How do you feel about baking with lavender?

[@mamaksstorytime]

There is nothing like it in short bread! So deliciously different.

[@zzzzipy12]

I need to try the lavender! Sounds yummy with lemon.

[@DianaLynne-27]

Will try it, since I never heard of it

[@tammiemiller8272]

Will have to try it thanks for sharing looks delicious love and best dishes Paula and Eddie and Theresa May the 4 be with you yummy 🍋💐

My grand daughter goes to a place here in Michigan where there is fields of lavender .It s a beautiful sight .They let u pick huge bouquets of lavender .She dries it .Smells so nice .

I HAVE NO DOUBT YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST MOTHERS- PAULA LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH YOUR LIFE. I AM SURE YOUR SONS ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU AND FRANKLY WHO WOULDN’T BE!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ “HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!

[@morgancalvi6675]

@michelebadley...you'd be incorrect with that line of thinking. Bobby only wears that stupid South Beach apron because he likes to run dirt in her face...pour salt in the wounds, sort to speak. If he were proud of her, he'd not do that.

[@emilyhill4364]

Paula still here watching yall ! I just wanted to let you know your videos make my day. I could have the worse day and you and Michael, your family, and your team make my days so much better with your videos. Thank you for continuing to take time out of your busy days to make our lives brighter with your videos. You are like a ray of sunshine for me 🌻 . 💛

[@apatterson1461]

I love making your gooey butter cakes for gatherings. The last one I made was a lemon gooey. I used store bought lemon curd and it was very popular. Wish I had thought of lavender. The surprise was many of the younger ones at these get-togethers are picking up the pace and wanting the recipes for your wonderful cakes. I tell them look up Paula Deen. Even my mother-in-law loves the classic gooey with toffee pieces in the cake. That's her new birthday cake😀

[@grammieb6294]

I absolutely LOVE lavender....it's my favorite color, scent, everything! But I've never eaten, or drank, anything with lavender in it! 😊💜

[@Jungkook4all]

Hello there

[@southernbygrace3274]

I make lavender lemonade and it is SO good.

[@robertgastreich9846]

I have food allergies, and stomach problems I can' eat a lot food that is prepared by cooks like you. No one makes food, for people with food allergies. I still love your show and watch it everyday. You make wonderful food all the time. I just to mention, since mothers day is coming up. My mother died in 2001. Mt sister lost her mother-in --law 4 years ago, and my brother lost his wife 8 years ago. All were mothers. So we don't celebrate Mothers Day as a family. We go to the cemetary to place flowers, then have a small family gathering. No does anything for families who have lost mothers in their family. Keep up the great recipies that you come out with and I will be watching.

[@mamaksstorytime]

It is so fascinating to hear Paula’s restaurant reminiscing!

[@Jungkook4all]

Hello there

Happy Mother’s Day to you. Enjoy your family.

[@paigeschultz6951]

Omgosh! I learn something every time!! Been married 32 years and never thought about dragging my spatula along the beaters to clean it… of course! Did y’all see how Miss P got EVERY bit of that batter out of that bowl!!! Love that- can’t stand to waste either. And the little bowl to set your mixer /beaters in between uses etc. Great stuff! I bet the lavender became more prominent as it cooled and stored a few days?❤❤❤

What kind of mixer are you using for the lavender gooey butter cake recipe? It is so nice and quiet and doesn’t take off on a high speed! Mine does not have a nice slow quiet speed!

[@charitys.3862]

This sounds amazing 👏

[@rebeccapatterson3031]

I ate at your restaurant in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. The food was great

[@leopardvixen2242]

I'm allergic to lavender but we love lemon desserts in this house! My Mom especially loves anything lemon-coconut. I'm gonna have to try this with a coconut cake mix or maybe add a bit of coconut extract to the vanilla cake mix. Yum!

[@marietteraath7519]

Hi there mama Paula sorry for saying that but i feel like you are my second momma. I have a wonderfull fantastic awesome mother. I just love to bits. Your videos are just so inspiring.

Morning paula!

Lemon is always a favorite of mine.

Love this!!!! With the cost of a dozen eggs over $2, I wish I had some chickens too!!!😊❤

[@ckrtom2]

Ha, the GOOD ones (organic, free range, yadda yadda…) are over $6 per dozen! Yikes!

[@charitys.3862]

You got to buy laying feed so you're really not saving Any money. But, I sure do miss having chickens of my own, and fresh eggs everyday. We're getting some more soon. But the laying hens themselves are going for quit a bit too, so again not saving any money, but love raising chickens.

[@tinktaylor444]

What about lavender in both layers? Is there a reason you didn't do that? Looks good to me!

[@ckrtom2]

Would probably taste like eating flowers (too overpowering), but if you like that, go for it…

[@andreamarin4296]

I never knew I’d need this creation of deliciousness in my life until now!!! what a great video so fun, relaxed and casual. Theresa is cute as a button! Hope she has a slice or two by now! I would have had a healthy glob of whipped cream on mine and then for the second slice maybe some lemon verbena ice cream!

[@lindabranum6686]

Miss Denim it takes 1 egg on the crust mixture and 3 eggs for the inside mixture.

I have yet to make a gooey butter cake, but this one sounds great. If only I had some lavender!! LOL!! 😂

@@heidid5275 Yes, I suppose I could freeze or give. Right now, I'm hooked on the mock zucchini "apple" dessert. I love it. I don't make the pie, but do a streusel topping, and I add lots of nuts and raisins to the zucchini mix. Somehow, being zucchini, seems like a Dieter's dessert! ??? I do watch the amount of sugar and have tweaked it a bit.

How much butter?

I always thought yellow cake was richer because of the yolks...yet Paula says it's a more neutral taste. What am I missing?

[@katiek1856]

Maybe adding a drop or two lavender extract might be helpful in this dish

[@londonlady227]

She didnt add enough and yes, extract would help.

[@stacey5925]

Charity, I haven't eaten any fast food for 30 years, at least. I remember years ago, when I was working in downtown Pittsburgh, there was a McDonald's at the end of the block. Used to get a salad there and then all afternoon at my desk, I would not feel well, and could never figure it out until one day, I saw them make salads, with outdated bags of lettuce (I overheard one employee asking another whether or not to use it!). That did it for me..never again!!!!

[@charitys.3862]

Thats great, I admire your restraint! And also dont blame you on not going back. I gotta admit I did grow up on McDonald's, and it was a treat then. But, me and my daughter's go to place to get a quick bite is subway, I know its not the best place to eat at but definitely not the worst! We used to eat there 2 to 3 times a week, we've cut down to once a week. Its pretty much the only place I'll eat out at, since I started eating better. There has been an occasional Mexican restaurant outing though. We will be eating out the next few days gotta travel to Eufalua tomorrow so she can take an AP test. Then back to Eufalua next Monday and back Tuesday. Ive been dreading these 2 trips!! 😒
