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!

  1. Hi Miz Helen!

    I love the squirel. We too have lots of critters around here since we live in the country, but I never get bored watching them. Sometimes we get wild ducks also.

    Today I've shared my lavender lemonade. A cool summer drink!

    Thanks for hosting Miz Helen!

  10. Hi Miz Helen! I shared a collection of recipes for when it is just too hot to crank up the oven. It was 102F again here in Southern Iowa, with no end in sight. The grill, crock pot and raw food will be our best friends for a while. (There's even some bread for your little squirrel friend.) http://www.stealthymom.com/2012/07/too-hot-to-cook-whats-for-dinner.html

    Thank you for hosting!

  14. I just love watching the wildlife in the garden - your squirrel does the same thing as the ones in our garden do, hanging upside down to get the bird seed! I was thrilled to see a bunny yesterday morning too. I'm sorry I haven't made it to Full Plate Thursday for a couple of weeks. I don't know where the time is going! This week I have shared an older post (updated to include a link back to you) for a wonderful vegetable tart, just right for summer (or any time of year when you need a little bit of summer in your life!). Thank you so much for hosting, Miz Helen. Have a lovely day!

    This week I've shared a traditional Argentinean recipe for pickled fennel with orange. There are many reasons for preserving food - one of which just may be a zombie apocalypse. maybe.

  32. Hi, Miz Helen, thanks for hosting! I'm new here but I love the idea of pooling the food--I had a great community of neighbors a few years ago and we used to do something like that (and we had dinner together at someone's place on a rotating basis every Sunday evening for a good while). It's always better when you share! So I'm sharing my Spicy Honey Chicken.

  36. Hi Miz Helen! I nearly forgot the day! So glad you extend the hours for this post. Hope it's not too hot for you in Texas. I dream about the sun in Washington. Hopefully we'll get more summer soon. I look forward to checking out all these delicious recipes. I made something easy--a dessert salad with mixed balsamic berries. Finn sends his regards. Hope your weekend is bright!
