There was a time when I ate mussels every couple of weeks - I couldn't get enough. And then... I got pregnant and it was one of those unpredictable and weird things but it completely turned me off them ;(. I can eat them a 'little' now but it's never fully come back... how odd and too bad... especially when I look at this recipe. It looks wonderful!Kelly Mulcair Registered Nutritionist.

White wine, shallots, herbs... This is my favourite way to cook mussels and I don't even need to cover the pot, they are heated so well, they open up even without it. <br />I also always mention how to discard bad mussels before and after cooking. Mussels season has started here, so I think I will be making them this weekend. It's so easy and so rewarding. Thank you for reminding me of these lovely creatures :-)Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62998320334149037.post-39197059071101723792012-10-30T11:57:01.391-04:002012-10-30T11:57:01.391-04:00that sounds just delicious.

(I seriously thought our cars were going to be washed away from the parking lot if this keeps up)<br /><br />Anyway, getting back to your post...awesome steamed clams, love your recipe which is quite similar to mine, but I omit the cream when I use fresh or canned diced tomatoes in place of the cream, which I don't thicken, just leave it natural. Yours turned out perfect, succulent, and I'm totally craving it now...just making sure I would buy it at our local seafood market, and not from Publix...no offense, but some seafoods are better from your local seafood market, even though they are more expensive:)Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067009428999484965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62998320334149037.post-5225424445398737322012-10-29T15:25:11.280-04:002012-10-29T15:25:11.280-04:00Yes it is a treat!
