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? 😄

Ina Garten’s Blueberry Bran Muffins, made with oat bran instead of wheat bran. Highly recommended!

 

[Mellmars1185]

@Ispend2much6 I bet these were delicious. Blueberry muffins are such a great treat!

[Ispend2much6]

@Mellmars1185  Thank you!  I need to stop baking; my body is rebelling!

[CynthieLu]

I can almost smell these 😃 @Ispend2much6 

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  These are best the first day; I wonder how the batter will keep in the fridge.

I did use plain kefir instead of yogurt as stated in the recipe and it worked well.

[CynthieLu]

I've never tried to keep batter beyond a day @Ispend2much6 did you have some extra left over?

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu   Not for muffins, but for pancakes, yes.  I know you're a cook so I'll get detailed here- there are some pancake recipes that even have leavening added initially to the batter that keep in the fridge for several days, but I haven't compared those ingredients to the ones in the recipes that are cooked immediately.

Sourdough and buckwheat pancakes are two types that can be refrigerated that come to mind.

Those look incredible! @Ispend2much6
