We love mussels on a half shell! Now get your baking sheet or pan. Whatever you prefer to bake them in. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Place all your mussels in a pan. Now scoop on a good tablespoon plus of filling into the mussel. Continue til all are full.Baked 350degrees roughly 12-15minutes.

It was cold last Sunday, it was a great day to make a couple of soups.
1 large Chicken Breasts seasoned with salt and pepper (bone in, skin on) half large Onions diced 3 Celery Stalks sliced 3 Carrots sliced 1 large Parsnip sliced 1 small Turnip sliced 3-4 Potatoes (depending on size) 1 CUP of peas (frozen or canned) couple things of Fresh Thyme piece of Fresh Rosemary 2 TBSP Summer Savory 2-3 bay leaves Salt and Pepper to taste Oil and Butter for pot 6-8 cups water (you can use some stock if you prefer but we don’t find you need it)
Were are liking our new induction burner! Get your pan nice and hot. We like to add some butter and oil to bottom of the pan. Add in your chicken breast skin side down. Brown chicken on all sides. Once this is done the bottom of your pot should start to get some color and flavor on it. We then add in all the veggies in (minus potatoes) and cook for 2-3 pieces stirring very well. Then add in your water little at a time. All while stirring and getting all the bits removed from bottom of your pan.Once chicken and veggies are covered with water, we add in the potatoes, salt, pepper and all the herbs. Bring to boil, then lower heat and simmer.Cook til veggies are done. Chicken will also be done at this time. Take out chicken. Discard skin and bones, cut chicken up and put back in soup along with the peas.Depending on your taste you may or may not want more salt and pepper! We enjoy this soup. We have it at least twice a month. My kids prefer the dumplings in it, as do I. Hope your family enjoys it as much as we do!
We’ve been playing with this soup for a while and were pretty happy with the flavors now!!
1 large chicken breast (bone in) salt pepper for chicken 1 onion sliced 3 stalks celery sliced 2-3 carrots sliced 1/2CUP cut up turnip (you can omit but we find it adds lots of flavor feel free to substitute for another veg) 2inch slice of ginger to throw in pot 2-3TBSP each diced garlic & green onion 1L Campbells Thai Broth 1 can coconut milk 2TBSP salt 1TBSP white pepper half package cooked rice vermicelli noodles 1TBSP vegetable oil handful chopped cilantro
Get your pot nice and hot, add your oil. Put your seasoned chicken breast in the pan. We normally put skin down first but didn’t this time. You want to get the chicken nicely browned on all sides. The bottom of the pan should start to get some color and flavor on it.
We added in half soya sauce, and a little bit of stock right to chicken. Making sure to lift all the good bits on the bottom of your pan. Add in onions, carrots, celery, ginger, and garlic. Cook for a couple minutes. Stirring well. Then you can add in your stock, turnips, green onions, white pepper, and remainder of soya sauce.
While that’s coming to a boil on medium heat, you can cook up some rice vermicelli noodles. Read directions on package. As all noodles are different. Cook, Rinse, and set aside. Once your veggies are all cooked, your chicken should be done as well. Take out, let cool for a couple of minutes. Debone, slice up, and put back in soup. You can now add in a can of coconut milk. Cook for just a couple more minutes. Throw in a handful of chopped cilantro.
You can add a variety of stuff to this!! Add a bit of noodles to bottom of your bowl and pour some chicken, veggies & broth over. We like to make a tray of Beans Sprouts, Jalapenos, Green Onions, Thai Chilis, and Cilantro to put ontop. We add a squirt of hoisin & sriracha on top as well. Hope your family enjoys this as much as ours does. Very similar to a Chicken Curry Soup, but no curry.
We have only made these a couple times, they are always enjoyed. If your looking for something different you should try them out.
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips (can use thighs if you want as well) 1 green pepper sliced 1 red pepper sliced 1 jalapeno sliced half large Spanish onion sliced few garlic cloves sliced (we always use a lot of garlic in anything we make!) Can of Diced Tomatoes with spices Can of Tomato Paste 10 small flour tortillas roughly 2CUPS grated mozzarella 2TBSP of taco spice salt pepper to taste little oil of your choice for your pan
We like to get the pan nice and hot, add in olive oil, chicken and taco spice. Cook medium heat til chicken in partially cooked.
We then add in the onions, garlic salt and pepper. Cook til chicken in done and onions are soft.Peppers and Jalapeno doesn’t take to look long to cook to you can add them now and cook for a couple minutes until tender. Then you can add in your can of tomatoes and can of tomato paste. Stir cook down for a couple of minutes.
I took all the chicken and veggies out of the pan there is about a cup to a cup and a half of sauce left in pan. I used 10 small flour tortilla. Put a good piece of chicken in each along with some veggies and grated Mozzarella in each. Roll them up. When we put them in the pan, roll around in sauce to wet all of your tortilla.
There will be some sauce, veggies left over (from what you took out with the chicken/veggies) I put this over top of everything. Then cover with cheese bake 400 til cheese is melted and under the broiler if you want.
When done, we then top with a handful of chopped cilantro. Serve with a side of sour cream if you like. Weather is getting nicer out. The kids and I enjoyed dinner Oceanside!
