So I made Some Crab Cakes after I had seen a few episodes last week or so. I sometimes think I have to be a better planner because I didn’t have bread crumbs for the filler. After realizing this, I found a few slices of Italian Bread and threw them in the food processer. While those bread crumbs were in the oven drying out. I assembled my crab cakes. Normally Red Peppers and Onions go into the mix but disliking those two veggies a lot I skipped it and instead I diced a small zucchini and added it in there. It was left raw but next time I will cook the zucchini first then mix it in. Over this entire dish had great success in my house right down to the cats! The Floridian Summers are rolling in and this dish will defiantly be made again!
