I woke up bright and early on Sunday morning to cook my mom's breakfast. She was in the mood for blueberry pancakes, so I happily obliged! She absolutely loved them!
After breakfast, we ventured to a nearby nursery to check out the gorgeous spring flowers for sale. My mom loves gardens and flowers so this was right up her ally! We walked through some stunning displays full of colorful flowers and plants. And don't get me started on the smells! It was like walking through a perfume store!!

Following the nursery, we went home so I could cook a yummy dinner! My mother and I both love scallops but rarely get the chance to eat them, so we decided Mother's Day would be a great time to try cooking them! I made a scallop scampi with spinach fettucine, fresh salad and olive oil bread on the side. The meal was delicious and the light sauce really showcased the scallops well.
For desert, my mom requested banana pudding and I got so excited. I had been craving banana pudding for the past few weeks and was more than happy to make it for her. The recipe was SO easy, too!
I made a box of Jell-O Vanilla Pudding let it rest for 5 minutes to harden. Meanwhile, I sliced up 3 bananas and counted out 30 Nilla wafers. I put a layer of 15 wafers on the bottom of the dish, then added half of the pudding, next came the bananas, and then the rest of the wafers, pudding, and bananas. I topped the whole thing with whipped cream and let it sit in the fridge all day. I recommend letting it rest for a few hours because the banana flavor will seep into the pudding and it is utterly delicious!!
