Dixie Picnic

My three brothers and I spent many an afternoon on "picnics" with my Mother Bette's eccentric Southern relatives. Virginia, our Great grandmother known as "Momma", Ruby, our grandmother or "Bucky", and her sisters Aunt Anne, Aunt Myrtle, Aunt Sadie, and Aunt Bert were sometimes scary to us as small children, but Oh Lord could these women cook! As adults, we often howled as we reminisced about our "Dixie Picnics". We also remembered how fine it felt to open up our very own box lunch with a sandwich of home baked Sally Lunn Bread and one of Aunt Bertha's Upcakes with enough icing for every bite! Each and every one of these lunches was made by hand from real food and inspired by the love of those crazy women who would do anything to spend time with Bette and her "shweet dahlin chillen". We hope that you feel as special about our food, our family, and the dixie picnic that we've been baking all morning just for you! "More people - less ants!"
