Blueberries are in season! These delectable little berries are healthy, full of antioxidants, and can be used to top off many of your favorite summertime desserts.

Selecting the perfect blueberry:

*When picking blueberries, make sure they're firm, plump and deep purple in color.

*Avoid blueberries that are dull in color, soft and leaking juice.

Blueberry facts:

*The blueberry is the second most popular berry in the U.S. (strawberries are first)

*One cup of blueberries provides us with almost 1/3 of the daily recommended Vitamin C.

*Blueberries contain more antioxidants than any other fruit or vegetable which some say, are beneficial in preventing aging, cancer and heart disease.

*North America accounts for 90% of all blueberry production.

This Memorial Day, show off your patriotism with a red, white and blue(berry) dessert.

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh organic blueberries
2-3 ounce boxes of raspberry gelatin
1 envelope plain gelatin
1 cup half and half
1 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract
8 ounces of cream cheese
2 cups boiling hot water
1 cup cold water

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, pour in one box of raspberry gelatin and one cup boiling water. Once the gelatin is dissolved, add one cup of cold water and let chill. In a separate bowl, pour in plain gelatin and ½ cup cold water. In a large saucepan, heat half and half with sugar over medium heat, and stir. Once the sugar dissolves, add plain gelatin, vanilla, and cream cheese, and blend together. Spoon over the raspberry gelatin mixture and refrigerate. While the mixture is chilling, combine the second box of raspberry gelatin with 1 cup boiling water and fresh blueberries. Let cool and spoon over the second layer. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Top it off with whipped cream before serving to your guests.

What's my favorite part of any meal? Dessert! Chocolate chip cookies, cheesecake, cupcakes-I don't discriminate-I love them all. AmazonFresh feeds my sweet tooth by delivering fresh baked treats such as Always Room for Dessert cupcakes and cookies right to my doorstep. These are baked in a small, local bakery by a woman named Melissa Karpen, who is just like her products-amazing.

Melissa has two part time employees, but for the most part acts as a one woman show in her Totem Lake facility. She applies real ingredients combined with family bake tips and a passion for baking into each batch of fresh baked cookies and deliciously frosted cake. Melissa comments, "After tasting many mediocre and not-so-great baked goods at local coffee shops, I saw a need for locally baked goods that use real ingredients: real butter, eggs, sugar -- all the things that make your favorite desserts so yummy."

As a teenager, Melissa began baking alongside her mother and two aunts. "I watched them and listened to them at family gatherings, and still come back to some of those early recipes they taught me." Becoming a baker was a dream that turned into a reality two years ago.

Along with the classic chocolate chip cookie and vanilla cupcake, Always Room for Dessert offers a unique variety of flavors such as coconut, red velvet and espresso flavored cupcakes. Our top seller (Melissa's personal favorite) is the Coconut Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting.

So as you browse the aisles and fill your cart with items for breakfast, lunch, and dinner-remember that there's Always Room for Dessert!

Dave's Killer Bread is a local product baked with organic ingredients and whole grains. While consumers crave the healthy, fresh baked taste--they're also drawn to the man behind the bread.

James Dahl, Dave's father and founder of NatureBake, believed in baking healthy bread the old fashioned way. As a child, Dave looked up to his father and couldn't wait to be old enough to join him, his mother and older brother in the kitchen of their family business.

Unfortunately, while struggling with his identity as a teenager, Dave fell into a life of crime that swayed him from following in his father's footsteps. After hitting rock bottom in prison, Dave decided to be proactive in turning his life around.

He began researching new bread techniques and concepts, forwarding them to his brother, Glen, who had taken over the family bakery after their father passed away. Dave was ready to carry on his father's legacy alongside his brother and nephew, and spent his first two years out of prison putting his research and creativity into the business. According to Dave, "Once I began to prove myself and my ideas, other people started coming on board".

Today Dave's breads are nutritious, tasty, and represent a positive change in technique and life. The number one best seller is Dave's Good Seed Bread, which is certified organic and packed with fiber, Omega 3's, and whole grains. You can find this as well as other Dave's Killer Breads right here on AmazonFresh!

Have you ever wondered why you can't order fresh artisan bread for pre-dawn delivery? Vendor delivery times clashed with our pre-dawn service hours creating a hurdle for us to offer fresh baked bread to our pre-dawn customers. Because we could not guarantee that the artisan bread received by our pre-dawn customers would be high quality and fresh, we took away their option to purchase it.

I'm excited to announce that Essential Baking Company has alleviated this issue by offering a more flexible delivery schedule that allows us to deliver fresh baked bread to our pre-dawn customers. Essential Baking Company's hand-crafted artisan breads are baked with the finest organic ingredients and can now be delivered to your doorstep morning, noon, or night!

Whether it's dipped in my soup, soaking up pasta sauce, or smeared with a light coat of butter--fresh artisan bread is a must have with my dinner. My favorite is the Essential Baking Company Fremont Sour White Loaf. This is one of Essential Baking's most popular loaves, as well as a key ingredient to my family's ritual Monday night pasta dinners. We can eat a lot of bread! But on those rare nights that we have leftover bread, we want to keep it as crispy and fresh as the first night we enjoyed it. Artisan breads are made with less preservatives and more natural ingredients than packaged commercial breads, which can allow them to go stale more quickly. Below are some helpful tips I've found that help fresh bread live another day--or 90!

Bread box: Fresh bread should be stored tightly closed within its original packaging at room temperature--preferably inside a bread box. Bread boxes maintain good air circulation and prevent high moisture levels which can cause bread to mold.

Refresh it in the oven: Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly sprinkle water over the loaf of bread, wrap it in foil, and place in the oven for 10-15 minutes.

Freeze it: If trying to preserve artisan bread, it's better to freeze it than to refrigerate it. While refrigeration slows down mold growth, it also causes bread to go stale more quickly. To freeze bread, wrap the loaf in foil or freezer bags (for up three months). When ready to eat, thaw bread at room temperature for 2-3 hours then place in the oven either on a cookie sheet or straight on the rack (unwrapped) at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. If you're in a rush and don't have time to let your bread thaw, the more speedy alternative is to wrap the load in foil and place it directly in the oven for about 20-35 minutes.
