A few nights ago we combined two more recipes for another new meal! First I made a version of the bacon-wrapped scallops using chicken and cooking the bacon with the chicken rather than wrapping it. I cooked it in the skillet for awhile before transferring it to the oven to finish cooking while I cooked some other things. For the salsa I substituted Mango for Papaya because it was cheaper and looked good at the store. I have never really bought or used mangos before so Sean helped we with the cutting of it. The salsa was easy to make and I tested its flavor with a tortilla chip- very good! The mango was a bit mushy so the salsa’s appearance isn’t the best but it tasted good so that is okay.
Next up was the spinach, ham and beans. For some reason I have never been able to find Pink Beans at the stores. I know they exist because there was one can that had a mixture of pink beans, some other beans, and spices. Anyway Summy and I decided to get Pinto Beans instead. These seemed to work just fine! This recipe was quick and easy to follow and would have been easier if I would have used frozen instead of fresh spinach. It took a while to snap off all the stems.
I served these two dishes with some potatoes and it made a nice meal. I really liked the mango-jalapeño salsa on the chicken but my favorite was the beans with ham and spinach. It had such a good flavor, I really liked it!

Nice to see Sean putting his skills to work. Your meal looks tasty and I agree, the spinach bean dish was very good.
