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? 😄

@CookieGirl1 ,

That sounds delicious!

@CookieGirl1  Yum!  I never thought of baking those in individual pans.

[CookieGirl1]

@Ispend2much6 They're perfect for just a couple of people.

Left over turkey? Make turkey tortilla soup. It’s delicious 

I changed 2 things; I didn’t fry any tortilla strip but I use my favorite tortilla chips instead and I chopped 1 big tomatoes instead of using canned tomatoes and here is the result (It’s eaten up)

@blackkitty2014 ,

This is one of my favorite soups!  I would love this version.

[Ispend2much6]

@blackkitty2014   You make food look so appetizing!  I'm going to have to try this, after I try the sausage soup. 🙂

I made a similar soup yesterday, but it was simple and not as healthy as yours; fortunately my guys don't care as long as I put a lot of hot pepper in it!

TJ's turkey bone broth, a jar of their tall bottle of salsa (authentica?) turkey, can of beans, water, zucchini, dried onion, Mexican oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.

@blackkitty2014 ,

This is really making me hungry!  I'm so glad that you had such success cooking this beautiful turkey.

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @tsavorite 🌹

@blackkitty2014 That looks amazing! How big was the turkey? Can you share the recipe?

We went to my in-laws for Thanksgiving and usually my husband takes a to-go container home but he forgot this time and now wants a second "Thanksgiving dinner" so I may do something this weekend.

[blackkitty2014]

Here it is @AznAngelLiz . Gorden’s turkey is about 12 lbs. mine is 14lbs so I have to cook a bit longer.

[AznAngelLiz]

Thank you @blackkitty2014 

[CookieGirl1]

That looks delicious, @blackkitty2014!

[Ispend2much6]

@blackkitty2014  That's beautiful!  Did you guys eat turkey for breakfast, or are you in a different time zone than usual?  🙂

[blackkitty2014]

@Ispend2much6 Due to miscommunication, I thought I was gonna make thx giving dinner for everyone. Turn out my in-laws would do it today. Since I already had a bird and I never made one myself so I tried it out yesterday. Took me from noon to around 7-7:30 pm to finish cooking the turkey, the gravy, mashed potatoes and 2 side dishes. We had pre Thxgiving dinner last night lol 😂
