These delicious Crab Cakes are the perfect appetizers when you have company. They are very tasty and really whet one’s appetite for the main meal to come. Serving them on a bed of leafy greens makes a lovely presentation. Done this way, it makes a light and delicious lunch as well.

It is best to use fresh crab meat but preparing the crab meat is not a fun thing to do. As such, I often substitute the crab with fish. I have tried both cod and salmon to make fish cakes using the same ingredients except for the crab meat. They are just as tasty and delicious.

Flower Power

You’ve probably noticed that I have been sharing some pictures on plants and flowers taken in and around the house. It is a lot of fun as the subject matter is always gorgeous with little to no work invested. Of course, there is the watering and tending to part, but you know what I mean. If only my food pictures look this way…sigh!

It’s been lovely outside and the plants are all coming back nicely. Instead of taking pictures, I should probably be spending time making the yard look a bit more decent. After the spring thaw, it is just a mess outside and seeds from the mature trees add to it! They rain down on us at different times. The maples are almost done and now it is the ashes’ turn, followed by the paper birch and the worst of them all…the cottonwoods!! We can certainly look forward to back breaking yard work in the days ahead.

Now, back to today’s flower picture. I want to share this as it is the last flower for the season for this amazing plant. They say the difference between the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter cactus is when they bloom. Each is supposed to bloom near its respective holiday. I think this is the Thanksgiving one as it has pointy teeth between the segments. However, this wonderful plant not only blooms during Thanksgiving but continues through Christmas. It takes a short break and blooms again during Easter! The two inch long flowers cover the entire plant. It is pretty awesome!

    I have never tried using crab meat in my cooking. Your crab cakes look very delicious. I'm not sure whether 2 pieces is enough for me 😛 That's a very beautiful picture of the flower. Sadly, I don't have green fingers for plants 🙁 I think I don't have enough patience and the plants don't like me…sob sob

    Oh good Lord! Those crab cakes look fantastic!! Right now I really do envy your family LOL I would definitely have those on a bed of greens and maybe with some avocado and lemon too.

    Your photography is ace Biren – whatever the subject 🙂 And that cactus bloom is breathtaking!

    @bunkycooks – Thanks! There are always too few of them. I guess that's why it always taste so good 🙂

    @Haddock – Thanks for visiting and for the nice comments. If only we can buy fresh peeld crab meat, it'll be a snap to make.

    @Gulmohar – Crab meat is so sweet and a great addition to most dishes.

    @5 Star Foodie – Thanks!

    @Kamalika – Thank you….you are sweet!

    @Mary – Crab cakes are delicious and I always wish I can make more of it. I do enjoy taking pictures of those lovely flowers.

    @MaryMoh – Hehehe……you are right Mary. Actually 2 is not quite enough but it is hard to peel those crabs. A lot of times, I end up using fish instead. Oh, I've had my share of plants dying on me to. Some need more TLC than others 🙂

    @Shahana – You'll have to try it since it's your hubby's favorite. It is worthe the effort.

    @luvtoeat – Awww….you are sweet! Thank you so much for thinking of me. I'll be visiting you soon. Happy Friday to you too 🙂

    @Yummy Team – Thanks!

    @Cookie – Thanks for visiting and for the nice comment. I do like colorful dishes 🙂

    @Cinnamon-Girl – Thanks for the compliments. I'm still learning to handle the camera 🙂 I don't make these crab cakes too often but they are really good.

    @tigerfish – If only we can buy fresh peeled crabmeat…..sigh**

    [email protected] on the dinner table – You know, these two crab cakes only get to lie on those greens cause I need to photograph them. The others don't get a chcance to rest at all…LOL!

    You are sweet! After 3 plants, this is the only one that bothered to give me such wonderful blooms season after season.

    @redkathy – Thank you. It is also one of my favorites. Crab meat is delicious.

    Cookin' Canuck – Thank you. They were and it was gone in seconds!
