What's on your plate?

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? 😄

Drunken Pork Chops

 

Ingredients:


•1 pound pork chops
•8 ounces dark beer ( or more )
•0.125 teaspoons salt
•0.125 teaspoons pepper
•0.5 cup brown sugar
•0.33 cup ketchup

some garlic and onion powder, dash of smoked paprika, 1 - 2 tablespoons bbq sauce 

 

Directions:

 

Combine all ingredients. Place pork chops in skillet and cover with sauce. ( My chops were very thick. I seared them first on some ( very little ) lard. Both sides. Fried them for a bit, then covered with the sauce. ) Simmer for 25-30 minutes or until pork chops are brown and sauce has thickened.

Pretty please on sharing the drunken recipe?

Re: What's on your plate?

Re: What's on your plate?

How was the cauliflower fried rice, lyravega? I keep seeing recipes for the cauliflower fried rice floating around pinterest and it looks good!

Re: What's on your plate?

Randee, it was very good. And that's coming from someone who doesn't even like cauliflower. 🙂 But, I have to say, I like it riced. And, in many different recipes, too.

Re: What's on your plate?

Omg my mouth is watering! I have to start learning from all of you here. Yum!

Re: What's on your plate?

Yummy! I love cooking with beer too!

Re: What's on your plate?

Beer and bacon make everything taste better. 🙂

Another pizza, made the crust a bit different aka no gluten flour and i like this better, lol. i also bought actual pizza sauce and not just marinara sauce, thicker cheese since the other one was like little tiny thin worms. nice image huh. anyway. I think you guys know why there's a slice missing. my mom is .. yeah. 

Re: What's on your plate?

This is gorgeous! I love your pizza pics!

Re: What's on your plate?

That looks seriously delicious, blackwhiskey! 

<3, Randee

Re: What's on your plate?

This looks yummy. Did you save a slice for me! 😉

Re: What's on your plate?

Four big ones left 😉

Re: What's on your plate?

I wish I could feed all my friends who are snowed in some of the soup I made for tonight.

 

This is ham vegetable soup. It has celery root, rutabega, carrot, onion, leek, garlic and garbanzo beans in it. I roasted the root veggies separately from the broth; the broth contained a bone from leftover maple-syrup-glazed spiral ham. Along with the bone, I added some organic apple cider that I needed to use up to add an interesting dimension to the broth. Later I cut the ham off the bone and added the ham pieces with the roasted veggies and cooked beans to the broth. The broth tasted slightly sweet from the cider, so I balanced the sweetness with a splash of vinegar and a touch of liquid smoke.

Brothy ham stew - a perfect meal.  Looks so delicious. 

 

I now feel like having some Pho.

Re: What's on your plate?

I always feel like having Pho! Let's have a virtual Pho outing! 😉 

<3, Randee

Re: What's on your plate?

We must all have a Pho bonding moment.  There is never a wrong time for Pho. 

 

: You sick? - Have Pho

: Celebrating a lottery win? - Blow your money on some Pho

: Lipstick bled into your nose - Pho make it all betta

: Your TF lipstick package got delivered to the wrong address?  -go on...eat some Pho and count to 10.

: You discover Santa is not real?  - Pho will make him real again

: You ask someone to guess your age and they guess 4 years older than you are - toss some %#$#!@** Pho at them and they will see the error of their ways.

 

Disclaimer - don't do any of this.  Except eat it. 

Re: What's on your plate?

Greenchilli, you're right about Pho.

 

BTW, do you like bubble tea?

Re: What's on your plate?

Diva, I grew up on tea, but am not sure I know bubble tea.  Is that Thai tea?

 

 

Re: What's on your plate?

Mmm...Pho(echoing DiVWA).  I'm in!
