  Welcome to Full Plate Thursday,769, we are so happy to see you here today. We had a really great party last week and I am so excited to share our special features with all of you today.

We have saved you a seat at the table and can't wait to see what you will be sharing with us today.  


Old Fashioned Chicken and Dressing

  I love Old Fashioned Chicken and Dressing. There is a certain time of the year when that is one of the recipes that I crave. My Grandmother would make this recipe for a Sunday dinner and you could smell it cooking all over the house. This is a very simple recipe and can be made ahead of time or frozen after baking. It is a delicious family recipe that says, warm, cozy and lots of love.


Whats For Dinner Next Week, 11-9-25

Hello everyone, I am so glad you could join me today for another great fall meal plan. We have been doing some prep work outdoors to get our property ready for winter. The chores always change with the season and so do our food taste. I am looking for some real cozy comfort foods and some new discoveries at the local Farmers Market. I recently posted  November Food and Recipe Basket , a great source for fall recipes!

  Welcome To Full Plate Thursday, 768 and to November! November is a food lovers month, with so many traditional foods plus the new ones. We have been enjoying some real fall weather which puts us in the mood for all the fun and delicious links you will be bringing to the party today. We had an outstanding party last week which means some awesome features for you to enjoy today!


November Food and Recipe Basket: 2025

November is truly a food lovers season. We love looking in our food and recipe basket for the seasonal foods and recipes of November. Thanksgiving is our big holiday this month and a food lovers holiday!  We see pumpkins just about everywhere we go, they are in the markets, pumpkin patches, and front porches. I use them for decoration, but mostly love them in a delicious recipe on my table. Sweet Potatoes are one of the farmers crops here in our area and we see Sweet Potatoes in the farm stands, back of pick up trucks, and in our very own gardens. November is a great food month to enjoy!


Whats For Dinner Next Week, 11-1-25

Welcome to November, a food lovers month! What a fun month to plan food with so many traditional plans and recipes. We are well into our fall now with our temperatures dropping daily. We were busy this past week getting as many of our plants in the house and protected in the barn as we could. Now I am ready to cozy up with a cup of pumpkin spice latte and make some great meal plans for the week.

Neiman Marcus Chicken Casserole (Copy-Cat)

  The Neiman Marcus Chicken Casserole is still as popular today as it was when it was served in the old Neiman's café. It has a crunchy top with a creamy and flavorful inside. It is light yet makes a great covered dish for any event. It is one of my favorite pot-luck recipes.

  It is hard to believe that we are going into the last week of October with our meal plans. Time is flying by, but we sure are having fun on the ride. We have so many fun places to visit in our community just now. There are October Fest, Haunted Houses, Trunk or Treats, Fall Festivals, and of course our amazing Farmers Markets. For now I am in my happy place on the screen porch writing a very special meal plan for the next week.

Country Sausage and Potato Breakfast Bake

We love a weekend brunch and often times look for a special breakfast bake or casserole to serve for our brunch or breakfast. Our Country Sausage and Potato Breakfast Bake is just one of those special recipes that our weekend brunch group just love. This is a very simple recipe that does not take that long to set on the table. The flavors of Grandma's country kitchen rolled into one great breakfast bake!

  Hello everyone, we are really busy here this week and I am looking forward to sitting with you while we make our meal plan for the week. I love this time of the year when we can use the seasonal foods and include the colors of fall in our plans. One of my favorite fruits to use this time of the year is apples, fresh and crisp and just delicious on a plate of fall foods.

Italian Noodle Bake

  This is a delicious retro recipe that I made for my kids when they were in high school. It was always a great recipe to go to when they would bring 3/4 of the football team home for dinner. It has great Italian flavor and is a real easy recipe to make even at the last minute. This is a great go to recipe still to this day!
