Make your mornings a little less hectic with these overnight breakfast recipes. Prep the night before and enjoy a warm, comforting meal in the morning.

Craving something a little different for dinner? These brick-weighted sauteed soft shell crabs are crispy, buttery, and definitely a conversation starter among friends.
8 medium soft shell crabs
salt and pepper to taste
1 dash Old Bay Seasoning (optional)
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
Place crabs in bowl and cover with buttermilk. Soak for up to one hour, remove and pat dry.
Season flour with salt, pepper and seasoning and place on plate or in plastic bag. Lightly coat crabs with flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Melt butter over medium high heat in a pan or skillet large enough to hold the crabs in a single layer. Add crabs and immediately place a heavy weight such as a foil wrapped brick or heavy pan over them.
Cook for 3 minutes, remove weight and flip crabs. Cover with weight again and cook for 3 more minutes until crisp.
Serve immediately.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
