    There are times when you make a recipe and immediately know it will become a dish that you’ll make all the time. You know, that dish that you can't stop thinking about even though you are already full! This Arepa with Crab Salad and Avocado is that type of dish for me.

    I love arepas, so it‘s not as if I need my arm twisted to make a recipe that includes them and this arepa recipe was perfect! The combination of crab and avocado was amazing.
