Recipe: Cucumber Cups Stuffed with Spicy Crab

Spicy Crab Cucumber CupsRecently I attended a Ladies Night Out pARTy as a guest of hostess and artist Tracey J. Marshall. Our session was “Poppies Galore,” Acrylic and charcoal, with a watercolor feel. Sounds fun right?

All I needed to to was bring something to eat, something to drink and my creative spirit! And for those of you who know me, know that I LOVE to paint, but never make the time to unless it is a birthday, holiday or for my own home.  When Tracey invited me I simply could not resist!

Thankfully I remembered my DIY Food board at Pinterest and was easily inspired by these Cucumber Cups Stuffed with Spicy Crab by Domestic Fits. Now mine are no where near as pretty – but they are *definitely spicy.

I changed the original recipe to suit my taste and I recommend you do the same. If you don’t like HOT – reduce the amount I have listed by half.

 

Time :

Start to finish about an hour

 

What you will need :

4 seedless cucumbers

1/2 cup sour cream

1 8oz. package of cream cheese, softened

1 cup crab meat, patted dry and diced (Vegetarian substitution : tofu)

2 tsp hot pepper sauce (I used my Hawthorne Hotel Hotsauce)

2 tsp yellow mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp Savory Spice Shop Herbes de Provence

1/4 cup minced green onion (save green tips as garnish)

 

Directions :

Peel cucumbers and cut off ends

Cut cucumbers into 8 sections (6 depending on size) making sure to average 3/4″ sections

With a melon baller, carefully scoop out center, making sure NOT to puncture bottom

Set cucumber “cups” aside on a large serving dish

Mix remainder ingredients thoroughly with a wire potato masher

Spoon mixture into cucumber “cups”

Garnish with paprika and chives

Serve with chilled Prosecco

My dear @thebrandonpierce found it at the local #HabitatReStore and it’s a near match for a desk he inherited that once belonged to his great grandfather. 

I have BIG plans for this beauty!

It will become home to my new @singersewingcompany heavy duty sewing machine and all of my sewing notions. 

This means I can *finally* begin sewing curtains, cushions, and tackle a few other upholstery/restoration projects. 🤗

This #Iris is one of many transplant successes … I moved it a few years ago and it is nearly waist high! 

Is our #CottageGarden picture perfect? No. 

But slowly, with patience and hard work, it’s more lush and colorful… I dare say it’s well on its way to resembling #BeatrixPotter’s beloved garden. 

Now, about those children’s books I’ve been meaning to write and illustrate…🤔

I didn’t share this #watercolorpainting before because I thought it was mediocre at best. I still feel that way - but that’s okay. 

#WatercolorPractice never makes perfect…it makes improvement. 

I’ll probably paint another portrait of him this year to see if I’ve improved my fabric, skin, and hair painting skills. 

I’m thinking maybe the next painting will be a still from his 1968 One Night With You special...or of him in uniform from WWII. 🤔

Do you have a favorite memorable photo/video of #Elvis?

The first #watercolor #painting (on the left) I finished last year. Good, but a bit dull. 

After receiving all of my new #artsupplies this month (thank you @thebrandonpierce 😘) I *HAD* to paint it again… isn’t she a beauty?! (on the right)

I’m slowly working to improve mixing skin tones, painting eyes that have a bit more depth, and a fabric that doesn’t look splotchy…

This #watercolorpractice is inspired by the February 1927 #PictoralReview #CoverArt by  #illustrationArtist #EarlChristy.
