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? 😄

My pleasure, Evangeline!

The casserole ends up being like a heartier Hamburger Helper, it's easy and it hits the spot. Often when my bf and I make too much we freeze the leftovers and have easy heat-up meals.

There have been so many recipes and photos shared here, it's worth skimming through the pages of this thread! Food-gasm! 😄

I'll probably look through this thread all day, hearting your recipes and drooling over my keyboard.

I'm equally impressed with your cooking skills as I am with your beautiful makeup artistry. 

[lylysa]

Thanks, Evangeline! Time to get one of those keyboard shields if you're going to be drooling! 😛

There have been some killer recipes shared by so many users, I even followed one for homemade pizzas from BeautyJunkie...soooo delish!

Tuna salad, cottage cheese, romaine, green goddess.

Late night lazy hungries struck.

The tuna salad was made yesterday.

Are those sesame seeds, Mimibel?

My dad made me Chicken Noodle Soup for my sickly self. 

[lylysa]

I'm going to dive face first into that bowl!

[BeautyJunkie325]

It was mighty tasty!

[Urbie]

Mmmmm feel better beautyjunkie!  I've got a cold too- my fiance made me chicken noodle soup monday and then a chicken stew with soy sauce and sesame oil today- the chicken broth really helps a cold!

[BeautyJunkie325]

You feel better too!  I do think the chicken broth has helped.  I'm feeling a bit better this evening. If I'm feeling better tomorrow I'm making chicken fried steak bites. Mmmmm.

Right now I'm having.......lemon apple ginger juice! It's really good if you love tart flavors, mine could use a bit more ginger but I just got my Nutribullet and I'm still playing around with it.

[lylysa]

Oooooooo, that sounds real nice!

[BeautyJunkie325]

I'm sick & feel icky so my dad made me pot roast. Nothing like comfort food when you feel sick. 

[lylysa]

DROOOOOL

[BeautyJunkie325]

It was pretty good.  The only thing that would have made it better would have been some good yeast rolls. 

[malday]

I haven't had anything yet 😞 But later I'll be having fried chicken, collard greens, mac 'n' cheese and corn bread *drool*

[lylysa]

Million dollar question....what kind of cornbread???? Sweet? Savory? Spicy???

[malday]

Hmmm I'd say sweet, but not as sweet as some others I've tried.

[BeautyJunkie325]

Jiffy cornbread with brown sugar.....mmmmm

[lylysa]

High five for the sweet!!!!

I take Jiffy mix and yellow cake mix and put them together, takes the guess work out of sugar measurements.

[BeautyJunkie325]

OMG that is perfection!  what is your cornbread to cake ratio?  I may have to try that With my next batch of chili.
