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  ooh, yum, this looks delicious! I love your idea to get inspiration from a restaurant meal. I hope you enjoyed!

[Mellmars1185]

@caitbird Thank you so much! I love finding ways to save money when it comes to food. 

[caitbird]

@Mellmars1185  me too, especially these days everything is so expensive, so it's great to be able to save some money!

That looks amazing! 😍 @Mellmars1185 I would love too try this at home.

I think bringing restaurant meals home is so fun. 😃 Did you just go by feel or did you need a recipe?

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Thank you! I went by feel for everything except the rice. I googled 'rice cooker Mexican rice' and I found an easy recipe. I didn't follow it exactly, but it was really easy. I will definitely make it again. The key for the rice was diced onions, tomato paste, broth and garlic. I luckily had all the ingredients at home already for this meal. So no wasting ☺️

[CynthieLu]

Love a no waste meal @Mellmars1185 👌

Yum! Onions and garlic are excellent flavour makers, you can't go wrong. 😃

This looks delicious @Mellmars1185! Oooouh basa, yum! 😋 It’s a great fish year round but its lightness makes it especially nice in the summer. 

btw, really like this pic! 📷 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Thank you! I got the basa frozen. This time I made it in the pan with some water, lemon and seasonings. It is a great price. I think I will buy it again 😊

That sounds amazing! I’m still trying to find a way to make non spicy foods less spicy I’m not one to be able to tolerate spicy but I wish I could looks so good! @Mellmars1185

@Mellmars1185 that looks AMAZING.  Seeing that suddenly makes me want one.

[Mellmars1185]

@CookieGirl1 Thank you! I was proud of this meal and seasoning the rice made it taste like the one from the restaurant!

[Mellmars1185]

@CorgiMommy Thank you! There was a lot of chopping involved but it was a fairly easy meal ☺️

It's BBQ season! 

This is Ribs from the BBQ with potatoes done in foil.

We just boiled the corn, the meat and potatoes took up alot of space. 😜
