Soup and Sandwich Plate

Dress Up Lunch With A Beautiful Soup And Salad Plate

As Mom aged, her appetite waned so she tended to eat small portions of meals more often during the day. A half of a sandwich (sometimes just a quarter) and a bit of tomato soup was all she’d want for lunch most of the time.

I discovered that part of getting her to eat more was to make the dishes more appetizing and prettier. I worked hard on presentation; just a sprig of parsley on top of a muffin tin sized chicken pot pie was enough to get her eating.

And, serving her meals on a beautiful melanine tray went a long way toward keeping her eating.

The below soup and sandwich plates are very pretty and very functional. The bottom plate serves as a tray to, hopefully, catch the drips from the soup. Well, it’s a theory.

And, on that subject, why not add an Adult Meal Protector (please don’t call them bibs…) to save yourself some washing after a meal.

These are some of the prettiest soup and sandwich plates I could find. I particularly love the first link below as the Botanic Garden design was one of my Mom’s favorites.

Pistaschio Bowls

OK, I’ve never even thought of a pistaschio bowl when Mom and I sat around, night after night, eating nuts. The shells always got mixed in and, somehow, she always got the last nut. These bowls holds both the nuts and the shells. Very cool.
