I was hit hard with a bad, bad cold (probably the flu) last week, so menu planning was really hard. But sometimes it just takes one ingredient and suddenly you are inspired! This is why I will look through the ads for all the stores in my area even if I’m planning to only go to one. I will look at the items that are on sale and see what inspires me.
This week it was imitation crab! Yep I am addicted to imitation crab, I love it! What is imitation crab? “(A) form of kamaboko, a processed seafood made of finely pulverized white fish flesh (surimi)”. It is very sweet and mild.
I found it on sale for $2.64/lb at a local store and bought some up. One serving (3 ounces) of imitation crab is 87 calories and has 10 grams of protein!

Wow! What a great looking menu! I really like the crab frittata!
What a yummy menu! Hope you’re feeling better.
We love stroganoff at our house. I would to try the crab recipe.
I have tried calorie counting many times and every single time, I stop. It’s math, I hate math, it’s too hard, and blegh. Do not like.
Your crab frittata looks delicious. Technology needs to advance enough for me to click on the image of your food and have it come out of the drive or something. How awesome would that be!?
YUM!!!
I love pasta, I have got to start using whole wheat or something.
It’s so funny because although these all look and sound delicious, I absolutely HATE imitation crab.
Eggs in a basket, however, is one of my favorite meals for breakfast or brunch.
Hope you’re feeling better!
Wow – every one of these look good to me! Great menu.
This was a bad idea to look at this while I was super hungry 😉 LOL
but yum..
Glad you are feeling better! This menu looks super! I love eggs in a basket and stroganoff! That crab frittata and mexican meatloaf looks so tasty too!
