Welcome to Full Plate Thursday,486 and our Top Ten Features! We had a great holiday weekend, it was very quiet but my husband and I had some really great food, that I shared on our Whats For Dinner Next Week.

Vegetable Rice Chicken Bake is a great one pot meal that will feed and satisfy the whole family. There is really something very comforting about this flavorful recipe. I just love the flavor combination of this recipe, it one of those recipes that we just can't get enough of. This is a great one pot meal that can be on the table in no time or take it to your favorite covered dish dinner. I just took this pot of goodness to a friend who was in a quarantine at her house, I just left the pot on the porch for her. No it was not a cure, but she said it sure made her feel better.

Memorial Day Weekend meal planning will sure be different this year. Memorial Day is the opening day of "summer fun" here at the lake and ordinarily we have a packed cottage with family and friends kicking off the season, but that is not the case this year. Although our state is in stage 2 of opening back up we are not at the point of celebrations for large groups of folks. Our community put out a newsletter that the pool will not open this season, our community 4th of July Parade will not happen this year, we are in a different time. Although we won't have large crowds of folks we will still be enjoying some of our all time favorites along with some new recipes.

Thursday's are very special here at the cottage, we always look forward to all of you stopping by and sharing your amazing post with us. Sometimes it is so hard to pick features from all the talented bloggers that come every week. We do have some awesome features that I hope you will check out! What are your plans for Memorial Day Weekend, will you be making some special foods for the annual picnic or will you be able to have the picnic this year? Let us know what you will be doing this year!  Congratulations to all the graduating seniors, you are a very special group of young folks that will have a strength in leadership because of the courage that you have had in your final journey this year. Our very best wishes to each of you and God Bless You!

Garden Veggie Cornbread Casserole is one of those recipes that could actually be dessert, it is that good. This casserole will be great to serve as a side dish for any occasion. I have taken this dish to covered dish dinners, family get to-gethers and picnics,it is always a hit with folks who love food. The recipe is packed with fresh garden vegetables and a great blend of seasons making it a very sought after recipe.

There is something special about getting out in the back yard, having some time with the family and just grilling some really good food. Our Ultimate Tex-Mex Burger is just that, some really good food. This is a combination that my husband and I have put together through the years and from time to time we add or take away, but it really is the ultimate burger that we have. This burger has great Tex-Mex flavors and seasons that will leave you saying when can we do this again?

We are staying very busy here at the cottage, and we are starting to have some visitors from time to time. I love getting to have folks here at the cottage for a visit and it is so much fun making meal plans for our special guest. We will be having more and more guest as time moves along here. It is really nice for some things to begin to return to a little normality.
