Happy Birthday to the Southern Plate Cookbook!
Today marks the one year anniversary of the official release of my book, and what a wonderful year it has been! I really put my heart into this book and I am so very grateful to everyone who has taken it into their homes and made a place for it in their hearts as well. I cannot thank you enough for your kind words and support. I am so very blessed to have you as part of the Southern Plate Family!
In honor of today, I thought I’d share a couple of videos. The first is me talking a little bit about the book, with some cute appearances by my kids (not that I’m biased ~wink~), and the second is the video of me seeing my book for the first time and sharing that experience with you!

I’ve gotten to travel around the country, do lots of fun local and national tv appearances, and even film with Paula Deen (whose quote appears on the cover of my book). It’s been a fun ride but I can’t imagine having taken it without you!
Here are some fun posts from last year around the time my book debuted:
- The day my book went on sale, I held a little Scavenger hunt in my hometown of Huntsville, Alabama. Click here for that post.**
- My very first book signing **
- A few photos from my cooking show at UNA last year (with links to watch videos)**
**See important note at bottom of post

So I think I need to celebrate today.
I feel like I should make a cake but more importantly I’d love to celebrate with you.
If you have the book, please leave a comment below
(If you don’t have the book, I’d still love to hear from ya!)
Tell me your favorite recipe or story from the book or if there was something in particular that struck a chord with you.
I’d love for you to share your heart with us in the comments!
Maybe we should sing…
**Important Note: Please note that all dates at the bottom of these posts are from last year. I’m not doing a tour this year but I’d love for you to come to my Holiday Cooking show in Muscle Shoals, Alabama on November 10! We’re so excited about this year’s Holiday Cooking Show. It will feature a marketplace you can walk through ahead of time to browse, shop, and try all sorts of wonderful samples. After that, everyone will come into the auditorium for my cooking show and DOOR PRIZES GALORE! The great thing about this show is that after I finish preparing each item on stage, the UNA Culinary students will be coming out in the audience to give everyone a sample of what I just made! So we’ll visit, laugh, eat, laugh some more, and just have a wonderful evening together. This year also adds a child’s ticket price as well so bring the kiddies because I’ve got some special surprises in store for them! This is the only cooking show I’ll be doing so make plans to come on out and be sure and purchase your tickets today by clicking here. This is entirely a volunteer effort. All proceeds benefit the University of North Alabama HES Department.
I love my Southern Plate Cookbook. I use it all the time and the recipes have become family favorites! Can’t wait for your next book Christy!
I do not have the cookbook YET. It is the only thing I have asked for my birthday next month. Can’t wait. Love SP!
I bought your cookbook on hearing about it word of mouth. Oh my gosh, I read it like I would a novel and enjoyed every minute of it. Some the stories brought the most wonderful memories of food and family to my memory. My mother and grandmother were grand Southern cooks and the cookbook made me feel they were close by. And the food…..YUMMY! My 16 you grandson loves the food from the cookbook and tells me to cook something from that South book,with the good food in it quite often

Have your book and am excited about your next one. Love your web site.
I got your book at the library and started to read it. I was only a chapter in and knew I had to own it. So I bought it and finished reading it and best of all cooking from it. I am a northern girl with the tastebuds of a southern girl. I made the chocolate cobbler first off and my family all gave me the thumbs up. All 6 of them. Since then I have been cooking away from your book and have a very happy family. Maybe I can get them to all move to the south? Thank you so much for your inspiration. I love the blog and your web site.
Christy,
I probably have over 100 cookbooks. When I bought yours, it immediately became my cookbook “bible”. I love it. I have taken some of your recipe dishes to church and have been asked for the recipe. I “fess” up and give you credit. Sometimes I feel like I should get a royalty from the sale of your cookbook because I have recommended it to so many ladies who have bought it. Thanks for a great cookbook!!!
Christy-
Watching your video actually made me tear up!! I love that you have an amazing way of making me feel like a long lost relative whenever I read a post, or watch a video! I get so excited for you, and when you say something about your children, or tell a story about something Katy Rose said- I’m telling my Momma- “Hey, listen to this…”, it’s like I know you. I don’t have the cook book YET- I’ve made it well known around my house that I would very much love a copy (we have an anniversary coming up, so I’m holding off on buying it myself!). Most importantly- you keep the memory of MY Grandmother with me- for this I thank you the most. <3
