Garlicky Crab Cakes
And speaking of a new member of our family…I would like to introduce you to
Dexter.
He is the sweetest little guy. I adopted him from my sister Lina, who has been his foster mom for about a month now. He needed a home and once we met him it just felt right. He’s a Black Lab/Hound mix and is 14 weeks old…and he fits right into to this already crazy household!
Ok…on to the eats. I made this last weekend for lunch and it was such a treat! We don’t eat crab cakes too often, for the obvious reason that crab meat isn’t cheap, but when we do we relish every bite. My husband goes nuts over crab cakes.
When I make crab cakes I normally follow the Old Bay recipe found on the side of the can…but this time I got a little creative. I added lots of pressed garlic and used Dijon instead of regular mustard. They turned out great and I am happy to say I would make them this way again! I served them over a delicious salad full of good stuff…fresh spinach, romaine, red pepper, red onion all tossed in a homemade dijon vinaigrette.
