Easy Last Minute Thanksgiving Appetizer: Bacon Wrapped Scallops!

Can you say yuuuuuum?!

I mean, basically anything wrapped in bacon is delicious in my book! 

This appetizer really doesn't take much effort and basically only has two ingredients:

 For a batch of 12

- 1 package of all-natural bacon

- 12 large sea scallops

- salt and pepper

For each scallop I wrapped one piece of bacon completely around it and fastened with a tooth pick. There were a couple of smaller scallops so I decided to just use half a strip on bacon for those and maximize the outcome!

Once they were all wrapped up I sprinkled them with some cracked black pepper and sea salt:

Next, I sprayed a baking sheet with some non-stick spray and popped them in the oven at 350:

These took about 40 minutes in the oven and I flipped them once towards the end to try and get the bacon a little more crispy on each side. 

So good!

I didn't make a sauce or anything (skipping out on extra calories) and I really don't think they needed them! The scallops stayed juicy and the bacon had plenty of flavor to satisfy! 

Like I said, easy! And I bet these items will still be available at the grocery store! 

You can't beat bacon!

Are you making any apps for Thanksgiving this year?!

Healthy (ish) Brownies for Thanksgiving!

Ok, so the Holidays are extremely hard when it comes to eating healthy!

Here's a super easy and quick brownie recipe where you can skip the oil, eggs, and butter!

And better yet it only takes two ingredients! Two!

That's right! All you need is one can of pumpkin and one box of brownie mix!

All you need to do is mix the two together in a large bowl:

Then spread it out into a pan to bake:

I left them in the oven at 350 for about 35 minutes (will depend on thickness of pan). 

When I took them out they were super soft and gooey! 

The pumpkin kept the batch moist and it also provides lots of antioxidants and vitamins! More so than filling the brownies with oil and eggs :)

They had great flavor and will be perfect for gifting or for a Holiday dessert!

These will certainly satisfy your chocolate craving with out too much of the heavy stuff!
