Get My New Book! Come Home To Supper
Today I’m excited to share my new “baby” with you, Come Home To Supper!
I poured my heart and soul into this book and I’m so excited about what I am able to offer you with it! You know, all around us you hear folks tell you how important it is to sit down to supper with your family each night. They tell us that but they don’t give us the tools to do it. I set out to write the book that changes all of that.
These are the suppers I make for my family. They don’t require a lot of time in the kitchen and they certainly don’t require a large grocery budget. They’re kid-friendly and in most cases easily customizable for your own dietary needs and preferences.
The thing that bothers me about the food world today is that sometimes it seems we have entire channels dedicated to teaching folks how to cook the perfect filet mignon while we’re sitting at home trying to come up with one more thing to do with a pound of ground beef. Filet mignon is great, but what we really need to know is how to keep a family of four fed and happy.
In this book, you’ll find a whole slew of ground beef recipes that will work for those long days when you leave in the morning and won’t be back until just before suppertime. You’ll see plenty of recipes for the slow cooker, as well as tips and tricks for buying and using this workhorse appliance. You’ll find lots of one-dish casseroles, skillet meals, and things you can make ahead of time, and you’ll also find recipes and suggestions for pulling off the bigger meals as well. I’ve made sure to include plenty of chicken dishes, too, because from speaking to you I found that it is the meat served more often than any other in your homes. And you’ll find plenty of recipes for pork, other cuts of beef, seafood, and a generous helping of simple sides. Dinner breads and make-ahead desserts round it all out.
I’ve also added a generous helping of stories and quotes to encourage you along the way, more so in this book than in anything I’ve published before.
I set out to write the one cookbook that I myself would use the most when it came to planning suppers for my family— I hope you’ll find it as useful as I intended it to be. Please keep in mind, though, that the recipes in this book and the meals you and I make are really just a tool to bring our families and friends together.
Because, at the end of the day, the supper table is where we teach our families where they came from and they let us know where they hope to go. Values, heritage, history, dreams, and encouragement are passed around with the serving platters and roots grow a little deeper with each bite. We may have high hopes and aspirations when we set off into the world each morning, but if you really want to make the world a better place, end the day by coming home to supper.

What I love about this book:
- Instead of just telling you how important it is to Come Home To Supper, I give you the tools, tips, and tricks to make it easy!
- It’s Affordable! – This book is being printed as a high quality paperback that Workman is known for, and being paperback makes it FAR more affordable for everyone to buy and give as gifts (Christmas will be here before you know it!). It is also available as an Ebook. Most online retailers are selling it for just a little over $10.00!
- More Stories! Â – I really poured my heart into this book, sharing more stories of life and encouragement than I’ve ever shared in a publication before. Also included are quotes and sidebars throughout the book to bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart.
- Exclusive recipes – Over 200 recipes offer endless combinations of supper ideas. I spent two years developing many new recipes for this book, too! Easy on the wallet, simple to make, and all around family pleasing, I can’t wait for you to see them!
- Menus – You said you wanted ’em! I’ve got ’em! Included in this book are lots and lots of menu ideas, from weeknight suppers to Sunday dinners, making it easier than ever to put a meal together. Just make your list, head to the grocers, and Come Home To Supper!
- From Scratch Options – I love shortcuts but sometimes we want to make a dish from scratch instead. Whether it be for dietary reasons, because we don’t have something on hand, or to save a few pennies, this book offers many recipes with shortcut and from scratch options, with recipes for both.

Good morning, Christy!
I spent some time this weekend watching you open your new book on video(twice,lol).
I had to share it with my husband of over 24 years. *grins*
What a God-send such a book is- a way to reach out to neighbors who won’t come to church but will come to supper, a way to send a loving reminder of what’s important to grown nieces while also encouraging them in their new independent lives.
And with out younger child getting ready to graduate from college, and Christy, God has sent him the most *wonderful* mature young woman that he has ordered a RING for (actually, he ordered both rings custom made together).
Well, Christy, this book has come at just the right time.
She is a FACS major and comes from a home like ours- budget minded enough to save the bones to make your own broth, lol. (Her momma uses chicken feet! so I know we are going to be down home kindred spirits 🙂
They are extremely budget minded and want to share the cooking and meal making once they are wed, so this book will make a perfect gift for them for Christmas.
Thank you so much for what you do.
We all need the reminder to slow down a moment, remember what’s important, be grateful, be loving, be mindful.
God’s Blessings, Christy!
Just placed my order for 6 of your books with B&N! One for myself and 5 for gifts! (my first Christmas presents bought this year!) I hope I get the signed copies! I love your emails and website and wanted to share your recipes with my sisters, sister-in-law and my daughter, who is in her first year of living on her own and learning to cook! Thanks for the wonderful recipes!
To get in on your “first day” sales 🙂 I just placed my Christmas gift order of 10 of your new cookbook!!! I am so excited to get to share your fabulous recipes and life stories with all the girls in my family!!! It will be a fabulous Christmas for sure and they (and their families) will be eating yummy after Christmas. I can’t wait to get them!!!
Oh my goodness, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!
That’s ten 🙂 I sure do appreciate it sooo much and hope you feel my heart when you read it 🙂
Rest assured I will be buying this book. Anytime I take a dish to a family gathering they ask if it’s a Christy recipe because they know I am such a fan. Over 50% of everything I cook is one of your recipes from Southern Plate and my family thanks you. I have laughed and cried with you more times than I can count.
(Mostly laughed!) I have lived in the South all my life and your values -love for God and family-ring genuine and mirror my own. Thank you for sharing your values as well as your recipes.
Oh my goodness, you just made my day Jettie!! ~HUGS~
I am so glad you are enjoying the recipes and love sharing them with your family and friends!!
