My family absolutely loves the beach. Seriously, we cannot get enough of it. That being said, one food that reminds me of that cool ocean breeze and beach-town air is crab cakes. They're small, easy to make, and delicious to top it all off. Now, when we decided to join the WFPB community, we wanted to see if there was a way we could create delicious plant-based crab cakes. And, we did just that. These "crab" cakes are both authentic in taste and delectable. Go and give it a try! Serve it up with your favorite summertime drink to give yourself the vacation vibe you may be looking for.
