I thought I would do something different for my Friday Feast post, so I hope you won’t mind. There is a lot of activity in my backyard. Sparrows have nested in two of my evergreen trees, and I can already hear the peeps of the newborns in one of the trees.

The hummingbirds visit daily, so I’m constantly making their food along with the recipe below.
