Cucumber Cups with California Crab

This is another wonderful filling to use with the refreshing Cucumber Cups.  I LOVE all things sushi and thought how amazing would it be to recreate the California roll into this appetizer, minus the rice.  Indulge!

Crab & Shrimp Cakes with Red Bell Pepper & Cilantro Cream Sauce

This dish is probably one of the first that I was proud enough of myself to actually photograph.  I am a huge fan of Blue Mesa Grill in Dallas, but can't get back home enough to get my fix so I thought I would try and recreate one of my favorites.  I LOVE crab cakes and had tried many recipes before this one and after tinkering with it- loved the result.
