What You’ve Been Cookin’ – April 1, [year]

We just restocked the Southern Plate Online Store with more Southern Plate Canister Decal Sets. The last ones sold out in about twelve hours so I’m not sure how long these will stay in stock. Click here to head on over there now!

Today I’m happy to share another digest with you courtesy of our wonderful Southern Plate Facebook Family. I asked what they’d been cooking lately and here is what they said, complete with links to recipes. Please note, if a recipe is in red that means it is exclusive to the cookbook (not found online). If I forgot to link to a recipe you can find it by using the search box at the top right hand corner of Southern Plate. I linked as many as I could but after a few hours my eyes about started to cross :).

Thank you so much for being such a wonderful part of the Southern Plate Family and have a great weekend!

Gratefully,

Christy

Love all your recipes and your cookbook!

I thank God for giving us you…you are such a blessing.
