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? 😄

Homemade Lemon Loaf 🍋 🍞 (Made by my niece 💛)

This was a delicious treat. Really lemons with a sweet glaze. There's something about lemon desserts I just love. 😃

@CynthieLu Oh that looks good!

[Ispend2much6]

I'm with you @CynthieLu , especially this time of year.  What a kind, talented niece!

[Titian06]

This looks so tasty,  @CynthieLu ! 🍋

[CynthieLu]

I confirm, it was! It's a lovely loaf, and she only uses real lemons and I really find that makes it taste even more delish. @Titian06 😀

100% spelt banana bread adapted from Sally’s Baking Addiction recipe. Switched maple syrup for honey and rice bran oil for applesauce. Used 3 small bananas.Yum

@Ispend2much6 I love the smell of banana bread wafting through the house 😋

[Ispend2much6]

@CookieGirl1  It definitely is a good "wafter." 😊

[CynthieLu]

Ooookay I feel like I can almost smell this! @Ispend2much6 It looks really delish.  😍

Bookmark this recipe @Ispend2much6. Your banana bread looks really good. Hope you’re doing well. 🌹

@blackkitty2014 Thank you!  I don't run into you too often here; but a lot of times I have trouble logging in.

We are in the thick of home improvements; long overdue, and I'm excited. But all of those decisions take a lot of investigation and time!  Even more than choosing the perfect lipstick. 😄

Definitely add 3 bananas to the banana bread and bake for less time than required; I baked mine for 15 minutes less, I think.  It left the middle a little wet but that's okay with us.

Thx for the tip @Ispend2much6 🌹

I'm trying to eat healthy now, so I had grilled chicken and vegetables for lunch

[Ispend2much6]

Ramen stir-fry with Trader Joe’s products: their chicken pineapple meatballs, frozen mango, coleslaw mix, Kashmiri pepper, and their Yangnyeom Sauce.

I need to know, how was this?? 🤩 It sounds pretty darn phenomenal. @Ispend2much6 

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  Sorry this is such a late reply; I'm not getting notifications and still having trouble logging on.

It was really good!  Sweet and spicy.  And good cold.  I've tried to investigate to see which company makes this, but Trader Joe's must have it made for their specifications by a specific company.

[CynthieLu]

No apologies necessary at all @Ispend2much6 I'm sorry to hear that your struggling with the app/website. 🩵😭

I'm counting myself lucky and can still navigate using the incognito mode on my phone's web browser, but I know lots of people have been having difficulties. 

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu   If I were trying to replicate this, I would use Kikkoman's Sweet Soy Glaze, some fresh ginger and garlic, and gochujang sauce. Maybe a little extra sugar because this sauce is sweet.

 Hello @lylysa and BIC !!! We'll on my plate u going to find  some fantastic Salmon ( Chile Lemon rub) fajitas black beans and flower tortillas.  (Margarita and a beer on the side) brutal Margarita addiction has lead me to a diet of mostly Mexican food lately. Haha. Great out door's type restaurant with salsa music fun festiv atmosphere.  Summer time is here. 

[CynthieLu]

That looks yum!! @sissyboi72
