Mixed berry sparkling water

Blueberry breakfast bark
Charlotte-Mecklenburg (N.C.) School District
Blueberry Day at Charlotte-Mecklenburg was a celebration of the “little blue dynamos,” featured in a breakfast bark in sample cups created by the US Highbush Blueberry Council. The kids loved the breakfast (and the literary companion, the classic Caldecott Award-wining children’s book, Blueberries for Sal), so blueberry bark will become a part of Berry Week this month.

Boston College
