Crabby Melts


WHEW!! We are officially done with all things "school".  Graduation and our trip to Caldera Springs is behind us.  What an amazing time with 15 of the sweetest graduates EVER!  Now, our girlie is leaving for Kazakhstan and we will be getting Caleb ready for his trip to the Philippines.
Do you ever wake up feeling like a bit of a "free bird"... even if it is for a few minutes?
Anyhoo, hope all of you are well and are starting to look forward to the beautiful months of Summer. 

Crabby Melts


Ingredients:

1 8oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened

6 oz. can crab meat...{Bumble Bee fancy white crab meat}

1 small bunch of green onions, thinly sliced

1/2 of one red pepper, diced

2 cloves of garlic, minced 

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

{PUB BUNS}



Directions:

Mix all ingredients together and mix well.  It should be really creamy.  Toast Pub Buns before putting the mix on top to avoid soggy melts.

Place desired amount of crab mix on top of lightly toasted PUB BUNS and bake at 350* until crabby melts are bubbly and lightly browned...about 10 to 15 minutes.
Enjoy with fresh veggies, fruit and lemonade!

This and That:


Don't you wish peonies bloomed all year?

Happy almost Summer!!

    1. Diana...you are so welcome! Thank you for the sweet compliment...but trust me, I DO have grown children...and I just pulled my first WHITE hair. I guess we blondies might get away with calling it platinum. :} I think my hubby looked extra happy because we kept the party simple and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Love to YOU!

  3. Hi Lisa,
    Welcome home! What a whirlwind of wonderful events! So glad you had fun on your trip. Maybe you'll post a little about Your senior adventure?

    Caleb's graduation party looks like so much fun.
    I llove the ice cream bar with all the fun touches. I love the syrup squirt bottle idea.
    The cookie bars and muffins look delish. What kind of ice cream comes in those cute containers? Your family pictures are so great and you look so cute and 29ish I'm sure!
    Cute sandals! Relish getting your kiddos ready for their trips. We'll catch up soon. Paula R.

    1. Okay, little miss Paula. First of all...love you for the compliment, but makeup can do wonders...and so can a far away shot. Oh to be even semi 29 again. :} Also, had no idea the dress was so short, but Rissa bought it for me!!
      The ice cream is from Cash and Carry. I figured if it wasn't homemade, it had to be cute! The squirt bottles are from Cash and Carry, too. I use them for everything! Love you, my snazzy friend.
