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.

It's all in the icing!

Any day is okay for cake with the upcoming recipe too inviting not to share for enjoyment with friends and family any time. Look at it this way - cake is one thing, cake is good but cake cloaked in a caramel sauce is not just talking about cake any more! Add hazelnuts and ooh-la-la what a combination! Hazelnuts have a slightly bittersweet buttery flavor, a perfect accent for a totally delectable dessert.

National Hazelnut Cake Day

 A Bit of Hazelnut Trivia...
Worldwide there are over 100 varieties of hazelnuts with 70% coming from Turkey. In the United States, 99% of our hazelnuts are grown in the rich soil of Oregon's Williamette Valley. No imports needed here! Hazelnuts are rich in Vitamin E, protein and fiber. They are believed to be one of the highest natural sources of antioxidants. Bottom line: Eat more hazelnuts!
