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? 😄

@Shosh85 Thank you. We have been. It's always a bummer if an ingredient gets left out, but they give credits when that happens. Beyond that they've been great. We'd usually just eat fast food or something. But sometimes some of these are too much for us to eat. They are a lot!

I've posted this one on here before, but my husband put in a special request for it tonight, so I figured it deserved another picture...

 General Tso's Chicken - With a side of steamed white rice and broccoli baked with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, ground ginger and orange peel. This is probably my husband's most favorite meal that I make 😉

@Shosh85 This dish looks amazing! My husband is also a big fan of General Tso Chicken. He would be very happy if I made this for him! Do you follow a certain recipe?

[Shosh85]

@Mellmars1185  It's definitely a favorite at my house!

I have it memorized now, but yes it's from a recipe! 

Spoiler

Wanted to point out that for Step 2, you don't necessarily need to have a glass container with a lid. I usually just put the ingredients in a gallon size ziplock bag, mix it, then add the chicken and shake it around until it's fully coated.

@Shosh85  Thank you!  And, it's a slow cooker meal!!

[Shosh85]

@Ispend2much6  Yup! Although, you do have to sear the chicken beforehand 

[Mellmars1185]

@Shosh85 Thank you for this! I will post when I make it!

[Shosh85]

@Mellmars1185  Yes, please do!

I can see why this is a favorite for both of you. It's sounds like it's incredible. 🤩 @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

@CynthieLu  Yup, it's definitely a hit in our house - I probably make it a couple times a month and neither one of us has gotten sick of it. 😉

[CynthieLu]

I saw you shared the recipe @Shosh85 thank you for that! I definitely took notes. I want to make this sometime. 🤩

[Shosh85]

@CynthieLu  If you do end up making, I'd love for you to post it here 😊

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 🖐 I'd like to put in a request too please. Holy that looks amazing.

2nd this @Shosh85 @Samtian 😋 Great idea to include orange peel in the seasoning! 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Yup, the ground orange peel is my favorite! Gives it a nice little bit of tanginess that goes so well with the chicken! 😋

[Shosh85]

Haha! @Samtian  Thanks so much! 😃

[Ispend2much6]

@Shosh85  Wait- you're saying that you made General Tso from scratch?

[Shosh85]

@Ispend2much6  Well, I mean, I didn't kill and pluck the chicken, 😂 but yes, everything else from scratch! 😃

[peculiarzmakeup]

This looks so tasty! Love the seasonings such a nicely presented dish as well! Hope you enjoyed ❤️ @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

Thank you, @peculiarzmakeup! This the one my husband asks for the most! 😃

Looks delicious and healthy!  @Shosh85
