Brunch at home- Homemade Crab Cake Recipe
A positive from working from home is that as much as I miss getting a Cuban toast and café con leche when I’m working in the office. Working from home means I can actually take the time and have a well balanced breakfast. My favorite meal has got to be breakfast, I love a good breakfast or brunch. Something that I have been missing are my weekend brunch trips to different spots. In an effort to fill that void, I create what I crave. When I’m out for brunch I love anything seafood, to be honest, seafood is my go to no matter what the occasion, it must be the Caribbean in me. Anyway crab cakes are always a favorite and I hate when I go somewhere and they’re skimpy on the crab, heavy on the batter. Cooking from home gives you that freedom to make your food just how you like it and I love that. I paired these crab cakes with a special dipping sauce(a.k.a mixing what I could find in my kitchen) and some toast and eggs and it was nothing less of delicious.
If you don’t believe me, try it yourself! Here’s my recipe.
