Whole wheat and SALAD? Awesome. I can imagine how delicious that meal would've been. Thanks for sharing a similar crab cake recipe. I feel like an American food ignoramus but I've never actually eaten anything remotely New Orleans inspired. I will be trying this recipe on the weekend and serving up a breakfast just like this.
