Christy’s Q&A With You
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
I had a lot of fun this past weekend when I got a wild hair and decided to see if any of our Facebook Family members had questions they’d like me to answer. I then did a series of live videos answering them and posted them all on Facebook. Y’all were so sweet in your responses so I thought I’d post them here as well, in case anyone else was curious!
This ended up being a LOT of fun for me! There are five videos total and I put a summary below each one of what questions I answered.
The one recipe that I’ve never been able to find, my kitchen staples, Poke Sallet, best recipes for cooking with preschool aged children.
Mama answers one of your questions! What is my dream job?
Plans for Southern Plate, suggestions for stocking your pantry, what I have on hand at all times, substituting Splenda.
How I store my dry goods, my favorite coating for fried fish, School lunch ideas, and the story of how I met my husband. 🙂
Advice for cooking for just one, using lard, my preferred shortening, advice on whether it is best to self publish a cookbook or go with a publisher, Would you ever consider doing a cookbook featuring crock pot meals?
Information about how I made my canister set, more on the shortening that I love, and the Southern Plate Basket.
I really had fun doing these videos and getting to chat with y’all! I’m very much a people person (big shocker there) and the interaction here felt like we were visiting with each other. I’d love to do this again so keep your eye on my Facebook page and next time I get a chance I’ll open it up for questions again and post more live video answers!

Great videos. I’ve been looking for Ideal because I’ve heard so much about it, but can’t find any. Looks like Amazon is the place to look. Thanks for the tip.
You are just a doll!! I love the videos and look forward to many more. You do make me feel like you are talking to me and I wish that I was there with you. This is what Facebook is all about-keeping in touch with friends.
I check amazon frequently, hoping the delivery date for your cookbook has been changed to even sooner. I know that it will be great!
Blessings,
Pam
Love the videos….I felt like I was sitting at your kitchen table talking to me…..Keep up the good work!
It was a nice “visit” time.. only thing that woulda made it better is if we were all together on the front porch drinking sweet tea.
Thanks, Christy for talking about lard, and teaching me something I didn’t know about Smucker’s. I am a religious buyer of JIF peanut butter, and Smucker’s grape jam for PB&J’s, which is what my kids practically what my kids live off of.
I used to use shortening in my biscuits, (and I heard my grandmother roll in her grave every time!), but when all the hydrogenated and trans fat stuff came out in the news, I just decided that I’d go back to using good ol’ natural lard. My biscuits are fluffier and bake up crisper on the bottom. I’ve even used it for greasing pans when I’ve been out of oil or shortening.

Kathie – Hi Christy, I haven’t commented here before but have to tell you that I love your site. My favorite part (besides all the funny stories) is how you show a picture of all the ingredients for a recipe gathered together first and then photograph each step of the recipe. Do you plan to put this much detail into your cookbook? Thanks so much for being such a caring, sharing lady!
