Hello Reader Friends! BookWormMom here. Good books + good food = Happy me! Make it healthy good food, and you have found my sweet spot.

Healthy eating doesn’t mean rabbit food. It means taking care of the bodies God gave us by making healthy choices.

Sometimes it simply means choosing one option over another, like subbing plain Greek yogurt for sour cream. Or, it could even mean choosing brown rice (much more filling btw) than plain white rice.

Other times it means choosing items full of flavor but not fried (yes, I live in the South), or relying on strong flavors.

This meal leans on a flavor profile that may be unfamiliar.

It is also adjustable to your taste. I have made this with shrimp and it was a hit. It would work well with chicken or tofu as well. I haven’t tried a sturdy fish like cod, but I’m betting that would be yummy.

Mediterranean Scallops (or your fav protein)

1 24 oz bag frozen scallops (thawed)
2 cans no salt added basil, garlic, and oregano diced tomatoes
4 oz crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
The juice of ½ lemon
Optional ingredients: 1 Tablespoon granulated garlic and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes.

• Preheat your oven to 400°F
• In a large bowl, combine tomatoes (with juice), feta cheese, and Kalamata olives. Stir and taste. This is where you can add the optional ingredients. My family likes it spicy and loves garlic.
• Mix in the scallops (or whatever protein you choose).
• Bake in a 9×11 baking dish for about 20 minutes, or until your chosen protein is cooked through.
• After removing the dish from the oven, stir in the juice from 1/2 a lemon.
• Serve over rice….I chose brown rice.
