How about taking the kids on a picnic now that school's out! This week's park: Valley Creek Park in East Whiteland.

Valley Creek Park is located on Route 29 in East Whiteland township. There is a picnic pavilion, playgrounds, and a lovely creek to explore as well as tennis courts. It will be hosting the East Whiteland Township's Summer Concert Series. It's also a great place to bring the kids with a kids box lunch and spend an hour or two without a care in the world. Isn't this what summer is all about? Take the work out of the day and let a Dixie Picnic box lunch for you and the kids replace it with a little bit of magic. Every kids box lunch includes a sandwich (peanut butter and banana jam, pb&j, cheese, ham and cheese, or tuna) applesauce, and an upcake for just 4.25. And remember, we make everything fresh on the premises. Speaking of Valley Creek Park…

Have you discovered the power and Nutrition of the

High Fiber, Low Fat Apple Ginger Muffin!!?

We developed our High Fiber Low Fat Apple Ginger Muffin at the request of Matt, a personal trainer who eats at Dixie Picnic regularly. He wanted a snack food that he could recommend without guilt to his clients. It had to taste good, be packed with nutrition and high fiber and be low in fat. This tasty little muffin has become one of our best sellers and quite a few of our customers are ordering whole batches to take home and store in the freezer. High fiber content takes a carbohydrate into a more nutritional category because it slows the rate of absorption into the body and buffers the release of insulin in response to rapid increases in blood sugar associated with low fiber carbs. This makes high fiber carbs a better alternative for diabetics as well as those trying to avoid the peaks and valleys of hunger that can often sabotage a diet. Fiber leaves a feeling of fullness for a longer period of time. It also promotes regular intestinal motility - if you get our drift!! We suspect that our customers may be enjoying this added benefit of our delicious apple ginger muffin.

UPCAKES IN THE NEWS

Upcakes have been shaking up the airwaves and the printed page. In April we were mentioned in New Jersey Monthly in the "Best of Jersey" feature in the "Best of Jersey Food" category. The June issue of South Jersey Magazine honored us in their 2008 "Best of the Shore" article, naming Upcakes the "Best New Junk Food Trend." Well, we never thought of our Upcakes as junk food, being made with all natural ingredients and fresh every day, but it sure sounded like they loved the way Upcakes tasted, so we'll take it as a compliment.

Philly Style Magazine conducted a full photo shoot to showcase our Upcakes in high style for their article on "25 Tastes of Summer." Our little cakes looked mighty fine if we do say so ourselves. Be sure to pick up the July issue of Philly Style to see the full article.

The NBC10 (WCAU-TV) 10! Show featured Upcakes on a segment with guest Jen Miller of Down The Shore With Jen, and author of "The Jersey Shore, Atlantic City to Cape May." Jen talked about classic shore foods, and included Upcakes as the "new classic." Bill Henley commented that he thought Upcakes would be around for "hundreds of years." WOW! Wouldn't that be something! You can view the full segment here.
