The Code Is On The Side Bar 
Background Story On Full Plate Thursday
 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".
Guidelines
 When you link to Full Plate Thursday, you are giving me permission to use a photo or link from your Post in a feature post on this blog, on Pinterest, or Face Book and other social media. Every Week, I feature many of your Recipes on the next Full Plate Thursday, What's For Dinner Next Week, and I pin the entire party to a dedicated page and many of your individual recipes to Pinterest.

    Hi Miz Helen,
    So glad you were blessed with some cooler days. Such a surprise in August!
    This week I've brought some Mini-Meat Loaf with Mushroom Sauce. It's easy to cook, easy to serve and easy to freeze and then reheat. (It's also gluten-free, even the sauce.)
    I hope you have a great week!

Thank you for hosting the party. This week I've shared a very easy and totally yummy Chocolate Banana Bundt Cake. Have a lovely weekend :) x

    Comfortable weather in Texas in August is almost unheard of. We lived in Houston for many years and it seemed as if it was always hot there.

    Thanks for hosting and I hope your weather continues to be delightful for the weekend.

    Glad to hear you are having such fine weather. It warmed up here in NY but the nights are still pleasant enough that we don't need air conditioning... wonderful end of summer. Thank you for the party and have a great weekend.

    Hi Miz Helen! Thank you for hosting!!

    I shared a video I filmed on a recent road trip. Healthy travel tips, gorgeous sunsets, and the importance of just getting away from it all are under the hood! :)

    Wishing you a blessed weekend!

    I'm back again, after linking up...browsing through how you filled your plate this week, Miz Helen. 'Lo and Behold'...just noticed that you filled your plate with my Peach Galette! Thank you so much, I'm really quite speechless, and honored. Have a wonderful end of the week, and cooler temperatures. xo

    Glad you were able to enjoy a little alfresco dining! We've been able to enjoy a couple of late dinners outside here in Phoenix too! It's always such an unexpected treat this time of year.

    Thanks again for a wonderful party. The recipes look as delicious as every!

    Have a wonderful weekend.

    Warmly,

    Martha

    I am going to win the award for missing the deadline the most often. It is really hard for me to link up or post from Thursday to Monday. In the meanwhile, I am enjoying those beautiful dishes you are showing.
