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? 😄

@Skunk12puzzola  I love how colorful and beautiful fruit can look! 😍

[CookieGirl1]

@Saradestin I practically live on fruit but I never make mine look as esthetically pleasing as you do!  That looks gorgeous 🙂

[Saradestin]

@CookieGirl1 since I was little, I always played with food, depicting smiley faces with the food and things of the sort, so I think that I have kept that playful side of me over the years. As I don’t like cooking, at least to have some fun making it look good. The beauty of fruit is that don’t have to cook it! 🎉🎉😄

@Saradestin  Beautiful!  You are so right- it's almost fruit salad season!  I just picked up some blueberries from Trader Joe's that are from the USA; they're really good already!  I wonder if they're from Fla. or NC.

[Saradestin]

Blueberries are so good @Ispend2much6 ! And full of antioxidants! 😋😋

This would have been prettier had I decided to take a picture before I rolled it up. Everyone in the house is working full-time so I'm trying to think of interesting sandwich combos. If you have any favorites please share!

Black Forest ham, chipotle cheddar cheese, chipotle mayo, candied jalapenos on whole grain wraps. Shoukd have added spinach leaves now that I think of it.

Ohhh I love chipotle mayo!! @Ispend2much6 

[Ispend2much6]

@lmasterAh, you're a spicy gal!  I need to get my son to start experimenting on making his own- it's expensive!

[lmaster]

@Ispend2much6 oh yes!! Let me know if he whips something up 😍

@Ispend2much6 Looks great! My family is always busy with work and school so I am constantly making sandwich wraps. Some easy ones I make are banana and peanut butter and leftover bacon makes great blt wraps. I also love adding chips to my wraps for an extra crunch. ( not as healthy as spinach!) 

[Ispend2much6]

@Mellmars1185  Are we related?  I used to put potato chips on my sandwiches (when the calories weren't so hard to burn off, a looong time ago.)  😊

I may try to copy a fast food restaurant's wraps that we like- mediterranean chicken (grilled chicken tenders, chopped tomato, red onion, lettuce, feta, and tzatziki,) and chicken bacon ranch (the three ingredients in the name, jalapenos, cheddar cheese.) 

This means I can't take the easy way out and serve sandwiches for dinner anymore. lol  A panini maker dresses up sandwiches a lot.

[Mellmars1185]

@Ispend2much6  Hehe chips just add the perfect crunch to any sandwich! Great idea with the wrap 🥰

[Saradestin]

@Ispend2much6 It looks delicious to me! 😋😋😋

[Ispend2much6]

@Saradestin  I'm glad you have great visualization skills!  Thanks!

Dinner for tonight. I don’t think I put enough guacamole on the burger 🤣

[CookieGirl1]

That's fork-worthy, @SportyGirly125 🍔.

[SportyGirly125]

@CookieGirl1 Thank you. It was really yummy. 

[Saradestin]

No @SportyGirly125 , there was not enough guacamole! It is never enough! 😋😋 That looks DELICIOUS,!! 🤤🤤🤤

[SportyGirly125]

@Saradestin Thank you. It was super yummy. 

[eshoe]

@SportyGirly125, I don't think I have ever put any on mine? And now I am wondering if that is enough, too! Looks delicious~~ I am still figuring out dinner. Basketball is on tonight so I want it to be something fun without much effort. Yours looks perfect. 

Any chance that is a black bean burger? 

[SportyGirly125]

@eshoe @It’s called a cowboy burger and it’s sold at sprouts, Amazon fresh and Whole Foods.
