 Aren't these beautiful?! It's not quite Spring, but these lovely Lavender Lemonade Cupcakes will make you think otherwise. Right now - in January! - we have these delightful beauties for your taste sensation. A patron ordered these specialty cupcakes for a wedding taster, loved them, ordered them for the wedding and some to take home in the meantime. Well ... you know about baker's dozens and whatnot so we have some extra hanging around for you to love, too. As a specialty cupcake, we don't always have Lavender Lemonade (better come in and get these last ones soon), but we'd love to have them for you in two days for any prepaid order. You can start your order via email to busybaker@msn.com. Lovely AND delicious, you can't go wrong with our Lavender Lemonade cupcakes! Happy Birthday! Please take a moment to wish Cupcakes Bakery & Deli founder and owner, Milli, a happy and blessed birthday!
 Generally the day before New Year’s Eve in the kitchen pots are clanging and pans are banging in preparation of The Good Luck Feast, and dishes that represent Southern tradition are on my New Year’s Day menu. Many of the recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. Over the years variations have been tried and the rivalry between family members to show off their own culinary expertise has brought some very interesting results. The soul food that shared centers around a love of food and family, memories of those gone before us and a rich cultural heritage. There are some staples of the New Year’s feast that a down-home cook must always include to guarantee a year of prosperity and much-deserved accolades.
Whether you believe in “peas for pennies, greens for dollars or bread for gold,” as good luck in the new year or not, these dishes are sure to afford you some mighty good eating. Wishing You and Yours A Blessed (prosperous) 2018! Milli Black-Eyed Peas 12oz package dry black-eyed peas 2-3 meaty ham hocks ½ c red bell pepper diced ½ c green bell pepper diced ¾ c onion diced 1 stalk celery chopped 2 cloves garlic crushed 2 tsps. Turmeric ½ tsp cayenne pepper Salt & pepper to taste Cover beans in water and soak overnight. Drain and sort. In a dutch oven saute vegetables with spices, add ham hocks, cover with water. Cook meat ½ hour add beans cook until meat is tender. Check beans occasionally you may need to add more hot water. Approximately 2 ½ to 3 hours. May be cooked in a crockpot overnight. You may use frozen beans. Cook meat thoroughly before adding beans. Tip: when cooking beans & greens add ½ to 1 tsp baking soda to the boiling pot. It'll foam for a few minutes releasing gases that can cause discomfort to sensitive digestive systems. 😊  |
