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? 😄

More adventures in baking 🍞 

My sister gifted me some of her mother dough starter when she visited us up here from all the way in Texas mid summer. I've had a lot of fun and definitely enjoyed eating the fresh results. 😊

I decided to try to convert the starter to Whole Wheat. That's the bread we really prefer most. I could have just made whole wheat bread with the starter the way it was but after some research I felt a  full wheat starter would be fun to try.

It only took a few days for it to look ready to bake and I think it turned out so well.

@peculiarzmakeup yum, sometimes you have to give into a craving

[peculiarzmakeup]

This is very true for me 🙂 @CorgiMommy 

[CynthieLu]

I saw these photos on the main page and I was pulled in to see them bigger. @peculiarzmakeup omg, they both look scrumptious.  But that dessert, I'm in love! 😍 It looks incredible! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

It was delicious! It kinda looked like a maze formation before it got melted. 🙂 @CynthieLu

My homemade pesto with cherry tomatoes on pasta

 

[Ispend2much6]

@Mellmars1185   Looks great!  I haven't made pesto yet this year, but I have two jars of pesto vinaigrette in the freezer from last year.  I always "save" my frozen stuff and then never use it.

[Mellmars1185]

@Ispend2much6 Thank you! I totally get it. I need to thaw my freezer soon and the amount of stuff in there that has freezer burn is sad. I need to reheat leftovers more ofter. Pesto vinaigrette sounds lovely. Do you use it on salad?

[Ispend2much6]

@Mellmars1185   It was a recipe to go along with dressing cold vegetable salads, like green beans, potatoes, etc.  I haven't tried it yet!

[peculiarzmakeup]

That is such a wonderful accomplishment I bet it tastes delicious and it’s super meaningful because you made it. I hope you loved it 🙂 @Mellmars1185 

[Mellmars1185]

@peculiarzmakeup Thank you! I did enjoy it. However, nobody else in my house at the leftovers. So I got sick of it haha 😄

[CynthieLu]

I love pasta, this looks so fresh and I can imagine all the tasty flavors. 😍 @Mellmars1185 

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Thank you 🙏
