Butch Femme Planet - What are you having for dinner tonight?

Yes!!! Use finely crunched up crackers(something with a buttery nature to it as opposed to a saltiney nature) instead of breadcrumbs and use more crab meat than cracker. Whatever wet ingredients you put in it make sure there is a little mayonaise in there somewhere, and don't forget to season with salt, pepper, Louisiana hot sauce, and old bay seasoning.

Thanks!

This is the Crab Cake recipe I use, give or take a tweak here and there. :) I prefer to use sweet potato.

What a great idea! I am going to have to try that - the ice cube thing I mean.

How was it? It sounds absolutely divine!

I hate it when I feel like I need to eat the rest of something that tasted crappy the first time!

Teddy is trying a new recipe for a crab bake casserole that we LOVE at our favorite restaurant. He even teased me with the possibility of making it into the topping for stuffed portabella mushrooms sometime. If it comes out as good as we are hoping, I will be sure to post it in the delicious thread :)

Chilled Red Quinoa Salad (improvised and surprisingly tasty): 3/4 Cup cooked/chilled Red Quinoa; 1 diced California Avocado; 1/2 diced Red Tomato (on the vine); 1/3 seeded/diced Cucumber; 1/8 Cup finely diced Yellow Onion; Juice of 1/2 Lemon; 2 tsp Grapeseed Oil; 1/8 tsp Turmeric; pinch Sea Salt.

High in protein and fiber but low in sugar, fats (the bad kind), cholesterol -- and very filling!
