Whole Wheat Naan

http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-naan-bread-machine-41503

I have yet to learn how to make soft flat bread.


Karen's Shrimp in Cream Sauce

Friday night dinner, just Jeffry and I ....


I used 2 servings of scallops and served it over Ronzoni's Garden Delight fettucine with asparagus on the side.

I think it tasted better with some salt.
