The day was filled with sunshine, rest, coffee (lots of it!), a Food Network marathon, and-best of all- a tag team effort in the kitchen to create one of the tastiest meals that our home has ever produced.
Amanda and I prepared krispy baked chicken, green been casserole, scalloped potatoes, and to top it off I baked a hummingbird bundt cake!
Here are some photos from the evening:

PS Hummingbird cake is Amanda's favorite, but it is quite an intensive cake to bake. So, I was very excited when I saw the feature in this month's Southern Living for a "simplified" hummingbird bundt cake. It turned out quite tasty, but let me say, the texture was quite different. Slightly crunchy on the outside and dense on the inside. My sister-in-law commented that it would be the perfect breakfast treat. And, I may or may not have tested that hypothesis...she was correct. :)
