Sweet Corn and Shrimp Chowder Soup

January 19, 2014 by Monica in Quick Meal, Savory, Seafood, Soup

The last week I have been sick at home with the mother of all flu. I have sustain myself on HUGE amounts of liquids, grilled cheese sandwiches and can soup. Anything else was too much effort and frankly I could not find anything else remotely appetizing.

I been so weak and tired that I could not bring myself to do anything else but stay in bed, read and hope that this nasty thing will just go away once and for all.

During my time in bed, besides reading huge amounts of trashy romantic novels, watching the whole season of Orange of the new Black and House of cards, I Pinterest myself to death. Since I was not cooking in real life, I let pinterest cook for me virtually by browsing hundreds of pins about all the food I wanted to eat by was to lazy to get up and cook.

To write that I been absent from Sweetbites is an understatement… I just looked back and realized that my last post on the blog was back at the beginning of August.

YIKES! AUGUST!

That was FOUR MONTHS AGO. Yes, I’m shouting, because mentally I’m kicking myself for not realizing this sooner.

This goes to show you the mental state that I have been of late.

The last months, I been overwhelmed with LIFE.

Life, has been giving me the beat down and for a minute there I thought it had won.

Short and sweet this post is going to be. Just like the recipe.

Find yourself the best bay (or sea) scallops, olive oil, red pepper, parsley and bread crumbs (do not omit this ingredient, trust me)

Then set everything up, fire up your stove and go to town, in less than 10 minutes (if you use fresh pasta – like I did) you will have such a wonderful dish in your hands, that you husband (or better half) will be telling you how much he loves you all over again.
