While I'm a huge fan of corn on the cob, lately I haven't been able to get enough corn salad. If you've never carefully cut the kernels off a fresh corn cob, I suggest you do so tonight. With its succulent scallops, crunchy bell peppers, and sweet corn, this is one satisfying salad.

It's official: Chloë adores Chloé. By now, the actress has worn Chloé's scalloped suit from the Spring collection three times. First the camel color in April, with a leopard-print top underneath and strappy suede wedge sandals.

Scallop patterns are showing up all over the design world lately. I'm particularly fond of the scalloping pattern on Catherine Hammerton's Scale wallpaper. Scalloping looks like the wavy pattern found on the edge of a scallop's shell.

Move over boneless, skinless chicken breast, there are a couple other lean proteins taking over the plate: shrimp and scallops.
These jewels of the sea make for tasty entrees, as well as appetizers or salad toppings. Easy and quick to make, they're adaptable to almost any cooking method and can be grilled or sauteed, broiled or baked.

If you're looking for an innovative recipe to liven up your weeknight repertoire, consider this healthy salad. Don't be intimidated by the ingredients: quinoa is cooked by a technique that's similar to making rice, and the scallops are quick-seared on the stovetop. Asian condiments — soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar — provide depth of flavor, while snow peas and red peppers give the salad a snappy crunch.

Take an exotic escape to a tropical locale with this marvelous meal. Scallops — which are quick-cooking shellfish that are effortless to season — are tossed with a zesty lime cilantro marinade.
Spicy jalapenos add heat, juicy pineapple provides a sweetness, and chunks of avocado yield a creamy coolness.

I hereby declare today Chloë day. Any objections? Earlier this week, she showed us her and her man's Coachella style.

Though organic produce has been at the forefront of the food movement over the last handful of years, sustainable seafood has only recently gained much-needed attention. Fishing practices for some of America's most popular seafood choices (salmon, eel, Chilean sea bass) are putting seafood populations in peril, interrupting aquatic habitats, and causing damaging water pollution.
I'll be the first to admit that it can be hard to keep track of what seafood is and isn't environmentally sound to eat, since it depends on the way it's caught and where it comes from.

In case you weren't aware, yesterday was National Tortilla Chip Day! (I was confused, since I thought every day is tortilla chip day.) It would be easy to honor these ever-popular snacks by serving them in nachos or with salsa, guacamole, and bean dip, but I wanted to look for something special and different. Read on to view seven of my favorite unusual uses for tortilla chips.

Hi Fit,
I'm cooking dinner for my boyfriend on Valentine's Day, but we've been doing so well dieting and working out together that I don't want to splurge too much. Every meal and dessert I can think of is way too fattening or not romantic enough. Do you have any suggestions on how to enjoy the holiday and stay on track?
