What's on your plate?

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 These are so neat!!

Re: What's on your plate?

@Mellmars1185 @Samtian They’re really neat and super cute, though kinda pricey for what you get. My girls were super happy to eat them though. 

Re: What's on your plate?

@JoSometimes Omg!  Hahah, do they sell just the Pokémon Narutomaki without the noodles?   I very much want those untainted by gluten!!   😍😍😍😍. I immediately went and showed my husband and he has agreed to ‘take one for the team’ and buy some so I can see it in person!  😆

Re: What's on your plate?

I don’t know if you can buy the cakes by themselves @heartsmyface. That would be amazing if they did! I would totally buy a bunch… for my kids…

 

Your husband is a good man for making the sacrifices necessary for you to see a cup for yourself.

Pho: From Coast to Coast

 

There are times during the year when I could happily have a bowl of pho every day. The first pic is from when I was in New York. The second is from the other day when SF was not only met with grey skies and fall weather but rain. Both his the spot. 😋

Pho: NYCPho: NYC

Re: What's on your plate?

@itsfi ,

These look delicious, and comforting!

Re: What's on your plate?

@itsfi Ooh those look good!

Re: What's on your plate?

@itsfi Pho on a rainy day is so comforting. Were there any noticeable differences between the two restaurants?

Re: What's on your plate?

@itsfi  Oh those noodles look so good!!!!  Hahaha, I was fantasizing about them before reading your post and laughed cause I ate those with you!  No fantasizing required! 
The broth looks better in the NYC photo.  

Re: What's on your plate?

@heartsmyface, that was one of my favorite days, despite the rainout. 🥰 So many great moments and memories from everyone being together.

 

The broth in NYC was richer in flavor. @danielledanielle mentioned that I looked like I was really enjoying my meal. I was. 😋 It was warm and comforting and delicious. Hit the spot & just what was needed for the shopping spree that would follow later in the day. 

Re: What's on your plate?

@itsfi I love Pho , enjoy 

Re: What's on your plate?

@itsfi I never knew that

Re: What's on your plate?

@CorgiMommy, there are recipes that call for shorter cooking times, but for restaurant quality pho, it can take 12 or more hours to prepare the broth. 

Re: What's on your plate?

@itsfi Making pho at home is really satisfying but I’ve never done it completely from scratch. I usually cheat and boxed beef broth because I don’t have the time or patience to babysit a boiling pot for half a day! I know there’s boxed pho broth but I get the regular stuff and add my own spices. Also, slicing beef paper thin by hand… that’s a workout!

Re: What's on your plate?

@JoSometimes, what spices do you use in your pho broth?

Re: What's on your plate?

@itsfi Cardamom pods, fennel seeds, star anise seeds, black pepper, ginger, onion, fish sauce, and lime juice. I usually toss the spices into my magic bullet to grind them up quick. If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll try to toast them in a pan first but most of the time, they just go in straight away. 

Re: What's on your plate?

It’s so good, isn’t it @CorgiMommy? 😋 I came close to taking a course on making pho a few years back. I learned it takes 12+ hours for the broth; gave me a much deeper appreciation for a bowl of pho.

 mmmmmm, tandoori chicken and rice with pickled onions.  Yum. 

Re: What's on your plate?

@heartsmyface ,

Again, this looks delicious!

Re: What's on your plate?

@heartsmyface Tandoori chicken sounds delicious. I don't know if I have ever tried pickled onions.

Re: What's on your plate?

Ooohhh that looks so warm and hearty @heartsmyface! Great combo!
