Potato Crab Chowder

I got three different meals out of one can of crab - I love that! For the last crab recipe I decided to make a Cooking Light Potato Crab Chowder I found on Myrecipes. It looked hearty, filling, and delicious. It was quick and simple to make and tasted wonderful. The crab made this chowder rich and delicious and I loved the chunky potatoes with the creamy and sweet corn. I served this chowder

Crab Quesadilla with Homemade Guacamole

I think my new favorite flavor combination is crab with avocado. I loved the Cilantro and Lime Crab Salad with Avocado Halves so much I decided to use the same flavors together to make a quesadilla for lunch the next day. I recently won a package of Tortilla Land corn tortillas from Two Peas and Their Pod and I couldn't wait to use them. I precooked the tortillas a little bit first then layered

Cilantro and Lime Crab Salad in Avocado Halves

I picked up a tub of lump crab meat recently so I decided use some of it to make a quick and delicious salad to put into avocado halves. I found a recipe on Epicurious that looked simple and delicious. I tossed the crab with a bit of lime, cilantro, light mayonnaise, and red onion. The crab salad tasted so good with the creamy avocado. My husband and I both enjoyed this dish and I look forward to

Baked Halibut Topped with Zucchini, Tomato, Dill, and Feta

I bought some halibut recently and decided to bake it topped with a mixture of zucchini, tomato, dill, onion, and feta cheese. This recipe was really simple to make and tasted wonderful. I loved that this dish was hearty and filling yet healthy. My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe while my son thought the fish was good but didn't like the topping and my daughter didn't like any of it. You

Linguine with Red Clam Sauce

My kids love fresh clams so I picked some up from the grocery store and decided to make linguine with clams. I wanted to make the dinner light and healthy so I made a spicy red sauce instead of a butter sauce. It was a very simple recipe to make and tasted fantastic. The sauce wasn't too spicy for the kids and they gobbled it up. The leftovers the next day were delicious and very flavorful

Gemelli with Lump Crab, Mushrooms and Asparagus in a Lemon Butter Sauce

I bought some lump crab from Costco and couldn't decide what to make with it. I was craving pasta so I looked through my refrigerator to see what I could use in a pasta dish. I found mushrooms, asparagus, crab, lemons, shallots, Parmesan and garlic. I thought all of those ingredients would be tasty together and I was right. I used a bit of pasta water and butter to make the sauce a bit thicker

Grilled Blackened Salmon with Pineapple Mango Salsa

I found a really fresh and delicious looking salmon at Costco recently and decided to grill it up with some blackened seasonings and serve it topped with a pineapple mango salsa. The spicy fish was so delicious with the sweet salsa - it was an amazing dish. We had friends over for dinner and we all really, really loved it. A couple of the kids liked it too! I will be serving this meal over and

Crab Cakes

I've been craving crab cakes lately so when I saw a container of lump crab meat at Costco, I instantly knew what I would be making for dinner. I wanted to taste the crab not a bunch of fillers so I kept the crab mixture really simple. I made the cakes small so they would stay together nicely. I only cooked them in a small bit of olive oil and they tasted great without being greasy. The cakes

Cilantro Lime Shrimp with a Honey Lime Dipping Sauce

I wanted a quick and tasty dinner that was easy to make. I grabbed some shrimp and marinated them in lime zest and juice, cilantro, olive oil and garlic for an hour then had my husband grill them. I had leftover honey lime dressing from the Grilled Corn, Avocado and Tomato Salad, so I used it for a dipping sauce and it was so delicious. My whole family really loved these shrimp - we gobbled

Creamy Clam Dip

We had friends over for dinner a few days ago and instead of having a sit down meal we decided to make a bunch of appetizers. It was a simple, casual and tasty dinner. Everyone enjoyed grazing throughout the evening - especially the kids. I adapted this recipe from my newest library find, "Gourmet Every Day". I really like this cookbook, it has fun and family friendly recipes that are a bit
