A Recipe for a Romantic Dinner

Hi everyone! I’m back! And since I haven’t shared any of my recipes in awhile I thought I would share one in this post. My fiancé and I love to cook fancy meals once awhile (I know it feels weird that I get to call him fiancé now.) Anyways, once in awhile we spoil each other, or our family when we invite them over, with nice meals. So, today I want to share one of my favorite fancy meals to cook at home “Seared scallops with kale, spinach, and bacon bites.” It definitely has been one of our best recipes we’ve cooked and I enjoyed making it so much that I thought I needed to share the recipe with you all! Hence, if you want to have a romantic dinner at home for someone special, here is my recipe for seared scallops for that special evening. Enjoy!
