Seafood Feast!

Every month (the 2nd Thursday of each month to be exact) we get together with Grandmom & Grandpop Renaud for dinner.  We rotate the location and this time it was our turn to cook!   Jo's dad loves seafood so it was a no brainer... got some crab, scallops, shrimp & clams along with some wine and we were on our way...





Jo's Clams Casino

- prepare the clams

- add lemon, worchestshire, small piece of bacon

- bake at 400 until bacon is crispy

- add sauteed spinach

- top with Gouda cheese

Pretty easy to make and the different plates allowed Jo to serve each at different times... which paced the evening and allowed us all to sit around the kitchen and talk.   

Good food and good family.

As Grandpop Mike would say:  "Allllllllllllllll riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighttttttttttttttt...... time to go."

Simple Scallops

Working at a seafood restaurant has its perks... Jo brought home some fresh scallops and made a very light and tasty meal in about 15 minutes! 

She sauteed spinach in lemon and white wine... extremely easy and very fresh tasting!   Spinach has become our new favorite green vegetable, so easy to make and goes well with almost everything!

For the scallops, Jo sprinkled them with salt and pepper and then sauteed them in shallots and garlic in butter, lemon and white wine for about 7 minutes. 

As simple as that!

Lately we love making seafood feasts for friends and family... and scallops are always a tasty part!  Will share our full blown seafood feast in a few weeks when Reed's grandparents come over for our monthly dinner...
