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? 😄

Ravioli and tortellini are technically dumplings, @Skunk12puzzola, although I think a lot of people wouldn't consider them as such. "A dumpling is a small mass of soft dough that is boiled, fried, or steamed. Sometimes the dough is rolled out to encase a filling, other times it's formed into a mound and cooked as is. The definition allows for a lot of variety, so there’s bound to be disagreement over what is or isn’t a proper dumpling." A ton of different cuisines have different dumpling varieties.

@Skunk12puzzola The dumplings are in the shape of a half moon. They can be stuffed with anything really. The ones i had were stuff chicken and vegetables . We fried ours, ate them with chop sticks and dipped in a sauce. We had some sushi on the side.

[Skunk12puzzola]

Ok, ravioli are with a square shape, so I'm assuming it's not the same. We usually stuff them with meat, and you can eat them with burro e salvia (butter and sage for make them look shiny) or with broth. @Mellmars1185

Love ravioli with brown butter and sage, especially stuffed with sweet potato in the fall, @Skunk12puzzola @Mellmars1185 !! Noms. 

[Skunk12puzzola]

Ok ladies @haleyvvvv @Mellmars1185 , I just had a flash. I remember a recipe where you have ravioli stuffed with pumpkin, and on top sage and melted butter. We do that in fall/winter season 😋🍂

[Mellmars1185]

@haleyvvvv This sounds like a delicious combination. Like a fall comfort food. Fall is my favourite season 🍂

[Mellmars1185]

@Skunk12puzzola I have never tried butter and sage with ravioli. That sounds amazing!

[Skunk12puzzola]

Yes, those are pretty common here! Melt the butter in a pan. Then you have to pour the melted butter on the warm ravioli, stir them with a few sage leaves. And, at the end, add a little bit of freshly grated parmigiano reggiano on top. @Mellmars1185

@Skunk12puzzola Thanks I will try this! ❤

[heartsmyface]

@haleyvvvv  Ouhhhh what kind of dumplings?   they look delicious!!  ha, why am I looking at food and salivating when I am stuffed😅

[haleyvvvv]

They're lemongrass chicken from a local shop, @heartsmyface!! They make frozen bags to sell at local hipster grocery stores which is really nice. Also, because good food is good food; even if I am stuffed, if someone puts a yummy looking thing in front of me, I'm going to want to eat a bite at least. 

[Skunk12puzzola]

I feel you....we can't have enough food, ever 🤣😋 @heartsmyface I always look at cute meals photo for ideas for the next "fix" haha

[Skunk12puzzola]

The dumplings look cute @haleyvvvv 🥟🥰

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @Skunk12puzzola!! They're really tasty and from our favorite local shop, these ones were lemongrass chicken.

This sounds like a very happy circumstance for you!  The food looks delicious!

[CookieGirl1]

@heartsmyface Umm, when he's done at your house, do you want to send him over to mine? 😂

[blackkitty2014]

That is it @heartsmyface . I invite myself over. Your guest is definitely a pro. 😋😋😋

[Mellmars1185]

@heartsmyface Looks delicious! I need a friend like that in my life 🤭🤣

[haleyvvvv]

Oooh, what a lovely house guest, @heartsmyface!! Now I'm taking a boat to you, lol. Also, just the plating is so pretty, especially that chicken meal. 

[heartsmyface]

@haleyvvvv  He’s seriously the best kind!  I’m not used to eating so much so often but I’m appreciating it while it lasts!  ha, it’s just a ferry away!
