Mussels
When I met Hubby, I had never had lobster, mussels and quite a few other things. Turns out we both love Mussels and they’re SO EASY to make. We usually just throw a bunch of stuff in a pot, but here’s an attempt at a recipe:
Steamed Mussels (by ME!)
1 pound of mussels
1 cup white wine
1/2 onion – chopped
3 cloves garlic – minced
Pour everything into a big pot. Be sure to throw out any mussels that are already opened.
Cover pot and put burner on med-high. When mussels are all opened, they are done. Serve with wine sauce.

This looks delicious! I love that you guys plowed through it as an afternoon snack!
I love using veggies as a healthy substitute for pasta. My favorite is a little more obvious – spaghetti squash!
Also, I got your DM about the photo. I’ve been crazy busy but I’ll email it to everyone tonight!
What a great salad! It’s perfect for saying goodbye to summer 🙂
This looks so good! Yummy produce is really the only thing I’ll miss about summer time. I came across your site earlier today while searching for a pumpkin spice cheesecake brownie recipe (which I plan on making tomorrow btw). You have some great recipes and I’ll definitely be returning!
What a great vegetarian dish. With all those gorgeous colors it’s a feast for the eyes as well as for the palate.
What a gorgeous dish. It looks super delicious too.
YUM! Great way to (healthily) soak up the last bits of summer flavors! Looks great…
