Crab English Muffins

This is a very simple way to make a quick lunch or dinner.  Very good and has a kick to it as well!

~1/2 pound lump crab meat
~6-8 English muffins
~1/2 cup light mayo
~1/2 cup dark brown dijon mustard
~1 cup grated cheddar cheese
~1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Mix mayo and dijon mustard together.  Cut English Muffins in half and spread this mixture on top.  Add a good serving of crab meat on top of muffins and sprinkle each with a little cayenne pepper.  Top with cheddar and place in oven on low on broil.  Broil for about 5-7 minutes. Or until English Muffin is brown and cheese melted.

Pralines

I love New Orleans Pralines.  I used to not like pecans, but now I love them! These are easy and tasty...just make sure the temp reaches 238-240 degrees! 

(side note: It's important, when making candy, that you meet the required temperature of the boiling mixture.  If not, they will not harden properly once placed on aluminum foil.  Trust me, this has happened to me!)

You Will Need~

~1 1/2 cups sugar
~3/4 cups dark brown sugar
~1/2 cup milk
~6 Tablespoons butter
~1 teaspoon vanilla
~1 cup pecans, chopped


Combine all ingredients in a small pot.  Boil until temperature reaches 238 degrees.



Remove from heat, stirring constantly, about 3-5 minutes, until it thickens.  Take a medium size spoon and spoon onto aluminum foil. 

YUMMY!!

Bake at 375 for 8 minutes or until lightly brown. 

To make the icing, mix together milk, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.  Drizzle on top of rolls.
