Another fast dinner for summer nights. Add a big green salad on the side—farmer's market lettuce is finally here! (recipe from my dad)
6 to 8 oz cooked shredded crab meat; your grocery store should have it
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, or more to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
one or two big spoonfuls of mayo; just enough to moisten
english muffins, halved and lightly toasted
Preheat the broiler. Mix together the crab, Old Bay, cheddar and mayo. Spread mixture on english muffins. Broil for a few minutes or until toasty.
*You can make the crab mixture ahead of time. These also make tasty appetizers; cut them into fourths and expect rave reviews.
A Working Mom's Meal Plan
The hardest part of my day is when we get home and everyone is immediately hungry. I love to cook and prefer
home-cooked meals, but I don't like to cook much during the work week. And yet, dinner has to get on the table...
My solution: make-ahead meals, freeze-ahead meals and recipes so easy that I'll make them on a Monday. I cook
mostly on the weekends, always doubling recipes, and rely heavily on my extra freezer and a decently-stocked pantry.
This cooking style saves me time and money, and it makes my life simpler—so I can actually enjoy sitting down
to supper at 6 with my family. I hope these recipes will make the witching hour a little better at your house too.
