You've probably heard of chicken fingers, but have you ever heard of steak fingers?

Baked Crab Cakes (With Minimal Filler!) Recipe
I don’t know about you, but I get tired of chicken and beef pretty quickly. The problem is that, since I always default to those protein options, it can be hard to break out of the rut and think of something different to make. I end up doing something with shrimp or sausage, but I recently couldn’t get crab cakes out of my head. I used to make them all the time, but at some point, they must have fallen off my radar. | @HealthyDelish #bakedcrabcakes #healthycrabcakes #recipesforlent #lentrecipes
