I was so hoping I could catch you in Georgia or Florida as we head South for the winter!!!! Here’s an idea = let’s meet at Paula Deen’s “The Lady & Sons” for lunch in early December = my treat!!! Maybe I could be lucky enough to meet TWO of my favorite Souther Lady Cooks!!!!
[...] Now I just have to do posts on Oxford, Memphis, and Jackson but I’m heading out to Atlanta and Asheville today so we’ll see what we have time for. Next week I’m headed to Texas and Oklahoma! For complete tour dates, please click here. [...]

Oh but NY is not on the list-boo hoo!
.Found your site and it’s like meeting an old friend. Originally from Chattanooga, TN love cooking southern recipes for my family and friends. Wish St. Louis, MO was on your itinerary. Moved here 20 years ago and love the weather and the people. Hope we get on your book schedule soon. Thanks for your wealth of southern recipes. i’ll have to get out Mama old recipe box and see if I can find some of her favorites. I’ve read through all your recipes on Southern Plate and found out that your Mama and my Mama loved her family enough to cook up good food even if we didn’t have lot of money.
I’m really enjoying your cookbook. I’ll see you tomorrow night in Atlanta with two friends from church, who bake amazing cupcakes. I’ve told them all about you and they are eager to meet you. Hugs!

Are you coming to California?? I finally got your book. My daughter and I were so excited to get it. She knows I love to sit and look at all your recipes and print them up and then make it the next day. Now I have a wonderful cookbook to look at . I hope you can make it here someday.
Please come to Northern Illinois!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought your book on iTunes. I love the way it is laid out by seasons. When I got to “the part” I cried my eyes out for you. Great book, WONDERFUL family.
Christy, thanks for all the ground beef recipes. When I find it on sale I buy alot of it and put it in the freezer. I like making different things so this will help me out alot. Good day my friend!!!
[...] Coming home has been so exciting for all of us, though. The kids hug me and greet me with pictures and stories and just chat away until they run out of steam and fall asleep, then I head to my computer to try to get caught up on the work I didn’t have time to do while traveling. Next week I’m headed to Dallas, Houston, Austin, and Oklahoma City. I’d love to meet you if you live in any of those areas. Click here for more details. [...]
CAN’T WAIT TILL YOU MAKE IT TO AUSTIN NEXT WEEK!! ME & MY GIRLS ARE SO LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU. I EXPLAINED TO THEM TONIGHT THAT YOUR RECIPES END UP AS MEALS ON OUR TABLE. THEY’RE EXCITED NOW TOO.

Thank goodness you made it to Houston
You were off Memorial, which is about an hour from me and on a Monday night, makes it hard to get there in time -but thanks to my wonderful mother she drove down and met you and picked up your cookbook for me. She told me I must wait till Christmas to thumb through it and ear mark my favorite recipes
I have hopes that she will grow tired of looking at my “pouty face” and give in early
* big grin*
I made the Pizza Rolls Friday night and they were delicious- my family loves them and my husband is asking for more to take to work for lunches during the week. Thanks for all the wonderful stories that go along with the wonderful recipes!

I’m so proud for you! The TODAY SHOW !! I can say “I knew her when….”
Good Luck!! I will have make sure I mark my calendar.

Hi, I just love your book! I got mine at Walmart here in Gaffney S.C. How can I get a signed book plate for my book? You and your family are just Awesome!
You deserve every minute of every tv show. If Paula Deen can be onJay Leno last night, you can be there also. I would love to see you on David Letterman and teach him to cook something for his young son or bring Brady to teach his son how to do a dish… idea?
YAY!!!! I’ll be watching!!
Hope you come to Wisconsin some time, love your recipes and stories. Congrats on your today show taping!
Living in Ohio, I know most of your appearances are in the south. I so love your book, couldn’t wait for it to come out. Will be great to see you on the today show!

Wish you were coming here to so california. I would love to meet ya in person. =)
I don’t watch those shows much, but, you know, methinks I’m going to set up the DVR for that one!!! So very proud for you, Cristy!
Boston, MA can always be an option…
I am going to call first thing in the morning and try to get a ticket for the Today Show. I have cooked nothing but recipes from your book and every one has been a big hit. Seeing you would be the best Christmas present, and having you sign my book would be unbelieveable. When you come up to NY in December could you also bring some of your beautiful southern weather? Please keep your recipes and pictures and stories of your beautiful family coming, reading you everyday has become a n enjoyable daily habit.
The Today Show!……..Coolness!!!!
So are you going to stay for the ball drop in Times Square? Congrats on being on the Today Show. I will have to make sure I Tivo it. Still waiting for the book to get to CO. Maybe it will make it across the MS River one day.

Wonderful….I always told my girls when they were little…”Good things come to those who do good!!” Enjoy my friend…Enjoy!!!
WOOOOO HOOOOOO the Today Show that is AWESOME!!!!!!! Hoping that the whole Family gets to join in on the fun. So Happy for you.
Congrats for your Dec. 29th booking!!!
Christy, that is fantastic, and I’m so happy for you and happy that the SP family will be able to see you on TV. In spite of the fact that you have gained celebrity status, we know that you will still be the same sweet, southern Alabama girl that we have all come to love. Even though many of us have never met you in person, we still feel that we “know” you. Congratulations!!
I wish you were coming on tour to Orlando. I’ll bet the kids would love to see Disney. Love your cookbook.
Being on the Today show is “walking in tall cotton.” I am trying to sound southern. LOL. I live in southern Ohio.
Yay, Christy!! The Today Show will be blessed to have you, and we’ll be watching proudly from down south! (take your kids ice skating at Rockefeller Center!! It’s fun plus they will recognize it from movies and TV!)
As I said in the comments above, I’ll be there and I am looking forward to seeing you again!!! Holler if you need any help!
[...] about to fly into Birmingham, AL for a booksigning tonight. After the booksigning I’m driving on home to good old Huntsville again. There really [...]
I’m coming tonight (in Birmingham) with my 5 copies of your cookbook! Love your recipes and stories!
I am looking forward to your appearance on the Today show. I have enjoyed your cookbook and website. Best Wishes!
I purchased your book for the wonderful recipes. I will cherish your book for the wonderful sense of family that you write with each recipe. My family has always been scattered and I feel I have a true family now. I can’t wait to send this book to my daughter for Christmas or Thanks giving or tomorrow. Thank you again Barbara
I know we’re not considered completely southern, but you should make your way up towards St.Louis
I love St Louis and have never been, would love to! If the right opportunity presents itself (if I can afford to, in other words!) I would jump at the chance!
Gratefully,
Christy

I will be at the live taping in NYC! (Gods willing) I can’t wait too seeeee youuuu!!!!!
Christy, I live in Owens Cross Roads, Al. I’m really enjoying your posts and am looking forward to trying lots of your recipes. We’re having our Thanksgiving dinner today, and I’ve got my turkey cooking in the bag right now, and I’m fixing to put my cornbread dressing in the crock-pot, thank you very much! I hope to make it to your book signing in Huntsville on the 19th of Dec. Thanks for all your hard work.
When will you be coming back to Baldwin or Mobile County in Alabama. I have grown to be a huge fan of your site and I cannot wait to be able to get the cookbooks! My husband adores your banana pudding recipe.
