Full Plate Thursday Background Story
When we were young and just starting out in life sometimes we did not have a lot of money. Most of our friends were having to stretch the dollars at the end of the month just like us. My girlfriends and I decided that we would pool our food for some of the evening meals right before payday... the last week of the month. I have some of the fondest memories from those days. We would all bring our food together and we had some great food and great fellowship. We would get the food on the table and everything ready, someone would bless the food and then the hostess would say "come fill your plate".
I have just a few suggestions before you leave your dish and fill your plate.
  • Link directly to your recipe and not to your web page
  • Scroll down to the button that says "click here to enter"
  • You will be asked to give your URL ( which will be your direct link to your post), the name of your recipe, and your email which we will not be able to see.
  • Then you will be asked to select a thumbnail from your post that will be uploaded to your entry.
  • Please include a link back to Full Plate Thursday, somewhere on your post. We will give you a gentle reminder if you forget...
  • Please leave me a comment before you leave the page and let me know that you are here, I want to be a good hostess.
  • Don't forget to visit with all the others, after all that is part of the fellowship that makes it so much fun, in addition to all the good food of course...
  • Grab The Full Plate Button if you like and take it home with you.
  • Now God Bless you and your food and everyone fill your plate!

    Here's an easy Turkey Breast for the Crockpot that would be good for a holiday dinner with all the trimmings, or for an easy entree for guests...or for slicing to put on a salad, or even for making appetizers.

    I am back again. This week I linked up a recipe from my cooking blog. I didn't have much time last week to visit many blogs, but I am looking forward to it this week.

    Hello Miz Helen! Thank you so much for hosting Full Plate Thursday. I've linked up a really easy dessert with seasonal blood oranges (you can use ordinary oranges when they are not in season).

    I have recently started co-hosting a foodie blog hop called Feed Me Tweet Me Follow Me Home on Fridays, and I wonder if you might like to join us tomorrow? You are very welcome if you would!

    Hi Miz Helen! Thank you for featuring my Green Bean Salad from last week!
    This week I am sharing my recipe for Meyer Lemon Cookies. The recipe is gluten free, but it can be made with "regular" flour if you don't have an issue with gluten.
    If anyone is interested, I am having a giveaway for a 7 pound box of Organic Meyer Lemons grown in California!

    Good Morning! I brought Spaghetti Sauce with Turkey Meatballs to the party. The sauce is wonderful, but the meatballs are the real show stopper. I often tripple the batch and freeze them for later. They make great after school snacks for the kids.
