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? 😄

@JoSometimes @Soup on a gloomy day is always a winner! What a great idea to add protein to the soup, I’ve never thought of that. 

[JoSometimes]

@AznAngelLiz I got the idea from a Chinese place near by. They have chicken, mushroom, or artificial crab.

@JoSometimes Sounds and looks delicious! I love soup. Thank for for sharing your recipe. I am going to give this a try.

[JoSometimes]

You’re most welcome @Mellmars1185! If you make some, I’d love to hear how it went.

Mmmm… this would hit the spot on a cold, gloomy day @JoSometimes. Yum! 

[JoSometimes]

Definitely @itsfi. It’s been cold and gloomy here lately. I might make some more.

The cold & rain has returned here as well @JoSometimes. Just when it was starting to warm up a bit too. Soup may be in the works tonight. 🥣

 I did a fresh and easy Chipotle style bowl for dinner last night and my kiddos loved it 🍽️ 

I used basmati rice toasted with cilantro, salt, and lime juice, topped with corn, black beans, onions, tomato, Italian season chicken breast, and a homemade guacamole 🥑 

I also had leftover homemade tortillas so I toasted those up in the oven and used them to scoop up the mix. 10/10

[AznAngelLiz]

I see lots of colors in that bowl and it looks absolutely delectable @bakeamuffin @so fresh and healthy! 

[bakeamuffin]

@AznAngelLiz thank you!! It really was, I could eat this bowl or a version of it almost every day! 🍽️

[Mellmars1185]

@bakeamuffin Such a great meal idea! I really like dinner bowls.

[bakeamuffin]

I’m with you @Mellmars1185 ! I need to find some more summery type bowls now that the weather is getting so nice, I know I won’t want to spend too much time cooking over a hot stove! 

[itsfi]

Delicious & nutritious @bakeamuffin! I love bowls like this - it looks so tasty. 😋 

[bakeamuffin]

Thanks @itsfi , me too! It makes it so easy to get lots of different nutrients in! I grew up in a Meat & Potato household so it’s really fun to do different meals with so much colour and versatility 🤩 also, love that you can throw in almost any veg & protein from the fridge and have it work! 

[JoSometimes]

That looks delicious @bakeamuffin!

[bakeamuffin]

Thank you @JoSometimes !

Homemade brunch today - Strawberry and Cream French Toast from the Half Baked Harvest Website (check it out worth every calorie)

 

[Mellmars1185]

[itsfi]

I love brunch! Yours looks beautiful and delicious @CorgiMommy! This is the first I’ve heard of that website but I did check it out and oh my goodness!!!! 😍😍😍 So many dishes I want to try to make. Thank you!

[JoSometimes]

That looks so delicious @CorgiMommy! 😋

[CorgiMommy]

@JoSometimes  it was.  Totally worth the extra bike miles I put on this morning to "work" the calories off.
