Happy Saturday dear reader.

For those who don't know we here in the Boston area have experienced a huge blizzard over the past 24 hours dropping 25+ inches of snow. The Powers that be made road travel a crime punishable by a $500 fine so we decided to cook in tonight and in the spirit of trying something new (this months theme) we tried a new  recipe.

We found this on a site called Skinnytaste.com. We both saw it separately and told each other about it so we were destined to try it.

So here we have Pasta with scallops and tomatoes.

Pretty much a one pot meal with only a few ingredients.

Bay Scallops and diced tomatoes from a can. Pop it in a skillet and simmer. Add some white wine and garlic and it's like heaven.

Here is what it looks like on the plate.

Our only problem was we didn't look closely at the label of the tomatoes and didn't see they had green chilies so we ended up with a "fra diavalo" sauce.

It was unexpected but VERY flavorful. We were both sweating by the end of the meal and our sinus were clear.

Along with some Garlic Bread we we feasted like Royalty!

Paired with one of our favorite brands of wine the meal was great!

Even though we were housebound it didn't mean we couldn't eat great food!

Hopefully next week we will return to our routine.
