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? 😄

[quotidianus]

dinner was multi-grain mushroom porridge with kimchi, seaoned green onion, sautéed spinach and sweet pickled radish, and a greens smoothie (apple, mango, pineapple, coconut, ginger, lime, cucumber and lots of spinach) for dessert! new year's goals implemented a bit early.  stuffed.

love pickles... great probiotic!  and smoothies are a fabu way to get in lots of fruit and veg.

Why is it sometimes its the little things that taste so amazing.  Today for lunch I made a roast beef & Swiss with lettuce and tomato on fresh asiago cheese bread. With my sandwich I had chopped pineapple, sliced mango and mandarin orange segments. I was soooo very happy.  It kind of reminded me of my favorite lunch spot in Houston - Brown Bag Deli - mmmmmm.

I'm kinda lucky as far as food goes right now.... I eat just about anything. Five months pregnant and underweight to begin with...so my husband n doc tell me to eat anything n everything! But for some crazy reason all I crave is water, broccoli n cheese! But today... I had a croissant with an egg. The bad part is I love to cook so I'm always cooking something ...healthy of course!... But then I have no appetite! Tonight...spaghetti and stuffed breadsticks sounds good though!

[lylysa]

Yum yum yum!!!!

Yay for craving water (whether it's a pregnancy craving or a regular craving), I'm always drinking it, and when I don't get enough, I definitely notice!

Mmmm, broc and cheese! I love making velveeta and adding in giant chunks of broc!

Congrats on the baby, by the way! Boy or girl?

Same here with the water! I always have a huge glass of it with me! And thanks for the congrats! We're waiting til baby gets here before we find out though!!!!

[lylysa]

Ooooooo, a surprise!!!!

That's so wonderful! I hope you and your husband have a beautiful and healthy baby! From the sounds of the food, the baby is getting all kinds of spoiled already!

I'm roasting my mom a chicken tonight for her b-day.  It is smelling yummy!

[makeupmaven]

Yum, my husband and I roasted one this weekend, and then made chicken soup! Bone broth is so good for you and I feel like I'm not wasting anything when we make it!

This weekend-- brisket, which we've never done before. Yum!

[BeautyJunkie325]

Mmmmmmm....brisket is one of my favs!  I may need to break one of those out soon.  

[lylysa]

I'm making chicken skillet casserole tonight, got some friends coming over for a little gift exchange.

Earlier this week my bf made orange ginger salmon!

[makeupmaven]

[mimibel]

The start and the finish. My honey is working and sleeping odd hours this week so I am spacing holiday goodies and special recipes into the time he has. Here is appetizer and dessert from today:

Shrimp cocktails with a chunky sauce made of fire roasted tomato, crispy raw baby cucumber & red bell pepper with some smokey chiles diced in,

Mincemeat Parfaits with maple rum whipped cream,

Chardonnay 

[lylysa]

Yum yum yum! What a cute collage too! ^_^ Your honey is very lucky!

[mychoi]

I never have time to eat in the morning before my classes because I appreciate sleep more than a good breakfast.  Instead I rely on Luna bars. it's surprisingly great at keeping me full for at least 3-4 hours because it's low glycemic? Idk I just stole that word from the wrapper hehe^^ my favorite is lemon zest. so that's what's on my plate y'all haha

Onion soup baked in little crocks topped with smoked greyere.
