Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons pancake mix
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise , or to taste
- 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 egg , beaten
- 1 pound cooked crabmeat , flaked
- 3 cups vegetable oil for frying

1
Combine pancake mix, mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, and egg in a medium bowl until well blended. Fold in crabmeat. Form into 3-inch cakes.

2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. (There should be enough oil to reach half way up the sides of the crab cakes.) When oil is hot, carefully place crab cakes in the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 8 minutes per side. If patties are browning too fast, reduce the heat. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

Apple Chicken Brine
I originally made this apple juice brine recipe for chicken to pair with a gifted bottle of apple wine. It was quite possibly the best chicken I have ever roasted. I love cooking the chicken in a cast-iron roasting pan, sitting on a bed of chopped apple, onion, and garlic. Place thawed whole chicken in chilled brine and refrigerate for 18 to 24 hours — roast chicken as usual.
Baked Potato Salad
This baked potato salad is like a baked potato with all the toppings in a bowl! It's a really nice switch from your everyday mayonnaise-based potato salad.
Creamy Sausage and Mushroom Gnocchi Skillet
This creamy sausage gnocchi is a comforting, indulgent dish with ingredients like wine, cream, and shallots. I do not recommend adding salt because I find the sausage has enough salt. Although cheese is optional, I find it gets lost in the sauce.
