Yummy, Easy, Hot Crab Dip




I needed to make a seafood appetizer for a little themed dinner, soooo I thought and I thought, and that obviously didn't work, so I googled and that always seems to work.... I am an amazing "googler" by the way. Like if there was a Google Olympics... I am confident to say I would win Gold. Confident!!!
ANYway.... I love Crab but don't make it often, so I thought this recipe to be fitting since I can buy the crab all lovely and ready from Trader Joes and most importantly it is EASY!!!! Y'all know how I LOVE easy. Next time you need a fab Appetizer make this... you will surely please the peeps. Oh and one last thing... I found this hysterical that it comes from Al Roker's cookbook???? Seriously?
