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? 😄

@Ispend2much6 This dish looks so fresh and colourful. I bet it tasted amazing!

@Mellmars1185 @Thanks it’s an old favorite.

Today I made banana bread with walnuts in it. I usually put chocolate chips. I have to say I prefer it with the walnuts.I had some today while it was still warm with a little bit of ice cream 🍦😋

@Mellmars1185 ,

If you had asked for a vote, and you didn't, I would vote for chocolate chips plus nuts.  The ice cream is an inspired choice!

[Mellmars1185]

Hehe @tsavorite next time I make banana bread I am gonna do it!

[tsavorite]

Wise choice, @Mellmars1185 !  😊

[Ispend2much6]

@Mellmars1185Yum!  This reminds me of cake and ice cream (and let's be honest; most quick breads are "cake" without icing!

[Mellmars1185]

@Ispend2much6 Hehe you are right about this bread being more of a cake. I added half the sugar because I find ripe bananas to be sweet on their own ☺️

@Mellmars1185 Warm, fresh-baked goods combined with ice cream is one of my favourites. I’m a little jealous… 

[Mellmars1185]

@JoSometimes There is always time for desert this evening 🤔

I’ve never added a side of ice cream with banana bread but I’m definitely going to give that a try @Mellmars1185. It sounds delicious. 😋 Great job on the banana bread - it looks good! 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Thank you very much! Definitely give it a try if you can (i recommend warming up the banana bread slightly)

Walnuts are sooo good,  especially in baking. That was a great idea 💡 @Mellmars1185 Now my sweet tooth says you can't go wrong with the nuts and the choclate pieces 😀 but I have a petty big sweet tooth.  

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu @Mellmars1185 This reminds me of that old el-paso commercial where they can’t decide on hard or soft tacos and the little girl replies “Why not both!?”

[Mellmars1185]

@JoSometimes Plus now we are adults so we can have both! 😆 @CynthieLu 

I want it all!!

[Mellmars1185]

Hehe @CynthieLu that is a great idea.l! Thank you 

[CynthieLu]

Lol @Mellmars1185 @JoSometimes that commercial, it was on to something! 😉🤩

[Cissy63]

@Mellmars1185  Oh this sounds so good, especially with ice cream 🍨!

[Mellmars1185]

@Cissy63 Thank you! It was a good combination because I find the butterscotch ice cream too sweet on it's own. 

[Cissy63]

@Mellmars1185  Oh what a yummy flavor 🍨🍦

Homemade banana bread is the best, @Mellmars1185!
