What's on your plate?

[lylysa]

Hello there, ladies and gents!

Keeping in line with all the fun and interactive threads asking about your most recent halls, items you have your eyes on, what you're currently wearing, what's your hair routine, and more, I've decide to branch out and ask:

"What's on your plate?"

The beauty world doesn't just stop at skin care and cosmetics, it also goes hand in hand with your overall health and well-being, so with that, I'm curious to see what we're all chowing down and snacking on be it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, or inbetween!

For those with apps that help count calories or to those who just want to keep a log, here's a place to share, possibly find and share some recipes, and even tips on maintaining a balanced diet.

Don't just share food items, but even drinks! I'm a huge fan of tea and at least have a cup of green tea a day (anti-oxidants) and drink plenty of water.

For lunch today, I had:

-Brown rice

-Steamed egg

-Steamed red snapper with green onion, sesame oil, and black pepper

-Gai lan (it's a type of Chinese vegetable/greens)

Now, tell me, Beauty Talk world, what do you have? 😄

@missaa8 I have some chickpea pasta in my cupboard but I have not made it yet. I should!

[missaa8]

They would be perfect in a creamy Alfredo or Vodka sauce, @Mellmars1185.

Yum! That had to have been really tasty @missaa8 🍝🤩

[missaa8]

Sustainable, @CynthieLu... pork products are popular where I'm at.

@missaa8   It's a good thing to be Italian at heart. 💕

@missaa8 Ohh my gosh, that looks so good. I could definitely go for a bowl of spaghetti on a cold day like today. 😋

[missaa8]

Is it snowing where you are, @JoSometimes?

[JoSometimes]

@missaa8 It did last night but only a light blanket. This has been a strange winter for us here. Temperatures usually dip below well below freezing but it’s been hovering around freezing, so sometimes we just get rain instead of snow. I haven’t even pulled out my proper winter jacket yet! It’s on standby in the closet just waiting to be used. 

[missaa8]

Always good to be prepared, @JoSometimes.

@Ispend2much6 These cookies look super tasty. The chocolate chips are placed so thoughtfully on top 🍪❤️

[Ispend2much6]

@Mellmars1185  Thank you!

[JoSometimes]

@Ispend2much6 Oooookaaaaay! They look ooey-gooey and delicious! 😋 

[Ispend2much6]

@JoSometimes  Indeed they are!  Your kids would probably like making these.  With sprinkles on top, of course. 🙂

[JoSometimes]

@Ispend2much6 They absolutely would! (After we deal with some cavities… 😅)

[Ispend2much6]

Oh no! Well, that’s what fillings are for, so you can keep eating sugar. @JoSometimes 

[CynthieLu]

@Ispend2much6 🤣🤣🤣

I mean the Dentist's need jobs to, lol.

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu @Exactly! It’s our duty to keep the entire economy afloat, all of it.

[CynthieLu]

My mouth is seriously watering over here @Ispend2much6 😍 Your cupcakes look sinfully delicious. 

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  They're even easier than cupcakes, they're cookies!  And, they are even better the second day- still chewy. 🙂

[CynthieLu]

Omg I'm laughing at myself 🤣 @Ispend2much6 I thought I was looking at the tops of cupcakes. They clearly are cookies. 😅😅

Still chewy on day two? Oooh gosh I would love to try these. 🤩
