1 (16 oz) can of Phillips Crab (bought at Food Lion)
Recipe is on back of can

Phillips crab cakes
1 lb. crab meat
1 egg
2 tsp worcheshire sauce
1/4 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp mayonnaise
1 tsp lemon juice
1 TB mustard
1 TB melted butter
1 tsp parsley flakes
1 tsp Phillips seafood seasoning
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Combine all ingredients except crab meat. Fold in crab meat. Shape into cakes . Pan fry or bake . I pan fried mine on my griddle with a little olive oil.

Steamed shrimp
Put shrimp into a bowl with about 2 cups water, 1 can light beer, 2 lemons squeezed ( put rinds in also), bay seasoning, garlic salt and let set for an hour.
Drain liquid out and put into a large pot. Bring to boil and add shrimp back to liquid. Bring this back to boil only.
Drain and add a little more butter, bay seasoning and garlic salt while steaming hot.

Homemade slaw

Grate cabbage and put into a bowl. Add mayonnaise, little mustard, little sugar, salt and pepper. Stir all together and add a little sour cream.

Hush puppies

I use House of Autry hush puppy mix. The recipe is on the back of the bag.

Baked potatoes fixed to your liking

Apple turnovers

I slice my apples ( the little ones from the farm trees) and fill my 8 x 10 sprayed dish. To the apples I add just a little water ( maybe 3/4 cup), sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and put several pieces of butter on top.
Bake at 375 for about an hour and a half stirring and chopping every so often. The apples will be completely cooked and dark brown.

I use Grands buttermilk biscuits. Place biscuits on a little flour and roll out with rolling pin. Place about 2 heaping TB apple mix onto biscuit. Wet outer edge of bottom half of biscuit and fold over and crease with fingers and then fork.
Fry in hot grease in electric fry pan on both sides until golden brown. Drain on paper bag covered with paper towels. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon (1/2 cup sugar to 1 tsp cinnamon) mixture on top of hot turnovers.

We have out of town guest tonight from Georgia. It is so nice to have Steve here with us tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed having him for dinner. He just made over everything and how delicious it was.
