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 think I'm going to do shrimp on the grill tonight, with zucchini and mushrooms."

Oh my goodness, that sounds delicious @sister13. 😋 I wonder if I could get a flight out in time for dinner. ✈️ Hahaha! Just driving by for some yummy food. 🤣 Happy to bring over some wine and can do dishes. lol

[sister13]

Okay, so shrimp and veggies tomorrow now, you have another day to book your flight!  My husband wanted fish sandwiches. i forgot to take any  pics but I take tilapia, slice it super thin and dip in egg wash, then seasoned flour, and fry it up. It’s inspired by an amazing fish sandwich we always get in Bermuda, called the Spicy Dicey! 🩷🩷

@sister13 I remember seeing your pizza posts last summer and thinking that they looked amazing then.  I bet they taste SO good.

[sister13]

Thank you! We were talking about how sometimes you want delivery pizza (or Costco) and sometimes it's nice to have the super fresh grilled pizza with different flavors. I'm reminding myself to use a lot of my herbs this summer! @CookieGirl1

Ooh I'm hungry just looking at these @sister13 I can just imagine how delicious they were. 🤩

[sister13]

Thank you! I hadn't done pepperoni before but it was good! It would be great with those little cuppy pepperonis if I can find those. @CynthieLu  

[CynthieLu]

Those are really good! @sister13 🤤

[peculiarzmakeup]

Those all look so delicious! Beautiful presentation! I love that you made them fresh! Looks so good 😊 🍕😍 @sister13 

[sister13]

Thanks so much, they do look a little fancy!! @peculiarzmakeup

You're inspiring me again with these this year, @sister13 !  They look scrumptious.

[sister13]

Thanks - they were really good! @Ispend2much6

This is a retro recipe called “sad cake.”

Really it’s the easiest, chewiest blondie you could ever hope to make.

The recipe uses Bisquick, eggs, salt, vanilla, brown sugar, and whatever mix-ins you would like.

I placed semisweet chocolate chips on top of most of it- they sink to the bottom and stay gooey.

 

[sister13]

Okay, that looks and sounds super delicious! @Ispend2much6 

[CynthieLu]

This sounds like it's a treat to eat @Ispend2much6 😉

[sister13]

Oh yum!!! @Ispend2much6 

[Ispend2much6]

@sister13   I'm afraid it "was."  There were only two of us eating it this week, and that "week" only consisted of a few days. 😂

[Mellmars1185]

@Ispend2much6 This looks absolutely delish! I wonder how it got the name?!?

[Ispend2much6]

@Mellmars1185  I did some "research" because I was curious also.  It's called a "sad" cake because although it puffs up nicely while baking, it falls flat (into brownie status and that doesn't seem sad to me!)

I like chewy cookies, and this is definitely chewy.
