Meg's Crab Cakes

Today was a busy day of cooking, getting ready for Easter but those delights will be posted when the finished results are in. After baking and cooking most of the day my one job left was to  make crab cakes for dinner. I was shopping at Costco with my mom and she said their crab was very good so I picked up a container(Crab lump meat not the artificial stuff). My mother has the best crab cake recipe. These crab cakes are small and delicate not all fat and full of bread.. If you like crab cakes give these a try!
