It's cookie-baking season! I made these back-to-back since they baked at the same temperature for the same amount of time. They are very different cookies but they're both yummy.

Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Ingredients:
scallops
lime juice
sesame oil
grill seasoning
bacon

Comments:
Adam made this. Apparently it was good. I wouldn't know. I just took a picture and am posting it on this site. :)

Stuffed Pork Chops

From Robin Miller via FoodNetwork

I spaced on this picture too. I've been bad at that lately.

Ingredients:
EVOO
leeks
apple
oregano
rosemary
salt & pepper
bread cubes
chicken broth
thick-cut pork chops

Comments:
I made this to use up some pork chops I had thawed for another purpose. It is super simple and basically involves chopping stuff up, shoving it inside the chops, and watching it cook. I don't eat pork so Adam was the taster. He told me it was a keeper so I guess that means it was good.

Spinach and Artichoke Dip

From Alton Brown via FoodNetwork

I totally forgot to take a picture of this. I'm sure I'll make it again though.

Ingredients:
chopped spinach
artichoke hearts, chopped
cream cheese
sour cream
mayo
Parmesan cheese
red pepper flakes
salt
garlic powder

Comments:
If you read my personal blog, you'll know we became obsessed with this dip after a trip to Applebee's. This recipe is super simple and super tasty. I've made it twice already. Note to the faint of tongue: go easy on the red pepper flakes. Even with 1/2 of the amount recommended it's HOT!

Double Chicken Dumpling Stoup

From Rachael Ray Show 11/13/06



Ingredients:
EVOO
celery
onions
carrots
bay
salt & pepper
chicken stock
ground chicken
nutmeg
egg
garlic
bread crumbs
parmigiano cheese
peas
gnocchi
parsley

Comments:
I caught this on Rachael Ray's TV show (that I record everyday, by the way.) I tried it out this evening since Adam doesn't like chicken broth based foods and he's at work. I had to make a few adjustments to the recipe since I hate bay and couldn't find gnocchi or Parnigiano Reggiano cheese to save my life. I used some pre-made potato dumplings instead and it turned out ok. It was mighty tasty although I had a hard time deciding whether to eat it with a fork or a spoon. Where are those plastic sporks when you need them?
