The beef sandwiches are one of my husband’s favorites and mine as well since it is so easy! Both are super easy – both on the budget and time spent in the kitchen!

Passionate Penny Pincher Recipes 12/22
December 22, 2011
Laurie over at Passionate Penny Pincher sent over her recipes for the week. I have seen many recipes using Ritz crackers as a breading for chicken and have never tried it. I happened to find a few stray boxes of Ritz during my pantry clean out this week. Since I just added a few more boxes from the new sale, I think I will put those older boxes to good use and try out Laurie’s recipe!
Big Taste Small Budget – Classic Crab Cakes
December 19, 2011
Susan over at Our Family Eats sent over her Big Taste Small Budget meal for the week and it is a good one!
One of my favorite things to order at a restaurant are crab cakes. There is a little cajun restaurant in my town that make the best crab cakes I have ever put in my mouth. I have told my husband several times that I was going to attempt to copy the recipe at home.
I have never taken the time to sit down and come up with a recipe. Today, Susan sent over her recipe for Classic Crab Cakes so I think it is time I give it a try.
What do you guys think…is this a recipe that you’ll try out?

You guys know I love FREE eCookbooks right? Well, I love them even more when they contain an original recipe by yours truly –tee hee!
You’re definitely going to want to take a peek at the eCookbook: Tastes from Home by Frito-Lay Fans and be sure and try my recipe for Spicy Shrimp and Grits Bites. I had the best time coming up with a recipe. I actually made this one for my family at a dinner a few months ago and it was a hit!
There are a ton of great recipes…so you might want to browse through and see if any of the others float your boat!
My recipe was provided to the folks at Frito-Lay as part of a Frito-Lay recipes contest.
