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!
Thank You So Much For Coming Today and Come Back Soon

    Thank you, Miz Helen, for featuring my GF Beef Pot Roast in the Crockpot from last week! I absolutely love your Menu, all the way from the Instant Oatmeal Packets and Cinnamon Rolls, to the Chickpea Yogurt Salad, Rosemary Rolls and Chocolate Gingerbread Cake, along with everything in between.

    Today I've brought Boneless Beef Short Ribs in Agave-Mustard Gravy, which is GF, DF, egg-free and nut-free. It also has a crockpot option after it's browned, if you like.

    Congratulations on your 1-year anniversary!

    Hi Miz Helen. Happy New Year! I'll be looking forward to your anniversary next week. I don't have anything to link up with this week as we're still in holiday mode here with the kids not due to go back to school until the end of January.

    I have, however, started up my own linky party, every Thursday (same day as yours). If you ever feel like you'd like to post one of your beautiful recipes, I'd love for you to visit. If I love your recipes. I'm sure everyone else here in Australia will too. Be lovely to have you.

    Thanking you,
    Anne @ Domesblissity xx

    Thanks for hosting! I've never linked up here before (I have no idea why). You have such a nice collection of followers. I shared a recipe for chess pie (a traditional Christmas dessert) that is free of gluten, dairy, egg, soy, corn. It's suspicious when you're putting it all together but turns out fabulous. Hope to be back next week!

    Hi Miz Helen-I sure would love to join in filling my plate with all the delicious choices you have on your plate, but my Weight Watchers diet will not permit it. Although I will be checking out the amazing soups I see posted, and cannot resist the chocolate crinkle cookies...will check that out too!
    I linked my Chicken Soup for the Soul dish, and recipe. I'm still thinking about your awesome, hearty, and delicious chicken and dumplings soup...yumm!
