Since our camera just came in I'll probably have several posts over the next few days to catch up. I'll start with dinner from last night. We had steak, crab cake stuffed potatoes, green beans, rolls with some yummy garlic & herb butter spread & a delicious dessert!
Since we've moved to MD and I've tried it a few times, I've kind of become obsessed with crab. Blue crabs around the Chesapeake are kind of like chowder in Boston. I found the recipe from another knottie, thanks Malea! She has some amazing looking recipes & I'll be trying some more!

I added little salad shrimp...probably about 1/4 cup & they were really good in it. I would probably add a little more & reduce the spicy mustard to 1T if I made it again.
Garlic & Herb Butter Spread
3 cloves garlic-minced
4T butter-room temp
3T herbs
Mix it all up & enjoy! I just used fresh herbs from our little garden. I used Basil, Thyme (my fave!), Oregano & Rosemary. I added a little dry Parsley & it was perfect!
