plate

When I was growing up, we had a special Christmas plate that was reserved for serving Santa Claus. Every Christmas Eve, my sister and I would take the pretty plate, place the most perfect cookies on it, and set it out by the tree. To relive old memories, I went looking for the long lost plate. Alas, it was nowhere to be found. I asked you to help me find a replacement by heading off to market in search of a beautiful Christmas plate worthy of Saint Nick. You saved your discoveries in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Christmas Plate.

In what looks like it might be a Christmas miracle, CiaoBella has bookmarked the exact plate that used to be my special Christmas plate! She has the plate (whose design has been a holiday favorite since its introduction in 1938) and also serves cookies to Santa on it. Thanks for helping me restore a family tradition CiaoBella!

I want to give my grandfather's girlfriend a beautiful set of plates for Christmas, so I asked you to help me search for a lovely set that she can use while entertaining. You looked for plates that are pretty, festive, and perfect for serving everything from holiday cookies to cocktail appetizers. You saved the plates in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag Christmas Plates.

When I saw that three of you — Country+Betty, emalove, and aimeeb — discovered the same fabulous snowflake printed plates, I knew I had found the ideal gift. Thanks for your help! Let's hope she likes the plate set.

We all have a hard time deciphering portion sizes, especially when we're eating off a large plate, or even wedge shaped foods. There are some pretty simple ways to measure portion sizes but sometimes even that is too confusing.

One very simple technique for figuring out how much you should eat is using this simple diagram from the Daily Bureau of Canada.

Easy enough, right?

Did you notice half of the plate is dedicated to veggies!!! I didn't think you missed it, but I just wanted to hit that point home.
