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? 😄

@Mellmars1185 Oooh yummy. 

[Shosh85]

@Mellmars1185  This looks sooo good! What's on top of it?

[Mellmars1185]

That is baked prosciutto. They were kind of like big bacon bits

[Shosh85]

@Mellmars1185  That's what I thought - yummy! 😋

[blackkitty2014]

Yum yum yum @Mellmars1185

I made some popovers for breakfast! My husband likes them with butter, syrup and whipped cream, but I’m a purist and I just like melted butter on them! So delicious! 

[CynthieLu]

I can just imagine them with melted butter @sister13 😍 very yummy! 

[sister13]

Yes, so good!! @CynthieLu 

[Mellmars1185]

@sister13 Mmm they look delicious. I am having my morning coffee roght now and one of those would go so well with it!

[sister13]

Ahh, yes, they are great with coffee and tea!! @Mellmars1185

Your popovers are beautiful, @sister13 !  I have never made these nor eaten any, but I'm game to try!  I always associated popovers with English roast beef!  Am I just confused?

[sister13]

Thanks!! You are correct, they call them Yorkshire puddings! At my house, we mostly had them either with soup or for breakfast, but I do think that’s common in England to have with steak! @tsavorite 

They aren’t really very hard to make, but the right pan helps, and NO PEEKING or jumping (lol). My grandfather used to yell at us kids if he was making them to stay quiet and not run around the house.

@sister13  Perfection!  They look so good!

[sister13]

Thanks! They are delicious!! @Ispend2much6 

[blackkitty2014]

Perfection @sister13 . Mine always burnt on the top lol 😂 

[sister13]

Aww! This batch turned out well, but admittedly, the first batch is usually too dense/doesn’t rise and then i just adjust with more liquid. I haven’t found a recipe that works as written, but not sure if ours because of our altitude? And then I don’t make them frequently enough to remember the adjustments I make! 

I also do less time at 450 degrees, only like 10-15 mins instead of most recipes call for 20 mins before reducing heat. But we like them a little more doughy/softer than crispy anyway. @blackkitty2014
