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? 😄

[mimibel]

I love the type they have there!

today for breakfast I had a bowl of 2% reduced fat milk, for lunch I had a half onion and cheese/ham bagel with a side salad and a slice of cherry cake and later on in the day I had ten of my favorite wheat crackers! 😄

So, poptart for lunch sounded like a good idea until 6 poptarts later and now I've got a headache and feel sleepy from sugar overdose.....#SoundsLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime........

[mimibel]

1 box, 1 serving, or close enough I fail to see problem here 😉 It's smaller than your head so you are technically under the radar.

Enjoy them for me, I can't eat wheat anymore and of everything, those are one odd thing of a handful that I miss occasionally.

@ Mimibel, that midnight snack sounds good enough to be a snack whenever!!!!! Mmmm!

[lylysa]

What flavor???

[ChicDabbler]

Strawberry poptart. Ooooh the flavor of childhood and nostalgia.....

[lylysa]

Heckkkk yes!!!! Frosting/sprinkles and all!

I had an everything bagel that was the "skinny"/thin bagels with cream cheese and green and peach tea.

For lunch it's left over homemade chicken noodle soup and left over crab cakes eggs benedict from a local diner!

Not 100% sure on what I'm doing for dinner, but maybe steaming up some pork spare ribs.

Chicken noodle soup.....it is cold and rainy in OH.  I have chicken noodle soup on the stove right now. Mmmmmmm,mm

[lylysa]

We're both on the same page! I made a giant pot two nights ago but now it's all gone 😞

One of my girlfriends is stopping by my house tomorrow to pick up a container for her family.  She has been texting me all day excited about the soup.

@ The Adolphus Bistro in Dallas yesterday. It was rainy and I was still sleepy from the concert Sunday night so just hungry enough for a snack and a sweet. I don't eat many desserts (except fresh fruit and cream) very often but once in a while I crave a nice, decadent something. My fiancé said the Steak Diane was good. 🙂

Potstickers with Cilantro infused sauce

Vanilla Crème Brûlée ( lots of vanilla seeds, really yummy)

Earl Grey

Salad with candied walnuts, tomatoes and light vinaigrette dressing.

[ChicDabbler]

[lylysa]

It came topped on an english muffin with home fries.....yummmm!

[roxystar4]

[lylysa]

For some strange reason I've been addicted to carrot juice and has been buying a large bottle every time I go grocery shopping. I've also found a way to combine healthy and delicious. Boiled oats + chia seeds, then when it cools combine with ice cream. Oats milkshake? yummy

Haven't had time to really cook, so I've been boiling frozen dumplings in water + tomato and top it off with a bit of cilantro. Or spring mix salad + sunnyside up eggs.

[lylysa]

Oooo, the oats and chia with ice cream sounds super hearty! Yum!!!

To celebrate National Taco Day!  I made fresh Pico & Corn Salsa for our chicken tacos.  I even roasted the corn on my grill pan before I made up the salsa.

[lylysa]

Corn salsaaaaaaaa mmmmmmmm!!!! Those look super delish!
