I remember the day my daughter first came home from the hospital, there were so many emotions flooding my heart all at once! I was so happy to finally meet this little person and have her in our lives, but so scared that I was now in charge of this tiny person and didn’t really know what I was doing. I think most parent’s feel that way!

Having our first baby was such a crazy emotional experience! And once we got home, everything really sank in: this little person changes your life forever, but in a really amazing way. Parenting can be such a challenge, but it is so rewarding. Raising little people to be responsible adults takes so many years of hard work, but that dedication and commitment pays off.

Becoming a mom has made me appreciate my own mother so much more! As kids, we often took for granted the many sacrifices our parents made for us. But once I became a mom and made those sacrifices myself, I could see how much my parents and my mother really loved us.

There’s no need for maple syrup on these pancakes: I used the Bonne Maman wild blueberry preserves to top these pancakes and the flavors blend perfectly! Fresh basil has an almost fruity essence to it, so it pairs perfectly with the bold taste of wild blueberries and the light lemon zest in the cakes. It’s the perfect flavor blend!

  2. These look so delicious! Love savory pancakes. I’ve made corn and basil cakes using fresh corn, but love the idea of using cornmeal! What a lovely Mother’s Day breakfast!

    • I love having leftover corn bread for breakfast sometimes, so making pancakes with cornmeal sounded pretty good! The basil and the blueberries really complement each other in this recipe
