What's on your plate?

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 made BLT's for dinner today but forgot to take a picture...I did remember to take a picture of my desert though... I have not had one of these in years and it was so good. I think the cookies and icing are different than when I was a kid but I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Re: What's on your plate?

@Mellmars1185  Dunkaroos!!!  Ha, they still make those?  

Re: What's on your plate?

@heartsmyface Yes! I got them at a local grocery store. They have been hard to find. They sell them as individual packages now!

Re: What's on your plate?

@Mellmars1185   That can only be a good thing though!! I could sit and eat the entire box 😂

Re: What's on your plate?

@heartsmyface I agree!  I could have eaten more. They are bigger than they used to be aswell.

Re: What's on your plate?

@Mellmars1185  My family would love this!  They like a little cookie with their icing.

Omg ladies, I just found another licorice candy in my local store. The brand is the same, Fini....but these ones are called "gourmet" and the filling is lemon scented. I can't even explain how good these ones are. The licorice part is so good, it almost tastes like dark chocolate. And the lemon filling tastes like bergamot peel 🖤🍋😋🤤😍

Re: What's on your plate?

@Skunk12puzzola  That combo sounds like perfection!  What is it about the scent of bergamot that is so relaxing??

Re: What's on your plate?

Don't know, tbh @Ispend2much6 😂 but it's sooooo good. I also love it in black tea 🍋🤤

Re: What's on your plate?

At one time I had a bottle of bergamot olive oil. The aroma was incredible but I never figured out how to use it! @Skunk12puzzola 

Re: What's on your plate?

@Ispend2much6 wait a second, I know how!! it's pretty common here to use those olive oils (+ lemon/bergamot aroma or rosemary olive oil) on raw fish, or on carpaccio (meat or fish cut in very thin layers)....

Re: What's on your plate?

@Skunk12puzzola  Oh, I never thought of using it for fish- thank you!  Looks like I have enough rosemary for anything... lol I think these plants are two years old.

Re: What's on your plate?

@Ispend2much6   Rosemary lime water is wonderful for gut health;).  plus way more interesting than plain water! 

also, you can boil rosemary and make a ‘tea’ to rinse your hair with and it acts as a hair growth stimulate similar to rogaine if you have thinning hair. 

Re: What's on your plate?

@heartsmyface. Oh I like both ideas- thanks!!

Re: What's on your plate?

@Ispend2much6 wow!! it's so hot today, but you are making me want roasted potatoes with garlic + rosemary 🤤

Re: What's on your plate?

@Skunk12puzzola  And you may have just given me an idea for dinner!  Do you think rosemary and garlic roasted potatoes would work with a poached egg on top?

Re: What's on your plate?

@Ispend2much6 I just googled the combo because I wasn't sure of the answer. Actually yes!! I saw a few italian recipes with roasted potatoes, garlic, rosemary, melted cheese, eggs and bacon....in a casserole! 😋

Re: What's on your plate?

@Skunk12puzzola. Thanks for looking that up!
