Crab Stuff

That is seriously the name of this recipe. On the sheet I have printed off it says, "A yummy, healthy delight. Multiply ingredients for number of servings desired." I multiplied it by 4 so we could all have it for dinner. Since there is no picture (I am finding it more difficult to take pictures of my food now that I have a yelling 2 year old and a crying 2 month old while I prepare, and serve my meals) I will paint a picture for you. Imagine a thick milky sauce infused with butter and spotted with chunks of crab and peppers served over a warm fluffy bed of rice and peas. Does that make it sound more palatable?

I didn't have very high expectations for it to begin with so I wasn't too disappointed when I ate it. Big Chubb was just happy to eat some crab, and yes, I used imitation. We can't afford real crabmeat. I am pretty sure Mom would have used imitation crab, too.
