My Mom started this tradition when I was a little girl. Growing up we called it the ‘The Red Plate’.
Each of us were given this plate when our parents thought we did something “special”. It is tied to many good memories.
Now with my family, it’s something we use when we want someone to feel supported and reassured for their occasion, birthdays…graduations…the first day of school… report card….making a remarkabley good decision.
For an additional layer, the plate represents a second generation family tradition.
Sometimes we even break it out for very special house guests.
Please do not judge his butter to bread ratio – everything tastes better with butter.
Can’t wait to visit with you again Mr. Pan.
You can find this plate on Amazon for $34. Click HERE to order yours.
Disclosure. Nothing to say. The Red Plate people have no idea who I am.

My mom always did the Red Plate when we were growing up too! So much fun – brings back a ton of memories. I have one for my family but lost the pen. Great reminder I need to get on it and order a new one so I can bring this tradition back for my family. It’s just the cutest!

It’s “Dr. Pan.” Actually, it’s “Dr. Dr. Pan.” But you’re right about one thing: everything DOES taste better with butter. Lots of it.
