Christy has since passed on the reigns and Southern Plate is now in the hands of the Eaton family who love, well yeah, you guessed it, eatin’. 😉
SouthernPlate has been twice named one of the top 25 food websites in the country, and draws millions of visitors each month.
I would like to join your Bible reading group but I don’t belong to Facebook. Do you have any other options?
Hey Cathy! I’m afraid that is the only option at this time. We go pretty deep in the notes each day and between researching and writing that and running this site I haven’t managed to have time to set up another website and figure out how to implement the Bible study there. Plus, the discussions work so well in the private Facebook group. Members share the most amazing insight each day! I would love for you to join us but if you prefer not to I understand. You can download the readings at the link below, but in the group we discuss the context, culture, and what was going on around each incident to really help it come to life. https://www.southernplate.com/fellowship
Christy, I enjoy your website, your recipes & the encouragement you bring by sharing your life. I have a question regarding your free printables. The Supper Planning Cheat Sheets has the all rights reserved, no redistribution without permission notice. Where do I go to ask for permission? I am part of a Bible study mentoring team which has a Bible study & a cooking segment. We will be including a session on meal planning & I would like to use this sheet. It is a small group with 5 students. I will be sharing your website with them
Thanks,
Kathy
hey! you go right here! 🙂 I happily give you permission to share copies of this with your group and any future groups like it. Thank you for asking!
Thank you, Christy
I can’t seem to find your latest Friday morning Chat – May 17th. I really cannot get up that early (maybe because I stay up reading until 2am!!) so I depend on the recorded version. What am I doing wrong that I can’t find it?
Hey! You’re not doing anything wrong at all. We were on vacation so I didn’t do one last Friday. I announced it on Facebook but didn’t really have a place to announce it here. I’ll be back this Friday though! Hope to see you then. 🙂
Hi there, I’ve been receiving your emails and reading your blog for years. Love the content and happy and kind culture you have created in your posts. Awhile back (around the holidays maybe?) I read about a post or video that you were going to tell us about your camper/motor home decision and why you switched gears on that at the last possible minute. I’ve looked and looked on the website but can’t find that post anywhere. If you have time, can you please let me know where to find that content? Thanks so much! 🙂
Hey Kelly! I have been trying to post that for a while now but we’ve had round after round of sickness and then when we feel better I order one more thing to decorate the RV before I do it! Today, I’m picking up a framed cross stitch piece that my mother made us for it and as soon as I get that hung up and get my voice back I hope to do a video tour 🙂
Yay! I thought I missed it or something. I’m glad I didn’t. I’m so curious to hear all about it. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Feel better soon.
Christy: I so enjoy your website. The pictures are spectacular, very well done. And the recipes, where do I begin? Thank you for offering your wholesome values. You are a blessing to all of us.
please UNSUBSCRIBE this e mail
you’ve never been subscribed so this was the easiest wish I’ve granted today 🙂
Lol! This one made me chuckle!! I just love your personality & positive attitude, Christy!!
Hi Christy! I have been enjoying your recipes for years. Your crock pot dressing has been making me look good for a long time, and learning to boil ground beef in large batches was life changing! (Now I do something similar with my instant pot) 🙂 I was so extremely happy to find that you are one of the sponsors of the Door Keepers Conference organized by Anne Elliot. Small world! I think we may have some things in common. Thank you for your your website/blog/recipes and for being “real” with your readers. I have enjoyed and hopefully will continue to enjoy your Southern Plate. Shalom Christy! Debbie Ingle, from Georgia
Hi Christy, I’m Denise; I was looking over your website at all your foods and desserts, as well as various other dishes, Your foods look so very fresh, my mouth was watering! Anyways, I wanted to know whether your Company accepts EBT, that’s for food stamps. I know some Online Companies that do have it …Such as Amazon, Schwan’s, Fresh Direct, there are some others. and you can buy your groceries at any time and for the month with your EBT debit card and Shipping is Free! The Trucks or UPS or USPS, etc. Delivers the products to your door. You know It would be a real blessing to those of us who cannot get out to the grocery market for whatever reasons, It would really be a big Help to others. Especially when your financial situation is strained. I’m not sure you would consider it. However, I know that it would come as a big blessing to those who are without. Besides, Your foods are Fresh and look Delicious! I’m sure you have a large Clientele of Customers now…But, the possibilities can be endless. I am also a gifted Writer/Poet, My God-given talents I can write Articles and Commercials, ads. God Bless You and Your Family Christy. May God continue to make You Prosperous! God Bless. Denise
Hey Denise! I’m so grateful for our EBT system that helps out so many. My great grandmother relied on it a great part of her life, despite how hard she worked, she just couldn’t make enough on her own to make ends meet. All of my recipes are free here on the site and I don’t offer anything beyond recipes so I don’t see how I would make use of EBT but I do hope folks of all walks find the recipes helpful to their meal planning.
