Blueberries - Monday Munchies

Here it comes!!!  Glorious Blueberry season is already upon us in some areas of the country and just the around the corner in others.  Let's step outside the box of blueberry muffins and cobbler for a moment, shall we?

Marisa from Slashfoods has a bevy of ideas for how to use up all those little balls of blue goodness.  I am especially excited to try the Blueberry Vodka that a devoted reader posted in the comments!

This Strawberry and Blueberry Parfait from recipetips.com is a great way to use those extra berries you had to throw in the freezer. The bonus?  You can use up your strawberries as well!

French Toast Skewers with Blueberry Sauce from yumsugar...OMG!

This Blueberry Lime Granita from Southern Living looks perfect for a hot summer night.

These Blueberry Glazed Ribs by Food & Wine look finger linkin' good.

If you love venison as much as my family does, you'll be as excited as I am to try this Venison with Juniper, Blueberries and Thyme recipe from Morsels & Musings.

However you come by your blueberries, I'll encourage you to shop local or - even better - pick them fresh from the plant.  Happy hunting!!!
