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? 😄

Beautiful dish! The ingredients sound so good and this looks so delicious ❤️ I am a fan of garlic on pasta as well it adds such tasty flavor 🙂 @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

Thank you, @peculiarzmakeup! I seriously love garlic on everything! 😋🧄

@Shosh85  Oh, this looks wonderful!  And inspiring.  How did you get the breadcrumbs to be so evenly toasted?

[Shosh85]

Thanks, @Ispend2much6! I thoroughly coated them with olive oil (butter can be used as well, I just went with the healthier option) spread it evenly in a pan or skillet (you can use either the oven or stovetop) and just frequently stirred/tossed until they became golden brown. 😋

Oh this pasta dish looks scrumptious @Shosh85 and hurray for leftovers of a fantastic meal. 😃

[Shosh85]

Thanks, @CynthieLu! This recipe made more than I anticipated! Definitely a nice lunch to look forward to! 😉

This looks delicious @Shosh85! It's awesome that there are so many different tastes in your dish - creamy, salty, crunchy and I bet that umami (deliciousness) too! Had I known there would be extra, I would have tried to stop by, tupperware in hand. 😊  All the goodness of that sauce is going to sink in even more to the meat and pasta. Yum!

[Shosh85]

Haha! You definitely shoulda stopped by @itsfi! 😜 It's always nice when I find a good recipe.... and my husband liked it, so even better! 😉

Christmas dinner.  Christmas Eve dinner was homemade pizza.  It's a tradition from when the kids were little; still works!

Linguine with burrata and lobster, antipasto salad, and tiramisu.

@Ispend2much6 Every dish looks absolutely delicious. I love the colourful antipasto salad. Lobster creamy pasta is something I would never be able to say no to. And Tiramisu?!?! Yum! 

[Ispend2much6]

@Mellmars1185  Thanks!  It was the first time I'd tiramisu, and it won't be the last.

[Samtian]

@Ispend2much6 Mmm lobster! Those look delicious! 

[Ispend2much6]

@Samtian  I'm ready for more tiramisu!

[Shosh85]

@Ispend2much6  Oooh! That looks delicious! I love lobster, but only cook with it on special occasions because it can get a little pricey. 
Such a great (and yummy 😋) tradition! 😃

[Ispend2much6]

@Shosh85  Thanks!  I never buy shellfish except for this occasion.  And it's the meat chunks already pulled out of the shell.

This time of year, all I want are starches, starches, and more starches. 😁

[CynthieLu]

That all looks so yummy!! @Ispend2much6 💚❤️

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  It really was; but we didn't even get 2 meals out of it! lol

[CynthieLu]

A delicious meal like that won't be around for long 😜 @Ispend2much6  

[peculiarzmakeup]
