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? 😄

@blackkitty2014   I've never seen a fig tart before- wow!

I hope there will still be plums in the grocery store- they just started showing up and they're not prime yet. 😞

Thx you @Ispend2much6 @itsfi . Our figs are about to be done too. I start to make chocolate banan fig smoothies. I might try to do fig lemon pound cake this weekend 😂🤣 oh boy I’m so fat just thinking about desert 😂🤣

@blackkitty2014   Never!

What a great way to use figs @blackkitty2014! It looks tasty! 😋 Good call on adding ice cream! 🍨

Shrimp ceviche: the only twist is I used cooked shrimp (my husband refuses to eat raw shrimp). I have lots of shrimps in there but since I need to watch my cholesterols I only put tiny piece in mine 😂🤣

Yum!!!!!

Hi @blackkitty2014 ,

This looks so refreshing and perfect for summer even with the cooked shrimp! 

Best Wishes,

Janean

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @Ispend2much6 @itsfi . I recommend this. I got requested to make this so many times and it was so easy 😍

[Ispend2much6]

@blackkitty2014   Your cooking looks so yummy and healthy!  I never thought to make ceviche with cooked seafood.  Great idea!

Made Banh Bao to celebrate my Vietnamese roots and my mother's cooking. Served on an artisan plate from Bat Trang.

This is really beautiful, @nhunka. The mini plate has such a pretty pattern, too!

[Ispend2much6]

@nhunka   That looks so delicious!  And it looks like a flower.

Bahn bao is so yummy, @nhunka! 😋 Yours looks beautiful; so artful - the bao and the gorgeous plate.

Thank you! I find therapy in photographing food (and then eating it) 🙂

@nhunka I don't have the patience for food photography. I'm too much of a glutton. haha.

@Samtian  Me too. I make it and need to eat it right away!
