There is a time to be creative and a time to accept that the classic recipe is the best. In the case of Maryland crab cakes, it is the latter. This timeless seafood appetizer works great as a warm-up for a more elaborate seafood main course or as a delightful bite-sized contrast to something like grilled steak.

I grew up around seafood, and though the classic Maryland crab cake may owe its name to a location far removed from my childhood home, it is an appetizer cherished by most any community close to salt water. And yes, Maryland crab cakes have an addictive savory taste: In the right mood, I could gorge myself on them without no need for anything else other than a nice helping of beer or wine.

Perhaps the best thing about this appetizer, though, is the versatility that it offers your menu: Obviously, it goes well with a larger seafood course, but it also pairs nicely with something like a grilled steak.

Make Tasty, Easy Nachos–Without Going Nuclear!

You won’t find any bright orange pseudo-cheese or microwave instructions here. Use your favorite slow cooker (I use a Crock-Pot) to whip up a much tastier alternative: Cuban Nachos With White Cheese Sauce. It’s like a pulled pork sandwich in nacho form!

It really is a shame that most people in the United States only think of Mexican and Tex-Mex when they hear the phrase “Latin American food.”  Not that there aren’t plenty of fabulous Mexican and Tex-Mex recipes out there–we at Tastee Recipe have shared plenty with you in our time.  But if that is ALL that you think Latin America has to offer, you’re really missing out!  I was fortunate enough to grow up in an area just close enough to other parts of the Latin world (I spent most of my formative years on the Gulf Coast) to know better, but even I fall into that trap, sometimes, since so many dine-out options where I live now ARE Mexican or Tex-Mex places.  I really was happy to come across this reminder that, hey, the rest of Latin America has some really great flavors, too!

It was also nice to see a nacho recipe that called for pork instead of beef.  Hey, I love those beef nachos, too, but they can be more than a bit greasy, sometimes, not to mention making the nachos feel a bit heavy in your stomach.  “The other white meat” is a nice, lower-fat, lower-grease alternative.  And trust me, with the savory assortment of spices in this recipe, and that delicious homemade white cheese sauce, you don’t need that extra fat to feel very satisfied.

If you are looking for a nice dip for an upcoming gathering (or for yourself), consider this delicious watermelon salsa! It’s a sweet twist on a tried-and-true classic, and very simple to make. Yes, this recipe is a little different from your typical salsa. To me, that is the beauty of it, though. Why settle for the same-old, same-old, when you can make a mouth-watering variation of it so quickly and easily? Give it a try. I did, and I was not disappointed.

I’m sure you’ve been here:  You’re planning a big barbecue.  Maybe it is for an elaborate Labor Day weekend, or maybe you and your S.O. just want to take advantage of the nice weather and cook a few things that you haven’t had the pleasure of eating in grilled form in a while.  You know that it is going to be a big ordeal, and while the S.O. is drinking beer and bragging about being grillmaster of the world, you’re probably going to be stuck doing most of the prep work.  You aren’t going to have a lot of free time to make something else fancy, but you know that you’ll need something to keep all of the rumbling of stomachs at bay, and you’d rather not go with a store-bought option out of a jar or can if you can help it.

If that is your predicament (or will be in the near future), consider making this watermelon salsa.  It is simple to make, really healthy, and just the right blend of flavors for a refreshing summertime snack.

I have a special place in my heart for cheesy dips, the spinach and the bacon just put this over the top! This recipe is one of those extra special ones that I will risk my life saving if my house catches fire.

I’ve made this a couple of times already and it’s always gone before I can say “cheesy spinach dip”! Seriously, make a double batch. You won’t regret it! This cheesy spinach and bacon dip recipe is great – I usually buy dips from the ready to eat isle at the grocery store. This is one of my first attempts doing a dip fully from scratch and it really turned out well. This dip is great for your next party or pot luck!

I’ve made this several times already, for family gatherings and a special birthday party. Everyone loved it! I can’t remember the last time I had to write down a recipe so many times, for all the guests that had tasted this marvelous dip!

These Fries Are Good For You!

These asparagus fries are crazy good for as healthy as they are! I had never realized you could cook asparagus this way until I ran into this recipe. I had my doubts and I almost decided not to try these. I’m so glad I changed my mind! I am going to start making these often because it’s really hard to find ways to prepare vegetables that my family will enjoy with a good appetite. I could eat all the veggies in the world so I have no idea where they got it from!

 

 

This asparagus fries recipe is one that really hits the mark! These are flavorful and crispy, and it’s the perfect way to disguise asparagus so my children will eat it. These will also work for a healthy contribution to a pot luck.

These Are Going To Blow Your Mind

My family is a big fan of Hispanic food, especially taquitos. I try to buy the better quality ones from Trader Joe’s or Fresh and Easy, but sometimes I just get the freezer isle kind. I had never even tried making my own until I came across this recipe.

Somehow I always thought they’d be difficult to make or that they wouldn’t be so tasty. What drew me in was the cream cheese and chicken combo; I was very intrigued and was not disappointed at all. These are delicious and so creamy! They’re perfect for your next potluck or tailgate. It’s good to make these in double batches just to have some that can be re-heated for lunches. And you know these will only get better when re-heated!

This recipe turned into an instant success at our house, and I’m sure your family will fall in love with these taquitos, too. Let us know how yours turn out, and please share with all of your friends.

I am not sure if there’s anyone in this world who doesn’t like cheese,bacon and biscuits (honestly, if someone says they don’t, I think they’re probably in denial). If you happen to be one of those people then this recipe certainly isn’t for you. However, if you do love all the above-mentioned ingredients, these cheesy bacon bombs are going to blow you away!

 

 

These little guys are crazy good and sooo easy to prepare. They are really going to be the star of your next tailgate, potluck or dinner party.
