Time for a Recipe Swap!
The theme for this month is blogger's choice and I received Katie's blog So Tasty, So Yummy. Katie has a ton of delicious crab recipe on her blog. We do not cook with a lot of crab at home because it is pretty expensive, but the seafood truck was in town a few weeks ago and they were selling fresh crab meat. I bought some hoping to find a recipe on Katie's blog. I came across her recipe for crabcake sandwiches and my mouth was watering. I also opted to use her crabcake sauce on the sandwich over the caper sauce listed in the recipe. These were such a wonderful treat for Ron and I. Normally, we only get crab when we go out and it was so nice to have it at home. Ron and I both loved the crabcakes and the sauce was delicious. We topped ours with fresh tomatoes from the garden and used a whole wheat bun.
Thank you Katie so a lovely recipe! It was absolutely delicious!
Bigs thanks also go tot Sarah of A Taste of Home Cooking for organizing these swaps!
