Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Live-r for life!

Today we wanted to introduce something a little different, an organ meat, or offal that some of you may have never eaten, or perhaps one that you’ve not eaten since your childhood.  We grew up eating calf’s liver, and although it might be an acquired taste for some, we find it to be quite delectable…
