Awakenings from Then ’til Now allows you to Embrace Your Past, Empower the Present, Enrich Your Future.
Welcome to Awakenings
Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

A bit of cherry American history...
The United States has historically been the largest exporter of cherries worldwide. In the United States, most sweet cherries are grown in Washington,
California, Oregon, and Northern Michigan. Sweet cherry cultivars
include "Bing", "Brooks", "Tulare", "King" and "Rainier". In addition,
the Lambert variety is grown on the eastern side of Flathead Lake in
northwestern Montana. Both Oregon and Michigan provide light-colored
"Royal Ann" ('Napoleon'; alternately "Queen Anne") cherries for the
maraschino cherry process. Most sour (also called tart) cherries are
grown in Michigan, followed by Utah, New York, and Washington. Native
and non-native cherries grow well in Canada (Ontario and British
Columbia). Sour cherries include Nanking and Evans Cherry. Traverse
City, Michigan claims to be the "Cherry Capital of the World", hosting a
National Cherry Festival and making the world's largest cherry pie. Source: American as Cherry Cheesecake
We all know there is an art to baking a 'from scratch' cheesecake. It is not the easiest food task to accomplish and certainly known to be time consuming. So, for all the foodies who love the cheesecake but do not have, or simply do not want to take the time, try the no-bake cheesecake. Recipe included!
And, somebody created the Cherry Cheesecake in a jar (also no-bake)...
