Christy Jordan

My name is Christy and I like to feed people.

My love of feeding good folks good food led to me starting Southern Plate, a website dedicated to teaching classic Southern dishes through step by step photos, mixed with a few stories from my life and the folks who raised me. In it's second year, Southern Plate had over 43 million page views, and a following of some awfully nice people who became my Southern Plate Family. I thank the good Lord for them each and every day.

I'm a wife and mother of two and I've lived in North Alabama all of my life. My Southern roots run deep, with my "people" (as we call our ancestors) moving to Alabama before it was even a state. I was raised by some of the best people in the world who taught me that life is good, homecooking is best, and there is always something to be grateful for.

After being blessed with a successful career as a cookbook author, blogger, and tv personality, the Father made a way for me to hand down Southernplate to the wonderful family who runs it now in 2020 and focus full time on helping people read the whole Bible for themselves. My new site is Seeking Scripture, where I write Bible studies, articles of encouragement, and more. We currently have over 50,000 people reading through the Bible each day together in our discussion group and I have written thousands of pages of notes on each and every chapter to help along the way. The Seeking Scripture family is made up of folks from all walks of the faith, but we are of one accord in what matters most.

Regardless of how you found me, I'm grateful you're here and I wish you a life rich with the blessings of food, family, wisdom, and shalom.
