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? 😄

@caitbird Happy belated birthday!  That looks awesome.  Nothing like warm Brownies and ice cream!!

[caitbird]

@CorgiMommy  thank you so much! 💜

[CookieGirl1]

I tried Trader Joe's new boneless ham, a limited edition product.  Lots of glaze mix in the packet; very sweet.  Pretty good, but I prefer their full spiral sliced hams.

I "slice," carving is not in my skill set. 🙂

You are so good at slicing that looks amazing and tasty! @Ispend2much6 so many potential recipies 🙂 

[Mellmars1185]

@Ispend2much6 Looks tasty! The outside is nicely caramelized. You know I have never made a ham before! 

[Samtian]

@Ispend2much6 Looks yummy! This year at Wal-Mart I saw a salted caramel ham, we are going to try it for Christmas this year. 

[Ispend2much6]

@Samtian  I wonder why no one thought of that before- that sounds delicious!  Walmart sells this ham also, I found out, for a $1 cheaper per pound than Trader Joe's.

Our Canadian BIC beauties celebrated Thanksgiving last week. This past Sunday, I decided to try my hand at making poutine in celebration with them. I forgot how rich and filling this dish is; I had to pause after a few bites and then passed it (and the remaining batch) along to friends watching football that day. And then I went for a walk and then a nap. And then another walk. 😂

This has got to be one of the ultimate forms of comfort food. I elected not to include any meat in this version.

An up close view. Next time I will try deep frying the potatoes and going with traditional (?) white cheddar cheese curds. And, by next time, at least a month has to pass us by. At least one. 

In all its gooey goodness!

Happy belated Thanksgiving what a lovely meal. This looks fantastic, beautifully made and crafted, I hope you enjoyed your day ❤️ @itsfi 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi This dish looks comforting and tasty. I am glad you were able to get a nap and walks in after eating it! It is definitely filling!! Thank you for thinking of us! Do you have any plans for your upcoming Thanksgiving?

[itsfi]

Poutine is one of the ultimate forms of comfort food, I think. It’ll be a low key Thanksgiving; family dinner and resting. I don’t plan on doing any shopping the day after, but will probably visit a couple of local boutiques I shop at during the year as part of Small Business Saturday. I have a handful of things that I need to take care of before then so I will be looking forward to Thanksgiving when it gets here.  @Mellmars1185 

[Samtian]

@itsfi Looks yummy! I need to try it sometime. 

[itsfi]

@Samtian, it’s so rich and decadent and delicious! 😋 But it will put you into food coma fast!! 😴 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  Mmmmmmm poutine!  You could have convinced fed me that was straight from Montreal!

 (It’s really all about the gravy and curds!). The fries just serve as a delivery system.  If you wanna cut down on the food coma (or if you can’t eat potatoes without consequences) substitute cauliflower under the good stuff;)  ha but if it serves as motivation to get out walking then that’s a good thing right? 

[itsfi]

Walking is a good thing indeed @heartsmyface. I don't think I have a potato intolerance - gosh, I hope not - I've not had one in the past, but that doesn't mean I can't have one now. 🤔 I may try it with cauliflower another time. Or, just not make or eat so much poutine next time. 😂 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  Ha I was projecting!  🥔 😈.   Cauliflower poutine is good and ought to be tried.  Poutine in moderation?  who does this?  

[itsfi]

😂🤣😂 @heartsmyface! 

[CynthieLu]

Poutine is a heavy dish, and great for sharing @itsfi Yours looks great and so delicious. I feel like I can smell it from looking at the pictures, Well done! 🤩

We have a chip truck open all year round by my work ( they are winter time hero's) after seeing this I need to make a visit today 😁 I got a craving! 

[itsfi]

You have a fries food truck near you @CynthieLu?! That would be dangerous for me. 🍟 Is your chips food truck just by itself or is it one of a handful in a space dedicated to food trucks?
