Need The Southern Plate Cookbook By Christmas?
First off the good news: a lot of folks have the Southern Plate cookbook on their Christmas wish lists!
And now for the interesting news: lots of places are sold out! I know a lot of folks were going to Sam’s Club and Costco to get their books but now many are telling me their warehouse clubs no longer have any. Mine hasn’t had any for weeks and they had a few hundred to begin with. I’ve heard our local Costco is out as well and facebook comments from around the country are reporting the same.
If you’d like to get the book for Christmas, please go ahead and order it from an online bookseller today (Amazon has it for $14.48 right now with free shipping options) or check with your local bookstore and have them reserve you a copy to make sure you have it under your tree Christmas morning.
I’ve been overwhelmed with the reception the book has gotten and will always be grateful to you for that. I’ve read every single review on Amazon.com and you are all so very good to me, I love you dearly and am so blessed to have you in my life.
The Huffington Post chose Southern Plate as one of the ten best blogs to cookbooks!
If you live in the North Alabama area, I do hope you can come out this Sunday December 19th from 3-5 to the Barnes and Noble on Carl T Jones in Huntsville. We’ll be having a benefit book signing where a percentage of the proceeds will go to help Manna House, our local organization that helps feed those in need. There will be a free craft table for the kids to make ornaments and a cupcake decorating table as well. Cupcakes are $3.00 each and all of that money goes to Manna House also. Most of my family will be on hand, including my parents, and we’d all love to meet you. Of course, I’d be honored to sign your books if you’d like. For more information or to RSVP, please click here.

My husband surprised me with your cookbook yesterday while we were out shopping. He knows how frugal I am and I wanted to save $$ by just using your website recipes… BIG MISTAKE ! The Book is Wonderful! I read it all day and already gathering my grocery list for the new recipes that are not online that I must try NOW. Also love the family stories. MERRY CHRISTMAS and thanks for Great recipes.(My hushand benefits from the book too)
I am so glad you like the cookbook Jan. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!!
Thanks for the reminder, just got one for my NC-born-and-raised stepmom and thought of someone else who needs one! I have one already of course
I hope they all enjoy them Heather!! Merry Christmas!
Christy, I’ve purchased a grand total of seven of your cookbooks! I ordered one for myself before it was released. I love it! The recipes are delicious and the stories so sweet.
I rushed back to Amazon and ordered three more for gifts and realized that I needed even more! Last week I received an order from Amazon containing some video games and toys for Christmas gifts. My husband brought it inside and asked me, more cookbooks??
~giggles~ Thank you so much for your support Carol! Give that husband of yours a big ol HUG!
Good Morning, I have seen your cookbook at the Wal Mart in Montgomery and Books a Million in Prattville. I wasn’t allowed to get one so I bet somebody is getting one for Christmas! I made holly jollies yesterday, chocolate, peanuts and marshmellow cream, they tasted kind of like a goo goo candy bar! Have fun today!
Ohhh, I hope you are getting one! Merry Christmas!!
[...] ATTENTION SPOUSES! There is still time! Click here to make sure you have the Southern Plate Cookbook… [...]
I sure could use an ipad. My husband is always using his for Angry Birds. I could use mine for Southern Plate. Then he could stop playing that game long enough to enjoy a homecoooked meal.
~giggles~ Good Luck.
I absolutely ADORE you and your cookbook!! Who knew I could make apple butter, for heaven’s sake!! It is divine! My husband tasted it and about fell in the floor! Yours is the first cookbook I’ve ever cried through:) Maybe because I’m Southern, but more specifically because I have roots in Alabama and many recipes remind me of my deceased Grandmother….especially homemade divinity and peanut brittle at Christmastime! The cookbook is just beautiful and wonderfully written. I have purchased 4 for Christmas gifts from Amazon. Thanks for putting your heart into it! Can’t wait for your next one!!
Thank you so much Amy. While writing it I laugh and cried and laughed and cried. I am so glad you are enjoying it!!
So Glad to hear this. Think I will treat myself to this cookbook
I hope you enjoy it !! Merry Christmas!
I ordered a copy as a Christmas gift for my best friend but ended up reading it from cover to cover! I don’t know which I enjoyed more — the recipes or the stories to go along with them. I, too, cried through most of the book. My Grannie left us in September, 2009 and oh was I ever reminded of her when I was reading. My Grandparents were from Missouri but ended up in Pennsylvania when my Grandpa got a job up here in the ’60′s. Apparently you don’t ever leave your roots behind though… I can’t tell you how many times we had ham and beans with cornbread and fried potatoes or sausage gravy and biscuits at my Grandparents’ house. (Can you believe I know people who have NEVER had ham and beans? What’re they waiting for?!) Grannie also followed the “meat plus three” rule. As we were going out the door she would be sending leftovers home with us, all the while exclaiming, “Y’all don’t need to be rushing off” even if we’d been there all day!
Thanks, Christy, for sharing your recipes and stories with us. Now I have to go wrap this book up for Christmas before I decide to keep it for myself!
Hope, I am so glad that you enjoyed the cookbook. I hope your friend does as well! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!!
I pre-ordered mine in April, then remembered when it came out what was I thinking I had to get my girls one for Christmas so that was 2 more and now that ya’ll are talking I am thinking of about 4 to 6 Aunts I would like to treat this year to a special gift so here I go to Amazon and praying they will get here in time or shortly after and I can tell them they are on the way.
Aww Kay, that is so sweet of you ! Thank you and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
I went to get it at Barnes and Noble in Memphis just a little while ago, and they were also sold out. And that was what my sister wanted for Christmas!
Oh no, I am sorry to hear that. I hope you can find one.
Hi Christy, My cookbook came today. I love it. i love all of the stories and of course the recpes.
I am so glad you like it Vickie!! Merry Christmas.
Thank you for publishing this cookbook. These are the foods my grandmother cooked but never had her recipes written down. When we asked for them she would always say I don’t know its a little of this and a pinch of that. Also, my mother-in-law would never give her pound cake recipe out to anyone, (of course that would be my husband favorite cake) but last night I made Aunt Sue’s pound cake (the story of pulling the crust off was a given it had to be a close match to hers) let’s just say it didn’t come out of the oven until 9 pm last night and it is 3/4 gone. I think I found her secret. I haven’t found a recipe yet that wasn’t a hit. I love all of your family stories. Reading them I feel like at my own family get together.
Merry Christmas!!
Thank you so much Lisa! I am so glad you are enjoying the cookbook. I hope you have a Merry Christmas too!!
Hey Christy. I was just wondering, for us folks living too far away to get to a book signing, is there any way to get an autographed copy?

Hi Christy!
I got your cookbook for Christmas from my boyfriend and was so excited, he knows I love to make things from your website, so this was a great gift. Thanks so much for always posting recipes with pictures and simple steps, my mom is not a big cook so I knew nothing about cooking, but your blog makes it easy to learn! Just thought you might like to to know that you are basically teaching me how to cook! I love the line in your book about how no one is born a cook and that everyone can learn!
Thanks!
Leanne
I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying the cookbook. Give that man a big ole hug from me. I think he is a keeper!
Christy I just thumbed through your website, and WOW!I have been an Electrician for as long as I can remember, but my true passion is cooking. I will be ordering a copy of your cookbook in the next couple days. You have some awesome sounding recipes. I do believe we will be having oatmeal cookie pie for desert tomorrow night and possibly be making Carmel’s, yours sound just like the ones that my grandmother used to make. Keep up the good work. You are actually inspiring me to take my cookbook idea a lil more serious.
