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 am taking the idea, @SportyGirly125

@SportyGirly125 Looks Delicious! We need to get our BBQ ready!

[SportyGirly125]

@Mellmars1185 Thank you. it’s been pretty hot lately so we have been using the grill a lot more. 

[Mellmars1185]

@SportyGirly125 Great idea! Then it does not get too hot inside 

[Skunk12puzzola]

Omg @SportyGirly125 love this!! 🥑's are sooo yummy and buttery 😋

[SportyGirly125]

@Skunk12puzzola Thank you. I love avocados. 

[heartsmyface]

@SportyGirly125  Omg this looks like heaven!!!  Tbh I’d just eat the meat and guacamole but I’d be a very happy girl!  

[SportyGirly125]

@heartsmyface I could have lettuce wrapped it too. So many ways to eat it. My husband stared at me as I kept putting more guacamole on.

That's a glorious burger, @SportyGirly125 ! As for a lil' extra guac., chips to the rescue! ie, "Red Hot Blues"

[Ispend2much6]

@SportyGirly125   I agree; you need more! 😂

[SportyGirly125]

@Ispend2much6 Haha. 😂

[heartsmyface]

Oysters and tuna tartar :). I didn’t remember to take a photo til after they were gone, but they were eaten with a red wine vinegar, agave and finely chopped onion. 

 

[SportyGirly125]

@heartsmyface Wow this looks so fancy. I never had oysters. 

[heartsmyface]

@SportyGirly125  Oh really?  Next time you’re in a port city you ought to try them!   Ha, they do have a reputation for being fancy but it’s cheaper to buy them at a fish market and shuck them yourself which is what we did. Fancy at home 🙂 

[SportyGirly125]

@heartsmyface @My husband has had oysters but I have only eaten clams. 

[heartsmyface]

@SportyGirly125  I don’t think I’ve had clams outside soups and chowders.  How have you eaten them? 

[SportyGirly125]

@heartsmyface My grandma used to cook and season them still in the shell. We would just have to get a fork and take them out and chew them. I use to eat them a lot until one day I saw little eyes and couldn’t bear to eat them anymore. 

[heartsmyface]

@SportyGirly125 

Not quite clams but I thought of this immediately!

Found him!  We were out at a fancy restaurant in Japan and this little dude was staring at me on my plate and I couldn’t 🤣.  He had a photoshoot instead.  We’re so not fancy so he got a name a squeaky voice and an honorary place on the knife rest. 

[Skunk12puzzola]

@heartsmyface this is hilarious, omg 😂😂😂

[SportyGirly125]

@heartsmyface Omg yes these pictures exactly describe why I can’t eat clams and things that have eyeballs staring at me like shrimp. 

I told my little cousin about shrimp having poop still on them when we eat them at Asian restaurants and now he can’t eat them anymore.

What a lovely thought to have at mealtime, @SportyGirly125. All sarcasm aside- this is news to me. Eeek! Prawns & shrimps never really appealed to me even before I read your post. So thanks for the intel
