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? 😄

Thanks Jozkid, but that would take all the fun out of it. 🙂

[jozkid]

It's not just what you're cooking. You go to all the trouble of plating it all fancy, too!

[DiVWA]

Fancy plating is my way of making up for being lousy at housework.

[jozkid]

Great. I'm lousy at housework and plating!

Beef Bourguignon tonight. The color is a bit off in the photo, it is much redder in person. And, it is absolutely delicious! 🙂

I want this in my mouth right now. Please share the recipe with us....

[lyravega]

Lol! Are you sure? This is pretty pain in the behind to make...? Don't you say I never warned you! 😛

[Gwenhwyfar]

Yes, please! My best recipes are the hardest/most time consuming ones to make! I must eat this dish!!

[lyravega]

It is a fantastic dish. You certainly have to try it. At least once. 😉

Ok, the recipe is in spoiler tag! Good luck, and let us know how you liked it. 😉

[lylysa]

Recipe?? Pretty please?

[lyravega]

[lyravega]

Sorry, I just saw this now... I'll see what can I do about it when I'm home.

[jozkid]

Too cute!

[DiVWA]

That looks super yummy! are those small onions in there? I like how rich the gravy looks too.

[lyravega]

It is yummy! And, yes - those are pearl onions in there. 🙂

Thank you, Diva.

For Super Bowl half-time dinner, I made nachos. These are not your standard nachos so perhaps many people wouldn't like them. These are more like a salad on top of a nacho.

Ingredients: bottom layer of homemade baked plantain chips, then some cooked adzuki beans, organic roughly sliced arugala leaves, grass-fed ground beef seasoned to be spicy (sort of like "taco meat"), sliced red onion, sliced green onion, sliced pepperoncini, chopped ripe avocado, homemade salsa, and organic cilantro leaves.

[weeeeweeeeeee]

Can I come watch the Superbowl at your place next year? 😄

[DiVWA]

Sure weeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Pull up a chair.

I like your nachos!
