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!

    I posted a video recipe for oven roasted eggplant, a great summer side dish. You can even freeze roasted eggplant for the winter.

    In spite of the wonderful array of food here, I hope you'll save room for a little dessert. Since it's peach season here (even northern Ohio has peaches!), I've linked an old favorite of mine -- Peach Pie. This one is made with cornstarch or arrowroot for the thickener.

    Hi Miz Helen! Not a meal recipe this week but a great accompaniment. Pickled beets are a family favourite. Fingers crossed about the Amazon card. I have some books I can only get at Amazon.com and need the funds :)

    Hi Miz Helen! Hope you've had a great week. You know, I read your post about the berries and I thought to myself "did I link up any recipes this week with Miz Helen" and when I checked, I hadn't! Gosh, I've had one of those weeks. Hope they'll be of some use to someone.
