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? 😄

@ather   They really are!  I like my Le Creuset pot for making pasta sauce, but for everything else I prefer Staub.

I made a potato and celeriac gratin in the oval pan last night.  The veggies got nice and carmelized, but yet all I had to do was use the little Pampered Chef metal slotted spatula to scrape up the bottom layer (the best part in my opinion.)  It cleaned up very easily too.

Hi @Ispend2much6,

I love getting new kitchen stuff! Those pans look great. This year for Christmas I asked for cheeseboards, cutting boards, and serving bowls/ accessories! My boyfriend did great and got me some cute ones! 

Best,
Rebecca

@RebeccaBT   How fun!!!  Cutting boards are so pretty! One day I would like to get one of those huge pasta boards that have an edge that clips over the table edge to hold it in place. 🙂

Zwilling (the brand that sells Staub,) is having an extra % off their sale items today- I bought another pan! lol 

13 inch skillet- $99!

Have you ever heard of the Boos Mystery Oil and Board Cream Care products for taking care of your boards? They're supposed to be really good.  Amazon has them.

@Ispend2much6 What a great deal! Thanks for sharing! 

Best,
Rebecca

Good post @Ispend2much6 . You know you can use them as weapons too. You can hit us on the heads if we show up at your house unannounced. 😂🤣🤪 Joke aside. Thx you. I will look up these as I want a new set of cookware. I’m a kitchen idiot but I learn to cook more. It’s cheaper and more convenient too 😘 (ahem more money for makeup)

[Ispend2much6]

@blackkitty2014   You certainly are not a kitchen idiot!  Your food looks yummy and healthy!

The only thing about Staub is they get heavier when you put food in them. haha

Another post from me today. I'd love to see what everyone else makes/eats. Today for lunch I made some curry with a side of jasmine white rice.

[blackkitty2014]

@NinaNee Yummy, can I come over for dinner one night? 😂🤣🤪😘

[NinaNee]

@blackkitty2014 you sure can.

[RebeccaBT]

@NinaNee You inspire me to switch up my cooking! This looks great! 

Best,
Rebecca

[NinaNee]

@RebeccaBT Thanks! I'm glad I can inspire you. I would love to see what you cook.

[RebeccaBT]

Hi @NinaNee,

I will definitely start posting! Tonight I made turkey enchiladas and yesterday I made Italian Sausage and Peppers with garlic bread and eggplant parm (with no breading). I will start remembering to take pictures! 

Best,
Rebecca

[NinaNee]

@RebeccaBT That all sounds so good! Can't wait to see all the yummy food you cook!

@NinaNee  Beautiful pictures!

[NinaNee]

@ather Thanks! To be honest it took me a couple of shots before I got to this one lol

Stuffed chicken wings and egg roll with rice for brunch at my house today.

[RebeccaBT]

Hi @NinaNee,

I have never heard of stuffed chicken wings! They sound so good! 

Best,

Rebecca

[NinaNee]

@RebeccaBT Stuff chicken wings are so good imo. I hope one day you get to try some for yourself. I love eating them but I do hate deboning the wings so I only make these a couple of times a year.

@NinaNee  I’ve never heard of a stuffed chicken wing. Looks amazing 

[NinaNee]

@ather Thanks

[Ispend2much6]

@NinaNee   I'm so hungry now!  Looks so good!
