Crab Crescents

Healthy Fact of the Day

These crescents feature protein-rich crab meat, which is low in calories and high in omega-3 fatty acids. To make healthier, use reduced-fat cream cheese and light mayonnaise. The bell peppers add vitamin C and antioxidants. Consider using whole grain crescent dough if available. Fresh herbs provide nutrients without calories. While indulgent, the protein content makes these more satisfying than many appetizers. For a lighter version, serve the filling in lettuce cups instead of crescents. The combination of protein and vegetables creates a more balanced bite.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
