Mussels are really easy to make, readily available (and affordable!) in most areas, and most importantly super delicious. There are so many ways to make them, but a family favorite of ours is with a simple red sauce. This Mussels Marinara recipe takes about 30 minutes and can be served as an appetizer with crusty Italian bread or as a main course over pasta. The choice is yours. Let’s make it!

Sauteed portobello mushrooms with balsamic vinegar and butter make an amazing side dish. The sweet but acidic balsamic pairs perfectly with the earthy mushrooms and the butter adds depth and gloss making this a beautiful dish to serve, no matter the occasion. This dish is easy to make and takes about 15 minutes. I just know you’re going to love them!
Adding balsamic vinegar to mushrooms, especially portobellos make a killer flavor combination!

This roasted baby broccoli (broccolini) recipe with toasted pine nuts and parmesan seasoned breadcrumbs couldn’t be easier, or more delicious! The nutty flavor of the cheese, the crunch of the pine nuts, and the toasty breadcrumbs all marry together to make an already tasty veggie that much better. And we love that this dish can be made in under 30 minutes!
This is the perfect side dish for so many dishes. It goes well with hearty pastas like Spaghetti Carbonara, Rigatoni Alla Norma, or Pasta Alla Genovese. And of course, green veggies pair well with roasts and meat dishes of all types. I love it as a side dish to Brasato Al Barolo or a Juicy Ribeye Steak!
