I’m working on filling up my bacon grease jar today so I followed my mother’s advice and decided to make her breakfast pizza, starring bacon. In it’s original form, this recipe could feed an army. Literally. Mama made it on those mornings my dad or brother had friends over getting ready to go fishing, camping, [...]
I love it when my in-laws come to visit. My kids get to spend time with their grandparents, my husband gets to spend time with his parents, we all get to hang out and catch up, and I get more people to cook for. Of course, its that last part that I like the most. [...]

Today I’m at the WeBlog conference, sponsored by The Discovery Channel. I am stunned at how much I am learning and having a wonderful time, although I already miss the kids! The good news is, I’m going home tomorrow so I’ll just be away from them two nights (thank goodness). Hope you are all having [...]
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 [...]
Flat Christy returned earlier this week in a box filled with goodies! She had a miniature lei wrapped around her neck and a big silly grin on her face. After seeing all of the beautiful pictures and reading about her adventures with the Green family in Hawaii, I’m kinda surprised she came back at all! [...]
I have longed to bring you this casserole ever since I started Southern Plate. Longed. Yearned. Ached. Why haven’t I? Because of two reasons: 1. It’s kinda ugly 2. The ingredients are weird. In fact, there is one really odd ingredient (in my opinion) but don’t worry, no one will have a clue that its [...]
Good 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 brunch [...]
As much as I love Texas, you’d think I’d been there more than once. You’d think I’d spent that one trip doing more than staying in my hotel and going to one mall. If you knew how much I loved Texas, you’d swear I had family there (besides my adopted Brother in insanity, Bill Gent) [...]
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 get up [...]
Today’s post has been mulling around in my head for a few months now and it was all I could do to wait until today to write it. I had this neat idea a while back when I was thinking about how much I would love to get to visit some of y’all. I got [...]
I’ve been on a real dinner kick lately in the recipes I’ve been bringing you, which can only mean one thing: I’m about to get on a dessert kick for a while! You know, more organized bloggers would bring you a meal idea, followed by a dessert idea, followed by a bread and so on. [...]
Have you ever sat back and thought of what you would do differently if you ever came into some serious money? Mama used to do that a lot when we were little. She’d talk about how, if she ever won the lottery, she’d buy us all a house and a new car for each person. [...]
We had an interesting start to a wonderful weekend. With both my birthday and Valentines so close together, I decided to surprise my family by renting a large cabin in the Smoky Mountains. I invited my brother and sister in law, their two children, and my mother and father in law for a big old [...]

Chicken Lettuce Wraps made the easy way and the inexpensive way – at home!
Today I’m bringing you a much beloved recipe from the South. From what I read and hear, it isn’t nearly as popular outside of our little geographic region as it is here, but folks in these parts consider it a staple in every home! Long before the days of snack cakes and convenience foods, Pimento [...]

This past weekend I came across ground beef in five pound packages for $6.25. A few years back I would have considered that expensive but these days it is at least four dollars cheaper than what I normally pay. I did good, though, I only bought twenty pounds. I say that is good because last [...]
My Family Today I want to bring you a great recipe recycling leftovers into a delicious new dish, but I also want to share my heart with you a little bit and I know you’ll indulge me like you always do. For many of us, times are more difficult now than we can remember them [...]
A member of our Southern Plate Family asked me if I’d put more slow cooker meals on the website with fall coming up. When she posted this on the Southern Plate Family Facebook Page, my wheels started spinning. Who doesn’t love being able to put a meal on the table with a slow cooker? With [...]
My Grandaddy loved stews and soups. He had a special bowl that he liked to eat stew out of and Grandmama always served him in that bowl. I do much the same thing with my coffee, even though I know it may seem a bit silly. One of my favorite things to do is get [...]
