Cool down from the heat with this Blueberry Peach Sorbet recipe from Tutti Dolci. The
recipe requires only three steps and any old ice cream maker. Don’t
have one? Turn it into granita! Instead of chilling the mixture in the
fridge as directed, pour it into a freezer-safe container and freeze
until frozen in parts. Use a fork to mash the frozen parts, cover, and
freeze again until firm. Scrape granita one last time to form icy flakes
and serve.

Want an easy blueberry recipe? Like something so easy that it comes together in the blink of an eye? How about this Blueberry Maple Syrup by
Stephanie of Eat Life Whole? All you have to do is simmer blueberries
and maple syrup for about 3 minutes. Simple! Then just pour over waffles
or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Maybe both at the same time?

A festive breakfast for summer houseguests shouldn’t mean elaborate. I love this healthy
and delicious Lemon Blueberry Baked Oatmeal from Nicole at Prevention RD. Mix a bunch of ingredients, pour into a pan
and bake–perfect. The recipe calls for Meyer lemons, but any fresh
lemons will do.

Of course fresh, ripe blueberries also make for the perfect smoothie ingredient. That’s why I love this One-Minute Blueberry Citrus Shake that we recently featured in our roundup of must try fruit smoothie recipes.

I also can’t talk about blueberries without mentioning one of my favorite children’s books, Blueberries for Sal. I recently wrote a post about kids’ books about food
and suggested recipes to help bring them to life including a gorgeous
Blueberry and Corn Salad to help bring McCloskey’s story to life.
