I just got home from a little road trip to Savannah, Georgia, where I spent a day filming with Miss Paula Deen.

Deeply chocolate, moist, delicious, and simple to make!

Pin itOne of the things I enjoy doing above all others on Southern plate is taking those lost and nearly-lost recipes of days gone by and posting them in hopes of bringing them back from the brink of extinction. This is especially important to me in preserving our food heritage because our most cherished recipes [...]

Pin itGood Morning! I hope y’all are experiencing the first signs of spring wherever you are. If not, I hope you have at least set aside a little room for Springtime in your kitchen. We can always “force spring” by making some of our favorite sunshiney dishes! Today I’m bringing you a video of a [...]

Pin it I was fortunate enough to get to visit Canada a few years back and while there treated to the loveliest vision – my first real live slice of blueberry pie. Until then, I had only seen it on magazine covers and photographs in books. Mama and I used to talk about how good [...]

Pin it Back in my younger days, one of my favorite things to do with friends was head over to Shoney’s on Wednesday nights because that was the night where they served their breakfast buffet for dinner. To a teenager this was pure bliss – all of my favorite foods and no one had to [...]

Pin it Today I’m bringing you our very favorite recipe for pancakes. My husband and kids have declared these the best pancakes on earth and I have to agree that they are the best I’ve personally ever had, mostly thanks to buttermilk being one of the primary ingredients! I hope you’ll get a chance to [...]

I want to live in a barn. I always have…

Pin it These cinnamon rolls have power behind them – real power. You could pretty much get anything you wanted if you showed up toting a plate of these babies, warm with icing oozing down the side. Regardless of their power, though, I want you to try to use them only for good. Rather than [...]

Pin it Back in the old days (a whopping whole year ago) I tried not to let on when I was bringing you a recipe that I developed myself. I was afraid if y’all knew I had made it up, you wouldn’t want to try it! Now that we’ve settled in and become a big [...]

Pin it Today I’m really excited to share with you my very first experience using puff pastry. I’ve always been intrigued by the thought of using it but never really got around to trying it until now. So I thought I’d use my very first experience as a tutorial so you could all cook along [...]

Pin it My first memories of apple fritters come from a family trip to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee when I was about seven years old. Up until then, I’d never had them before but it was obvious that my parents were no strangers as they hunted down one particular restaurant just to partake of [...]

Pin it I first had this cake when I was eight years old. How I know my exact age when first trying it is something I’ll get to in a minute – hang on folks, we got a tangent coming on! When I was a little girl, my dad always bought us season tickets to [...]

Pin it Special thanks to Tina of Mommy’s Kitchen for letting me know that today is National Jelly Filled Doughnut Day! She even suggested I re-post this in honor of such a prestigious holiday. As I am working on a tutorial for tomorrow and didn’t have anything to post today, I decided to take her [...]

With Memorial day coming up, we’re all liable to have leftover buns. Rather than let them sit on the counter until they finally get thrown away, we’re going to turn them into a WOW dish

Pin it If you enjoy Southern Plate, please tell a friend! This is the second tutorial photographed at my new home. I just love photographing things in the sun room. Yesterday I opened a few windows out there and had the most wonderfully scented early summer breeze flowing through as I prepared this cake and [...]

Pin it With few exceptions, I don’t care for fast food. Fast food has no heart to it. Someone gets paid minimum wage to slap a microscopic meat patty on a bun and lower some fries in oil, add in a coke and charge $5. Voila, here’s your meal. Toss in a toy or small [...]

Pin it This morning I was making biscuits when my daughter announced that she wanted chocolate for breakfast. Hey, the gal is smart. Even at the tender age of three, she knows what she needs. As I mixed up my biscuit dough, I had one of those light bulb moments – chocolate gravy. Its one [...]

Pin it Today I’m bringing you another kid friendly recipe sure to please! I don’t know any child who doesn’t love hot chocolate, but very few who have gotten to make their own hot chocolate mix. This is a recipe from my first grade teacher, Mrs. Menotti. We made it as a class when I [...]
