blueberry pancakes

As summer comes to a close, my college-age daughter Abby recently visited home before heading back to school. Surprisingly, her request was simple yet heartwarming – she wanted to enjoy home-cooked meals that reminded her of summer. From tomato sandwiches to blueberry pancakes and grilled salmon salad, she craved the comfort of familiar flavors. So, we embarked on a journey to check off our Last-Gasp Summer Checklist, indulging in sliced tomato salads, corn on the cob, and s’mores.
