For Mother’s Day, my husband Tim took over in the kitchen and made me a special breakfast…so sweet! And he did something that I’ve never done: made pancakes from scratch.
But these were no ordinary pancakes. No, these were taken to a whole new level thanks to yummy blueberries mixed into the batter and a cheesecake-like topping. He really knocked it out of the park with this one! I just might have to get him to cook more often. Thank you, Tim for an incredible Mother’s Day!
