Cornmeal Berry Snack Cake

This snack cake could not be easier to whip up, no mixer needed. Sort of like a sweet cornbread – half bread, half cake -buttery, soft and studded with raspberries and blueberries. You can prep the batter in the time it takes the oven to preheat. We love this for breakfast or brunch, but it makes a great snack mid-day, too. Get the recipe for Cornmeal Berry Snack Cake.

Eat-The-Rainbow Slaw

Our Eat-The-Rainbow Slaw combines yellow squash, orange carrot, red pepper, purple cabbage, blueberries and green cabbage and kale.

Serve with Poppy Seed Dressing. Get the recipe for Eat-The-Rainbow Slaw.

Fresh Blueberry Pie

What is Fresh Blueberry Pie? A pie that is so blueberry-y that it is practically incomprehensible.

Few foods are more fun or tastier than our Vegan Red, White & Blue Popsicles – low FODMAP, too – and they are easy to make at home.

These pops are sweet, but not-too-sweet, and happen to be vegan! Get the recipe for Vegan Red, White And Blue Popsicles.

Fourth of July Flag Slab Pie

This statuesque dessert is best for a fancy party. Discs of crisp meringue are layered with a variety of fruit and softly whip cream.

Maple Balsamic Chicken With Blueberries

People will ask for this recipe – and you won’t believe how easy it is. Start with juicy chicken thighs. The sauce is made from blueberries (fresh or frozen, so you can make it year-round), maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and sage. Made on a sheet pan in the oven! Get the recipe for this.

Peach Blueberry Crostata

Blueberries and peaches go beautifully together and here they are nestled in a slightly sweet cristata crust. Easier to make them a pie or a formal tart, you simply roll out a disc of pastry dough and fold the edges up over the fresh fruit. Get the recipe for Peach Blueberry Crostata.

Red, White & Blue Trifle

We created this trifle for the Fourth of July, but it would be welcomed at any party. The cake component is angel food cake, which by its very nature is quite sweet. We have added a little bit of plain yogurt to the whipped cream, to temper the overall sweetness. Then a strawberry compote, and a blueberry compote, are each made, and everything is layered together in a trifle bowl. A great do-ahead recipe. Get the recipe for Red, White & Blue Trifle.
