Awesome recipes...thought I would share

Jeremy and I are trying to get back into the habit of cooking a new and different meal every week....and we definitely succeeded tonight. It'll be a long post, but we are putting up our two new ones from tonight, the Lettuce Wraps from our "WINNING MEAL", and also the Szechuan Chicken. Enjoy!

Crispy Crab Cakes (delicious...just need a sauce!)

¼ cup fat-free mayonnaise
1 egg white
1 t Dijon mustard
1 t Old Bay Seasoning (at the Seafood counter)
1 t Worcestershire sauce
¾ lb imitation crab meat, chopped
½ lb medium peeled and deveined shrimp, chopped
¾ cup fresh whole-wheat bread crumbs
1 T olive oil
1 (5 oz) bag mixed greens (or fresh spinach)
4 lemon wedges

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine the mayonnaise, egg white, mustard, Old Bay seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Beat with a whisk until blended

Add the crabmeat and shrimp. Mix well

Add the breadcrumbs, stirring until blended

Form 7-8 patties

Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until lightly brown (3-4 minutes on each side)

Transfer to a baking sheet, baking until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes)

Serve with mixed greens and a lemon wedge

Beef and Gorgonzola Toasts (awesome...you'll love these Kel...and they look like Top Chef winners!)

1 ¼ lb beef tenderloin, trimmed
Cooking spray

½ t ground black pepper
30 (1/4 inch thick) slices diagonally cut French bread baguette, toasted
Herb-Garlic Cream
2/3 cup fat free sour cream
2 T minced fresh chives

****or you can get Garlic and Herb Cheese spread prepared in the cheese section of your local grocery store****
30 baby spinach leaves
5 T crumbled gorgonzola cheese
Preheat oven to 475
Trim tenderloin of fat
Spray boiler pan with cooking spray and place tenderloin/steak on it. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes at 475. Flip tenderloin/steak, reduce heat to 425, and cook for 20 more minutes or until thermometer reaches 145 degrees (medium rare)
Remove from oven, cover with foil, and let stand 10 minutes
Cut tenderloin across the grain into very thin slices
Toast the thinly sliced baguettes
