What's on your plate?

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? 😄

Re: What's on your plate?

My sister from Texas came to visit and she did a lot of baking while she was here. She even gave me some of her sourdough starter before she left.

It was really fun trying to get this little jar of starter to grow and her giving me tons of long distance advice when it wasn't doing anything the first few days. 😅

My first practice loaf turned out so good 😍 and it was lucky.  I had to have dental surgery the very next day, I was afraid I wouldn't get to eat any of it lol. 😅

I'm on soft foods for the next week 😭

But I was able to enjoy a delicious last meal before hand. And it was fantastic 👌

Home made bread and spaghetti sauce with some veggies. I was trying to load up on nutrients 😉

Re: What's on your plate?

wow! Everything looks incredible I love how it’s plated too! And that sour dough bread fresh must just fill the air with amazing goodness, what do you like to pair with the sour dough I hope your dental surgery goes smoothly! @CynthieLu 

Re: What's on your plate?

@CynthieLu The sour dough loaf looks delicious! That was nice you were able to see your sister 🥰. Your meal before surgery looks great. I hope everything went well. 

Re: What's on your plate?

Thank you. I've made one more loaf since this one. I learn something new each time from my mistakes. 😉

But luckily loaf 2 was also a good one. I'm on a bread roll. 🍞

Thank you for checking in, it went very smoothly. *Phew* I was apprehensive about the whole thing tbh @Mellmars1185 

Re: What's on your plate?

@CynthieLu Glad to hear all went well. The best thing about making mistakes is learning ☺️

Re: What's on your plate?

That all looks SO good, @CynthieLu .

Re: What's on your plate?

Thanks! @CookieGirl1 I'm so happy the test loaf was an edible endeavour lol. 😀

Re: What's on your plate?

I have been trying to use up some fresh garden produce.

^ Double Chocolate Zucchini Loaf made from a neighbours zucchini. The zucchini was so large, I only used half to make this. 

 

I also prepped for tacos tonight with cherry tomatoes and hot pepper from the yard. It was an afternoon full of work but I am hoping it will be worth it. I tasted the pesto and I was proud of myself.

Re: What's on your plate?

Your gardening skills and cooking skills are so inspiring, I get so much inspiration from this fabulous thread I thought at first glance it was split pea soup but it bet it was such a flavorful pesto. Delicious! @Mellmars1185 

Re: What's on your plate?

@peculiarzmakeup Thanks very much! I struggle to find new ideas sometimes. This thread is very helpful! 💗
