About Kelsey Eaton and Southern Plate
Hey y’all, I’m Kelsey Eaton. My husband Tim and I own and run Southern Plate. We’re raising three young kids who already know a good plate of food when they see one. This is where we share the Southern recipes our family loves, so yours can enjoy them too.
Why Southern Food?
My love of Southern cooking started with my grandma. Her signature dishes were fried chicken and her “Peanut Butta Fudge,” and I still think about both. Those are the kinds of recipes that pull a family to the table. They’re the heart of what we share here.
A Little Southern Plate History
Christy Jordan founded Southern Plate in 2008, and it’s been twice named one of the top 25 food websites in the country. When Christy passed the reins, our family stepped in to keep that kitchen table going. We don’t take that lightly.
