Let's be crystal clear-I dont really care for mussels. In fact there's alot of questionable things I'd rather try. This recipe kicks butt! It's simple, it's clean in taste yet hints at a richness that isnt "overtly seafoodish nasty". Sorry if that's lame but some seafood recipes are just to "fishy". This isnt one of them. I'm still iffy on dipping the bread in the sauce buy my Husband wolfs it down, so I give this recipe 5 stars easily-I like it, he loves it! Di;-)

I have a passion for cooking simple, great tasting, nutritious and delicious food. I don't have time for anything that isn't fool-proof, I'm just a home cook that wants to make the most out of my weekly grocery budget in interesting yet quick ways! My recipes are not complex, but they are very tasty, tried and true! I'm a firm believer that not EVERYTHING has to be made from scratch for good tasting, satisfying food. You could call me the Queen of Semi-Homeade Food!
I grew up in Canada but have lived in Australia for 7 years and my tastes have changed, so has my cooking style...I'm open to new and different flavours.
