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? 😄

Oooouuuh!! Your photos are amazing @heartsmyface! 

Pear and bourbon butter? That sounds delicious! I may have to look into a recipe for that - homemade gluten free bread is something on my to do list and that butter sounds like it would pair well with.

@itsfi  The lighting was sooo good!  I’m pretty sure they made it that way by design.  
also yeah!  I’ve never even heard of it before.  There is definitely some very fine orange zest in there too.  
You just reminded me I bought a gluten free bread recipe book only to never make gluten free bread.  I need to put it to use!

[CynthieLu]

I remember you said it had been a very long time. Wow 25 years! That's got to bring back sooo many memories. @CorgiMommy 💞

Thanksgiving feast:

Roasted root vegetables, scalloped potatoes & sweet potatoes, roasted rainbow carrots & parsnips, roasted brussels sprouts, veggie roast (with gravy and gingered cranberry sauce), butterhorn rolls, and cashew nut roast with herb stuffing.

And dessert:

Apple and pumpkin pie a la mode!

Everything was homemade by my amazing mom (with help from me and my dad), and everything was delicious! I ate way too much but I have no regrets 😂 I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 💜
