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? 😄

Re: What's on your plate?

@SportyGirly125   Thank you- it was a nice, lighter change from pumpkin pie (not that we don't love that too.)

Re: What's on your plate?

Pumpkin. Mousse. Cheesecake. Are there three better words?!! These look amazing @Ispend2much6! Yum!!! 😋 Your son and his friends are super lucky!

Re: What's on your plate?

@itsfi   Chocolate mousse cheesecake maybe?  Thanks!  I used Tate's gingersnap cookies for this, and boy are they good!

Re: What's on your plate?

Good one @Ispend2much6! But just to be sure, I'll need to try both the pumpkin mousse cheesecake and the chocolate mousse cheesecake. Just to be sure, of course. 🤣

Re: What's on your plate?

Coming in with the heartier fattening soups @Ispend2much6 smartly did not make this week. 😳🙄😂Creamy chicken noodle soup that tastes just like pot pie and chicken meatball tortellini (only had mini raviolis) soup, both so easy and good. (Can use turkey or sausage too.) So yummy for our chillier weather finally. And hey, the good fats...maybe?! 😬

Re: What's on your plate?

@Sunnysmom yum yum 😋 Save me a bowl or two ... I come right over 🥰🤣😂

Re: What's on your plate?

Yes yes @blackkitty2014 please do! 🤗

Re: What's on your plate?

@Sunnysmom @These look so yummy especially since it’s been colder. 

Re: What's on your plate?

Def comforting @SportyGirly125 ! 

Re: What's on your plate?

Mmmm.... I love soup @Sunnysmom, and this is the perfect weather for soup! 😋 

Re: What's on your plate?

Me too @itsfi ! I’m trying to learn to make different ones these days. Do you have some favorites?! 

Re: What's on your plate?

@Sunnysmom  I could reeeally go for some creamy chicken noodle soup right now. Both of these look delicious! 

Re: What's on your plate?

Thanks so much @WinglessOne ! 😘

Re: What's on your plate?

@Sunnysmom Mmm those look delicous!

Re: What's on your plate?

Thanks @Samtian ! 💞

Re: What's on your plate?

@Sunnysmom  Yum!  The chicken soup is even pretty!

Re: What's on your plate?

It is @Ispend2much6 ?! That’s funny. Thank you! The spices etc floated to top I see too. Looks like more than it it maybe! Soup sure helps not having to cook as much doesn’t it!

Re: What's on your plate?

My food processor...full of my crystallized tears peppered with flakes of mascara, because I was so happy to discover that vanilla sugar can be made not just by scraping out the seeds from the individual beans (after following that exact process,) but also by chopping the beans into 1-2 inch pieces and throwing them in my food processor with the sugar!

Tears and mascara :)Tears and mascara 🙂The finished productThe finished product

Vanilla sugar made this way has chunks of bean mixed with the sugar instead of just the seeds, but I see this as a plus because all of that beautiful vanillan and vanilla oil will seep into the sugar as it ages, making it even stronger and more flavorful.

I'll happily sift the sugar later, rather than scrape beans now.

Re: What's on your plate?

I learn the most fascinating things on BIC! I’m going to have to try this @Ispend2much6! 😍

Re: What's on your plate?

@itsfi   Me too!  I'm so happy to have gotten this done.  My beans were a few years old, but still in good shape (the ones in glass vials keep the best.)  It needs to set for awhile to get enough flavor, so I think I'll be good for Christmas baking.

Re: What's on your plate?

I never knew this stuff @Ispend2much6 @missjeanie . Thanks for such good info! I’m such a rookie at all of this kind of thing. So delicious. Tears, that’s a good one! 😂 Your soups look amazing!
