December 25, 2018  Lets talk seafood for Christmas Dinner
I went to the 99 Market that is an Asian grocery store and they have live Crab along with Lobster and different kinds of fresh fish.
I love buying fresh, the taste of Crab right from the Ocean is like nothing you have ever tasted. They are sweeter than you could imagine.  Cooking the Crab yourself, means you won't have to eat over done crab. It comes out of the shell so easy when it is that fresh.

I have the fish guy remove the head and spray it out so all the yuck is gone.  I think take it home and start a big spaghetti post full of salt water to boil. Then you will place 2 crabs in the boiling water and wait for the legs to all turn an orangish pink, then its ready.

Pull out of the boiling water and either eat warm with melted butter or cool it off and pick the crab out and place it on a bright crispy green salad with any kind of fixings you like on it.You could add a hard boiled egg to the salad it goes really well.  I make my own dressing by taking Miracle Whip and Cocktail sauce with a little squeeze of fresh lemon.  Stir well and there you go. It is so yummy with a bit of spiciness.

You can serve with some wonderful garlicky bread and sprinkle a little mozzarella cheese, throw it under the broiler.

I hope your Christmases were filled with all your dreams are well on their way to you.

Mini Cheesecakes with Apple Caramel Sauce I love making mini cheesecakes as they store really well and you don’t have to worry about eating too much. You can top them with almost anything. This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
