Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24: A Southern Family: Brunch In the Heart Of Dixie
I’ve had quite a time keeping this secret under wraps, but a few weeks ago I found out that Southern Plate had been chosen as one of the participants in the Foodbuzz 24,24,24 event! Foodbuzz is going to feature 24 meals, in 24 hours, on 24 different blogs around the world!
I wrote up a formal proposal complete with menu, writing samples, and type of coverage I would provide along with why my voice would be a unique one to include in this event and you could have knocked me over with a feather when my proposal was accepted! If you’d like to learn a little more about me and my history with Southern food, settle in and sit a spell or just click here!
Lets get us some good food cookin’! In the South, we love breakfast. We love it any time of the day, too! Many restaurants feature breakfast bars at dinner or even full breakfast menus throughout the day. When a large family gathers together, what could be more pleasing than our favorite traditional breakfast dishes served up with a glass of iced tea?
We gathered at my parent’s house on the banks of the Tennessee River. With my two grandmothers, adopted Aunt and Uncle, siblings, children, and nephews, there were a total of nine people sitting at my mother’s expansive dinner table, with overflow in the sunroom.
(with traditional add ins)
If you’d like to know how to prepare any dish featured on our menu, simply click the name for a full, step by step photographic tutorial! Each week we add more tutorials to Southern Plate with almost a hundred so far and growing every day!
Pecan Pie muffins combine all of the wonderful flavors of our traditional Pecan Pie into a moist and dense muffin.
Slow Cooked Oatmeal is topped with an assortment of fixin’s, including brown sugar, raisins, and chopped pecans!
It’s ready, Y’all come and eat!
Be sure to join my email list in the top right corner of this page to receive a FREE e of Southern Plate Reader’s Favorite Slow Cooker Recipes as well an email of printer friendly versions of each recipe featured on Southern Plate that week!

Hehe! So many fabulous comments! Y’all are really SO GOOD TO ME!!! Thank you!!! Someone said they don’t do sugar in their tea, you’ll be happy to know that just about every glass on that table had splenda in it ~winks~, as for sugar in grits, Oh my yes!! Just wait til I show ya how I eat rice for breakfast! LOL!
All of you are just so good to me, so very good to me. I thank you each and every one for reading my blog! And Myella, Of course I answered your email! LOL I appreciate you taking the time to write it. I do get a lot of them and I am usually behind on responding with so many irons in the fire, but I make it a point to do my absolute best to answer everyone. You take the time to read Southern Plate!
Myella and all of my wonderful and dear friends (you are so much more than readers), you’ve created a wonderful community here and I really feel like we are all sitting on my front porch gabbing whenever we talk in the comments section or email or through posts.
Thank you all so much for being such wonderful people! If I could, I would SOOOOOOOOOOOOO cook for you all!!!!
Still feeling like I’ve won the lottery,
Christy
im so high, i don’t even know who my own name was!
So fun to see your table settings … I have Mikasa’s “Arabella” pattern, too! I started collecting Fiestaware, so my sister is using the Arabella, but I just love it. A beautiful table for delicious food!
I don’t know why you were surprised to be chosen Christy. I found your website by accident about 2 weeks ago. I have been forwarding your recipes to my sisters as soon as I receive them. Just as much as I enjoy the recipes, I enjoy the personal stories and pictures. I am from a large family who throughout the years have kind of distanced ourselves with our own families. Your website has brought us more together in the exchange of memories we have surrounding the simple foods we grew up with. I am so happy whenever you have a new post and anticipate your personal touches. God bless you and yours. Katey from Michigan
I get so excited when I find new recipes!! Love your site!
Congratulations Christy! Your blog is awesome and you more than deserve the recognition. You do Alabama proud! BIG HUGS!

Now, that’s the kind of brunch I love. Congratulations on being picked for this event. It was a lot of fun.
Mmmmmmm! My daddy was born in Alabama but raised in Mississippi, and though I’ve been raised in Texas, there isn’t a thing on your table that I haven’t had for breakfast, brunch, lunch or supper (or midnight snack leftovers LOL) at many different times.
Love the post. Thanks!!!! (And CONGRATS too!!!!)
