Got Those Summertime Blues???

Blueberries, that is!!
Nothing says Summer quite like them.
They are great on everything. Ice Cream, Pie, in Greek Yogurt, on top of your cereal, even in green salads... with a few Nuts!
Here's a recipe to try out. It's in the oven right now...
One lesson to learn though is to read the directions at least 24 hour in advance.
