<\/img><\/div><\/div><\/p>\nEvery Wednesday afternoon, my mom, my girls and I get in the car and head down to our local farmer\u2019s market. It\u2019s something we look forward to every week. We have fun choosing from all the great produce the local farmers have to offer, and we have an even better time deciding what to do with it all!<\/p>\n
A few weeks ago, while scanning the summer squash section at one of the market tables, I came across some nice looking zucchini. Now, I have to admit, I don\u2019t normally go crazy over zucchini, but this particular bunch was so green and fresh, I had to grab a few. As I was paying, one of the girls from the farm asked me if I had ever made Poor Man\u2019s Crab Cakes. I admitted I had never heard of them before. She told me to google it, so I did. \u00a0I was so intrigued by the description of these zucchini \u201ccrab\u201d cakes that I started grating the zucchini and created a recipe for them that same afternoon.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a fan of crab cakes, I have to warn you: you\u2019ll love this zucchini version. \u00a0Made with greek yogurt, crushed crackers, and plenty of Old Bay, even crab cake lovers will want to dip these \u201ccrab\u201d cakes in some tartar sauce!<\/p>\n
