Take-In Thursday ~ Crab Cakes

Thursday is here!

Today's recipe is a crab cake recipe. Instead of full-sized crab cake patties, you can make smaller cakes and have a great appetizer for a party. If you really enjoy the flavors of certain herbs and spices, mix them into the patty mixture as well. Make them your own and be creative!
