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? 😄

Thx you @CynthieLu . It’s really good. I love it

@blackkitty2014   Oooohh, seaweed salad- I love it!  Have you ever tried making it?  I need a good recipe. 🙂

[blackkitty2014]

Me too @Ispend2much6 . I need to know how. It’s super expensive buying from the restaurant or even from Costco. The ones from Costco is good but this one is better.

Stuck indoors today so I decided to try my had at making Chewy Gooey Flourless Chocolate Cookies (from recipegirl(dot)com site) for a mid-afternoon treat, along with a (large) cup of coffee. 🍪 + ☕ = 😍

@itsfi Coffee and cookies sound like a perfect combination on a day when you are inside! I hope you enjoyed them 🍪 ☕️

[peculiarzmakeup]

Those cookies look fantastic and with coffee just sounds like such a tasty treat! Love a cozy treat day! Beautiful photo @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Thank you @peculiarzmakeup! This was a fun (and tasty 😋) way to pass the time at home during the rain. I probably should make a list of recipes I want to try for the next rainy day. 🗒

[CynthieLu]

They were a success I take it? That cookie looks yum!  @itsfi? Everything I see here looks so cozy and picturesque. 🥰☕ 

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, thank you; I got a better handle of bake time, etc. by the 2nd and 3rd trays. I still tested a cookie from the other trays, just to make sure they tasted okay. ha!

[CookieGirl1]

Sounds like a good way to spend a day stuck inside, @itsfi 😉.

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, lol, my tummy agrees with you. 

[blackkitty2014]

This is what I called snuggly breakfast or mid day snack @itsfi 😘. It’s better if you don’t have to work and just take your time to enjoy this combo 😘

[itsfi]

@blackkitty2014, this was a fun one to try - I may have had more than just the two cookies. It was all in the name of quality control though. 🤣

@itsfi  This photo makes me all kinds of happy- I love the pink reindeer!

[itsfi]

@Ispend2much6, thank you; no complaints with the treats.

Two dinners from last week!

 

The Pitas are my absolute favorite we've had so far! And the one I almost didn't pick. With Hello Fresh you pick the recipes from that week you want. I was really hesitant, I've never had them before and for some reason always avoided them. Glad I went against my guy!

The second one is Jammy Bacon & Gouda melt sandwiches. I gave this 3/4 something about the jam and onions together was a bit off...but I've also pretty much have had a diet of cough drops for the last two weeks so that could be it too. 

We have another box of 2 dinners coming this week then a big break. 

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian Both dishes look great! I love hearing about your Hello Greah journey. I am sorry to hear you have not been feeling well. I hope ypu are getting better 🥰

[CynthieLu]

Trying something new is risky but yeahy! It turned out to be a win this time @Samtian 😃 hope you feel better!

[itsfi]

l love Greek and Mediterranean food @Samtian. Your pita sandwich looks delicious! Very cool that you ventured out and tried something new! 

[Ispend2much6]

@Samtian  You seem to be having a lot of fun with these.  Something about them is really fun; I learned some new ways of cooking from a couple of these box companies, but then forgot. lol

[peculiarzmakeup]

This looks so tasty! @Samtian amazing flavor combos! 😎
