All these words I am not able to pronounce sure are good for me! For such a small little berry, they sure pack a hell of a punch! In fact, these berries boast the strongest health benefits over any other berry.

One of my fondest memories was when I was a kid and the family went camping during blueberry season. We'd pick wild blueberries and Mom would make the most awesome blueberry pancakes cooked over an old Coleman stove. I tell you what though-I would LOVE to wait up to the smell of our blueberry muffins. I beat they are deelicious!

ReplyDelete@MJ - Wow! I'm going to be looking for a camping site with fresh blueberries for sure! We did stay somewhere last year that had mulberries. I wonder how they would be in pancakes? Never hurts to try! That sounds like an awesome memory!
