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!

  14. Glad to hear you are having nice weather. NYC is going to be 100 degrees today and that isn't pleasant in a city... but I guess you are more used to high temperatures than us Northern folks. Have a great weekend.

  19. What a lovely idea to have a picnic! I've brought some Chicken Mushroom Rice Bake with Homemade Mushroom Sauce. It's an old favorite that I've converted to be gluten-free (and dairy-free if you want), and it's easy to put together.

  26. Thanks so much for hosting Miz Helen. Hope it's not too hot there for you. We're just barely getting into summer here. I contributed a Tangerine Dream Cake with Strawberries, which you could make with an orange intead of a tangerine and it would be just as good. It's an old fashioned idea for the cake using baking soda and vinegar to get a nice rise. No eggs, no dairy--it's perfect for finicky vegans or those with dairy allergies! Looks like more great selections on your list. Finn says Woof! =
