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 would be sooo interested in a broth recipe @JoSometimes  I wish I could make that simply by feel 😍 it looks sooo good!

There's nothing like a comforting family meal that was *bonus* easy to prepare and execute. 🙃

Jelly over here!

@CynthieLu It was a big pot of chicken broth with maybe a couple teaspoons of each sauce I listed. Chinese sauces tend to be pretty salty, so they’re best used in moderation. Taste and add more as you see fit!

Paella, it is a Memorial Day Weekend tradition.  I am not really sure why.

@CorgiMommy ,

I'm really envious here!  I have never had Paella, and I have wanted to try it forever!

[Mellmars1185]

@CorgiMommy Mmm. I have not tried paella before. It looks wonderful!

[CorgiMommy]

@Mellmars1185 if you love seafood you should try it.  Thanks

[CookieGirl1]

Sounds like a worthwhile tradition, @CorgiMommy!

[CynthieLu]

Sooooo when are you having us over for dinner? 😉 @CorgiMommy 

[JoSometimes]

I loooove paella! All the yummy crispiness at the bottom and the seafood on top! This looks sooooo delicious @CorgiMommy!

[CorgiMommy]

@JoSometimes I agree the crispy rice is the best part,  thanks

[Samtian]

@CorgiMommy Whoo that is beautiful!

[CorgiMommy]

@Samtian , thank you, I have been making paella for over 25 years

[Samtian]

@CorgiMommy Nice! I've only heard of it before, never seen it in person.

Whatever the reason for this beautiful tradition, keep at it @CorgiMommy! The seafood looks amazingly fresh and delicious! My mouth is watering. 😋

[CorgiMommy]

@itsfi thanks, it is surprising that we can get such fresh seafood in  Colorado 

[Ispend2much6]

@CorgiMommy  Yum!  No reason needed to make that dish!

[CorgiMommy]

@Ispend2much6 thanks it is the specialty of the house 

[blackkitty2014]

Late posting but for Mother's Day I made my mom and a few coworkers some cherry almond cupcakes. Mom isn't fond of cakes 😞 so I made cupcakes. 

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian Mmm what a wonderful combination of my favourite things!
