Fantastic Faux Crab Cakes

These are great because they are quick, easy and use ingredients you can easily have on hand. You can always substitute canned or real crab, or canned salmon. To make these gluten free, make sure not to use imitation crab or shellfish, because it has wheat as a filler.

This recipe is perfect for that gluten free bread that's been sitting in your freezer since the day you went gluten free and haven't touched since that first bite. ;) I used toasted Kinnikinnick Robbins Honey Brown Rice Bread (https://secure.kinnikinnick.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/Shop.Main/productidupc/62013300011/prodCatID/1/viewtype/info.html) and it worked great! Enjoy!

Annie's Naturals

Annie's salad dressings are my favorite. They are simple, clean and many are gluten free! They go great with many things, here is an idea.

Chicken or firm white fish with Annie's Naturals Roasted Red Pepper Vinaigrette, or other marinade. Marinate if desired. Put in a baking dish or foil pouch and cook in oven or on grill. Serve over rice or mashed cooked cauliflower.

Here is a list of their gluten free options: http://www.anniesnaturals.com/gluten_free
