Birthday Celebrations & More Focaccia Bread!

Happy Birthday, Chris!

Last week was Chris's birthday :) For dinner he requested that I make Maryland Crab Soup. Another new recipe to try out! I was a little nervous but I've done a fair amount of homemade soups in the past several months that I wasn't too nervous. I got some advice from my dad and checked out many different recipes, because apparently, MD crab soup is NOT really a "standard" recipe.

In addition to the soup, I decided to do true MD-style steamed shrimp with Old Bay and another batch of homemade bread.



I decided to change the recipe a little from the last time I made focaccia bread. Instead of using lots of Italian seasonings, I stuck with oregano, basil, and garlic powder. Then I sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese on top, instead of Parmesan cheese. It was a great pairing for the rest of the meal!


I'm gonna end with the bread for now, and I'll post the recipes I ended up using for the soup and shrimp a little later. Happy birthday to my best friend and my favorite cooking partner! :)
