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? 😄

Yummmmm, and yes, soups are easy to make, and they're so filling and warming too! Great comfort food!

I shared my chicken noodle soup recipe a while back:

Alphabet noodles! You're the best! I think that made my day! By chance did you get any messages in your soup?? 😛

I dont know why, but I am looking at a top 100 list of oldest living people, and I found the oldest living american (113) and I found this article/video of her......and she's hillarious!!

You know, I didnt even look, I was so hungry!!

Exactly! Its weird to me how some people consider soup to be an "appetizer" because once I've had my bowl, I'm FULL. Just like hot tea/coffee fills you up, soup does the same thing 😄 And its pretty much the only way I get my veggies anyway. Not a veggie person 😞

Your soup pic has me craving chicken noodle soup now....gahhhh

I'm not crazy on too many veggies either, but soup is nice because things are all mushy or soft!

One day the soup will say "Buy more make up"  O_O

How were those cooked up?

[sephoramusthave]

My mom baked all of that in the oven. The turkey in the main oven and the potatoes in the smaller oven, I dont know what its called, it looks sorta lika a microwave but isnt.

[sephoramusthave]

Spinach Potato bisque from Joy the Baker

Cauliflower quiche from Smitten Kitchen

I made a ton of those 2 things, otherwise I'd just gorge on fried chicken all day long. Also made chocolate sauce (chocolate chips, Kahlua licquor, milk, leftover caramel ice cream) for smoothies (I'm on a banana smoothie bend.

[drrragon]

aren't smoothies supposed to be a kind of healthy food?  I wanna try your version with chocolate, booze and ice cream!
