It's Full Plate Thursday Where All The Greatest Cooks On The Planet Gather

We are coming into this week with a quiet spirit and heavy hearts, recovering as a nation from the recent tragic events in Oregon and Connecticutt. We cling to the peace and love that the Christmas season brings us.   I am very happy to see you today, coming together in fellowship and sharing food is one of the ways we begin to heal, surrounding each other with warm caring love. 


Wishing You And Your Family
Peace, Joy and Love
Merry Christmas
Miz Helen

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!

  17. I agree Miz Helen, sharing food is a good way to heal. Thank you for the party. Life is sad and tense in the Newtown area but we are moving through the tragedy.

  18. That mall isn't very far from us; these tragedies don't always happen somewhere else. Sad when folks are nervous to go out or to send their children to school. :( Despite the senseless outcome of both these recent events, we do have hope because of Christmas, don't we?

    Blessings to you, Miz Helen, and thanks so much for hosting. Sharing our peppermint candy cane muffin recipe this week. :)

  28. Hi Helen, what a busy season. I was late posting this week so I'm a bit late sharing my ideas for gifts from your kitchen. I've always loved these gifts best at Christmas. You simply have to try the sweet potato chews for your adorable little Max who I'm sure will bring lots of young dog energy to Christmas this year? Hugs to Max!
