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?

Thank you for explaining that 🙏 Oooh I think then yes, that's what I'm doing. I only feed it flour when I'm planning to use it, other wise it's back in the fridge. @Ispend2much6 

I'm not adding yeast and it just does it's own thing bubbling away. I have it out today because I'm hoping to make a fresh loaf tomorrow. 

From what you say, that's why mine must grow so well 😂

Re: What's on your plate?

@CynthieLu   So you never gave it any yeast, or used a mother from someone else that had yeast?

 

That is very impressive!  I wonder if mine would taste bad, for the reasons we discussed. 😉

 

I may have to try this.  The only fermented foods I've made are yogurt and water kefir, which is sugar-based (added fresh lemon juice to it.)  It's a pain, but it definitely is a strong probiotic for the stomach.  Great if you're avoiding dairy.  And most of the sugar is broken down.

Re: What's on your plate?

Ooh if I didn't say my sister gave me some of her mother dough, I don't know much about it but she made it herself and brought some with her on her last visit to Canada.

She convinced me it wouldn't be tricky to start using, luckily she was available for lots of long distance trouble shooting at the start. 😉 @Ispend2much6 

I just feed it unbleached flour and distilled water when I want it active and put it to sleep in the fridge if I'm not planning on feeding it everyday. 

Re: What's on your plate?

@CynthieLu  that looks amazing, fresh baked homemade bread is always so wonderful! How fun that your sister gave you some of her bread starter too, that's a sweet way to share something with your sister who lives far away 🙂

Re: What's on your plate?

Aww thank you!  You're so right. It's been really nice connecting over baking adventures long-distance. @caitbird 💝 And she has been really cool about troubleshooting the issues I had learning at the start to. 😉

Re: What's on your plate?

Wow @CynthieLu ! I can smell it from here! How great! 

Re: What's on your plate?

Thank you @Sunnysmom it's been so nice having fresh bread at home 😀

Re: What's on your plate?

@CynthieLu This bread looks fresh and delicious. There is something very comforting about warm bread, fresh out of the oven 🍞

Re: What's on your plate?

That is one of the best parts about making it @Mellmars1185 The smell of it being is like a warm hug. 🥰

Re: What's on your plate?

This turned out beautifully, it looks delicious 😊 @CynthieLu 

Re: What's on your plate?

Thank you! There's something about homemade bread that is so comforting @peculiarzmakeup 🥰
