Today’s Menu: Crab Cake Slider w/ Baked Fries

Went for my yearly eye check-up this morning, everything looked good; no changes. Then it turned to a frustrating day! I get my prescriptions through the mail and the drug co. said my doctor will not respond to their faxes and of course the doctor’s office says they didn’t receive any faxes. Finally got that straightened up and ran into a computer operating snag. Nothing major just annoying, Google Chrome bugs that wont let me access certain sites and functions. Still working to correct that. Besides all that not a bad day! For dinner tonight Crab Cake Slider w/ Baked Fries.

Once again I’m using Kroger Private Selection Maryland Style Crab Cakes. They come frozen and there’s 2 to box. To prepare them just preheat the oven on 400 degrees and bake for 30 minutes. Nothing beats a fresh made Crab Cake, but these are too good to be frozen! They’re just the right size, about 3.5 ounces each, and full of flavor. Baked them for about 30 minutes and they were done. Served then on a Pepperidge Farm Wheat Slider Buns. Topped them with Louisiana Remoulade Dressing and Arugula. This makes one delicious Slider! The taste of the Crab Meat and Remoulade Sauce, then the Peppery taste of the Arugula is perfect together!

Then I also prepared one of my favorite sides, Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries. Love these Fries, they’re 130 calories and 20 carbs per serving. And a serving is 13 Fries, which is plenty. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Yogurt.

Today’s Menu: Pulled Smoked Pork Barbecue Sandwich w/ Baked Crab Cakes

Spent the day fishing again and again didn’t catch anything that was very big. But did catch about 10 small Bass and Blue Gill. Love being out with the peace and quiet. The weather was beautiful again. It was 50 degrees when I got up and it reached a high of only 77 with no humidity. Hard to beat for July weather! For dinner I prepared a Pulled Smoked Pork Barbecue Sandwich w/ Baked Crab Cakes.

I had planned on a Pulled Smoked Pork Barbecue Sandwich with some BBQ Beans or some type of Potato Dish but I had a small container of Crab Meat that I had to use and decided to make Crab Cakes. I used Montgomery Inn Pulled Pork w/ Barbecue Sauce. This may well be the best BBQ in the land! At least Bob Hope thought so when he was alive. Mr Hope would order this straight from Montgomery Inn back then and have it shipped to wherever he was at the time. Around here it hasn’t few rivals. This comes in a 2 LB. container and I just get the amount I want and freeze the rest. Incredible taste in an excellent BBQ Sauce. Served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun, toooo good!

To go with my BBQ Sandwich I prepared some Baked Crab Cakes. I watched Bobby Deen make these last weekend on the Cooking Channel and they looked delicious. So I thought I would give them a try. The recipe makes 12 Crab Cakes but I only had a 1/2 LB. of Crab Claw Meat so I only made 6. The recipe also called for Jumbo Crab Meat and 1 Egg, which I substituted with Egg Beater’s. They turned out very good so I’m looking forward to preparing a full batch of the them using Jumbo Crab Meat instead of the Claw Meat. I served them with Louisiana Remoulade Dressing, which is perfect for any Seafood. Good Baked Crab Cake recipe to keep. I left the full recipe at the end of the post along with a link to Bobby Deen recipes. For dessert later a bowl of Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunks.
