MINI CRAB MUFFINS
This recipe was an e-mail from Bisquick mix. It has all the ingredients that I love(and yes you can use imitation crab-it just won't taste quite the same- but still very good). This is one of those impossible mini muffins using crabmeat,veggies,original bisquick and topped with aioli-if desired a mild and flavorful meal! I loved...

MUFFIN-TIN CRAB CAKES
This recipe has taken the frying and fuss out of crab cakes by shaping and baking them in muffin tins. For the best taste, look for pasteurized crabmeat in the refrigerator case at your market's fish counter, a better choice than canned varieties. Make it a meal: try these crabcakes with some tangy tarter sauce and coleslaw. Note:To make bread crumbs tear crust from bread then tear into pieces & process in a food processer into coarse crumbs, one slice makes about 1/3 cup crumbs. The recipe is courtesy Eatingwell.com.
