Tonight I wanted to make something different. I don’t
usually make seafood, as the husband is repulsed by it, however he is working
tonight and I am celebrating losing another inch off my waist.
Oh, I haven’t shared have I?!
I have been working hard since my “month of hell”, which I
will blog about next, but that is neither here nor there.
Anyways on to something different, I decided to make Crab
Cakes with Fresh Lemon.

They turned out AMAZING! My 6 year old asked “mommy, are
these made out of marshmallows?”
And to top it off, they are only 311 calories for TWO crab
cakes. WIN!

Cook in batches over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until golden
brown. Serve with lemon wedges.
