Am I Blue?

Sure ya are if you are eating blueberries! They turn the tongue and lips an awesome color. Speaking of which, the next time that Halloween rolls around and you're seeking to look frightening, grab a container of these babies and you'll have the situation totally covered.

They also do a nice stain job on the choppers.

The added perks are many. They are super healthy and frankly, they simply taste dog-gone great.

Even when they aren't in season and fresh isn't available, the freezer of most markets have them in stock in the frozen section. Our freezer is rarely without wild blueberries as my husband has a fondness for them and enjoys them with his morning whole grain cereal and milk.

They also make wonderful snacks, even when frozen. They can be thawed and enjoyed - or consumed in their frozen state. This is a wonderful way to enjoy them amid a hot summer day.
