Happy (late) Valentine's Day!! As cliché , overdone, and cheesy this love day may be, I have to admit- I'm a huge sucker for Valentine's Day! For Vday, I always like to make a special dinner, that I don't make very often- yesterday I made mussels!!! Mussels are one of my favorite sea foods- so I made a mussel pasta, and it turned out oh so yummy! The first thing I did was boil the mussels for about 7 minutes. Then, I boiled a handful of thin spaghetti- in the mean time, I heated 1/2 cup of olive oil in a pot. I then put one petitely diced onion into the oil, and waited for it to turn golden. Soon after, I added 2 tablespoons of fresh minced garlic. Then, I added 3 diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, and about 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro (parsley would taste amazing with it too). I flavored it with some salt, onion powder, and a little bit of fresh basil. Then I mixed everything together, and brought them to a simmer. I then added the boil
Ahh!! Those mint skinnies!! I want!
