Save the Bl’oo’berries

We all love a good handful of blueberries. Not only are they delicious but are known to have many health benefits like promoting brain function, improving the immune system and sight!

But what if our beloved Bl’oo’bs are tucked behind something in the fridge, and they become a little wrinkly? Fear not! Why not make delicious blueberry pancakes for the family, it’s a sure winner. 

What do you do with your sad blueberries?
