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? 😄

@JoSometimes ,

I love Vietnamese Spring Rolls so much!  ❤️  

[JoSometimes]

Agreed @tsavorite! They’re delicious!

[tsavorite]

@JoSometimes , Especially with shrimp, as you made them!

@JoSometimes that looks SO good! I've never had it with corn before but that sounds amazing! My mom was requesting for Goi Cuon next Mother's Day 😛 I might have to give this a try next year or our next gathering!

[JoSometimes]

@DaneeBT I figured it was a fresh veggie and tossed it in. It ended up taste great! And if you haven’t made them before, make a small batch for yourself to get used to the wrapping technique or they might turn out like mine. 😅

[DaneeBT]

@JoSometimes I'll definitely have to make a small batch for myself first since I've never made them before. Yours looks nicely wrapped though!

Grilled steak and vegetables. I'm currently following a Carnivore diet https://betterme.world/articles/carnivore-diet/ I'm supposed to eat only meat and drink only water. Some people claim they feel great after trying this diet plan. As for me, this is only the 3rd day, so it's early to say about the results.

@Nortyl, do you have a favorite meat-and-veggie pairing or a favorite dish to make?

[sister13]

Tried something new that I’ve never had before tonight: Japanese Tsukune (chicken meatball/skewers). 

I had been thinking about some kind of seasoned chicken burgers or meatballs, but then when I searched the Google, I saw these come up.

It is ground chicken mixed with egg, sesame oil, salt and pepper, shallots and scallions, then grilled with a kind of teriyaki glaze. I served them with rice and lettuce cups, sauce, extra scallions, grilled asparagus & mushrooms. It was actually really delicious. My husband loved them and he’s pretty hard to please! We will definitely make these again!

That sounds soo good! And a new meal to add to your cook book 🙂 @sister13 I'm hungry looking at this 🤩

[jaaayp]

This looks amazing @sister13 !!

[sister13]

Thanks - it was really good - such nice flavors and textures all together! @jaaayp 

[quspork]

This looks so yummy, @sister13! And perfect how that grilling season has arrived. 

[sister13]

Yes, we actually just had it again because the ground chicken was 2 for 1. Also one of those dishes that is as good if not better as leftovers! @quspork 

[JoSometimes]

This sounds so good @sister13! I might try this some time. 😋

[sister13]

Highly recommend!! @JoSometimes
