Food Holidays: Jelly Beans, Cotton Candy, and Raspberry Cake

Here it is -- July 31, and it looks like they tried to squeeze in three food holidays before the month was over.

Today is National Jump For Jelly Beans Day, National Cotton Candy Day, and National Raspberry Cake Day. Why Raspberry Cake is so popular it gets its own holiday I have no idea, but there you go. Here's a recipe for Raspberry Cake from Annie's Recipe Kitchen, and did you know you can make cotton candy at home?

As for jelly beans, you can get some recipes from Jelly Belly. They aren't "recipes" in the classic sense, they are actually combos of jelly beans you pop in your mouth that create a dessert. For example, 2 chocolate pudding jelly beans + 1 cappuccino jelly bean + 1 peanut butter jelly bean = Mud Pie!

Tip of the Day

Drying fruit is easy, mostly hands-off and yields a sweet and healthy snack.
