Attemp at a food/cooking blog

Pam and I were talking this weekend and decided that we will start a food blog this year. We are still deciding on a name and other details. It will consist mostly of what we do and how we go about our preparing our meals. We eat pretty well and keep the cost down. I (Jim) love to cook and try new things. Some of the items we've had so far this year are

New Years Eve, Steamers and a Fillet (fillet courtesy of Kory a very good friend) used manila clams about 3 pounds first I sauteed some onions in EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil and butter then added some fresh garlic after it got a little love in the pan with the onions I added some fresh basil and parsley (dried would be fine too) then put in about a cup of wine let it come to a simmer/boil and added the clams and put on the lid until most of the little fellows opened.

New Years day was another food fest Scallops with a new sauce, kind of a sweet sesame balsamic sauce. The scallops were seared on my favorite cast iron pan I'd be happy to provide the details of the sauce if anyone is interested, let me know,,,,, it would have made a bumper taste good.....

Today was total pig out day,,,,, Garbage Omelet,,,,, today's included left over ham, mushroom, onion (onion is a big staple in my cooking, it adds so much base and flavor to almost any dish with a little sauteing, the more it's sauteed the more sweet flavor comes out)some cheddar cheese inside and on the top when it was finished. While I was preparing the omelet I noticed that there was some leftover gravy in the fridge, so I took out one of the frozen chicken fried steaks (yeah it was one of those store bought things,,,,, but I still love em) nuked it for 30 seconds on each side and just as the omelet was finishing up I slid it in a hot pan of canola oil for a minute or so on each side,,,,,,, oh the calories,,, both were outstanding.

I made a small batch of roasted garlic today
