Smaller Dishes; Yes, But No Kids Themes Please!

By michelemock

I have come to the point 8 days after surgery where a smaller dish is a must to trick the mind and eye into thinking I am getting more food. When I looked into my normal sized bowl with my child size spoon and about a Tablespoon of cottage cheese I am left longing for more.

 

So I have decided my new mission once I have enough energy is to have my husband drive me to the store to find smaller, non-child themed small dishes. I know I'm not hungry, but I must trick my eye.

 

So any ideas? Anyone know where to find smaller dishes?

    Just buy salad/dessert plates. They're half the size.

    Goodwill is an amazing source for small plates. I bought myself some lovely china plates for my new "dinner service".

    I bought some desert size plates on ebay that are so beautiful and just the right size. When I use them, I get the right amount. In fact, my husband is also using them too. I never want to use the dinner plates anymore. ;)
