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? 😄

Here's some of my over the holidays cooking. I found a magazine at Wal*Mart that said 100 different Holiday/Christmas cookies. So I bought that and made 3 for Christmas dinner.

@Samtian Your dish and cookies look amazing! Did you have a favourite cookie out of the ones you made?

[Ispend2much6]

@Samtian  These cookies are beautiful!  They remind me of snow, which is a good thing.  I might need to use your decorating idea for making cookies with my snowflake cookie cutter. 

[Samtian]

@Ispend2much6 Oh those would be cute!

Es Cargo 

a nice treat to ring in the new year dipped with bread it was tasty! 

[Mellmars1185]

@peculiarzmakeup How did you enjoy them? I remember when I was young, my Dad made them. The garlic butter sauce smelled amazing, but I never ended up trying them.

[Shosh85]

@peculiarzmakeup  Escargot is something I've never tried before..... not so sure I could handle the texture 😬🐌 ..... absolutely love it in skincare though 😉 Glad you enjoyed it!

[peculiarzmakeup]

I know what you mean! I think the sauce was so delicious I forgot about texture! It’s not for everyone. I liked it the first time this time not so much but it was nice lol 😂 @Shosh85 

[itsfi]

Oh wow @peculiarzmakeup, that looks good. What a way to ring in the new year! The first time I had escargot it took me a while to finish. I acquired an appreciation for it when I got older. Oooh, that butter and herb sauce with bread - so decadently delicious! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

I know what you mean! Thank you! Also it kinda reminded me of pesto sauce I kinda wanted to take it home and make pasta haha @itsfi 

[itsfi]

That sauce would taste so good with pasta @peculiarzmakeup. 

[CookieGirl1]

@peculiarzmakeup I've actually never had escargot!  I've always wondered, though--what's the texture like?

[peculiarzmakeup]

I think it’s depends on how it’s made sometimes it’s really good with the flavor other times it can be a bit more soggy. It is definitely something I was happy I tried at least once 🙂 @CookieGirl1
