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? 😄

I skipped dinner tonight cause all the meals caught up to me and I couldn’t eat.  I had a delicious blueberry lemon scone at noon though!

@heartsmyface ,

In my imagination, this is the best treat ever!  Wow!

[Ispend2much6]

@heartsmyface  Oh I want this!  Was the blueberry filling baked in the middle of the scone? 

[heartsmyface]

@Ispend2much6  Yep!  It was delicious and not like any scone I’ve ever had before.

Oh wow. I”d like one with that tea too @heartsmyface . Absolutely delicious 😋

Hi all, today is Sunday and we treat ourselves in my house at the weekends. I didn't cook much, just an easy pasta dish (paccheri with tomato sauce) but we bought a few things from a patisserie and some salty treats while doing the groceries. Sorry for adding pictures from blogs, but I can't upload photos from my phone rn, so I added pictures that look exactly like the foods we ate. We had erbazzone for dinner. Is basically a soft flat bread, filled with chards and parmigiano reggiano. It's very soft and healthy. You can eat it with a few chunks of cheese on the side, or some meat, for a balanced meal. Then we had the sweet moment. We bought rotelle al burro. The exact translation is "buttery car wheels" (I know, weird name 🤣)....basically these are biscuits made with shortcrust pastry, and stuffed with butter and milk cream. I remember when I was little how much I loved them 💗💕

I would happily eat both of these @Skunk12puzzola !  I love how Italians have such cute names for food.

@Skunk12puzzola,

 These look and sound so delicious!  Yum!  Bring on the "Buttery Car Wheels!"  The erbazzone looks delicious, too!

[heartsmyface]

@Skunk12puzzola   oh yum!!  Those cookies are very similar to something we eat at Christmas but with jam and walnuts instead of cream! 😋. I wish I could say ours had a fancy name:)

@Skunk12puzzola I've never heard of erbazzone but oh my gosh, that looks delicious.

[blackkitty2014]

Omg these look soo good @Skunk12puzzola 👍 

[Mellmars1185]

@Skunk12puzzola Those look and sound delicious. I hope you enjoy your Sunday with loved ones!

[Skunk12puzzola]

Thanks lovely, you too 💕💗 here in Italy, when we have yummy foods on the table, is always a good day 🤣 @Mellmars1185 

[Mellmars1185]

@Skunk12puzzola That spunds like a good day to me! It brings people together.

A few meals from the last week.

EDIT: Lemongrass chicken dumplings (not handmade by me), rice and cucumber salad.

Pizza dough hoisin beef, cabbage and onion rolls with a side of bok choy and rice (which in retrospect was probably unnecessary but we weren't sure how filling the buns would be 😅). I added a little too much egg wash and forgot to add the sesame seeds right away, so I'll have to try these again. I normally don't remake meals from my meal ingredient service but this I definitely would send my partner out to get ingredients for. 

Curry with sweet peppers, spinach, edamame, onions and toasted coconut. 

I also made a nice sun dried tomato pesto chicken sandwich but forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry. 

[blackkitty2014]

My goodness @haleyvvvv 😍 All the dishes look beautiful and delicious 😋. Can I come over?

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @blackkitty2014!! Of course!! 

[Mellmars1185]

@haleyvvvv All of these meals look delicious! I also had dumplings last night 😋

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @Mellmars1185!! Dumplings in there many forms are so good!!

[Skunk12puzzola]

@Mellmars1185 I have a doubt: dumplings and ravioli are the same dish/pasta type but with different names? 🤔 because we have ravioli here, maybe dumplings are the english word for them.
