Welcome to our meal planning session for the week. Here we are in February the month of love! It will be fun planning meals for this month as we have Super Bowl Sunday, Valentines Day, then we don't want to forget Madri Gras. That is a lot of amazing food cuisines to pack into such a short month. We will meet the challenge and have fun doing it!

  Welcome to Full Plate Thursday, 780! We are so excited to welcome you to our fun party to kick off the month of Love!  

This is one of my husbands favorite cookies as well as one of our most requested by close friends and family. 

Hello everyone, I am so excited to be sharing our meal planning session with you today. We are so grateful to report that we came through the storm and did not loose power one single time!

  Welcome to Full Plate Thursday, 779 with the Top Ten Features from last weeks party! It is our custom on our last party of the month, for our readers to choose the Top Ten Views from the  last party. We have some outstanding features for you to enjoy today!

  It is my pleasure to share one of our favorites here at the cottage. This recipe was originally printed in my cookbook, Miz Helen's Kitchen Table.

  If you are able to see this meal plan today, that means you still have power in the middle of what is supposed to be a really bad winter storm. We have been preparing for the storm for several days now and at this writing, we think we are ready. 

  Welcome to Full Plate Thursday 778, we are so happy that you are here today. We are so excited about presenting our features from last weeks party.

We love our Tex-Mex flavors here at the cottage. This is one of my go-to slow cooker recipes that I love.

  Hello everyone and welcome to our meal planning session for this week. I am all warm and cozy with a cup of hot chocolate and more than a few marshmallows! I have been looking at recipes to get some ideas of what we might want for this week, and so far it all looks so good. I promise to keep it balanced and not go to far over good healthy guidelines.

  Welcome to Full Plate Thursday, 777 what a great week it is going to be! It is so good to see you here today and I sure hope you enjoy the party!

  I placed my Apple Braised Beef Short Ribs on my meal plan for this week, which is a part of my weekly publication  Whats For Dinner Next Week, 776 .  We love this recipe and always serve it on top of my Old Fashioned Polenta. I just realized that I never did share the recipe for the polenta until I got a sweet note from a young homemaker asking for the recipe. Mary thank you so much for asking for the recipe so that I could share with all of you!

It is really good to see you here with us today. Meal planning is a fun time for me, it lets me be very creative about what I serve my family and friends.

  Welcome to Full Plate Thursday, 776. I think the holidays are over, we seem to be getting back to our normal routine of living.
