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

We are very busy making plans for the memorial day week end as I am sure many of you are, so I am really excited to see and enjoy all the wonderful food that you are sharing today. We are here on the Up Stairs Patio today we can enjoy our time together and watch all the birds when they come to the feeders and the bird bath.
We have been helping to put up flags around our community as a reminder what this holiday is all about.
I want to take a moment to say
"Thank You" to the families who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, 
God Bless You.

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!

  30. Good morning to you!

    So this week Haydn and I blog a recipe from another blog or cookbook - I chose to do that but not. Instead I asked "where does inspiration come from?".... a few hours later I had to then reflect, "where did all the rum go?"... oops! Summer-ish Strawberry Mojitos baby!

  39. Hello Miz Helen...I think this is the first time I've been here and I'm just charmed by your blog. It is delightful. And I love how you have put your Linky party together. Those menu items above that you've chosen sound mighty good and I sure want to try them all...but then I think my waistline would just get bigger than it is...smile. I am following you now so will be seeing you often. And I'm so looking forward to that! Do try the Party Potato chips...they are to die for I promise. You won't be able to eat just one.

    Most Warmly,

    PS When we were first married and still in college and having babies a couple of the other poor married gals and I would do the same thing. Sometimes we would just trade ingredients. I so well remember those days. So much fun and so many wonderful memories....and good recipes that came out of that.

  40. PSS We lived in Austin for nearly 22 years and raised our kids there. And our son and his family still lives in McKinney. We get back down that way once or twice a year. We still consider ourselves Texans. We loved it there!!!
