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? 😄

@blackkitty2014Your son is going to make an excellent husband someday!  Good training mama. 😁

@blackkitty2014  Chocolate on chocolate?  Yum!!!  They're pretty too.  I haven't baked one thing yet.  I might be doling out cookies for New Years' gifts. 😂

@blackkitty2014 Looks yummy to me.

Have you guys seen these?! Ghlee lip care. Thought I’d put them on the yummy food thread. 😋 Rose, Chai, Peppermint and Mango I guess?! They are working on other products. Article mentions the cofounders and siblings said their mom used to tell them to use ghee on their chapped lips. Interesting! 

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  Sounds delicious!  Speaking of food products being used for beauty, once again I accidentally got fragrance on my fingers when spraying those little sample vials.  I read that using unbrewed coffee grounds as a scrub can help, and then olive oil. 

I'm a fan of coffee for scrubs now!   It left my hands soo smooth.  The olive oil didn't even work as well for smoothness and exfoliating.  I was a little shocked.

[Sunnysmom]

Well @Ispend2much6 I imagine if they can help our sniffers when we get overloading smelling fragrances then why not for our fingers too! 😃 Sounds good! I don’t like when that happens , it’s all you smell too! Ugh. And bonus with softness! 

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  Now I can taste perfume in my mouth because I ate something with my hand.  I'm dangerous; I need to go to bed.

[Sunnysmom]

Oh no that’s awful @Ispend2much6 ! Don’t like that one little bit either! Does that kitchen citrus soap help that? Never tried it for it. 

[blackkitty2014]

🤣😂 @Sunnysmom 

[eshoe]

It sounds good, @Sunnysmom - I am all for trying something food-inspired🥑🍋🍓😄

[Ispend2much6]

What a great invention!  Kitchen Aid, thank you.  I haven't tried it yet, but since I can "make do" with my regular mixing blade when making pie crusts, I can only imagine how well this will work for making scones, pie crusts, and biscuits.  If you buy this, please be careful to get the correct model- there is one for the tilt heads and one for the stationery ones.

@Ispend2much6 ,

This looks like a very cool pastry beater!  Thinking about the pastries that you can make!

[Ispend2much6]

@tsavorite   It's genius, isn't it?  I really want to try some scone recipes I have.  Winter seems to be a good time for them.

[AMK721]

@Ispend2much6  this looks amazing. Might have to put on my birthday list.

[Ispend2much6]

@AMK721   If you do, please share your creations here!

Tonight’s dinner - 2nd Thanksgiving but with turkey breast since it’s just for me and the hubby. 

Sides - mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, green beans with bacon, and Brussels sprouts with candied bacon.

@AznAngelLiz ,

That's a beautiful turkey breast!  Yum!  Great idea for dinner.

[blackkitty2014]

Yay 😀 everything looks wonderful @AznAngelLiz 

[CookieGirl1]

Your turkey looks beautiful, @AznAngelLiz.

[Ispend2much6]

Mmm...brussel sprouts and bacon- that's a great combo! @AznAngelLiz

Tonight's mini crustless quiches (and yes, they did end up sinking down into the dishes once they cooled a bit!):
