Maryland Crab Cakes II
I have lived in Maryland all my life, and these, I'm sorry to say, were not good crab cakes. They were dry and had a poor taste besides. We will not be having these again. What a terrible waste of a pound of backfin crab meat!

Shepherd's Pie VI
Very good, but I have to admit I changed some things. First, I used instant mashed potatoes. Second, I used frozen veggies. I sauteed the beef and onions as instructed, but added broiled steak seasoning and some salt free beef bouillon and water (instead of broth) to the mix along with the flour and ketchup. It made a very nice gravy. I poured that into my dish, layered the frozen vegetables in, then the potatoes, then the cheese and some paprika. I baked the result (which was very pretty) covered for 10 minutes at 325 to steam the veggies a little and then uncovered for 20 minutes at 375 as the recipe instructs. This was SO good! Will definitely be making again! A+

Alaska Salmon Bake with Pecan Crunch Coating
This was very good! It did take a heck of a lot longer to bake than I thought it would, however.
