Crab Pie  2- 9" deep pie crusts (baked 3 minutes and cooled) 1 lb. lump crab meat * 4 eggs 2 Tbsp. flour 1 cup mayonnaise 1 cup whole milk 8 oz. shredded Swiss cheese 8 oz. shredded Cheddar cheese 2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning 1- Tbsp. finely chopped onion 1- Tbsp. finely chopped green pepper 1. Pre-heat oven to 350º - par bake your crust for 3 minutes. We used Pillsbury pie dough and it worked out great. We did spray the pie pans with Pam spray to keep the crust from sticking. 2. Combine eggs, flour, mayonnaise and milk, mix well. Add remainder of the ingredients (except crab meat) and mix well. 3. Fold in crab meat and try not to separate the lumps of crab meat too much. Pour into 2 separate pie crusts, sprinkle with additional Old Bay Seasoning. 4. Bake at 350º for 50 minutes or until knife comes out clean. (Check at about 40 minutes to avoid burning, since ovens vary). Notes * - Use any crab meat you prefer. It's all good!

Healthier Fall Treats

Image
Healthier Fall Treats for those school parties- Since the bananas have a tendency to brown quickly dip them very briefly in 7-up or Sprite. It will prevent browning, but without the sourness of lemon juice. Use chocolate chips for eyes & mouth on the "ghosts" and a piece of celery for the pumpkin stems.   #Halloween #HealthyHalloween #HalloweenTreats #budget101 Found on Facebook
