mrs. domestic

i have been feeling very domestic this week.  
one of my summer goals is to get in the kitchen and try some new easy recipes to add to my list.
here is what i had fun with this week in the kitchen.

round one: seared scallops over corn (thanks ann for the idea!)

i was pleasantly surprised with how easy these scallops were to make.  
first, heat up some veggie oil so the oil is super hot.
then, add salt and pepper to the scallops before you put them in.
after that, place them in the pan for one minute for each side.
finally, drain the oil and add a touch of butter with some frozen (or fresh corn) and cook for a few minutes.  
and presto! seared scallops over corn.  
  
round two: frittata with squash, zucchini and goat cheese (thanks carol for the recipe!) 

love how easy this recipe is as well.
first, saute the squash, zucchini, and onions for ten minutes.
then, add six eggs to the sauteed veggies and cook for ten minutes on the stove top.
after that, put the whole pan in the oven at 350 degrees - also for ten minutes.
lastly, add some goat cheese on top
and wahoo you have a frittata.

happy cooking yall!
