My family moved to Missouri when I was 9, and some of my favorite childhood memories are heading to the nearest “U-Pick” farm, spending hours out in the blueberry fields filling our baskets, and leaving with even fuller bellies from all the snacking we did along the way. These days I do most of my berry shopping at the grocery store, but I’m already looking forward to when Phoebe’s old enough for us to head out to a berry farm and spend the day. There’s just something about picking them yourself that makes berries taste even better! In honor of blueberries being peak-of-season right now, we rounded up our 10 favorite ways to use them. Click through for lots of summery inspiration, and leave a comment sharing any must-have berry recipes you love to cook up when the season strikes!

    I remember when the very best treat I could imagine was the can of blueberries my grandmother would buy for me when I went to the grocery store with her on Saturday morning. These days I treat myself to fresh blueberries the minute they hit the market, and I can’t wait to make the blueberry lemon fizz and the blueberry banana smoothie. Thanks for some lovely new ways to enjoy my favorite berry.

    I’ve been buying blueberries from my farmers market for the past couple of weeks and though they’re delicious as is, I’ve been searching for recipes that incorporate them. Those blueberry pancakes look like a great way to start the morning – thank you for sharing!
