I continue to discover that there are many ways to utilize a bunch of cherries. Eating a cherry pie Is always wonderful. I want to eat a mixture of cherries with antioxidant fruits like acai,mangasteen,blueberries,goji berries,and others. I like to decorate a vegan cake with black cherries by designing a happy face for a healthier life.

Cherry pie is great, but my favorite way is to wash and sit and eat fresh cherries.

Before this year I never bought fresh cherries. Now I'm hooked - they have become my favorite late night snack.

I would really love to win this for my husband. He has gout and cherries really help to reduce the length and severity of flare ups.

I will never turn down a good cherry pie. I especially love the "vegan" version of the cherry pie carried at Whole Foods. that is my go to snack when I want to eat bad, but knowing that I'm actually not eating poorly is an added bonus!

I love making a cherry balsamic sauce for my spicy chocolate crusted pork tenderloin. It is soooo good!! My daughter will eat fresh cherries until her fingers are dyed purple though!!

I absolutely love fresh cherries. When I was pregnant with my son I ate them a lot. Now that my son is 4, he loves them as well. Now I just need to figure out how to keep him from spitting out the seeds in the style Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. :)

I love just enjoying fresh cherries right out of the bag after a quick rinse. Spitting the seeds like when we were kids. lol But I also enjoy making a fresh cherry strudel with some sweet cheese. It's yummy and easy/quick to make.

Cherries right off the tree have to be the best! But short of that any other cherries are sure to make me smile :-)
