Cooking Lighter could be a wonderful idea!

"What I ate last night." No one's that interested, right? BUT I need to make an exception for dinner last night. After a two hour walk along the waterfront in what can only be described as a picture postcard afternoon I "went the extra mile" in the health department and decided to make something special but healthy for dinner.Best of Cooking Light, published by the magazine earlier this year, contains 500 "all-star" recipes. This recipe serves two which is perfect as although I cook for myself more than most, a lot of recipes serve 4, 6 or 8. (When will magazines start reflecting their demographics? half of the US population is single!). I am one woman who will eat leftovers for one, maybe two meals. Also, having grown up in thrifty New England, I hate wasting food. So this recipe looked tasty (it was) and was fairly simple and needed less than 30 minutes from start to finish This recipe is a keeper. It's all in the sauce. Scallops were a good source of protein but if you are watching your pennies you will enjoy the dish without it. Although I'm still trying to reconcile a "healthy recipe" that contains heavy cream.
