A Valentine's Day meal for my special Valentine

I LOVE mussels, but I was never sure how to make them.  Since I have taken on Jessica's challenge of cooking something outside my comfort zone each month (Read more about it HERE), I decided now was the perfect time to learn!  And what better day to serve it up then on Valentine's Day?  

I followed this recipe from Bobby Flay, but I added fresh chopped tomatoes instead of tarragon and served it with some crusty bread, cheese, salami and veggies.  It was so delicious!  Well, from what I tasted - by the time I ate my second one, my husband had finished the rest!

  3. I should try to make these too. I think I am getting stuck in a cooking rut where I make my same go-tos every month.

  5. I have to admit, mussels scare me a little. But I hear they're fabulous, so I do need to try them. It sounds like they were a hit with your hubbie :)
