If you’ve ever watched SpongeBob SquarePants, you know about the coveted secret recipe for Krabby Patties. It seems The Crab Ladies have brought them to real life with their gluten-free jumbo lump crab cakes.  Roma Campanaro and Jill Rabin’s catering company grew famous for their crab cakes and this prompted them to start The Crab Ladies crab cake company.

If you love crab, then you’ll love these crab cakes. After eating one of these you’ll better understand the silly antics of the SpongeBob characters. Of course, these might only be everyday fare for the financially independent, but they would make a lovely gift for anyone, especially a gluten-free friend.  No one will ever be able to say you are a cheapskate after receiving these delicious treats. And don’t forget- it’s good to indulge yourself once and awhile!

Homemade Garlic Mayo

This recipe is adapted from The Mood Cure by Julia Ross.  (I absolutely love, love, love this book and will write about it at length another time.)

In a blender put:

1 egg
1/2 cup of olive oil
1/8 tsp. of mustard powder
1/2 tsp. of sea salt.
1 tsp. of apple cider vinegar
Juice of half a lemon

Blend until creamy, about 20 seconds. After mixture is blended, slowly add another 1/2 cup of olive oil to the mixture. You may need to stop blending and stir in order to get it moving again. When finished serve topped with dill and/or chopped garlic mixed in.
