Crab Cakes with California Style

E-mail Print
0204_crabcake_dsc_6259One of the great things about living on the west coast is that great sea food is always in season. Here is a recipe inspired by the classic Maryland style crab cakes with my own California spin.

Many of people are not big fans of mayonnaise and that flavor really shows in  a traditional crab cake recipe.  The substitution of sour cream mellows that flavor and the addition of citrus, avocado and cotija cheese will give your crab cakes a twist the really says west coast!

Restaurant Salsa, Homeade

E-mail Print

I don’t know about you, but I love the salsa at my favorite Mexican restaurant. I just can’t afford to eat there whenever I get that craving.
