How To Keep Crab Cakes From Falling Apart

How To Keep Crab Cakes From Falling Apart


By Jennifer Iserloh, Posted Mar 31st 2011

Jennifer IserlohCrab cakes are scrumptious made with sweet fresh crab meat, fresh herbs, mayo and tart bright lemon. Keeping homemade crab cakes from falling apart isn't as hard as you think. But the bane of crab cakes is scooping them out of a skillet only to have them break into soft, unmanageable lumps. Sure, they still taste good, but keeping them in neat, ...

French Toast with Caramelized Banana and Rum


By Jennifer Iserloh, Posted Mar 31st 2011

Jennifer IserlohThe French call "French toast," "pain purdue," which means "lost bread" since it's dunked in a sea of eggs and milk. And after having a large plate of it at your local brunch you might feel like you've lost your healthy eating habits, with all that maple syrup, butter, eggs and thick slices of white bread. But updating this Sunday morning treat ... Read More# Jennifer IserlohThe French call "French toast," "pain purdue," which means "lost bread" since it's dunked in a sea of eggs and milk.

Four Rules for Fabulous Healthy Snacks


By Jennifer Iserloh, Posted Mar 31st 2011

Jennifer IserlohI think of the four "F's" as a guide: fiber, filling, fast, and fun when I'm coming up with the ultimate healthy snack for the day. Healthy snacks should be: high in fiber more filling compared to a candy bar or a handful of potato chips for the same or less calories fast to make, and the snack should be ...

French Onion Soup with Guinness

French Onion Soup with Guinness


By Jennifer Iserloh, Posted Mar 9th 2011

Jennifer IserlohThis year for St. Patrick's Day, I'm making French onion soup with an Irish twist - it's made with Guinness beer and aged Irish cheddar. It turns out that the beer's "Guinness is Good for You" slogan from the 1920s might actually have some truth to it, according to the 1993 article from the BBC, "Guinness Could Really Be Good for You." Plus, the beer's ... Read More# Jennifer IserlohThis year for St. Patrick's Day, I'm making French onion soup with an Irish twist - it's made with Guinness beer and aged Irish cheddar.

Jennifer IserlohWhen my Granny made chicken and biscuits she called it "Chicken a la King," a misnomer (Chicken a la King -- a ragout made with mushrooms, sherry and heavy cream served over puffed pastry -- was all the rage in the 1950s).

Healthy Pancakes with Cinnamon and Chocolate


By Jennifer Iserloh, Posted Feb 11th 2011

Jennifer IserlohMy pancakes with cinnamon and chocolate look and taste totally decadent, but in fact they're a lot healthier than store-bought pancake mixes. To cut back on fat and calories, I've used sweet potatoes in place of some of the oil and eggs in the batter (adding applesauce to baked goods is so last year -- why not opt for an add-in that will achieve the same ...

Jennifer IserlohAbout once a week I crave a big, juicy bistro-style hamburger -- most people do. Of course, it's the taste of a rich, meaty burger that I'm after, but it's also nutritionally smart. A small amount of red meat and other iron-rich foods are an important part of your diet, especially when you're feeling stressed or run down, or when life gets really busy. ...
