Did you know that carb and crab are essentially the same word? Usually crab cakes are loaded with bread crumbs, which make them a higher carb dish, but this recipe does not have bread crumbs, making it lower carb. The mixture seems very loose when you first mix it, and it seems like the cakes will fall apart when you put them in the pan, but if you get the pan pretty hot before you add the cakes, they stay together and crisp up very nicely. They are accompanied by a mustard sauce as well. I think these crab cakes would be as an appetizer to be served at a party, or even ...

Pecan Crusted Trout
This is another pretty basic recipe that I cooked the other day for my boss. This recipe was from Cooking Light (I think), so it is pretty healthy. I had the guy at the fish counter remove the skin, but you could also make it with the skin and only coating one side if desired. This crust is also so tasty it could be used on chicken or other in season light fishes (tilapia, arctic char, flounder, bass even). I might even consider using the crust on some eggplant as a vegetarian option. Also, depending on the type of fish you choose, this could be an inexpensive meal. It would be great ...

Skinny Lasagna Soup
Lasagna soup is a healthier spin on lasagna, and on a fall or winter day this is a great warming meal. It usually turns out a tad spicy, but you definitely have the opportunity to kick up the spice with extra red pepper if desired (or less if you like less heat). By using only a few lasagna noodles, it keeps the carbohydrate and calorie level down. With only 225 calories per cup, this is a great healthy meal. It's likely that this could be cooked in the crock pot, too. If so, I would add the noodles with about an hour left to cook. If you try it, let me ...
