Crab and Swiss omelet

So, I had some leftover crab from last' night when I made the crab rangoon crisps. Oh what to do with it (not enough for crab cakes). So I made a crab, swiss cheese & green onion omelet topped with avocado & tomato. Served with potato & zucchini home fries and plum/nectarine/grapes.

Seared tuna and shrimp

Seared tuna steak, rare of course (with black & white sesame seeds and teriyaki) and a few shrimp over some shirataki noodles that I added to stir fried cabbage & broccoli slaw. Served with stir fried zucchini/onions/peppers and crab rangoon crisps. I made the crisps by dividing an eggroll wrapper by 4, brushing with just a little olive oil and baked in muffin tins for about 10 min. Filling is simply crab, green onion & goat cream cheese. I was very happy with the results!
