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? 😄

The only thing better than poke is poke on Hawaii @blackkitty2014 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @CorgiMommy . This is 💯 made in Hawaii 😘

[CorgiMommy]

Now i really am jealous @blackkitty2014 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Everything looks fantastic and super flavorful I bet it was super tasty! Glad to hear you enjoyed it 🙂 @blackkitty2014 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx @peculiarzmakeup 😘

I love poke @blackkitty2014 💖 Your pic is bringing back memories - I would get up early to swing by this tiny booth inside a supermarket to get fresh made poke every morning and take it back to the vacation rental for that day's mid-afternoon snack ... or, sometimes for breakfast if I couldn't wait.😆 Oh wow, they gave you a lot of seafood too!

I hope you are having a fabulous time. Happy Thanksgiving!

I love poke too @itsfi My husband is not a fan of uncooked food but he loves seaweed and the cooked/smoked stuffs they offered. The place was so popular that by noon half the stuffs was gone. I wish we have a place closed to home offers poke this good Bonus : we have these for desert but we need to eat these for breakfast as well in order to finish these within couple days. We already ate 2 papayas 😘 and some rambutan. They are so sweet. Hopefully I can find custard apple in some other farmer markets

[itsfi]

I'm so jealous @blackkitty2014! 🤤 Those look so fresh and juicy - the papayas are huuuuge, and I bet they are bursting with flavor. Ahhhh, rabutan - I love that we can get there here and while they're good, they're not nearly as sweet and flavorful as they are where they are grown. Fingers crossed you find custard apples. 🤞🤞

lol, is it wrong that my knee jerk reaction was "more poke for you, blackkitty!" when I read that your husband is not a fan of uncooked foods? 😅

[blackkitty2014]

That’s my exact reaction @itsfi . More poke for me. 😘 The only con is sometimes we have to find some lunch places for the boys and I forgot to stop by my favorite poke place for mid day snack and the poke sold out fast. I got half dozen papayas at a steal $5 for all 6. 😂🤣

[itsfi]

Awesome deal on those papaya @blackkitty2014! Love tropical fruits! 😍 

Hopefully you can stop by and get another helping of poke at your fave spot before you leave for home.

[blackkitty2014]

Thx @itsfi . We tried to stopped by yesterday but they close to go fishing 😘

[CynthieLu]

Sounds like it was scrumptious @blackkitty2014 👌

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @CynthieLu . It’s really good. I love it 

[Ispend2much6]

@blackkitty2014   Oooohh, seaweed salad- I love it!  Have you ever tried making it?  I need a good recipe. 🙂

[blackkitty2014]

Me too @Ispend2much6 . I need to know how. It’s super expensive buying from the restaurant or even from Costco. The ones from Costco is good but this one is better.

Stuck indoors today so I decided to try my had at making Chewy Gooey Flourless Chocolate Cookies (from recipegirl(dot)com site) for a mid-afternoon treat, along with a (large) cup of coffee. 🍪 + ☕ = 😍

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Coffee and cookies sound like a perfect combination on a day when you are inside! I hope you enjoyed them 🍪 ☕️

[peculiarzmakeup]

Those cookies look fantastic and with coffee just sounds like such a tasty treat! Love a cozy treat day! Beautiful photo @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Thank you @peculiarzmakeup! This was a fun (and tasty 😋) way to pass the time at home during the rain. I probably should make a list of recipes I want to try for the next rainy day. 🗒

[CynthieLu]

They were a success I take it? That cookie looks yum!  @itsfi? Everything I see here looks so cozy and picturesque. 🥰☕ 

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, thank you; I got a better handle of bake time, etc. by the 2nd and 3rd trays. I still tested a cookie from the other trays, just to make sure they tasted okay. ha!
