Need The Southern Plate Cookbook By Christmas?
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
First off the good news: a lot of folks have the Southern Plate cookbook on their Christmas wish lists!
And now for the interesting news: lots of places are sold out! I know a lot of folks were going to Sam’s Club and Costco to get their books but now many are telling me their warehouse clubs no longer have any. Mine hasn’t had any for weeks and they had a few hundred to begin with. I’ve heard our local Costco is out as well and facebook comments from around the country are reporting the same.
If you’d like to get the book for Christmas, please go ahead and order it from an online bookseller today (Amazon has it for $14.48 right now with free shipping options) or check with your local bookstore and have them reserve you a copy to make sure you have it under your tree Christmas morning.
I’ve been overwhelmed with the reception the book has gotten and will always be grateful to you for that. I’ve read every single review on Amazon.com and you are all so very good to me, I love you dearly and am so blessed to have you in my life.
The Huffington Post chose Southern Plate as one of the ten best blogs to cookbooks!
If you live in the North Alabama area, I do hope you can come out this Sunday December 19th from 3-5 to the Barnes and Noble on Carl T Jones in Huntsville. We’ll be having a benefit book signing where a percentage of the proceeds will go to help Manna House, our local organization that helps feed those in need. There will be a free craft table for the kids to make ornaments and a cupcake decorating table as well. Cupcakes are $3.00 each and all of that money goes to Manna House also. Most of my family will be on hand, including my parents, and we’d all love to meet you. Of course, I’d be honored to sign your books if you’d like. For more information or to RSVP, please click here.
I ordered a copy as a Christmas gift for my best friend but ended up reading it from cover to cover! I don’t know which I enjoyed more — the recipes or the stories to go along with them. I, too, cried through most of the book. My Grannie left us in September, 2009 and oh was I ever reminded of her when I was reading. My Grandparents were from Missouri but ended up in Pennsylvania when my Grandpa got a job up here in the ’60’s. Apparently you don’t ever leave your roots behind though… I can’t tell you how many times we had ham and beans with cornbread and fried potatoes or sausage gravy and biscuits at my Grandparents’ house. (Can you believe I know people who have NEVER had ham and beans? What’re they waiting for?!) Grannie also followed the “meat plus three” rule. As we were going out the door she would be sending leftovers home with us, all the while exclaiming, “Y’all don’t need to be rushing off” even if we’d been there all day!
Thanks, Christy, for sharing your recipes and stories with us. Now I have to go wrap this book up for Christmas before I decide to keep it for myself!
Hope, I am so glad that you enjoyed the cookbook. I hope your friend does as well! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!!
So Glad to hear this. Think I will treat myself to this cookbook 🙂
I hope you enjoy it !! Merry Christmas!
I absolutely ADORE you and your cookbook!! Who knew I could make apple butter, for heaven’s sake!! It is divine! My husband tasted it and about fell in the floor! Yours is the first cookbook I’ve ever cried through:) Maybe because I’m Southern, but more specifically because I have roots in Alabama and many recipes remind me of my deceased Grandmother….especially homemade divinity and peanut brittle at Christmastime! The cookbook is just beautiful and wonderfully written. I have purchased 4 for Christmas gifts from Amazon. Thanks for putting your heart into it! Can’t wait for your next one!! 🙂
Thank you so much Amy. While writing it I laugh and cried and laughed and cried. I am so glad you are enjoying it!!
Good Morning, I have seen your cookbook at the Wal Mart in Montgomery and Books a Million in Prattville. I wasn’t allowed to get one so I bet somebody is getting one for Christmas! I made holly jollies yesterday, chocolate, peanuts and marshmellow cream, they tasted kind of like a goo goo candy bar! Have fun today!
Ohhh, I hope you are getting one! Merry Christmas!!
Christy, I’ve purchased a grand total of seven of your cookbooks! I ordered one for myself before it was released. I love it! The recipes are delicious and the stories so sweet.
I rushed back to Amazon and ordered three more for gifts and realized that I needed even more! Last week I received an order from Amazon containing some video games and toys for Christmas gifts. My husband brought it inside and asked me, more cookbooks??
~giggles~ Thank you so much for your support Carol! Give that husband of yours a big ol HUG!
Thanks for the reminder, just got one for my NC-born-and-raised stepmom and thought of someone else who needs one! I have one already of course 🙂
I hope they all enjoy them Heather!! Merry Christmas!
My husband surprised me with your cookbook yesterday while we were out shopping. He knows how frugal I am and I wanted to save $$ by just using your website recipes… BIG MISTAKE ! The Book is Wonderful! I read it all day and already gathering my grocery list for the new recipes that are not online that I must try NOW. Also love the family stories. MERRY CHRISTMAS and thanks for Great recipes.(My hushand benefits from the book too)
I am so glad you like the cookbook Jan. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!!
