My son has an intense love for blueberries. For real, his favourite three foods are pizza, “cheeseboogers” (we’re working on the pronunciation) and blueberries. He can easily eat a whole container to himself in one sitting (how this doesn’t give him the shits, I’ll never know). So whenever I decide to use blueberries as the star component of a recipe my son is pumped. Fun fact: Canada’s Blueberry Capital is only a short drive from my hometown. How are these titles decided, by the way? Does anyone know? Anyway, blueberries grow in the wild here late July through August and while these berries were store bought, I’ll be sure to make this delicious recipe again once the U-Picks becoming available. Also, I tried something new with my photos and went for “dark and moody”. Not sure I’m feeling it. Let me know what you think in the comments box below!
