What timing! Although I have eaten mussels many times, October 17 was the very first time I cooked them, and (if I do say so myself!) they were great. A friend and I ate every last one, and he raved about the flavor the whole time. This is my own recipe.

Delicious! I made these for my family and they loved them. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. It was easy to prepare and didn't take long at all.

These appetizers were a huge hit at my party! I followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfectly. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the cheese was melted and gooey. My guests couldn't get enough of them. I'll definitely be making these aga
