Marinated Crab Claws

These must be prepared no earlier than one day in advance and no later than six hours before the party. That’s an 18 hour window for those who don’t want to do the math.

Ingredients

1 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
1 /4 cup White balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
1 /2 cup Green onions, chopped
2 Tbsp Red onion, minced
2 Tbsp Celery, chopped fine
2 Tbsp Fresh chives, chopped
1 Tbsp Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 /2 tsp Dry oregano
1/4 cup Pickled okra, chopped
1 Tbsp Jalapeno, minced
1 tsp Salt
1 /2 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp Hot sauce
1 pound Blue crab claws

Instructions

In a large, glass bowl, combine all ingredients except claws. Whisk to mix well. Add crab claws and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least six hours or overnight.

Serve chilled.

Apple French Toast

French toast has been a favorite since childhood—probably one of the first things I could make on my own. Pancakes were my grandmother Muz’s domain, but French toast was all mine. King’s Hawaiian Bread is always a solid choice, but if you can find a bakery that makes fresh brioche or sweet sourdough, grab it. Never been shy about my love for apples, especially Honey Crisp and Fuji. Apple pie’s always been my go-to, but this recipe takes the best part of apple pie and turns it into breakfast.

Pie Dough

This crust has been the base for countless savory pies over the years. The key is keeping the butter ice-cold and giving the dough enough time to rest in the refrigerator. For a little twist, add 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper or 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to the flour mixture.

Denver Omelet Quiche

I love quiche. To me, it’s great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In the morning, it’s perfect with fresh fruit. At lunch or dinner, it pairs well with a light salad. Never use the pre-shredded cheese in plastic bags from the dairy case. It's dusted with cellulose, which messes with the texture and flavor. Always grate cheese from a block. It’s an extra step but it will save money and taste so much better.
