Cheesy Crab Rounds

I posted these recipes on Eighty MPH Mom a couple of weeks ago, but they are just so good, I wanted to make sure everyone here had a chance to see them too - enjoy!
My husband, daughter and I went to a crab feed put on by his department a couple of weeks ago.  They actually had too much crab (if you can believe that), so lucky us - we got to bring home a huge aluminum pan full of dungeoness crab (the best in my opinion!) For the next couple of days, I made dishes using the crab meat, and I thought I would share them with you! Saturday night, I made these yummy Crab Rounds that my mom used to make.
Sunday night, we had Crab Louie with homemade Louie sauce!  This is my husband's favorite, and he was just beside himself with delight.  Here is the recipe for the Louie Sauce:

1 cup Mayonnaise

1/4 cup cream or milk

1/4 cup chili sauce

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup green onion

2 tsp lemon juice

The Crab feed was a blast - there was a raffle, lots of wine and good people that I hadn't seen in a long time.  Did I mention wine?  Oh yes, I certainly did.  Ummm don't drink and post on Facebook...the two don't mix!

Fall Festival - Panko Breaded Pork Medallions Recipe!!

Today I wanted to share with you a yummy recipe that I have tried, from the "Make Ahead Meals for Mom" cookbook that I will be giving away during the Fall Festival!

PANKO BREADED PORK MEDALLIONS:

A crispy, baked dish the whole family will enjoy!

2 pork tenderloins (1 lb. each)
3 - 4 Tablespoons garlic and herb spreadable cheese
2 cups Italian Style panko crispy bread crumbs

~ A Day Ahead~

Spray a large sheet pan with nonstick spray; set aside. Rinse the port under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place one pork tenderloin on a large cutting board. Cut 1-inch slice medallions; set aside on a paper towel. Slice the second pork tenderloin in the same manner. Lay all of the port out on a paper towel, over with plastic wrap, and pound each piece with a kitchen mallet until all pieces are 1/4-inch thin. Using a butter knife, spread a very light coating of the spreadable cheese on each side of the medallions. Roll each slice in the bread crumbs. Place them on the sheet pan. Cover well with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

~ Cooking Directions~

Take the port out of the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Uncover the pork, spray the tops of the pork with nonstick spray and bake for 30 minutes. Serves 6-7 people (makes about 14 medallions).
