This looks awesome! Thank You!

The recipe sure sounds good.

I could be mistaken, (and of course, I don't have my books at home with me), but I thought imitation crab was not Core. Anyone know for sure?

Thanks,
Diane

Since I'm considering a switch I was delighted to find imitation crab and lobster in the Complete Food companion all marked as Core. I can't remember where I read it wasn't but it's right there in black and white. :D

Diane, you had me worried there for a minute. I have been eating this as Core but never looked it up since my leader gave it out just the other day. Shame on me...I know better than not to double check everything!!! Here is the information....

Page 162 in the Complete Food Companion has all the Louis Kemp Crab Delights marked as Core. Also, on Page 234 all the Louis Kemp Imitation Lobster is marked as Core.

YAY!! :crazy: :)

Whew!! That's happy news. Thanks for letting me know. (I may just need to buy a second Food Companion. When I keep it at work, I need it at home and vice-versa.)

I am definitely trying this recipe!!

I pulled this redipe last week and made it on Saturday. It is so delicious!! I had to make one little change because I didn't have one of the ingredients. I substitited FF Ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese. The consistency was great!! I will most likely continue to make it that way. :bcb_LOL:

what about the canned crab meat? Would that work as well? Anyone have a recipe for crabmeat stuffed mushrooms? Im wanting to make that for a New Years EVe snack!
