  • “We had this for dinner last night with Kiwidutch’s “Cant Get Any Easier Pan-Seared Scallops”.I cut the recipe in half and used fresh spinach because that is all I had…I just cooked all the ingredients(except spinach) per instructed and then added the spinach and let it cook down for a few minutes.Wonderful.Thank you.”
