Bacon Wrapped Scallops

One of my favorites is Bacon Wrapped Scallops or Shrimp so I am dying to try these now but I already have dinner cooking and its not scallops. I have a nice little steak, mushrooms and some leftover scalloped potatoes. I am also trying a new frozen vegetable combo with corn and black beans, Dessert is cheesecake.

I found this due to Blogger promoting it. I like her blog since I love Italian food, so it's sent to me on an RSS feed. http://pegasuslegend-whatscookin.blogspot.com/2014/05/grilled-bacon-wrapped-scallop-recipe.html

Not a dieters dream but hey you have to indulge just once in a blue moon. Save these  for a special occasion, they taste gourmet in the end! The taste if your a scallop lover are divine.
