Struggle with Needing Fast Dinners?  Easy Crab Cakes Recipe Makes Fast Meal

Sometimes you don’t have time to cook and who would think of crab cake recipes as a fast dinner?  My easy Crab Cakes recipe with Horseradish Sauce not only is simple to make but absolutely delicious.  When I don’t have time to cook, I often turn to my KITCHEN 101 cookbook and this week I had a craving for a crab cake recipe.  What you might not realize is this is a healthy crab cakes recipe.  Also, this recipe is a diabetic crab recipe which sometimes is hard to fine.  I love crab cakes but often find the restaurants have so much filler and I want to taste the crabmeat.  The best of both worlds with my recipe – easy-to-make, full or crabmeat and healthy!  Don’t forget the incredible crab cake sauce recipe.

Easy Crab Cake Recipe with Everyday Ingredients

When I am creating my recipes, I try to include the least amount of ingredients to give the recipe the right amount of flavor.  After all, nobody wants a long shopping list!  My goal is to inspire you to cook healthier and enjoy your favorite foods.  This healthy crab cake recipe truly is a winner.  I am staying at my sister’s house in Houston while undergoing cancer treatment and decided to make them dinner.  I whipped up my best crab cake recipe in minutes and they were so excited to have homemade crab cakes packed with crabmeat.  We all enjoyed them too much and my brother-in-law loved the crab cake sauce recipe.  I love this Horseradish Sauce as it complements the recipe.
