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? 😄

Marinated chicken thighs and corn

My neighbour was kind enough to give us some herbs and veggies from her garden. I used them to make a marinade for the chicken and made the chicken in the air fryer. We made the corn in the oven. It cooks nice that way in the husk. Unfortunately, this batch of corn was not the greatest. 

Recipe for marinade in spoiler:

Spoiler

Two different kinds of thyme
Celery
Oregano
Rosemary 
Hot peppers
Green Onion
I put in a little olive oil to help blend it all together

 

**EDIT - I forgot to mention I drizzled some local honey on the spicy chicken thighs and it balanced out nicely

This looks so tasty @Mellmars1185! 😋 Mmmm, honey over the chicken adds such a delicious touch and is great way to balance and complement the spicy! 🍯 🌶️ 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Thank you! You are right. Why did I wait this long to try it out? 🍯🌶

[itsfi]

@Mellmars1185, there was a lunch spot I’d go to occasionally for work lunches that served a delicious fried chicken and they had as an add on, an option to have truffles honey drizzled table side over the fried chicken. 😍

@Mellmars1185 I love that this meal was made with plenty of locally grown ingredients. It sounds delicious!

[Mellmars1185]

@JoSometimes Thank you very much!!

@missaa8 Everything sounds delicious. I love hotdogs in the summer time.

[missaa8]

They're considered a delicacy in some places, @Mellmars1185 🌭

[CynthieLu]

Tell me more about your Overnight Oats @missaa8. What do you add to yours? I love how creative and simple a dish it can be 😄

[missaa8]

I mostly add granola, @CynthieLu 🥣 after boiling the oats in milk, blackstrap molasses, sugar and a dash of vanilla 😋 budget friendly weightloss never tasted so fantastic ✨️💖

What’s for breakfast ? 
A yogurt bowl or smoothie bowl with apples, tangerines , bananas, strawberries and maybe some kiwi!! How about a splash of honey ? 🥣🍓🍎🍦

[Mellmars1185]

@gremsnpusheen Sounds delicious! I can see myself adding some chia seeds and coconut to the top of it 😋. Great breakfast idea. 

[CorgiMommy]

@gremsnpusheen sounds yummy.  Thank you for not posting a picture as I would be drooling LOL

[gremsnpusheen]

Hahaha 😝 you’re welcome 😇 happens to me too much..

[CynthieLu]

Honey 🍯  + yogurt is a yummy mix 🙂 That is a good breakfast! 👌 😊 @gremsnpusheen 

I love adding things to my granola bowls 🥣.  Like peanut butter, seeds and granola. Do you add anything else to yours?

[gremsnpusheen]

A must do for me is basil or spinach.I know it’s weird but I love it 😍
