Once in a Blue Moon

We have all heard the saying, it "happens once in a blue moon."  Well tonight is your chance to experience a Blue Moon and just maybe, do something special.  Believe it or not, the term Blue Moon has nothing to do with the moon's color.  A Blue Moon is the second full moon of the month.  The next one will not happen until 2015!

Make tonight memorable and do something special (and healthy).   

-  Take a moonlight stroll with your family or friend to bask in the moonlight and enjoy the time you spend together

-  Add a little blue to your dinner:  blue cheese, blueberries, eggplant (blue-ish), blueberry smoothie, blueberry Greek or regular yogurt

-  Ride your bike by moonlight tonight

-  Have Dessert!  Get fresh or frozen blueberries, 1 tbs sugar, sugar free blue Jell-O, non-fat cool whip.  Add a few teaspoons of the dry Jell-O powder to the cool whip.  Heat the berries and sugar.  Serve with blue topping!

-  Walk a nature trail or around a pond at dusk to see the moon rise

-  Have blueberry chicken salad (scroll down for recipe)

-  Dance the night away at a Blues Club

- See if you can still snag some tickets to Blue Man Group tonight

-  Throw a coin in a wishing well and make a wish/promise for your future

-  Pack up your bike and take it downtown to bike the lake shore. It is quite beautiful at night.  Walking the lake shore is also worth the trip down there.
