Welcome to Blue Crab Bay, Classic Coastal Cuisine since 1985

In 1984, a young woman named Pamela Barefoot had a dream — to move to Virginia’s isolated Eastern Shore and survive with her creativity. The rural coastal peninsula, bounded by the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, offered a blank canvas for entrepreneurial opportunity, inspiring Pam to start her own business now known as Blue Crab Bay Co., a Bay Beyond Inc. brand and a Virginia certified women’s small business.

Recipe of the Month: Spiced Almond Cookies

Ingredients

Directions

1 c. unsalted butter
½ c. white sugar
1 tsp. almond extract
2 tsp. Blue Crab Bay Co.® Chesapeake Bay Seasoning
2 c. all-purpose flour, unsifted
36 or so Blue Crab Bay Co.® Dune Buggies® Almonds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Soften butter in the microwave, then add sugar and mix until creamy. Stir in the almond extract and seasoning. Gradually mix in the flour until all ingredients are well-blended. Use a tablespoon to scoop out the dough, and form it into a ball. Place the balls of dough on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart and flatten slightly. Bake for about 12 minutes; cookies will be light in color. Remove from oven, and gently press an almond into the center of each cookie while they are still soft. Carefully remove the cookies with a spatula onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before serving. Yield: about 3 dozen.
