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.






I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






Beautiful photos. We loved it too.
This is such a great dish and so colorful too!
Looks beautiful! I agree it comes together pretty fast.
Glad you loved it!

Your salad looks great! Glad to see a fellow Boston girl (well, we left the city 2 years ago but still work here) on the Bloggers!
Looks great!
Wow your salad looks so good. I think I am going to try making this again after a trip to the market this weekend.
Great picture! I’ve been thinking that this would be great for Shakespear in the Park. Cool and refreshing!
I love Panzanella, but haven’t had Ina’s version yet (Tyler’s is delish!) – perfect recipe for summertime.
Good tip on the croutons – this one looks like a total winner.
