Pan-Fried Scallop & Roasted Sweet Bell Pepper Salad
with Fresh Grapefruit Dressing

I found this presentation from my mom back when she was still studying at ISCHAM almost a couple of years back.  I'm not a food blogger but I can blog about food because I love food!

I decided to post more of these soon so you can also try this at home.  It looks simple, but let me know in the comments after you have actually tried it.

My mom is food genius, every time go back home to Bohol, let's just say expect some weight gain.  Even my dad who is a constant runner can easily gain kilos every time he goes back.  We're happy that she's already started Cake Garden and we're 1000% (that's an extra 0) full support.
