CRAB SANDWICHES
My mom made these when I was a little girl, and I've always loved them. Mom always served them for dinner, but they would also be great for a brunch, or lunch. Now that I'm an adult, this was one of the recipes that was important for me to get and keep for the generations to come. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to add hot sauce or red pepper if you prefer a kick in your sandwich.

CRAB CAKE SANDWICHES
"While it's in the oven, I prepare Crab Cake Sandwiches." Yvonne continues. She originally created the golden cakes to use up some leftover crab, but you can make them anytime by simply using convenient canned crab. "Alan loves them," she notes.
