Lately, I've been craving crab cakes. Like, real ones. Made from scratch and served with rémoulade. And, idiot me had just assumed that there was no way to make them lighter than my trusty, tried-and-true recipe - which yields about 4 extra large cakes with about 7.4 million calories each.

So, I started doing some research and came across this recipe for Lighter Crab Cakes with Spicy Rémoulade, which I made last night. Wow. Incredible. Delicious. And...REAL.

Does it seem like a bunch of ingredients. Okay, yeah. Worth it? Totally. Trust me.

Dear crab cakes - despite being a lighter version of a classic, thank you for still being REAL. You are certainly not the Paris Hilton of the food world.

Sorry, Paris. Just a little joke. You have great hair.

Actually, I haven’t even seen your hair for about three years now, ever since I gave up reading People.

But I’m sure it’s still lovely.

Enjoy! :)

    Sounds pretty good.
  • Bonefish grill also has fabulously delish crabcake meal that includes two cakes and spicy remoulade for 290 calories. A great option if you are too lazy to make them and willing to dish out the $. My fave meal there is the sirloin steak with a crab cake and brocolli. Yum!!!!!

    I understand where you're coming from, but I still believe if you're going to blatantly copy something you should give credit where credit is due. I like seeing the source because sometimes the person who reproduces the recipe might change something small, which may affect the results. I prefer to cook directly from the original source recipe, when available.

    Also, because the OP didn't post the instructions, without knowing the source it would be difficult to actually make the recipe as intended, as you pointed out.

    To the OP - yes, I think saying it was found in a Cooking Light magazine would be fine and greatly appreciated next time! I apologize if I seemed like I was attacking you; I've been getting more and more frustrated with people posting recipes without the source that I took out all my rage on you. :flowerforyou:

    I understand where you're coming from, but I still believe if you're going to blatantly copy something you should give credit where credit is due. I like seeing the source because sometimes the person who reproduces the recipe might change something small, which may affect the results. I prefer to cook directly from the original source recipe, when available.

    Also, because the OP didn't post the instructions, without knowing the source it would be difficult to actually make the recipe as intended, as you pointed out.

    To the OP - yes, I think saying it was found in a Cooking Light magazine would be fine and greatly appreciated next time! I apologize if I seemed like I was attacking you; I've been getting more and more frustrated with people posting recipes without the source that I took out all my rage on you. :flowerforyou:
    Attacked? Okay, yeah, maybe. Lesson learned? Definitely. :) Every single recipe I've posted since then has had a source. :)
