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? 😄

@peculiarzmakeup  Hahaha! It's probably been about 30 years since I've eaten Spaghettio's! That's nice that they have added calcium now 😉 Love that these made you happy! 😃

[peculiarzmakeup]

Our most recent Hello Fresh box. The flatbread pizza is definitely one of my favorites! 

SmashburgerLemon Spaghetti with Italian chicken. Its under the parmesan I promise 😄Veggie Flatbread, but I ripped some ham up for them.

Looks like fun and good eating @Samtian !

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian These dishes look amazing! I am glad the Hello Fresh boxes are working well for you! For a moment, I thought that was avacodo on the pizza 😆

[peculiarzmakeup]

These look so delicious! I smiled when I read under the Parmesan that is so relatable! I’m glad you enjoyed these they look awesome 🙂 @Samtian 

[CynthieLu]

These all look so tasty! @Samtian 😍

* Adding to my list of things to do - “score invite to dinner at Casa @Samtian - remember treats for the kitties!” 

Woah, all these dishes look delicious! That flatbread looks so good. Nice call on adding some protein (ham) to it. Is that arugula on the side?

[Samtian]

@itsfi Haha you are welcome anytime! The kitties are crazy for treats. It is arugala with olive oil ( I used lemon infused oil I think) and it came with a balsamic vinaigrette to coat it in. 

[Shosh85]

@Samtian  Oh wow! I've always been skeptical of those subscription food services, but all this actually looks super delicious! 😋 Glad you're enjoying it! 😃

[Samtian]

@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 😉

[Mellmars1185]

@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.

 (also tagging @Ispend2much6, because she showed some interest in the recipe too😉)

[Ispend2much6]

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

[Shosh85]

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