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? 😄

I had a peanut 🥜 butter and jelly sandwhich with milk for lunch. It felt like I was in school again. Definatley not in school anymore but my sister is and it’s probably why I decided to make it because I made her lunch today 🥹❤️

@peculiarzmakeupI had almost the same thing after I had dinner.  I made an almond butter and jelly sandwich. 

[peculiarzmakeup]

@SportyGirly125 sounds delicious almond butter is so good too!

Sometimes the simplest food is just perfect @peculiarzmakeup 👍

@blackkitty2014 
I so agree! ✨

Has anyone  ever tried sweet potato glass noodles before?

[Sunnysmom]

I just saw this @missaa8 and it intrigues me! How do they taste?! They look yummy!! 💞

[missaa8]

@Sunnysmom, I enjoy their consistency. Are you familiar with them?

[Sunnysmom]

Nope not at all! They sound like something I would love tho! Gonna look them up! 

[SportyGirly125]

@missaa8 @I have. 

[missaa8]

@SportyGirly125, do you get them in small batches, too?

[SportyGirly125]

@missaa8 @My Mom gets them from the Asian grocery store. They come in packs. 

[missaa8]

@SportyGirly125, I would imagine the Asian marts are even less expensive than the regular stores.

[SportyGirly125]

@missaa8 @They are definitely cheaper. Not as clean as American grocery stores but I grew up going to Asian grocery stores. My husband got use to them. 

[missaa8]

@SportyGirly125, they are charming areas.

[peculiarzmakeup]

@missaa8  these look amazing do you make them or is there somewhere you buy them?! I’ve never heard of these sounds delicious!

@missaa8  Sweet potato noodles are one of my pantry staples because I make a big batch of japchae at least once a month. Is this your first time using sweet potato noodles?

[missaa8]

@WinglessOne, this is my first time seeing them at a non-asian grocery store...for less than $2!

[WinglessOne]

@missaa8  That’s a good deal! They’re hard to find where I am unless I visit an Asian grocery store. I think I’ve seen them in only one non-Asian grocery… it was one of those “upscale” boutique markets. I don’t recall how much they charged for them, but the price was too crazy for me to buy from them when I knew I could just go to an Asian grocery or order online. 😂

Oh wait, Cost Plus World Market also used to sell sweet potato noodles; not sure if they still do. I haven’t been in that store since The Before Times.
