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. 






i love lime! these sound great 🙂
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere, so bottoms up with these tasty-sounding sweet treats!
The frosting recipe is missing something. ‘1/4 butter’ ??? Pound or cup? But it sounds great.
Those look amazing!
I’ll have to double check the recipe and fix my typo this weekend. Sorry about that. For anyone who asked why they look slushy. This was one of my first Vegan cupcakes and I was using low-fat soy milk. This causes the cupcakes to come out gummy/sticky and not rise very much. I filled them the same amount that I usually do, they just didn’t rise up much. I’d like to try this recipe again to make prettier margarita cupcakes.
I use non-vegan ingredients and they turn out great as well. Also, I seem to have to double the powdered sugar for the frosting to give it an substance, and then I have way too much frosting 🙂 I also add a bit more lime than the recipe calls for, but that’s just me.
