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’m always looking for new ways to prepare salmon, too, and I love the idea of herbed mustard!
this looks so flavorful and juicy! delish 🙂
Jeff doesn’t love salmon, but I bet I could get him to eat it with this topping. Sounds so flavorful!
This looks amazing! I have everything for the sauce already other than the Dijon Mustard. Do you think I can use regular mustard?

It would definitely have a different flavor profile, but I love regular mustard! I think it would be great – let me know what you think of it.
Made this last night! SO good! My boyfriend and i both finished our plates and he declared this recipe as a keeper! Thanks so much for keeping it easy!
