I know it’s only Tuesday and we usually do our Date Night Dish on Thursdays but I just scored the delicious recipe of Carrabba’s Mussels in White Wine Sauce that Country Music Star Vince Gill cooked for his wife Amy Grant so I figured I might as well share it with you. Besides, you need to watch the video and get the ingredients in advance that way you’ll be ready for your Friday’s romantic date-at-home

I have been looking for this recipe for some time now. I am happy that I have found this one however I would like to know just how to make the “lemon butter sauce”. It was not mentioned in this recipe so I have not made it as of this writing.
