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!

    Hi and thanks for hosting and for your kind thoughts for the East Coasters. We are getting back to normal in my area in VA, electricty on and clean up started. I know there are so many that had it so much worse than we did, with devistating damage. And like you said...I hope to see them back online soon.
    You have filled your plate with lots of yummy goodness this week and with the cooler weather, it should be a good one!

    Thanks for featuring my Veggie Lasagna this week! I'm linking up my Asian Pear Salad today. Hope you are having a good week and things are cooling off for you all up there. It's supposed to get in the low 90s this weekend. I can't wait. After this long summer of over 100 degrees all thetime it will probably feel like winter to get below 95!....:)

    P.S. I finally got your badge to come up successfully on my post. Is it supposed to link to you if I click on the badge? I don't think it does. I did put a link underneath the badge though. Sorry, not too technologically savvy over here...:)

    Hi Miz Helen. How has your week been? Ours has been busy with Father's Day activities all week. (Tomorrow is Father's Day here in Australia.) I'm late getting around to posting my recipes. It was also the 1st day of Spring on Thursday so a few salad, summery dishes to come. I know, I'll be too late. LOL
