Show me the money!

From the Kitchen of Christilisa Updates

When I started this Substack, I had no idea what I wanted for it. I knew I wanted to help people tell more stories-the questions was how? As time has passed, I’ve had various forms of writing here about things I enjoy. With every post, I wasn’t sure my point was getting across. After much thought, I’m moving to a more essay structured format. I want y’all to understand, whatever stories I decide to share, how they impact my life personally so you may see how they can impact your life as well.

The goal is to have a weekly post. Each week will cover one of the following:

• Cookbook review

• Book review (fiction to nonfiction- various genres)

• An Alabama recipe along with some history

• A random topic I feel compelled to talk about

I have also decided to finally go paid. In addition to the four post, you will receive two additional posts a month.

• One post will focus on a menu created from the cookbook featured along with the recipes and thoughts about the prep process.

• The second post will expand upon the other free post with author interviews, music playlist, giveaways, and more.

You can subscribe for $7/month or $75/year. There is also an option of being a founding member where in addition to the above, you will get a copy of every cookbook and book reviewed (they may be digital and/or physical copies) and an additional post named, Modern Tradition. This will be my family recipes the traditional way and also a modern take on that recipe or ingredient. I have the price set at $750 but you can choose the amount you would like to pay as long as it is greater than $75.

If you can’t afford to go paid, that’s okay. Being a free subscriber lets me know that this writing thing isn’t for nothing and you can also Buy Me A Book to support me in my writing journey. I have a massive cookbook buying habit and you can help it along ;). You can also subscribe to my Buy Me A Coffee, where I share the behind the scenes of becoming a full time writer in not only the nonfiction world but also fiction. I’m also on MSN. Most of my posts from here post there but I will be sharing more evergreen content on that platform. Follow me!

Y’alls’ support means everything to me. I appreciate every one of you and thank you until infinity for enjoying my writing.

Until next time,
