This month, we’re celebrating the local black business owners that make Memphis delicious.  Made locally and sold at Cash Saver, these brands range from home-cooking to classic cookies. Here are a handful of ways you can incorporate some local black history into your kitchen.

Makeda’s Butter Cookies

Let’s be clear: Makeda’s cookies belong in your pantry all year– not just for Black History Month. Butter cookies are a sturdy cookie that go perfectly with a cup of coffee or milk, but their flavor is subtle enough to match with just about anything. Pair butter cookies with jam, ice cream, or yogurt for a healthy twist. They’re the melt-in-your-mouth, buttery treat that you deserve to celebrate the month.

Robinson BBQ Sauce

Making great wings is a breeze with the right ingredients, and Robinson BBQ sauce is our go-to for quality wing sauce. Kenneth “Wimp” Robinson grew up in Cedar Grove, Tennessee, a town of only 2,000 people. At fifteen years old, Wimp perfected his recipe, and after fifty-one years, he is finally sharing it with the world. After all those years perfecting his craft, we trust Robinson BBQ sauce to carry us through the cookout.

Beneva Mayweather’s Gourmet Cinnamon Rolls

Beneva Mayweather was a caterer in Memphis that shared her homemade recipes with her community all the way to her death in 2000. Her grandson, inspired by Beneva’s passion for bringing great food to the community, started the food brand in 2007 to continue Beneva’s legacy of making home-cooking accessible to everyone. Today, you can find many tasty foods from the Beneva Mayweather Food Brand in Cash Saver, but our favorite has to be the pillow-soft, fluffy, and gooey Gourmet Cinnamon Rolls.

Nature’s Health Haven Tea 

We’re celebrating this black-owned brand not only for its health benefits, but also its dedication to ethical and sustainable sourcing. Nature’s Health Haven is owned by John Devault, who has studied holistic health for over five years. He shares his knowledge through his teas, which are    sustainably-made, ethically-sourced, and make you feel great. These teas are intended to encourage balanced and mindful diets with natural plants and herbs. With refreshing flavors like hibiscus, elderberry, and sea moss limeade, you’ll find the perfect burst of flavor with a healthy kick.
