Fresh Blueberry Pancakes with Blueberry Basil Sauce

I pretend to know what's in season when I'm at the farmers market.  I fake it until I make it at least. So far I've come to the conclusion that whatever is on sale is in season because they have the most of it to sell.  Lately, blueberries have not only been sweet, but on sale! Usually they don't last long in my possession but this past weekend I saved some blueberries for blueberry pancakes and taking a nod from my favorite blueberry basil lemonade du jour I made a zippy sauce to go with them (and the leftovers are delicious over greek yogurt by the way).

SweetGreen's Blueberry Basil Lemonade

A few weeks ago I spent some time in DC for work.  At the recommendations of my coworkers I tried & became obsessed with SweetGreen, a fabulously fresh local salad joint. Besides their super fresh salad toss-ins that are locally sourced and prepared by (maybe) angels themselves, they also have this ridiculous blueberry basil lemonade.  Yes it is as good as it sounds.  I was really missing it when I got back home so I did what every good food blogger does, I googled it.  I didn't look long since SweetGreen actually gives you the recipe on their blog! (read: I officially love SweetGreen more.)  In honor of their awesomeness and a scorching heatwave I made a batch myself & loved every sip.



PS: SweetGreen is slated for the streets of NYC so be on the look out (or I'll just tell you when it hits!).
