Tonight we did Steak “Tips” with Bay Scallops tossed in Veggie Pasta. Dessert was Chocolate Cheesecake Twist Pie. Both of these are super easy and took very little time to cook up.

STEAK TIPS –

3-4 small/med steaks (boneless is easier)

Cut up the steaks into bite size pieces (tips) and place in a frying pan. Cook on Med/Low heat until mostly cooked about 10 – 15 minutes for well done. (These are cooked by preference, so if you like yours rare or medium rare you are going to want to cook them less time.)Be sure to flip the tips for even cooking. When they are mostly done to your liking add a dash of garlic powder and a sprinkle of seasoning salt. Toss it quickly and serve.

BAY SCALLOPS WITH VEGGIE PASTA-

2 cups  Veggie Pasta (I used Veggie Mac)

about 20 – 30 Bay scallops (these are the small ones)

1/3 cup butter

2 cloves* garlic – Pressed

Place butter in medium saucepan and melt on medium heat. Add garlic and scallops and allow to simmer in butter for 15 minutes. After simmering remove the scallops and carefully add water. Bring water to boil and cook pasta until tender. After tender drain and add scallops to pasta. Toss and serve.

*Please note clove is not the bloom.

CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE TWIST PIE –  *Super easy*

1 premade pie crust (Graham Cracker type)

1 tub Philadelphia ready to eat cheesecake fill

1/4 cup milk chocolate chips

In a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup (Like the Pyrex cups) place the chocolate chips. Melt in microwave for 3 minutes at 30% power. (If your microwave is more powerful or takes less time for things to cook reduce heat to 20%.) Stir the chips every 30-45 seconds. When melted add 1 cup of the cheesecake fill to the melted chocolate. Whip well with fork or wisk. In pie crust put half of the remainder fill, then the chocolate mix, then the rest of the fill. YOu can place them on top of each other OR you can place all the plain fill and then drop spoonfuls of the chocolate fill on top. Be sure to spread evenly. If you drop the spoonfuls be sure to “swirl” with a knife so the chocolate is spread out some.

Enjoy!
