    Stacey Lynn has a love of southern food which came from living in Texas, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida as well as spending time in Arkansas where her mama lives.  She says, "I may not have been born in the South but I got here as fast as I could.  Mama will tell you I wasn’t much of a cook growing up but as times change and life throws you lemons, you gotta make lemonade.  So I got myself in the kitchen and learned how to cook good wholesome food for my son and fell in love with the process."

    Joy the Baker

    Joy grew up in the kitchen in between her father, who makes a mean Sweet Potato Pie, and mother, who is a self-taught cake decorator. Between both kitchen loving-parents, the clinking cake pans, and the flying flour, it became clear that baking was in her blood.

    She moved from California to New Orleans, Louisiana in 2014 inspired by the people, the culture, and the beignets. That’s where she does a majority of her living, working, eating, cocktailing and related horsing around.

    Feeding people makes Stacey Little happy.  It’s just about as plain and simple as that.  "There are few things in this world that I delight more in than my family and friends gathered around my table enjoying a meal.  The truth is, food makes most people happy – regardless of the chance it might also make them fat.  In the South, we celebrate everything with food: birthdays, anniversaries, funerals and football games.  It’s just one of the many ways a Southerner expresses love to another person.  We feed them."
