliar with Piccata Sauce, let me break it down for you.

This creates an intense pan sauce in literally under a minute. You pour ...

Mussels Steamed in a Dijon Mustard Cream Sauce (Mussels Dijonnaise)
Mussels Steamed in a Dijon Mustard Cream Sauce (Mussels Dijonnaise) I was watching French Food at home by Laura Calder and became inspired to make steamed mussels which is weird because she was making lentil soup but I digress. This dish comes together in under 10 minutes but would easily impress at any dinner ...
Shrimp Scampi
Shrimp Scampi This is my rendition of the classic Italian dish. This comes together in minutes and easily impresses. Don’t skip the butter at the end in the interest in saving calories because at 40 calories (or 10 calories per person) you can’t beat the richness and flavour it adds. ...
