Stuffed Pizza Sticks

These yummy pizza sticks are sure to score a touchdown!

Today I’m excited to bring you a guest post by the guy who I’m pretty sure is my long lost twin

Pin it I’m glad I got y’all to keep me up to date on important dates and such because if it wasn’t for you, I’d miss half of the big food events in any given year. Today’s example is Vicky, who informed me that there was a big football game this weekend when she asked [...]

Growing up, we lived just a few streets over from the Lincoln Park projects in Huntsville, Alabama…

Being in a mood for Mexican food, I worked up a slow cooker fiesta chicken that’ll have you doing the Mexican hat dance – if you know the Mexican hat dance. Umm, which I don’t.

At the first sign of chill in the air, BBQ joints around here start cranking out this delicious stew.

Pin itThis is going to be a semi-crazy and very fun week for me. I’m heading out for a week filled with book signings.

Pin it 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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Pin itSewanee, Tennessee is one of the most beautiful places in the South. Although I’ve only left the South twice in my life, were I better traveled I’m sure I’d say it was one of the most beautiful places in the entire world as well. Every time Mama and I drive through this town or [...]

Pin it 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 [...]

Pin it 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 [...]

Pin it 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 [...]

Pin it Most folks have never had to think about taking a photo of a casserole and I doubt few have spent the time I have wishing they were more photogenic. I guess it’s just a fact of life that casseroles aren’t pretty things, but they sure are good. This recipe came from Granny Jordan’s [...]

Pin itI’ve had a lot of people ask how the gardens are doing (you’re so sweet!). Stay tuned to my next post for an update on those and more goings on at Bountiful! This is one of my husband’s favorite meals and mine, too! The pork roast is so tender it falls off the bone [...]

Pin it I’m bringing you a little treasure which I discovered buried among our belongings at the old house this past weekend. This is a recipe of Granny Jordan’s, whom I’ve mentioned here several times before – and if you haven’t tried her frozen cranberry banana salads, you’ve lived a wasted life. (Sorry to break [...]

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 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 And Practically Free! This morning, I was thinking about my great grandmother, Lela, and what she’d think about all of today’s technology. She lived a great deal of her life without electricity. When they needed their kids to come in for dinner, it was just a matter of ringing a bell or calling [...]
