*Johnna's tip: Entertaining season is here. From now until the end of the year, it will seem like you're constantly having some sort of get together or attending someones holiday something. Be prepared! This is a quick, easy dish to wow your guest with...for some reason some people really get excited when food is stuffed with crab meat (*We are one of those people...). Try serving as an appetizer for a fall gathering and pair with your favorite Chardonnay.
