✨3 Benefits of Eating Yogurt ✨

1. It improves gut health. Yogurt contains probiotics - good bacteria that restores healthy bacterial balance.

2. It supports healthy body weight. Yogurt is rich in protein and calcium increasing levels of appetite suppressing hormones.

3. It boosts our immune system. Yogurt helps protect our body from a variety of infections.

Pan Seared Scallops, Edamame & Vegetable Medley, Shaved Asiago, Lemon, Chimichurri, and Edamame Puree

I chose to come up with a dish incorporating two ingredients which were edamame and scallops.

3 mistakes I made when creating this dish:

1. Cooked scallops on medium heat. Cooking the scallops on medium heat caused inconsistent color. Since I was so focused on trying to get a nice color on all the pieces, it caused me to overcook them a tad bit. So cook your scallops on HIGH heat.
2. Placed the vegetable medley underneath the scallops. Incorporating colors creates diversity. I would reposition the vegetables so they are more visible since they help create vibrance and contrast.
3. Not enough texture. Each plate served should have a variety of textures such as soft, hard, chewy, crunchy, creamy, and meaty textures. The edamame with the vegetables already has a soft crunch but the edamame puree had a lot of soft crunch - which didn’t create enough texture balance for the plate overall . I would add some type of fatty content such as heavy cream or avocado with the edamame to create a smoother puree.

✨Drop in the comments which two ingredients should I incorporate and cook with next time. ✨
