Beryl's Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

From Beryl ....a co-worker of Mike's...I couldn't stop eating these and they were a hit at the New Years party I made them for also!

1 lb. fresh mushrooms
1 T. butter
1/2 lb. crab meat
2 8 oz. packages cream cheese
2 T. mayonnaise
1 tsp. garlic salt
5 to 10 drops of Tabasco Sauce

Clean mushrooms and removed stems. Set caps aside. Chop stems and saute in melted butter. Add remaining ingredients and heat til smooth. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Spoon hot mixture into mushroom caps. Top them with shredded cheese and dust them with Old Bay spice. Place them back in the oven, just to melt the cheese.

** Mixture can also be served as a dip on chips or crackers if you're not a mushroom fan!

I've only bought crab meat in a can for crab cakes. Would that work or do I go to the meat department and get it fresh?

I used fresh, but it was very expensive, so I'm going to try it with canned and I'll let you know how it goes.
Do you have a good crab cake recipe?

I used a good crab cake recipe a long time ago but have since lost it or thrown it away. I now just make tuna cakes- cheaper!

Easy Donuts

Joe introduced me to these, and Paula Deen has a recipe for them on Food Network . So I am jumping to the conclusion that they are popular in the South... :) Here's how we made ours. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot on medium heat. You want to heat to about 350 degrees, so we used a candy thermometer to monitor the temp. Prepare the toppings. Note - For the toppings, we didn't actually measure any of the ingredients, just eyeballed it. But this is about how much we used. Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Cinnamon Sugar Coating: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp Cinnamon Whisk together in a dish with a lid or a paper bag, set aside. Peanut Butter Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk 2 Tbsp peanut b

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I got this recipe from my mom, who got it from her sister, who got it from...I'm not sure who, but I tried it and Mike and I liked it. It is not an exact replica of PF Changs infamous Lettuce Wraps, but it is similar. Brown chicken (the recipe calls for 2-3 chicken breasts - I used 2) in skillet. Remove and set aside and then either shred or cut into small chunks. Pour 2 T canola or olive oil into skillet and add 1 T grated or minced fresh ginger root and some rice straws, if desired. I used my kitchen shears to cut a bunch off. Rice straws have to be softened in the oil. Cook about 4-5 minutes. Then add back in the chicken you have either shredded or cut. Continue cooking while adding vegetables. I added shredded carrots, broccoli cut into small pieces, water chestnuts cut into quarters, Italian green beans cut into small pieces (slender whole beans cut up would work), red pepper, green onion (or use onion powder), baby corn cobs cut into 2 or 3 slices, and whatever else you would
