Southern Plate Celebrates 100 Recipes With Link Love!
100 Recipes!!!
Its hard to believe that my next recipe post will be the 100th recipe post on Southern Plate! This calls for a celebration! Since the beginning, you’ve all be so encouraging and wonderful to me, I truly don’t know how I got so lucky to have such amazingly generous and kind people reading and hanging out on my virtual front porch, but I am so very grateful for each and every one of you.
But we’ve been sitting here on this front porch for a while now and I’ve just been a talkin’ away and haven’t let you get a word in edgewise! So why don’t you step up and introduce yourselves to everyone on this post.
I invite you to list the url to your blog or website along with a description of what its about and/or who you are!
I won’t be responding to these comments (this is your show!) but I will check and follow every link and if you have Southern Plate listed among your links, I’ll be sure to add you to my permanent links as well (which will someday be organized by category and include short descriptions…someday! I am going to update it and add a big, pretty button on my sidebar this weekend.).
After a few days, I’m going to make a button on my sidebar with a shortcut to my “Link Love” post. So go ahead and introduce yourself to the wonderful folks here, and let us get to know you better!
*Your blog or website does not have to be food related! All readers of Southern Plate are invited, welcomed, and requested to participate because YOU Are so very important here!!
All I ask is that you list family friendly websites only, please.
So speak up! Tell us about your blog here!

Hi everyone (and especially hi to Christy, our lovely hostess!) I’m Stephanie. I’m a young wife and mother, with two little kids ages 3 and 1. They’re just about the cutest kids I’ve ever seen, but I might be a bit biased on that. I’m a SAHM, and my husband is a medical technologist.
My blog, Fun Foods on a Budget, is all about cooking and eating delicious food that doesn’t cost a lot. I’ve always been pretty frugal (I think it’s awesome that Christy flaunts her blatant use of store brands), and I love sharing recipes. So having a blog full of cheap foods is just really fun for me. You can find me at http://www.baskersfunfoods.blogspot.com
Congratulations! Wow, 100 huh? And all pretty dang good!
Hi, I’m Mary over at My New 30 – I’m in south Mississippi and I’m nowhere near all these professional looking blogs, but I started blogging when I turned 50 (the new 30 right?) and I was dieting to lose weight for a vacation. I recently revived my blog to have a place just to hear myself think about whatever is on my mind, but mostly here lately it’s all about food (what else is there?) and gadgets and product reviews and banter.
Southern Plate is one of my favorite spots for recipes and inspiration! Again … congrats! What a milestone.

Hi,
I’m Jodi, a SAHM from Colorado. I’m new to blogging and my blog is only a little over a month old. I have a few recipes on there so far, but I also like to write about my life, my daughter, my husband and our cats. I’m still learning, so bear with me, but I love to get comments and I love discovering new blogs as well.

Hi, Christy! You are too nice, you know that. . .
Little House in the Suburbs is two friends with WAY too much time on our hands to concoct extreme homemaking projects, frugal living stuff, cooking, gardening, and soapmaking. Oh, and with chickens. Bawk.

Congrats on your centirecintennial!
Woohoo! Congrats on recipe number 100!
My name is Christy also, better know throughout Netdom as Jalera though. My little corner of the world is called Jal’s Kitchen, and as the little blurb underneaths says, it’s observations on Life, the world, my cat, family, friends and cooking. I live just north of you in Fayetteville TN. Southern Plate is always the first blog I read.

Jillybean here. I hang out at The Post-It Place (www.thepost-itplace.com) where I babble about all kinds of things. We have giveaways going on most of the time, I have a recipe page, and generally talk about the things going on in my life and in Hick Town.
I am Courtney. I am a twenty-something SAHM. I write at Cady Cupcake. It is basically a place for our family and friends who are scattered all over to keep up with our daughter. I throw in some random recipes and political rantings every once in awhile.
Congratulations on your 100th recipe post! Very nice! I love this little dip into “southern-ness” out in blogland!
I started my blog to chronicle my knitting but arthritis has side-lined picking up sticks and yarn right now. I was going to let my blog hibernate but my daughter urged me to just journal about the things I enjoy. So my little blog is a collection of random thoughts and hopefully a bit of fun!
I am a grandma of 8 + 3 grandchildren, who has learned how to blog this past year. I blog about whatever is on my heart, usually something to do with the current news, or the grandkids, or whatever.
I surely enjoy reading different blogs about different things. The cooking ones are fun, and make me want to cook again, but with a husband who is gone from 6:30am to 8:30pm, I usually eat at the ‘neighbors’ (my twin sister lives across the street.)
One of these days I will post my famous chicken enchilada recipe which gets eaten up at our church pot lucks!
Thanks Christie for your yummy recipes. I am going to make the pecan pie for Thanksgiving when the whole crew is home.

Chrisy, Congrats on your 100th recipe post. I’ve neglected my blog and you inspire me to get busy. I look forward to the Southern Plate emails and I’ve noted several recipes I want to try over the holidays and look forward to your new recipes to come.
You’ll find my soon to not be so neglected blog here: http://www.celebratingsoutherness.com
I’m mom to 5 and grandma to 1. I recently started a blog One Old Goat and her little farm – to document my adventures as a new farmer. Starting from scratch and building pens frugally through bargaining and craigslist, I’m slowly becoming more knowledgable as we go along.

Hello there Christy,
My name is Anita and I am from Chattanooga, TN. I found your site quite by mistake when I lost my mom’s recipe to “Hoe Cake.” I knew it was very simple but was not sure if I had forgot anything so I googled it and here I am! After seeing so many of your recipes I am sure we are “kinfolk” and just don’t know it yet! So many of your recipes I grew on. I love your site and am really glad I stumbled onto it!

Hi! I’m StitchRaven, and my blog’s about my cross-stitch projects and a place to put little free projects as I design them. I’ve only just gotten started, but come take a look.
I’ll likely kick in a recipe or two every now and then as well, life sneaks in around the stitches every once in a while.

Thanks for your great sense of humor, and wonderful recipes. Keep ‘em coming!
Hi Everyone!
Congrats to Christy, wow, 100 recipes!
My name is Heather and I was born and raised in California. I married my husband in June, and he got accepted to Georgia State University so we packed what we could into our two cars, ditched everything else, and drove across the country, stopping where we wanted to along the way and making a road trip of it. He is now pursuing his PhD in Neurobiology and for now I’m officially a housewife. I’ve applied to attend the local community college here and anticipate taking classes in Microbiology next semester.
My blog, http://theadventuresofheather.blogspot.com/ is about my adjustment to life in the South and the various “adventures” I have along the way. Mostly my blog is recipes that I’ve either created or found, and a couple of blogs about knitting and quilting.
Nothing special really, but it makes me happy to share this part of my life and I enjoy all the awesome ideas and recipes that all you guys out there share with the world!
hi
I’m Karen, I don’t cook much, but I send the yummy recipes to my hubby who is an awesome cook!
Between us we have 7 children and 9 grandchildren and one more on the way.
I blog here http://www.cottonspice.com/CSblog about the quilting magazine I publish online, and my knitting and sewing, and just the other day, started a new sideline business making and selling digiscrapping kits! I LOVE digiscrapping!!!
I work at home, and we live in Joplin, MO. Whether I cook or not, I sure enjoy reading your posts/emails Christy
Hi, I’m Bill.
I’m a 46 year old male. I quit my job a few years ago so I could take care of my 82 year old Dad. It’s been amusing and frustrating but he took care of his daddy and my mom while both were ill so I couldn’t really do any less for him. I have been known to tell him I was gonna wait till dark and go throw him over the gates of the cemetery if he didn’t behave.
I found this blog and instantly loved it because it gave me recipes like my Grandma used to make and it makes the old man happy.
Try the Butterfinger Cake.. I got Marriage proposals out of it. I do have a blog but it ain’t much. You can click on my name to get to it.
LONG LIVE SOUTHERN PLATE!
Hello Christy! Well I am in South Georgia and just started blogging in August at http://thegreengrassgrowsallaround.blogspot.com
I love recipes and I am having fun sharing my love for new dishes though my small business. It is fun to do what you love!
Love your site!
Hi – I stumbled on Southern Plate through another food blog I’ve been reading. I found the banter to be friendly and the cooking like my own family’s. So I decided to stick around.
Congratulations on the 100th recipe!
My blog is random – maybe even a glorified journal. I do a few cooking posts when I can remember to take the photos. I write about whatever is interesting to me or is going on with me at the time, so it’s liable to be anything. I’m probably not too interesting compared many other bloggers out there, but I try to update at least a couple of times a week.
If you do visit – I’d like to know. So please leave a comment.

Hey! I’m Donna, aka Yellow Jeep Blonde. I’m a 40+ year old trying to figure out what to do with my time now that my boys are all grown up. So I’m taking up photography (which is a lot more difficult than I’d imagined – you just point and shoot, right? I thought.) And I cook. Always have.
I share old tried and true recipes, recipes for budget meals, and new recipes that I experiment with because I’m a self-confessed cookbook HOG!
Come see me! http://www.yellowjeepblonde.com
Christy, I love your blog. You cook like I want to and WOULD if I didn’t have to work every day!
You are my hero! Housewife-wise….LOL
Thanks for being there and taking good care of your little ones and lovin’ your Mama! (Especially lovin’ your Mama)
Oh! I hope I have the fortitude to last for 100 recipes. Wowie! Great recipes and as a fellow Southern Belle, they are all very familiar. You go, Girl! Please visit me at http://www.teaandscones.wordpress.com
Hello all! And a special hello to you, Christy!
My name is Amiyrah, I’m 26 and a part time SAHM. I am also enlisted in the New Jersey Air National Guard. I have a 3 year old, cute as a button, little boy. My Hubby works for the state as an electrician and I have become very interested in living frugal while still living well. I talk about this quite a bit on my blog. I absolutely love this site! All of the recipes remind me of what my grandmother used to make for me when I was younger. She was from Southwest Georgia and I still think of her and her cooking daily. Can’t wait to see more recipes from you!

Hi everyone! My name is Alice and I just recently became a SAHM. I do work as a nurse sometimes when my husband can get a day off during the week to watch our 6 month old daughter. Since i’ve been home i’ve been cooking, baking, and blogging. I’m fairly new to the blogging thing. I just started it 2 months ago. I hope to add a side blog to it soon about several artsy fartsy stuff like ceramics, scrapbooking, cardmaking (neither of which i’m a pro at) and fun things we do with our daughter. Thank you Christy for this opportunity. I love your site. It’s now of my “favorite sites to visit” on my blog. I just found it today by accident on a search regarding butttercream and your cookie cake recipe popped up. I have been browsing ever since! I am definitely going to try your Coca Cola Cake recipe!

Hello Christy & All of you wonderful ladies, I'm Mandi 33 from Oklahoma, I'm a SAHM of two beautiful girls, 7 years and 19 months. I love to cook for my family. I write two blogs, one about everyday life & one about the recipes that I cook and we like

Congrats on 100 posts!
I’m Teresa and my blog is I’m Running to Eat! I started it as a way to keep track of my workouts and to get myself to cook more meals at home. It’s evolved and now it’s not so much about running as it is about my search for quick, easy and hopefully healthy recipes that my family will love.
Hello from Michigan! I’m Jane, a fortyish mom of four, a daughter who’s 26, and three sons 23, 20, and 18. I was a SAHM until my youngest entered school, then I returned to the work force. My degree is in Physical Therapy and I work for a home healthcare agency, with mostly Medicare-age patients. I love my work!
I also write, read, and absolutely love baking and cooking. My dream is to open a bakery someday, so I started my food blog Foodzilla to chronicle my journey towards that goal.
I love reading everyone’s blogs and have learned a great deal from them.
Congratulations, Southern Plate, on your accomplishments!

COngrats on 100!!
I am Cory over at http://zestycook.com. I am 32 old guy who loves to cook. Christy has a great blog and I always love to drop by and see some old traditional recipes. Thanks Christy.
Well, I've become an avid fan of your recipes, Christy. Today when I did my Menu Planning for the week, I incorporated three of your recipes — chicken and dumplings (love it!), mac & cheese and taco soup. My blog is called "How to be a Housewife" and covers the daily doings of me — a babysitting grandma, wife, mom, quilter, and whatever else needs to be done. You can read my blog at http://joanoh2.blogspot.com. I actually mentioned your web site in my blog today (11/10/08).
Hi from the Ozarks,
I am so happy I found your site. Love your recipes, some of them are the same way we fix our vittles here in the Ozarks. I’m new at this blogging thing but I thought it would be fun to tell people a little about the hills I live in and a little about the hillbilly way of life. I only hope I can get to 100 recipes posted on my site. Thanks for all your many tips and recipes.

Hi! I’m Shana and I’m a Yankee living in Georgia! I’m a 31 yr old SAHM with 3 under 3! I”m new to blogging, so there isn’t much there to read, but I find it’s a good release and keeps my far away friends in touch with our life down here! It’s a little bit of everything–rants, inspirations, recipes, crafty stuff, etc. Feel free to come a take a peek into my world!

I too love to read cookbooks. I can spend hours reading a new one. I think my favorite holiday is Christmas. And a big hello to Miss Millie.
