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? 😄

Now that's comfort food 🥰🥰 @Ispend2much6 looks like it was delicious.

@CynthieLu   I'm thinking of adding it to our meal plan...expensive but so easy and yummy.

This looks fantastic! @Ispend2much6

@Ispend2much6 Looks delish!

[Ispend2much6]

@Samtian  Maybe smashing my own burrata into bits would save some money from the already shredded kind.  I'll have to investigate.

[CorgiMommy]

@Ispend2much6 what a great idea!

[CynthieLu]

Oooh there is something about goodies behind glass 🤩

This display is so appetizing but I only ordered a coffee 😅

@CynthieLu These look amazing. You have a lot of will power!

[peculiarzmakeup]

Oh wow what a beautiful display everything looks so yummy! @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

This place really focuses on taste and quality. The latte was soo smooth. 👌 @peculiarzmakeup 

[Samtian]

@CynthieLu They get me everytime! I want all the things. 

[CynthieLu]

I'm the same, my eyes are much bigger than my stomach 🤣 @Samtian 

[CorgiMommy]

I would have been tempted @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

I was, I only had enough for a latte so it was easy to skip the yummy treats 😉 @CorgiMommy 

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu I know what you mean!  Something about seeing a whole display of yummy treats housed inside of a sparkling bright glass case always makes me oddly happy.

[CynthieLu]

You know it! It's all so satisfying and tempting encased in a beautiful glass box. @CookieGirl1 😍

[heartsmyface]

@CynthieLu  That looks so warm and charming!  I bet it smelled delicious too!! 

[CynthieLu]

It was such a cozy little spot, and everything was very well done @heartsmyface 💝

[quspork]

You are a better woman that I am to resist those amazing looking treats, @CynthieLu! 

[CynthieLu]

It wasn't easy @quspork but I will say thier latte's were spectacular. 😁

We went to the most magical restaurant/tea house tonight!  Before dinner we took a stroll along some lit up trails to the water and around the venue.  I would have been completely happy if the food was subpar but no.  We ate in private dome tents on the water, all the food was infused with tea and was cooked to perfection.  After dinner we did a tea tour and received education on tea harvesting and we tried various organic teas and blends.  After that there was a light show where they darkened the whole venue and  lit up all the domes following the beat of Christmas music!  It was absolutely spectacular!  

 

 a heart!  

 

 

 

 

 a roast squash soup with pumpkin seed oil.  

Sourdough bread I couldn’t have but the pear and bourbon butter I could!  I may have eaten it straight;) 

 pomegranate truffle arugula salad! 

 mmmm fish and potato pavé! 

 

A citrus gelee, matcha truffles and raspberry rosemary custard. 

 

 a hot apple cider 

 I bought a lot of teas on the tour and, after chatting with the most charming owner, I ended up leaving with a extra large ice cream scoop of that pear bourbon butter to hold me over until our next visit!
