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!

    If you've got wildflowers, it must be spring.

    I've brought pickled shrimp to your party today. They're super simple to make and such a nice change from the traditional boiled shrimp and red sauce. Thank you so much for hosting. We all appreciate it.

    Hi Miz Helen,
    I love to see wild chives blooming, but the ones I usually see are still hibernating through our Ohio winter. My only blooms are some darling little snowdrops that just opened.

    Today I've brought some Kale, Zucchini and Fusilli Pasta in a skillet dinner. Thanks so much for hosting!

    Good Morning Miz Helen... Thank you for hosting! I popped by to share a super-easy recipe for ranch dressing. It is faster to whip together- from ingredients you likely have on hand- than to read all the labels in the grocery aisle to find a ranch without monosodium glutamate.

    Hello Miz. Helen,

    A very happy Thursday to you!

    This week I am sharing an Asian inspired dish (sweet and sour chicken); a dish my Gramie made quite a bit when I was a child. The smells brought me right back into the kitchen with her. It's a fun, easy dish, and as always: gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free. :-)

    Have a wonderful week.

    Hugs,
    --Amber

    First of all, thank you so much for featuring me to fill your plate last week with my biscuits. It looks as though I'm on a garlic roll, because I'm back this week with Garlic Three-Cheese Mashed Potatoes! I'm so very picky about my MP, so I decided to share mine! Hope you like it :) Have a great weekend, Miz Helen!
