Simple and healthy: Seared Diver Scallops, Butternut Squash Puree, and Sauteed Swiss Chard

So as mid-February approaches most people are either giving up on their New Year's resolutions or finally getting around to them.  Well here is a meal that surely can't hurt and will definitely impress (to offset that embarrassing belly fat that is still inexplicably hanging around).  Check out the rest of the pics and some basic instructions after the jump.

(Almost) Healthy Anniversary Banana Pancakes w/Cinnamon Infused Syruputter

Late last month the girlfriend and I frighteningly joyously celebrated our 3rd anniversary so a special meal was definitely expected.  I spared her and the other diners around us from breaking out the camera at a cozy little French restaurant in downtown NYC called La Sirene (which was delicious and BYO) - a place recommended to us by our friends Logan and Julia.  So the order of the day on Saturday morning...banana pancakes of course.  It's a pretty simple (almost) scratch recipe (are we sensing a theme here?) and really isn't bad for you until you get to the syrup/butter combo.  Check out the steps to this stack after the jump.
