I had my first meat pie during my brief stint in the SCA, a group of very fun people who completely re-enact medieval times (I loved sewing my own garb!). People would make them ahead of time, wrap in foil and refrigerate, and then we’d heat them by the fire whenever someone got hungry. They [...]
Somewhere about the time that the Rambo movies were in full swing, my dad and a few of his friends from the Huntsville Police Department decided that they needed to spend a weekend getting back to nature and “roughing it”.

I just love all of our SouthernSayings and talking about them never seems to get old. A few times now I’ve asked people to tell me their favorites on our Facebook page and that page lights up with hundreds of contributions, everyone tickled to get to talk about them and see what quirky sayings others [...]
You know, I don’t have a plan for anything I’m going to write on any given day on Southern Plate. I usually just wake up and see what I’m in the mood to talk about and run with it. Sometimes I can loop it into being related to that days recipe and sometimes I do [...]
I’ve had a lot of folks tell me they’ve ordered the Southern Plate Cookbook as Mother’s Day gifts and I’m so tickled about that! Since we have to wait a bit for the pre-orders to ship, I’ve made a printable page with a letter from me to give to your mother or grandmother so you [...]
