GETTING TO MEET CHRISTY JORDEN

While down  in Nashville, Tn. my son and I went to the book fair that Nasville had this year in Oct. While there we got to go and here Christy Jorden of Southern Plate speak as well as sign her new cookbook that has just came out and has some great recipes in it.
Let me tell you this lady is going to make a hit in the cooking world. She is really a very sweet and kind person. She is laid back and just a southern lady who loves to cook like all of us. What will make her  a go is how she is just so friendly. She had her mom with her and she is also a nice person. What really amazed me is what she said. She was telling about how her son ask her is she was going to be rich by selling her cookbooks and maybe getting her own cooking show. This is what her reply to him was. We are already rich. We have a home, shoes to wear, food on our table and all of us healthy and a car to drive. We already have all we need.
So that just shows you what kind of mom she is. She said it took her at least 10 hours a day to work on her blog. As she has a family she had to divide her time with everything us women have to do as well as try to take care of her blog and that is something in itself as it takes a long time to type up the recipes and take pictures.
We ask her what kind of flour she used for her Jorden rolls and she said she used the Southern Biscuit flour with the Blue Star yeast that you find in the jar. I ask her mom what kind of cornmeal they use and she said Martha White Cornmeal Mix. So if you can find her cookbook buy it. She has some great recipes in it. One of my favorite one is the Thousand Island dressing. Another one of course is her Jorden Rolls. Also the white BBQ sauce is good to. So beg for one for Christmas. I am so glad my son got me and my daughter one as they are selling so fast. Sam's club and Amazon has them now. Her book is No. 2 in the region now on Amazon I think.
 While at Sam's I also found another new cookbook that is good. It was called Fix It And Forget It Chirstmas (or may be Holiday) Recipes.  I just love to get my hands on a new cookbook.
