Crabby Jacks

"Crabby, cheesy, hot and delicious. This is an easy and yummy appetizer we use at holiday time, but I'm not sure why we only have them then. Great recipe you can throw together with pantry items, although fresh crab is so much better."

  1. These are just what I wanted! Not for a party, but just for me. Just delicious. I was making only one, so didn't bother measuring the ingredients. I did use them all, though I substitututed red onion for green onion. Cooked in a frying pan and eaten with salsa, they turned out very well. I will keep them in mind when I need to serve other people. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live with my husband of 34 years in Oregon. We have 3 great kids and 4 beautiful grandchildren, 6 year old triplets and a soon to be 2 year old. Our daughter lives in Athens, Greece with her husband and our youngest, a son, just got married last summer. My stepson and his wife are the parents of our grandchildren and live about an hour away. Our family is growing and it's always fun to have them all together! I love to travel. I have just returned from a trip to Vietnam and have visited our daughter in Greece several times. During my travels I always enjoy the local food and have fun trying to re-create it at home. To pay the bills, I've been a hairstylist for 40 years and I still love it. I knit, sew, read and I'm just beginning to become interested in quilting,digital scrapbooking and geneology.
