A recipe post? Say whaaaaaat?!

It’s happening. Get on board people.

So I’ve never made muscles before, and decided Valentines Day was a good day to give it a whirl. Because nothing says romance like a meal you could possibly screw up and end up eating McDonalds.

Maybe it does.

This is a combination of a couple different recipes I found, but each one with a French feel to them.

3 pounds of mussels

7 tablespoons of butter

3 green onions

5 garlic cloves

8-10 sprigs of thyme

1 cup of white wine

2 cups of heavy cream

1/4 cup of parsley

salt and pepper to taste

-Was mussels under cold water. Toss out any that are opened. *Some may have a little “beard” that you want to rip off.*

-In a large pot or large Dutch oven, heat the butter over medium heat until melted.

-Increase the heat to high, and add the green onions, garlic and thyme. Get ready for your house to smell amazing. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.

-Add mussels and cover. These bad boys cook super quickly so don’t walk away. You’re looking at about 5-10 minutes at most.

-Take out the thyme sprigs.

-Pour in the cream, white wine, parsley, salt and pepper.

-Mix gently, you’re folding more than mixing.

-Give the sauce a taste, if you think it needs more salt, add it.

-Bon Appétit!

We loved these so much and it wasn’t tough to make at all! Be sure to let me know if you make them!
