Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Baked Crab Rangoons

I'm pretty unadventurous when it comes to ordering Chinese food.  I'm a C16 on the menu all day long.  I never stray from the spicy garlic shrimp over white rice.  So I never knew what I was missing until my brother ordered a side of crab rangoons.

I'm pretty sure that the deep fried goodness of crab, green onion and cream cheese isn't very healthy, so I was thrilled to find a baked version.  Here's one of the new recipes we tried on Christmas Eve:

INGREDIENTS


1/8 tsp garlic salt,
1/8 tsp Worcestershire sauce,
14 won ton wrappers,
1 small green onion,
4 oz imitation crab,
3 oz cream cheese  

DIRECTIONS




Bake at 425 °F for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

VERDICT

I doubled the recipe and it still only made about 20 pieces.  I suppose that would be more than enough for most people, but I'm definitely doubling the recipe next time.  These are delicious!

And can you get any easier??  By the way, you can find wanton wrappers in the frozen section of the grocery store.  It took a while to figure that out.
