Lauren Adler Dear, a very soon to be RD, provided this post for you.  Enjoy! Summer is the perfect time to get your grill on and try out some new recipes.

It’s blueberry season.  This makes me happy.  Love bluebz.  Do you? Here’s some blueberries from one of my favorite places on earth, Tangerini’s farm.

I found a recipe on my Bob’s Red Mill package of chia seeds for blueberry jam that interested me! So…I made some! I had some frozen wild blueberries on hand so I just used about a cup of them.  Of course, I tweaked the recipe a bit!  Added some maple syrup instead of agave nectar. […]
