Do you love cherries and are smitten with Cherries Jubilee? Did you know it was a special dessert for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee celebration in 1897?
Since then, the dish, made with fresh cherries, liqueur, and flambéed, then served over vanilla ice cream, has grown into one of America’s favorite desserts.
I don’t particularly care for this dish. However, I do reach for cherries in the summertime. They’re a nutritious treat.
The Cherry Facts:
Cherries can also slow the aging process. The fruit’s potent antioxidants eliminate different stresses to your body, including free radicals (not unlike watermelon’s anti-aging benefits, too).
This summer, chomp on cherries to boost heart health (and treat gout, too!). As a result, you will sleep better, increase potassium levels, reduce inflammation, and finally slow the aging process. You can even freeze cherries for ongoing benefits beyond the summer months.
Have a fabulous week!
Be still my heart. Eugenia, this outfit is divine. I love every piece worn as you have or as separate pieces.
Glenda,
Hi! Thank you! I took a leap wearing this voluminous top but the encouragement from you and from Instagram help me overcome my resistance to perhaps adding similar tops to my wardrobe. As always, thank you for stopping by The Age of Grace.
Eugenia, You look gorgeous!
Nina,
Hi! So nice to hear from you! Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate you stopping by.
Love the crisp white on white on you! The pattern on the bag is the perfect pop of color and a lovely way to add another layer of interest. I love cherries, too, just the way they are.
xx, Elle
Elle,
Hello again! I had fun with this outfit. The oversized peplum was out of my comfort zone but happy with the results. I like the summer fabrics and crispness that white offers. I wasn’t sure how the coral shoes would look but as you mentioned, a pop of color always helps to make a statement.
Yes, cherries, I can’t stop eating them, so yummy?
