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!

    Oops, I sure hope you have comment moderation on - I was here earlier and posted a comment, hope I didn't skip a step. I enjoyed looking around your blog. I stopped by Garden/Quiet and Kitchen tabs, as well as the full about tab. I knew when I hit Quiet Time, I'd find Andre's story and I did. Hard to lose our buddies isn't it? Otherwise, have just enjoyed my visit immensely. I see BJ is in your comments . . . a smile just spread across my face. Texas Blogging Gals. :) Thanks, Jenn

    Miz Helen, you are one of the kindest lady among all bloggers! Thank you for generously featuring my little Insalata Caprese recipe. I appreciate your recognition, most importantly because you have successfully created one of the BEST foodie link-ups that I have ever seen (and I've seen them all!). I'll link up something new, but must apologize for any tardiness because I am also prepping for classes that begin next week. Please forgive.....hugs, Roz
