Colby Jack Crab and Crawfish Pasta  }
Do you remember when I went to Disney back in March and yapped about the amazing reception that Disney had for us at The Grand Floridian and Spa? That welcome reception even had a Macaroni and Cheese bar. Yes. And Mac and Cheese Bar. You pretty much got to pick any toppings that you wanted. Luckily for me, Katie was in front of me and she ordered  Mac & Cheese with lobster, panko bread crumbs, and green peas. Without hesitating I said, “I’ll have the same” and it was over from there. I’m pretty sure I thought about this lobster mac and cheese everyday for the past 2 weeks. 
So last weekend while trying to figure out what we would be having for Easter dinner, I was throwing some ideas around and I again thought of the Lobster Mac and Cheese. I called BigBear and asked him to pick up some lobster meat on his way home from work. He called back about an hour later and said he couldn’t find any. NO LOBSTER MEAT. It’s like our city went on lobster strike! Seriously?!? None? Nope None.

I was extremely sad, until our lovely friends Corey and Jordan happened to call him at the same time (or he called them, whatever) and Jordan suggested the SeaFood Market…. wait…we have a seafood market? HAHA. So BigBear went there in search of lobster meat (such a good hubby) and in realizing that the lobster was there was a ton of money *mini freakout*, he opted for crawfish meat. Since it’s a pasta dish where the meat is cut up anyways, it wasn’t a huge deal. 

So I ended up with Crab and Crawfish meat, which in turn landed me with this Colby Jack Crab and Crawfish Pasta. A seafood packed, cheesy side dish. Or maindish….whichever.
