This is a nice scallop dish from The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper. It is Sauteed Scallops with Brussels Sprouts and Bacon. I thought the plate would benefit from a butternut squash puree, so I added that. Basically you're cooking the brussels sprouts on the stovetop with onions, bacon and tarragon. When those are nicely browned and tender, you keep them warm in a bowl, wipe out the pan and sear the scallops. Then it is all plated together.
This is a great way to cook brussels sprouts, probably not the healthiest, but delicious. A little bit of bacon flavor goes a long way here. Since scallops, by their nature, are very lean, the bacon flavor helps enrich them and it works wonderfully with brussels sprouts - just like it does with cabbage. Keep in mind you could use them as a side dish to something else besides scallops. I could see pairing them with roast chicken for a nice winter dinner. Here's a blog where the recipe is described in detail.

Be still, my heart!
Wow, that looks great! Need to try it. I don't think I marked it, so I will now!
can you provide the recipe for the stuffed pumpkin!
That recipe is from Country Living (a couple of years ago and it is really great) It uses Iraeli couscous, sausage, cranberries, onions and some other good things. It is not too difficult to put together and gives a great payoff at the end. I'll see if I can dig it up for you. I really should make it again.
