THE RECIPES

Crispy on the outside yet smooth as butter on the inside, these scallops are the ultimate luxurious dinner. Served with a heaping bowl of noodles doused in a cozy corn-bacon vinaigrette, this scallop dinner is one for the books.

Feedfeed Tip It's all about the sear on scallops! Wondering the trick to the trade? Make sure you are starting with dry scallops! You can either blot them totally dry with a paper towel or tea towel, or leave them unwrapped in the fridge overnight. Check out more tips for making this easy but impressive recipe here.

Pittsburg Style Steak Salad with Creamy Green Goddess Dressing

Now that is a salad! The herbaceous green goddess dressing really highlights all of the different flavors and textures included in the salad.

Feedfeed Tip Be sure to cut your flank steak against the grain! Cutting it with the grain will result in a tough and chewy texture.

Feedfeed Tip We know breaking pasta is a big no-no, but it's essential for this recipe. Shorter strands of noodles will allow you to stir this pasta vigorously which will result in a risotto like consistency.
