The other day I was digging through my recipe inspiration folder, the place I keep pages upon pages of notes, printed recipes, magazine pages and the like. What I found was a scrap piece of paper with these handwritten words Crab Stuffed Chile Rellenos. That night I made this fabulous dish. Continue reading »

For the past few days I have been pondering what to make for Sunday dinner. On Friday we declared it would be Seafood Lasagna. As I prepared to head to the grocery store on Sunday morning, there was an abrupt change of plans. “You know what, pick up a Ribeye for dinner. That would be a lot easier than the lasagna.” As you wish. Hmmp. Since when has easy been my reason for cooking? I surprised them with Seafood Lasagna Roll-Ups as an appetizer. Continue reading »

I’ve been on a sentimental journey lately exploring old family recipes. I could hardly wait to recreate Mom’s Deviled Crab Dip. I actually didn’t remember it all that well, but the ingredients were so yummy and intriguing that I knew we’d love it. Continue reading »

Seafood Lasagna {with Jalapeño Alfredo Sauce}.
Indulgent. I know. I make no excuses and take full responsibility for my actions.
Here’s how it happened. We are desperately trying to work down the chaos in our pantry and uncover the mysteries in our freezer. Our goal, by the time the Farmers Market opens this spring, we’ll have a clean canvas for recipe creation. Continue reading »

Crab Louie Salad Sliders.
The Crab Louie Salad has been around for over 100 years and first became popular on the West Coast of the United States (or was it King Louie himself who first dined on this salad…the world may never know). The salad consists of crisp lettuce, sliced tomato, hard boiled eggs, ripe olives, sometimes asparagus….and of course gorgeous crab meat which is tossed in Crab Louie Dressing. Continue reading »

Crab Rangoon Dip {with Wonton Chips}.
Crab Rangoon are such a favorite around here. We even make them from scratch from time to time. But that was before I served this dip to my family on Sunday and then again to my work family on Monday. I think we’ll be cutting corners (instead of individually folding and deep frying) and jump right to the good stuff from now on. It was a huge hit!! Continue reading »

We made this Maryland Crab Dip for last year’s Super Bowl game in honor of the Baltimore Ravens. It went great with our Cheesy Garlic & Herb Pull-Apart Bread made from a nice sourdough loaf in honor of the San Francisco 49ers.
When I posted the pull apart bread recipe on Facebook last night, the crowd went wild…..for the Maryland Crab Dip :) So I got up this morning and made it just for you. Continue reading »

When life gives you jumbo lump crab meat….
I’d like to say that I did great research to find the most incredible Crab Cake recipe or that I make Crab Cakes on a regular basis and this is my original recipe. But instead I found this wonderful recipe right under my nose. Continue reading »

I must admit I’m quite proud of my Sushi Stack. Not only was it delicious, but it looks so pretty in a picture. And we all know how important that is :) Every time I visit Whole Foods I look forward to winding my way through the store, ultimately reaching the seafood counter. They don’t always have sushi grade tuna but on this day they did. What a huge treat and such a delicacy. Continue reading »
