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.

If it's covered in chocolate, it has to be good!

What is your favorite nut...and I don't mean comedian? There have been many opportunities throughout the year to celebrate different kinds of nuts from the actual nut itself to various nutty recipes to those smothered, covered or dipped in chocolate. The nut for this next celebration had you Feelin' Nutty back in November making the statement "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't" followed by the question "...but when do you NOT feel like a cashew?"

The 'birth' of the cashew nut is quite fascinating...


Just saying the word makes you want to pull a handful out of a can or bag and chomp, chomp, chomp away! Then, to completely cover them in chocolate is absolutely sinful! But, let's do it!

April 21 is...

Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day
The only criteria is that the cashews have to be covered in chocolate...candy, cake, pie, whatever you desire!

It's so easy to go to the store and buy a bag, can or box of chocolate-covered cashews. However, you may just be one of those DIY kind of persons so here ya' go with some different ideas to help you celebrate. Break out your chocolate blankets and get ready to cover up some cashews!
