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? 😄

@CynthieLu Thank you very much 💓

[BeautyFrEcK]

Ice cream 🍨🤣😋

I’m all for this @BeautyFrEcK! Loooove ice cream! 🍨 

[JoSometimes]

@BeautyFrEcK  I love ice cream though my stomach doesn’t (lactose intolerance…)

I usually go for fruit flavours like mango, strawberry, or blueberry but I agree with @CynthieLu about mint chocolate chip, especially on a really hot day. 

[CynthieLu]

Yum! What flavor is your favorite @BeautyFrEcK ?

I'm all for mint chip or choclate peanut butter 🥜 😊

One time I had a homemade dark choclate orange at a little ice cream shop,  it was sooooo fab!

[BeautyFrEcK]

Mint chocolate chip all the way! 

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu Great choices, especially the mint chip! I had a secret menu hack from Tim Hortons whenever I had a craving for chocolate and mint. I would get an iced cap made with chocolate milk and a mint flavour shot. They discontinued the mint though…

[CynthieLu]

Oooh that's info I would have loved back in the days of mint at Timmies @JoSometimes 

I would definitely drink that Ice cap 🤩

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Mmm all sound delicious. I have tried a similar dark chocolate and orange and I think it wqs called tiger stripes?

[Mellmars1185]

I made a salmon bowl. It includes rice, soya sauce, salmon, green onion, avacodo, carrots, edammame beans, cashews and a Sriracha mayo. I squeezed a lime over everything for some added flavour and acidity.

This looks and sounds amazing @Mellmars1185. Nom, nom, nom. 😋 Yes to  sriracha! Is the sriracha mayo very spicy?

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Thank you! I find the mayo really tames the siracha. My family seems to live it on everything!

[blackkitty2014]

Yum @Mellmars1185 😋 

[CynthieLu]

That looks so great @Mellmars1185 

I'm sorry to hear a leftovers it was a miss 😢 

It's looks so yummy and fresh!

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Thank you. I had it again as leftovers and ate it cold. It wad much better when I didnt reheat it.

[Kim888]

that looks very refreshing @Mellmars1185 !

[Mellmars1185]

@Kim888 Thank you! It was a nice fresh meal. Today it did not taste so refreshing as leftovers lol. I think next time I will buy  a smaller portion of salmon. I didn't enjoy it reheated. 

[CookieGirl1]

I love the presentation, @Mellmars1185.

[Mellmars1185]

@CookieGirl1 Thank you very much 💓

[JoSometimes]

That looks so delicious @Mellmars1185! Now I’m craving some salmon. 😋

[Mellmars1185]

@JoSometimes Thanks! It was my first time making it in the air fryer. I think it turned out well 😊
