    Here are some of my lovely easy recipes that are gorgeous and blue.  These tasty ideas will bring a pop of color to your meal or party. Whether you use fresh blueberries, food coloring, or colored sprinkles, the blue in these recipes is yummy and colorful.

My Marshmallow & Candy Popcorn Balls can also be made blue instead of orange for Halloween.
