Father's Day Grub

We had a great Father's Day yesterday.
I made The Hubs a delish breakfast of his faves; pancakes, hotlinks, breakfast potatoes, eggs and orange slices (you know- to balance it all out)


After some house work and a little grocery shopping, we came home to prepare for a great dinner and company.


On the menu amoung other goodies, was Shrimp Etouffee. A Creole dish, somewhat like gumbo but with a tomato base. The Hubs follows Emeril Lagasse's Recipe, but adds sausage and chicken to his. Served over a bed of rice - YUM!!


Since, The Hubs had dinner taken care of, I decided to bake a cake.


Fresh Pear Cake.
I made it for the first time last year with fresh pears from my MIL's pear tree and The Hubs really liked it, so I thought it'd be the perfect sweet treat after dinner.


It was just as good as the first time around and luckily just about all of it got eaten.

Happy Father's Day to all the great Fathers out there!!!
