Mama Fannie was my amazing mother who grew up in a very small town in Louisiana. She was born in 1921. She was an older child in a family of many kids. She and her siblings were raised as Christians, and attending church services was mandatory. Growing up surrounded by great cooks, she developed her culinary skills early on. Although she had to leave school to support her younger siblings, her intelligence and wisdom shone brightly. Mama Fannie radiated peace and tranquility, drawing people from far and wide who sought her guidance and simply cherished her presence. Family, friends, and her grand and great-grandchildren often visited, because they loved being around her. She felt like everyone's mom. This is how she got the name, Mama Fannie. 

In the vibrant city of New Orleans during the 1950s, my mom began a journey that led her to meet my dad and create a loving family. As the matriarch, she guided us with compassion, grace, and an unwavering faith in God. Though they may not have had much to give materially, my parents enriched our lives with a legacy rooted in the love of Christ, and deep respect for mankind and one another. Today, my siblings and I cherish the closeness we still share as a testament to the values of love and kindness instilled in us by our remarkable parents.

I founded Mama Fannie's as an homage to this great woman. I was inspired by the memories and aromas that filled our house, and by the amazing foods mom would cook. My goal is to bring the vibrant flavors of my childhood and life growing up in New Orleans, directly to your table. Through our enticing range of ready-to-eat meals, unique and flavorful dips, and our own beignet mix, I am excited to share with you the delicious taste of the foods I grew up eating. Also, don't forget our amazing melt-in-your-mouth pecan pralines that started it all! We put both tradition and love in every bite for your enjoyment!
