Watch the Southern Plate Cooking Show

Thanks to my husband for recording the Southern Plate Tailgating Cooking Show this past week at UNA. We divided it up into segments lasting a few minutes long each so you can start and stop as you have time. I cannot tell you how much fun I had! This was the first time I’ve ever done anything like that. I’d never been on a stage with a mic and I was worried I might get nervous but let me tell you, I walked out onto that stage with my Southern Plate family in the audience and I was instantly at home. I could do that every night and be happy!
Hope you enjoy it. I would love to hear back from you in the comments section!
Gratefully,
Christy

I had such a wonderful time doing this show, I hope you enjoy it. We had a break in between each segment where my dad and Brady went to the mic and gave away door prizes. Bradybug LOVED the microphone and took the opportunity to tell a few jokes and interact with the audience, that is why we’re all laughing a bit as we go back to the cooking each time.
Special thanks again to the HES students at UNA for all of their hard work. I’ve been asked a lot whether or not I will do more cooking shows like this and there is no way I could have pulled it off without the culinary students so y’all would have to get me a big old tour bus to take them all on the road!

What a great show! I wish I could have been there in person to see you. You looked right at home and not a bit nervous. This is just the beginning for you, Christy. I can only imagine that you will be the next great southern cook with a TV show of your own before it’s over. Here’s wishing you the best of luck with all you do in the future! Your sweet spirit and wonderful attitude of gratefulness is going to take you a long way.

I watched them all & loved it! It was like I was there…but without tasting all the good eats you made. Guess that means I’ll have to make them in my own kitchen to try them. 🙂
So glad I told you about the lipstick on your teeth! 🙂
Hi Christy!
Thanks for using some of my photos on your page–I am truly honored. We went on a Southern Plate cooking frenzy this weekend and I made the vinegar slaw, Jordan rolls and barbecue pork and another girl made the potato salad and yet another made caramel corn for a tailgate at church.
Needless to say all the dishes were a HIT with our folks~~keep ’em coming. We are faithful devotees of the Southern Plate kitchen! 🙂
WOW! Those are awesome! I am really happy for you. You did a terrific job and Brady was a hoot and a half. He was stealing your spotlight but that just makes it better.
I’m really excited for you and the direction all this is going. WOOHOO!
Wish you could have been there, Bill, it was so much fun!
Wish I could take it on the road and I’d come to TX with it! lol
Least I’ll be in TX, even without the show!
Wow, Christy! You took to the show like a natural. I can totally see you having your own cooking show. Way to go, girl! You have come so far and show no sign of stopping! Bravo!
Thank you so much Dana! I had so much fun doing that I actually felt guilty! lol Gratefully,
Christy
Hey Christy,
Hope you are having a good day. Again, I LOVED the UNA show. You are just a natural at this stuff. I have a question. Do you remember the man taking pictures at the book signing? Do you know if he was from UNA or the Florence paper or just who he was with? Since I was the first to get my booked signed he asked me my name and had taken some pictures getting it signed. Really would like to see those pics. He may have got others names too, but I figured it might show up in some kind of paper. Thanks and hope this month will not be too tireing for you. Maybe I’ll come see you in Huntsville!
Hey Angela! I know a reporter was there from the Times Daily and one from the UNA Alumni Association as well. I think the TImes Daily is doing an article this week on it and there will also be one in the Huntsville Times but that isn’t so much about the event. When I see the Times Daily one I’ll give you a holler!
Thank you SO MUCH For coming and making this so much fun for me!
Gratefully,
Christy
Angela,
He was from the Times Daily in Florence. I think he was taking those pictures for the Shoals Woman magazine b/c he took my pic with my friends and got our names. It will be in the next issue of Shoals Woman Magazine!
