Change eating habits

One way we can eat healthy is to change eating habits. We do things out of habit. If we're thirsty we grab a can soda or sugary drink. Instead of sugary drinks drink water. Put a little lemon in it and it takes better. If your hungry for a sweet treat eat fruit instead. If your hungry for chips eat vegetables instead. Your getting my drift about now, I think. So instead of going to a fast food place to eat cook something instead. When you cook your food you know whats in it. Every once and a while I like to get on line and check out the calories/sodium/fat grams at the restaurants. It is amazing how much calories/sodium/fat grams is in the food. For example at BK a double whopper sandwich 910 calories/57 fat grams. The calories in an awesome blossom is 2710 and total fat is 203.0 grams. So chew on that for a while,,,, woow.

I found a great recipe to share with you and it's not hard. It's Mini Crab Cakes, it's pretty easy, so give it a try you will love it. Invite some friends to share with.

Mini Crab Cakes:

1 large egg, beaten
3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
2 Tablespoon finely chopped onions
4 Saltine crackers, crumbled
1 Teaspoon seasoning (mixture of salt, red pepper, basil, garlic salt)
1 Tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 Pound lump crabmeat
2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided

Combine egg and next 5 ingredients and mix well. Gently fold in crab: don't over mix (your lump crab meat won't be lump anymore" Form int 12 mini crab cakes (the patties will be fairly wet).

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry crab cakes, in 2 batches. 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining oil and crab cakes. Makes 1 dozen.

This is one of the easier crab cake recipes I've seen and good.

*Note: non stick skillets lets you use less oil when preparing meals or you can even use an electric skillet.
