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!

    Happy Thursday Miz Helen and fellow linky-posters!

    I'm stoked to see what everyone's linking up - I've been so busy with the end of school I haven't had much time to check out what's going on. I'm hoping I'll have more time this weekend :)

    This week I've linked up the swag I got from my CSA - where do you get your ingredients from?

    it's funny you mention herbs above - i was just trying to figure out the quickest and most efficient way to grow them. Suggestions?

    This week I'm throwin' out fish in a pinch: Fresh, seasonal pan seared Pacific halibut with oven roasted tomatoes, Saanich Organics (my CSA) braising greens, and cumin scented red quinoa. All in 30 minutes!!

    Happy Thursday, Miz Helen! That peach shortcake recipe looks absolutely delicious! I think I'd have to leave the "spicy" out of half of it, though. Hubbs loves all things spicy, but for me... not so much. I'm sharing my Oven Baked Blueberry French Toast today and I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else brought to the party! Thank you for hosting another wonderful Full Plate Thursday! I hope the rest of your week and weekend are joyously blessed! ~Mary

    Good Day, Miz Helen. Today I brought two super easy, one-dish wonders to share. The first is Baked Chicken with Roasted Garlic Potatoes, and the Second is Bacon, Beans and Taters Bake. Both recipes are time-savers as well as economical. Even the busiest of people can cook "real" food with minimal prep time.

    Have great week!
